Wife begged husband 'don't let me die' after crash
A woman fatally injured by a careless driver begged her husband "please don't let me die" while laying injured in the wreckage of a crash, a court has heard. Christine Jones, 68, was a minute away from her home in Thornton Hough, Wirral when the vehicle she was a passenger in was struck by a Peugeot 3008 car driven by 62-year-old Ian Ashworth. She had been visiting her mother in hospital before the collision at 21:05 BST on 14 August 2023. Ashworth, of New Heyes in Neston, was given a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, after admitting causing death and serious injury by careless driving at Liverpool Crown Court. Her mother's partner Bryn Jones, 81, who had been driving Ms Jones home from the hospital, was also severely injured in the collision Mrs Jones' husband of 50 years, Alan Jones, rushed to the scene on Thornton Common Road after his wife managed to her phone out of her bag and call him despite her injuries, the court heard. In a statement read at Ashworth's sentencing hearing, Mr Jones said: "I kissed her, promising her she would be ok. She said she was in so much pain. "She said, 'please don't let me die'. I remained with her kissing her face and holding hands." Mrs Jones, a great-grandmother, died in hospital from her injuries three days later. Her husband told the court they had met on a school bus when she was 13 and had been saving money for their 50th wedding anniversary celebrations, due two months after the crash. But he said the money had to be used for her funeral instead. "I visit her grave everyday as I don't want her to be alone", he said. "She was so afraid that evening and even managed to get her phone out of her bag to call me, desperate to see me. "How she managed to do that with those injuries she sustained I'll never know." Ashworth a former Royal Navy engineer, had been driving his Ford Fiesta and crossed into the oncoming carriageway near the Seven Stars pub. Eric Lamb, prosecuting, said neither driver had any recollection of the collision but a forensic expert concluded Ashworth's car "must have intruded into the south west lane". There was "no evidence of loss of control", said Mr Lamb. Ashworth suffered a ruptured spleen, which was removed, and fractured vertebrae and ribs. When interviewed by police, he expressed remorse and asked for his apologies to be passed on. Bryn Jones suffered fractures to his upper arm, collar bone, ribs and extensive bruising and was in hospital for more than two weeks. Darren Finnegan, defending, said that Ashworth must have experienced "a momentary lapse of concentration". Mr Finnegan said his client was in hospital for 17 days and now walks with a stick. "He has been described as a shadow of his former self," he said. Judge Robert Trevor-Jones said: "This is a truly tragic case. A life has been lost and another gravely affected." He said there was no suggestion that speed was a factor when Ashworth's car crossed into the oncoming lane. Ashworth was also ordered to complete 10 days of rehabilitation activities and banned him from driving for two years, with a requirement to take an extended re-test before getting back behind the wheel.

Dan Ashworth Returns to FA as First-Ever Chief Football Officer
TDT | Manama Dan Ashworth has been appointed as the Football Association's first-ever Chief Football Officer, marking a significant structural shift within English football's governing body as it looks to strengthen its performance pathways ahead of Euro 2028. The 54-year-old will be responsible for strategic oversight across both the England men's and women's national teams, placing him at the heart of future planning and development at the highest level. Ashworth's new role will also see him spearhead the upcoming regeneration of St. George's Park, England's national football centre, which is set for a major revamp of its elite training facilities and pitches. The overhaul comes as England prepares to co-host the 2028 UEFA European Championship. A familiar face at the FA, Ashworth previously served as Director of Elite Development and then as Technical Director from 2013 to 2019. Since then, he has held senior roles at West Bromwich Albion, Brighton & Hove Albion, Newcastle United, and most recently, Manchester United — where he departed in December after a brief spell as sporting director. His return signals a renewed focus on long-term performance planning, as England targets success both on and off the pitch in the years to come.

FA appoint former Man Utd sporting director Dan Ashworth as chief football officer - World
Former Manchester United sporting director Dan Ashworth has returned to the Football Association (FA) after being appointed as chief football officer following his ill-fated stint at Old Trafford. The 54-year-old served as the governing body's director of elite development and then as technical director between 2013-2019 before taking up positions at Brighton and Newcastle ahead of a five-month stay at Old Trafford, which ended in December. His appointment at United was seen as a major coup among sweeping changes to the Red Devils' sporting structure under minority owner Jim Ratcliffe. Ashworth had been expected to spearhead an overhaul of United's underachieving team, alongside manager Ruben Amorim, who was appointed in November, but he left the club the following month. After Ashworth's departure from United, Ratcliffe described both his appointment in July 2024 and the retention of then manager Erik ten Hag as "errors". In his newly created role, Ashworth will take oversight of the England men's and women's teams. FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said: "Dan is a hugely influential and respected figure in the game, who has a longstanding commitment to England Football. "We are very happy to welcome him back in this new role." Ashworth was previously credited for implementing a structure at the FA that helped turn around the fortunes of England's men's team.

Dan Ashworth returns to Football Association as chief football officer
The 54-year-old served as the governing body's director of elite development between 2013 and 2018 before taking positions at Brighton and Newcastle ahead of an ill-fated five-month stay at Old Trafford which ended in December. The newly-created role will see Ashworth take oversight of the England men's and women's teams. Dan Ashworth has been appointed as our first chief football officer to lead the high-performance strategy and new-look St. George's Park. — The FA (@FA) May 14, 2025 FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said: 'Dan is a hugely influential and respected figure in the game, who has a long-standing commitment to England Football. 'We are very happy to welcome him back in this new role.' After Ashworth's departure from Manchester United – his recruitment and untimely exit cost the club £4.1million – co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe described both his appointment in July 2024 and the retention of then manager Erik ten Hag as 'errors'. The former Norwich Academy player cut his teeth as a sports administrator at Peterborough and Cambridge before making his name as a shrewd operator as West Brom's sporting and technical director. His work with the FA, where he was credited as one of the driving forces behind the England men's team reaching the semi-finals at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, raised his profile significantly, and the part he played in Brighton's rise as their technical director prompted Newcastle's new Saudi-backed owners to make him their sporting director in 2022. United fought hard to lure him across the Pennines and eventually got their man, only to dispense with his services summarily amid the club's ongoing problems on the pitch and Ratcliffe's restructuring work off it. In his new position back at the FA, he will work closely with men's technical director John McDermott and Kay Cossington's successor in the women's role. He will also oversee the development of St. George's Park.
