Lynard Stewart is truly one of the legends of the British Game. Having won just about everything he gave an exclusive interview to mikeshaft.com. This was the first time that he hinted that he might be coming to the end of a glorious playing career.

Today I met a remarkable young woman, The Manchester Mystics’ Georgia Jones. She not only plays with passion and commitment, but she does so in the face of great adversity. Georgia, 17, is one of 250,000 people in the UK who suffer from type 1 diabetes.

Over the past years I have had the great pleasure of interviewing a number of celebrities. These have included politicians, sports people, musicians and comedians. In this section of mikeshaft.com, I will try to remember some of these people and give you a short resume of my interview with them. Please note these are done in no particular order.

This story all began some years earlier when I received a new 12 inch single by a group called BLUEZONE which featured a young singer called Lisa STANSFIELD. It was a fantastic dance track and one which I featured heavily on my Piccadilly Radio Soul Show, 'TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS'.
