Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy is the Premier League's sprint king - at the age of 32 It is thought Bellamy recorded more than 840 metres of sprints in the match. To put that in perspective, the Premier League average had been 324m while Tottenham's Gareth Bale, in the famous "taxi for Maicon" Champions League match in 2010 at home to Inter Milan achieved a remarkable 719m. A sprint is, usually, classed as a run made at quicker than seven metres per second, equivalent to running 100 metres in a sharp 14 seconds. Such has been Bellamy's impact this season at Liverpool that it is understood he is on course to record the highest number of sprints by a player for a Premier League season, outpacing the likes of the rapid Bale and Theo Walcott, the Premier League's quickest player. Liverpool regard Bellamy's signing from City as perhaps the transfer coup of the season and it may well be. What is undeniable, however, is the hard work the player has put in to prolong a career which appeared in jeopardy of ending in frustration and injury at West Ham and Manchester City. Now Bellamy has embraced all the ways of modern sports medical science, to which more and more clubs are cottoning on. He is a devotee of the "periodisation" approach, with work being individually tailored to each player, and has previously employed the Dutch fitness coach Raymond Verheijen, whom he first met at City. Bellamy also has a state-of-the-art altitude chamber installed in his bedroom at home to aid post-match recovery, he employs a personal chef to make his meals and he has worked closely with Steve Peters, the sports psychologist, who is best-known for his links with British cycling and Mark Cavendish in particular. Bellamy even shocked his former City team-mate Nigel de Jong when the Dutch midfielder went into the Liverpool dressing room after that Carling Cup tie only to see the striker merrily sitting in an ice-bath celebrating. Not that he can play every game. His career has to be carefully managed. But, as he has shown, he can make an impact. Canadian heading for the Premier League? Who is Mitchell Goldhar? The Canadian is a thin, bespectacled billionaire who is best known as a retail developer, the man behind the construction of numerous shopping centres which usually feature Wal-Mart as an anchor tenant. He also owns the Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv, who earlier this season faced Stoke City in the Europa League. But does Goldhar have ambitions to face British clubs more regularly? Rumours abound that he is considering taking the plunge and getting involved in owning a club in this country. Meetings may well have taken place this week over what Goldhar's intentions are after he flew back into Israel for a few days from his base in Toronto. That was, ostensibly, to sort out the appointment of a new sporting director at Maccabi, Israel's most successful club, but it is thought Goldhar may have also met the representatives of at least one English club looking for a wealthy new owner who, given the current financial climate, are increasingly hard to find. Naturally the identity of the club, if the suggestions are true, is being closely-guarded. Gone but not forgotten Fabio Capello wasn't at England's friendly defeat to Holland at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday evening although there was a certain surreal element to proceedings given the manner in which the Italian left his post. Indeed, his name wasn't totally expunged following his decision to quit last month over the way in which John Terry had the captaincy taken away from him. It is perhaps an oversight, or simply because a permanent successor has not been named yet, but Capello's name is still there on the door of the manager's office inside the stadium. No one has seen fit to unscrew the name plaque.
