    Piggott pays tribute to Edderypublished at 18:51

    Horse Racing

    Racing legend Lester Piggott has paid tribute to Pat Eddery after the 11-time champion jockey died at the age of 63.

    Piggott, the winner of the Derby at Epsom nine times, was a friend and rival of Eddery.

    "Pat Eddery was as fierce an opponent on the racecourse as he was a loyal and dear friend off it," said the 80-year-old.

    "He was a natural horseman, he exuded class and always knew what to do in a race.

    "The horses he was associated with speak for themselves, and I doubt you’d find a jockey with a sharper tactical brain or stronger in a finish. He was a huge personality in the weighing room, and wasn’t slow to keep us all grounded with his wit and sense of humour. He will be sorely missed."

    Rangers bossMark Warburtonsays he will not be afraid to suggest a £1m signing in January, despite the club's ongoing cash shortage. 

    Rangers last week admitted they would need up to £2.5m of shareholder loans to see out the season, but Warburton brought in 11 players during the summer, three on loan, and he is looking for one or two in the winter transfer window. 

    "We will put forward players we think can add value," said Warburton. "It's about trusting your judgement and getting the right value for the club. If it's near seven figures and we think it represents good value, we will put it to the board. Absolutely."

    Former Newcastle midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa has told France Football of his "hell" on Tyneside as his career in English football drew to a close. 

    The 28-year-old was prevented from joining Nice in January because of Fifa regulations and was left to train with the club's youngsters after then manager Alan Pardew finally lost patience with him and eventually sent out on an ill-fated loan spell to Hull. 

    "It was a very, very difficult period. The worst of my career," he said. "It was as if my hell began at Newcastle. I did not understand. They gave me a nightmare. It was full of little cheap shots. And when I believed in me [getting out] by signing for Nice, they were forbidden to hire me until July."

    Head coach Mike Ford believes Sam Burgess "didn't have the stomach" to fight for his future at Bath. 

    The 26-year-old left the club last week to return to former club South Sydney Rabbitohs after just a year in the 15-a-side code.

    "All I know is that he didn't have the stomach to see out his contract," said Ford. "For me this was the time to roll his sleeves up and become the player that I thought he could be - and he chose not to.

    "You don't know what he was thinking, it wasn't until the final talk I had with him that I felt there was nothing more I could do. 

    "But I did speak to him about that and about what a fantastic player he could be, and about the investment the club and the players had made in him, and that it was time to repay that. But he chose differently."

    Professional Jockeys Association executive director and former jockey Dale Gibson has paid tribute to former champion jockey Pat Eddery, who has died.

    "It was a pleasure and a privilege to sit next to him on occasions and an even greater one to ride against him," said Gibson. 

    "He never seemed to fluster or show any sign of nerves, whatever the circumstances. He developed his own unique style which some tried to copy but rarely replicated, his hands were silk, his whip action perfection.

    "Pat's ability and passion were the same whether it was a Windsor seller on a Monday or an important Group 1 at Ascot."
