    Foster to call time on commentary careerpublished at 12:14 British Summer Time 20 April 2017

    Athletics

    BBC commentator Brendan Foster is to retire after August's World Athletics Championships in London.

    Foster, a former European 5,000m gold medallist and a Commonwealth champion at 10,000m, began his commentary career in 1980 covered nine summer Olympic Games for the BBC.

    There have been so many magnificent pronunciations with that mellifluous north-east accent, my favourite being "Ondieki" and with his final London Marathon commentary coming up this weekend, Brendan recalls his prized moments.

    West Ham boss Slaven Bilic has said "never say never" when asked whether he would like to sign Chelsea skipper John Terry.

    The 36-year-old former England centre-back said he would be leaving Stamford Bridge at the end of the season having been with the Blues for 19 years.

    Bilic said: "We are going to see. I'm a big admirer of John, he is one of the best that ever played, not only in that position but in general. He won everything, he did everything and we are talking about an England captain, a true leader. We are pretty well covered in that position, we have quality and we have experience, but we will see."

    Bournemouth were soundly beaten at Tottenham last week and are without a win in their last four league matches.

    The Cherries, who host 19th placed Middlesbrough on Saturday, are only seven points clear of the drop zone, with 35 points from 33 games, and defender Adam Smith told the Daily Echo: "We are absolutely in a relegation fight, we have to get to 40 points, at least."

    Liverpool

    Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson has not played for the Reds since 11 February, having been sidelined with a foot problem.

    And manager Jurgen Klopp is unsure whether the England midfielder will return before the end of the season.

    "He can’t really train," he said "We have to wait. If there is something else to say I would. We are in intense talks with different medical departments. He is already not patient anymore.

    "He looks really healthy, but he cannot play football."

    And the rest of the team news:

    "Adam Lallana is in a good way working with the rehab coach. Should be full training next week, Wednesday or Thursday.

    "Danny Ings is running again but he's not close to coming back."

    Staying with Liverpool and former skipper Steven Gerrard will play for the club in an end-of-season friendly in Australia.

    The Reds will face A-League side Sydney FC at the ANZ Stadium on 24 May and former defender Jamie Carragher, 39, and ex-Anfield winger Steve McManaman, 45, both now television pundits, will also feature, along with Danish ex-defender Daniel Agger, 32.

    "I thought we have to show the whole LFC package - that means the actual squad and a few of our legends," Jurgen Klopp explained. 

    "They are still young enough and look good enough in the kit that we can show them."

    No mention of Jan Molby though.

    Here's Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp responding to a question on reports linking his club to signing Manchester City keeper Joe Hart:

    "We always think about the squad and goalkeepers. Is it [this question] about Joe Hart? In this specific case we can talk about it. He's a fanatstic goalkeeper. The highest quality, but we have the highest quality goalkeepers. It's not for us nor in the future. We have these two strong keepers."
