Leeds have announced the death of their former captain and Great Britain forward Mick Clark, who lost his battle with Parkinson's Disease on Friday at the age of 78.

Clark made just over 200 appearances for Leeds from 1963 to 1969 and was a member of their Challenge Cup-winning team in the famous "Watersplash" final at Wembley in 1968.

He also played for Dewsbury, Huddersfield and Salford and ended his career with a spell as player-coach at Keighley.

Andy Murray has given Britain a 1-0 lead over the United States in the Davis Cup and the Scot says he played a "high level" of tennis.

"It was pretty special and I'm glad I managed to play a good match and get the win," said the British number one.

"I played an extremely high level of tennis the first two sets. I was pretty fired up at the beginning, emotions were running high. I had a slight lull but I settled down and played a good fourth set."

Jodie Taylor puts England ahead in the eighth minute against Australia, the Portland Thorns striker netting a superbly hit cross-shot to record her first international goal.

A police officer who seized CCTV footage of a street scuffle as a "tool to blackmail" Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard has been jailed.

"Nobody is quite sure how, after a pummelling for two sets, but Donald Young gets back into the match by taking the third set to trail Andy Murray 1-6 1-6 6-4. Murray gets a bit loose for the first time today and the American takes advantage, prompting a few gasps around the arena. It's hardly panic stations for Team GB but Young will at least have gained some confidence for the rest of the tie."

Over on the continent, AC Milan coach Filippo Inzaghi is refusing to blame a perennial injury crisis for his team's indifferent form.

Midfielders Nigel de Jong and Riccardo Montolivo have joined half a dozen other players on the injury list for Saturday's Serie A match against Verona, which is seen as crucial to Inzaghi's future.

Inzaghi, whose team are joint 10th in the league, said: "What drives me forward is to prove [to] the club that they did well to choose me this summer, the team are behind me and they are not influenced by others."

Dave King, Paul Murray and John Gilligan are now on the board but will seek to add further board members.

David Somers and James Easdale had already resigned from the board before today's extraordinary general meeting, with Derek Llambias and Barry Leach voted off. The latter pair will still be employees of the club and their contracts will need to be terminated.

Consortium leader Dave King gives his reaction to news Paul Murray, John Gilligan and himself have been voted on to the Rangers board, with Derek Llambias and finance director Barry Leach voted off.

"It's not a turning point in the history of the football club but a turning point in future to take it back to it history," says King.

"What we want is a football club that reflects that history both on the field and off the field."

Dave King, Paul Murray and John Gilligan have succeeded in being voted on to the Rangers board at Friday's extraordinary general meeting at Ibrox.

Liverpool should not be one FA Cup win from Wembley according to manager Brendan Rodgers as his side prepares for their FA Cup quarter-final with Blackburn Rovers.

"In many ways I wish semi-finals weren't at Wembley as I think it takes something away from it," says Rodgers. "Wembley should be just for the final."

And the Reds boss gets animated when comparisons are drawn between departing captain Steven Gerrard and the man many expect to replace Gerrard in his role, Jordan Henderson.

"There is no comparison," adds Rodgers. "People should stop trying to put pressure on a young player like Jordan. Just because Jordan takes corners, doesn't mean he's the next Steven Gerrard. Just because he shoots from outside the box, doesn't mean he's the next Steven Gerrard."

Andy Murray leads Donald Young 6-1 6-1, with just one unforced error to the Scot's name. Two sets down in 47 minutes and US captain Jim Courier might be running through a few answers to questions about his team selection later today. Steve Johnson, ranked three places higher than Young at 44 in the world, will feature heavily.

Brendan Rodgers is still searching for his first trophy since becoming Liverpool manager in 2012 and before the visit of Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday, feels his side are now ready to win silverware.

"The first year here was about integration, the second-year objective was to get in the Champions League, this season I felt we had depth to challenge for trophies," says Rodgers.

"If we can arrive in the top four and win a trophy that will be success for us this season."
