Watford legend and former Wales international Kenny Jackett has died at the age of 64.
Watford-born Jackett made 428 appearances for his hometown side during a one-club playing career that also saw him win 31 caps.
Forced to retire at the age of 28, following persistent knee injuries, he began a long coaching career which included spells in charge at Watford, Swansea City, Millwall, Wolves, Rotherham, Portsmouth and Leyton Orient.
Jackett became director of football at Gillingham in 2022, but stood down from his role for medical reasons in November 2024.

A left-sided defender or midfielder, Jackett was part of the Watford side who won promotion to the top flight under Graham Taylor, and played for the Hornets in the 1984 FA Cup final as they were beaten by Everton.
As a manager, he led Swansea to promotion from the fourth tier in 2004-05, their Welsh club’s final season at their former Vetch Field home, and masterminded a Football League Trophy triumph in 2006.
He won the League One play-offs with Millwall in 2010 and the third-tier title at Wolves four years later, amassing a then-record 103 points, while he won the Checkatrade Trophy at Portsmouth in 2018-19.
League Managers Association (LMA) chief executive Richard Bevan said: “Kenny stands as one of the most respected managers to have plied their trade in the EFL, a hugely capable leader whose work across four decades has left a lasting influence on the many players, coaches and colleagues who benefited from his guidance.”

“Kenny is a huge loss to all that knew and loved him. Our thoughts are with his wife Samantha, sons David and Ryan, and all of his family and friends, who join us in mourning.”
Though born in England, Jackett was eligible for Wales through his father Frank, who also played for Watford.
When injury brought a premature end to his playing career in 1990, he remained at Vicarage Road and became a coach before being appointed manager in 1996 when Taylor became director of football.
In a statement, Watford described him as “a local lad who quite simply lived and breathed the Hornets, Jackett was a homegrown star who played an instrumental part in some of our greatest successes”.

Watford chairman and chief executive Scott Duxbury said: “There is a deep and profound sense of loss at the football club following the sad news Kenny Jackett has passed away.
“Kenny holds legend status here following his remarkable achievements as a player, a coach and a manager, and the club has truly lost one of its own.”
Swansea, where he spent three years, said: “He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but our club and the game of football as a whole has been all the better for his presence.
“He will always have a special place in the hearts of Swansea fans, and his place in the history of our club is not in doubt.”

Millwall – where he spent six years, winning the 2010 League One play-off final against Swindon Town, said: “Kenny Jackett will forever go down as one of Millwall Football Club’s greatest managers and a man who gave Lions fans moments to remember for life.”
Wolves said they were “deeply saddened to learn of the passing of iconic former manager Kenny Jackett”.
He spent three years at Molineux after they dropped into the third tier, winning promotion back to the Championship at his first attempt.
He then had spells in charge at Rotherham, Portsmouth and Leyton Orient before moving into senior technical and strategic roles, including the spell as director of football at Gillingham.

“He embodied everything we like to see in a manager, humility, professionalism and a deep care for his players and staff,” added Bevan.
“He improved every club he served and did so with quiet dignity throughout his career. From his first role at Watford to his final role at Gillingham, Kenny’s work was characterised by an incredible sense of responsibility to his teams and to the game itself.”
An application has been submitted for around 400 new homes and a rural travel hub in Papworth Everard, Cambridgeshire
David Prince and Cambridgeshire Live readers
10:00, 14 Jun 2026
Cambridgeshire Live readers have expressed firm opinions on proposals for 400 homes and a “travel hub“. Many questioned what the hub entails, and whether existing local amenities can accommodate the growth.
Approximately 400 homes, a local centre, and a travel hub could be built in a Cambridgeshire village if proposals go ahead. An application has been submitted requesting an environmental impact assessment for the potential development of land at Crows Nest Farm in Papworth Everard.

The application was lodged with South Cambridgeshire District Council on behalf of Mac Mic Strategic Land Limited, Christine Elizabeth Peck, and Sarah Lemond.
Papworth Everard is 10 miles west of Cambridge and six miles south of Huntingdon. While the proposed scheme could change, the application outlines roughly 400 residential homes, a local centre, and a rural travel hub, alongside highways and drainage infrastructure.
One of our readers, Wachoooo asks: “By the phrase ‘travel hub’ do they mean a bus stop with a bike rack?”
Bobbinbootsie says: “Yet more pressure on the NHS, schools, roads etc etc. Just keep building more houses, pile more people in to add to the congestion.”

On our Facebook page, Simon W asks: “Is a Rural Travel Hub what I think it is? Papworth Everard is about to get stuffed.”
Pauline G comments: “Will they not need water? Not enough now in this area?”
Geoffrey P questions: “Wasn’t there talk about a travel hub at Dry Drayton just up the road?”
Rosie A Rms comments: “The whole county is getting these boxes every time I drive to a place I have not been for a few months there are a load of new houses, on estates with silly names like willow woods, which of course have been cut down to build these little tacky boxes, which people will have to live in because that is all that seems to be on offer, they are built to make money for the investors in the companies and they don’t care about the region or their customers.”

Paul S says: “They should build in Burwell: there aren’t nearly enough properties there; it’s practically a ghost village.”
Helen B writes: “Unjustified and not needed housing on agricultural land. The council should focus on smaller developments on land that is already developed to provide truly affordable housing. We don’t have the skills, labour or resources to build the scale of development proposed.
“Our land and environment will be destroyed. We need it to feed ourselves and reduce imported food. Once this land is built on, we won’t be able to recover it. There are only so many people who can move out of London and the Home Counties. More people brings more burden on the NHS which drives the need for more people. House building is not production and economic growth in itself, but this government is using it as such.”

The so-called ‘pong’ seems to get worse after hot and/or wet weather
Darren Calpin, Local Democracy Reporter
12:00, 14 Jun 2026
City centre roads will close for efforts to identify and eliminate the ‘ Peterborough Pong’ this June. Bourges Boulevard is set to close for “no more than five days” from Tuesday, June 16, with works expected to take place overnight only between 8pm and 6am.
The southbound stretch of Bourges Boulevard will be closed between the Crescent Bridge roundabout and Rivergate. According to Anglian Water, the works being carried out are tankering and investigatory works to investigate the odour.

This odour – known locally as the ‘Peterborough Pong’ – has become a regular problem, lingering around Bourges Boulevard whenever there are prolonged spells of hot and/or wet weather.
It follows an announcement in April by Anglian Water to fit specialist smell-trapping covers to drains near the Park Inn on Bourges Boulevard.
An Anglian Water spokesperson said: “The nature of the work we do does mean there are smells from time to time, and hotter temperatures can make these more noticeable. Our team is carrying out investigations on our nearby sites and assets to find a solution for this odour. “
Motorists likely to be affected by the upcoming road closure are advised to use the following alternative routing: Thorpe Road, Nene Parkway, Oundle Road, London Road, Town Bridge, and Rivergate.
Glen Kelly whipped out his bagpipes on the tube home from a fan zone and said “there’s no better feeling than being Scottish”.
Scotland fans celebrate on London’s Victoria line
Scotland fans took over the London tube with bagpipes and dancing after the national team won their first World Cup match in over 30 years last night.
Jubilant scenes broke out on the Victoria Line in the early hours of Sunday morning after John McGinn took Scotland to the top of Group C with a stunning 1-0 victory over Haiti at Boston’s Gillette Stadium.
Celebrations were seen and felt across the country after Steve Clarke’s men secured their first World Cup win in 36 years – after a 28-year wait to return to the tournament – and it seems they weren’t just confined to Scotland.
A video being circulated on social media, and shared with the Record, shows revellers donning Scotland strips and kilts singing, dancing, and jumping up and down on the tube in Central London in delight after the win.
The newly christened “party line” was full of hilarity as Glen Kelly, 24, from Dundee, piped ‘Scotland the Brave’ while passengers jigged and clapped along on the moving train, much to the amusement of fellow commuters.
Speaking to the Record, Glen said: “I’d been playing at the Auld Hag Scottish fan zone. The atmosphere was bouncing, like a little Scotland. We then got the tube home and everyone was singing.
“I waited a few minutes and thought, ‘ah, go on then, I’ll give them a quick blast’. People didn’t realise I was the same person because I’d changed out my kilt so it was even more unexpected.
“I played Flower of Scotland, Caledonia and Auld Lang Syne before we all went our separate ways.
“There’s no better feeling than being Scottish.”

The heart-warming clip has seen people from all over flood the comment section to praise the Scots’ spirit.
One commented: “God, I wish I was Scottish,” while another proudly scribed: “Scotland forever”. A third went on: “Best fans in the world,” while a fourth renamed the Victoria Line the “Scottish party line”.
Another penned: “Unreal, glad you enjoyed. No Scotland no party,” while another said: “Love it,” and a last simply wrote: “Spectacular”.

Back home, the celebrations also continued into the wee hours, including on Great Western Road in Glasgow. Supporters poured out of pubs and houses to belt out Flower of Scotland at 4am, also led by a piper.
In a video shared online, supporters can be scene arm-in-arm belting out the national anthem. Some can be seen to stumble and stagger after enjoying a few drinks during the evening before.
The win over Haiti has Brazil and Morocco on red alert with both keenly aware there is now a three-way fight to emerge out of Group C. Scotland will next take on Morocco at the more reasonable hour of 11pm on Friday.

Investigators are now sifting through wreckage, to determine the cause of the disaster
A dozen people are believed to have died in a plane crash, American authorities have reported.

Officials say 11 skydivers and their pilot were killed after an aircraft crashed in Butler, Missouri in the USA on Sunday morning, sources tell FOX4.
According to a spokesperson with Bates County Emergency Management, at just before 11.30am, a private plane leaving the Butler Memorial Airport turned around for an unknown reason before crashing in the area of Business 49 Highway.
The source tells FOX4 that 11 of the 12 victims were skydivers.
The other victim was the pilot of the plane. All people on board have died, reports the Mirror.

Emergency crews and law enforcement with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are on the scene and searching the area to see if any skydivers jumped from the plane before the crash.
Local reports have said the investigation will last multiple days as crews work to determine what led up to the crash and clear the wreckage.

Currently, all lanes of Business 49 Highway are closed near the airport, the Bates County Sheriff’s Office said.
Both directions will be closed for an undetermined amount of time. Drivers are asked to use an alternative route.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol. posted on X: “Troopers are on scene assisting the Butler Police Department & Bates County Sheriff’s Office of a Fatal Plane Crash near the Butler Memorial Airport.
“At this time reports indicate all occupants (12 total) have perished. Updates to follow.”
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Palestinian death toll from the Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 73,000, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Sunday, as Israeli military operations continued despite a stalled and fragile ceasefire in place since October.
Israel says it is targeting Hamas and other militants who pose a threat, and in response to ceasefire violations, including occasional attacks.
Nearly 1,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the start of the ceasefire, according to the health ministry. Five Israeli soldiers have been killed since the truce.
The number of deaths since the beginning of the war is now 73,001, according to the health ministry’s tally. Over 173,200 people have been wounded since the start of the war on Oct. 7, 2023, following the Hamas-led attack into Israel. That attack killed some 1,200 people and took 251 others hostage.

The health ministry, part of the Hamas-led government, is staffed by medical professionals and maintains detailed records viewed as generally reliable by United Nations agencies and independent experts. It does not distinguish between civilians and militants but says women and children make up around half of all fatalities.
Israel says it tries to avoid harming civilians and blames their deaths on Hamas because the militants operate in densely populated areas.

Stalled ceasefire
The U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal reached in October ended full-scale military operations and led to the return of all the remaining hostages. But other elements of the deal have stalled as Hamas has refused to disarm and Israeli troops have advanced in Gaza, rather than withdrawn. Both sides accuse the other of violating the agreement but say it is still in effect.

Progress on all other issues — including reconstruction, Israeli troop withdrawals and the establishment of a new Palestinian government — is being held up by the deadlock over disarming Hamas, the top diplomat overseeing the U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, has said.
The war displaced most of the Palestinian population of over 2 million, left large parts of the territory in rubble and created widespread shortages of food, medicine and other basic supplies as the border crossings with Gaza — all but one controlled by Israel — slammed shut.
At least eight more Palestinians killed in the weekend
An Israeli strike on Sunday afternoon in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya refugee camp killed at least four people and wounded others, according to health officials at the Shifa hospital, where the casualties were taken. An Israeli military official, who spoke anonymously in line with military guidelines, said the military “struck terrorists” in the area, without elaborating.
A 13-year-old boy was among five Palestinians killed in Gaza on Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday, according to Palestinian health officials. In response to the Saturday night strike that killed two of the five, the Israeli military claimed that it was striking Hamas militants.
The works are part of a major redevelopment in the city centre
Darren Calpin, Local Democracy Reporter
18:00, 14 Jun 2026
Motorists have been warned of impending “major works” likely to cause significant traffic issues. Drivers heading into work in Peterborough recently will have seen signs on main roads warning that delays are expected.
The signage also confirms that the work is scheduled to begin on July 6 and last until summer 2027. The Queensgate roundabout is one of the busiest interchanges in the city.
Advertisement
The works are likely to cause significant disruption as much of the traffic using the roundabout and surrounding area is drawn to the car parks which serve both the railway station and Queensgate Shopping Centre.
The works are part of a £1.5 million overhaul which will see two of the roundabout’s three subways filled in and then replaced with a pedestrian crossing into Cowgate. This initiative – known as ‘City Link’ – will allow people and cyclists to make use of a realigned path on raised ground level to reach the city centre.
The transformation of the Queensgate roundabout is the first phase of the £65 million Station Quarter regeneration. It aims to turn Peterborough railway station into a double-sided gateway with a new western entrance, commercial space, and enhanced cycle and pedestrian links into the city centre.
The event was held at Atherton Carnival and included members of Greater Manchester Police’s Wigan and Leigh Neighbourhood Policing Team.
As well as letting children get a closer look at their police vehicle, the teams also tried out a new fingerprinting technique to give the visitors the chance to try out their methods for themselves.
A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: “Your local Neighbourhood Policing Team were out engaging with the community, enjoying the fantastic atmosphere and community spirit.

“We hope everyone who came to see us enjoyed a tour of our vehicle and we will ensure we are restocked with GMP stickers for the next community event.
“We have implemented a new engagement technique for children that involves the safe and supervised taking of fingerprints to increase interest and participation.
“The prints were put onto a contact card to take home as a memento.”
The Atherton Carnival also included a range of other activities for families and visitors of all ages and featured a funfair and parade.

Appearing at the carnival is one of several public engagement events held by police officers.

BUTLER, Mo. (AP) — A plane carrying passengers planning to spend a sunny afternoon skydiving crashed Sunday in Missouri, killing all 12 people aboard, authorities said.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said in a statement that troopers were on the scene, assisting the Butler Police Department & Bates County Sheriff’s Office. The crash occurred near the Butler Memorial Airport. The small town of Butler has a population of around 4,300 people and is roughly 65 miles (105 kilometers) south of Kansas City.
Missouri Highway Patrol Sgt. Justin Ewing said the plane was taking people up to skydive. Emergency responders got a call that a plane was down and engulfed in fire around 11:30 a.m. Sunday morning, he said.
Emergency responders were able to extinguish the fire shortly after the crash, Ewing said, calling the scene “brutal.”

“It landed in a field adjacent to the airport, but I think they’re shutting down the roadway just as a precaution,” Ewing said.
Teams from the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration were en route to the crash site Sunday afternoon to investigate, according to the Missouri State Patrol.
The private plane was operated by Skydive Kansas City, said Dennis Jacobs, the acting airport manager and Bates County Emergency Management Agency director.
“It had just taken off and made a left turn” before the crash, Jacobs said. “In my opinion I think it was losing power, and he was trying to make it over to the highway and land, and he stalled and went down nose first and caught fire.”
Advertisement
First responders have checked the area under the flight path and did not find anyone who might have tried to jump out before the crash, Jacobs said
The Pacific Aerospace 750XL that crashed is a single engine turboprop plane model that’s popular for skydiving but has also proven useful for other uses, including cargo, aerial surveying and medical evacuation flights. The aircraft can carry as many as 17 skydivers and is capable of taking off and landing on short runways. The plane that crashed Saturday was manufactured in 2010, according to FAA records.
The small airport serves around 30 aircraft, all privately owned, including crop dusting companies and sky dive operators, Ewing said.
