Mills, who broke the British indoor record by running 7:27.92 earlier this month, has now qualified for the European Indoor Championships.

His father and former England star Danny Mills was cheering him on from the stands.

On his stunning performance yesterday, George said: “I came here to do a job – that was to first of all qualify and put my name in the hat again for worlds and obviously, to win.

“When I go to races now in these championships, I’m going to win medals, so that’s what I’m aiming to do.

“I really give everything to this sport and I just want to be the best athlete I can.”

George competed at the Olympics Games in Paris last summer – with his race was overshadowed by controversy.

In a chaotic 5000m heat, the Team GB ace was one of four runners that fell over on the home straight.

It led to a confrontation after the finish line as George pushed France’s Hugo Hay and appeared to tell him to “f*** off.”

He then gave a fiery post-race interview and claimed he was “taken down”.

His dad was a no-nonsense defender who played for the likes of Leeds and Manchester City in the Premier League.

The now BBC pundit was capped 19 times by England and he featured in all five Three Lions games at the 2002 World Cup following an injury to Gary Neville.

His other son Stanley, 21, came through the ranks at Everton and now plays for Oxford United in the Championship.

A WOMAN who raked in £88,000 helping flood UK jails with zombie drug spice has been ordered to pay back just £1 after blowing the lot.

Abigail Kavanagh delivered the synthetic cannabis to jails across Wales while working as a “pivotal” member of an organised crime group.

The 25-year-old also collected cash for the drug empire and used secret messages to arrange the drop-offs.

Kavanagh was previously jailed for seven years and six months after she admitted trafficking controlled drugs.

Newport Crown Court heard the beautician benefited to the tune of £88,023 through her crimes.

But Kavanagh blew every single penny – meaning she has no available assets to pay back her ill-gotten gains.

As a result, the kingpin was ordered to shell out a nominal fee of just £1.

The court previously heard how Kavanagh disguised MDMA as bath salts in a bid to smuggle the Class A drug into Britain.

Border Force officials intercepted a package from Australia at East Midlands Airport where it was bound for Kavanagh’s home address.

The officers discovered 10kg of MDMA, which had a potential street value of £300,000.

Kavanagh was arrested under Operation Gemstone, which is run by the Regional Organised Crime Unit for South Wales.

Police found the secret messages on her phone that proved she was involved in arranging deliveries of Spice to prisons.

Detective Constable Rhys Richards, of Tarian, said: “Abigail Kavanagh was a pivotal member of an organised crime group.

“She was tasked with receiving Class A drugs with a potential street value of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

“She was also tasked with arranging deliveries of Spice to prisons and collecting cash for the group.

“Kavanagh has received a lengthy custodial sentence, which sends a clear message to those who choose to get involved in this type of criminality.

“Tarian will continue to work closely with partner agencies, including Border Force and the National Crime Agency, to use every resource within our power to bring these offenders to justice.”

JAMIE CARRAGHER was shut down by both Daniel Sturridge and Micah Richards after disregarding the Africa Cup of Nations as a major tournament.

The trio were covering Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Manchester City on Sky Sports when the topic of conversation turned to Mohamed Salah.

Debating whether or not he could win any individual awards – such as the Ballon d’Or – and become “the best in the world” this season, Carragher suggested there was one obstacle stopping him.

The ex-defender claimed that Salah would have to win a major tournament with Egypt in order to be in the running.

He said: “I think the problem (is) the fact he’s with Egypt, and he’s probably not playing in the major tournament as such, or maybe got a great chance of winning, I think it’s either the Champions League or the major tournament.

“Normally, the player who excels in that, like Vini Jr and (Kylian) Mbappe right now, Real Madrid looking really good going for the Champions League. 

“Liverpool will be in that conversation, but right now (Real Madrid) are certainly the front runner.”

Richards quickly chimed in to say: “Just saying, AFCON is a major tournament. Just so you know.”

But Carragher responded: “Egypt aren’t going to win the World Cup, are they?”

Richards reiterated his point, but the ex-Liverpool man appeared to disregard it before Sturridge joined in the conversation.

“It’s a fact. It’s a fact. If you win the Euros or the Copa America it’s deemed to be big so the AFCON is the same level,” the ex-striker said.

Carragher also received some backlash on social media, with one person writing: “The disrespect AFCON gets within pundits and even fans is disgusting. Equivalent of Euro/Copa America and these people are treating it like it’s the Carabao Cup. Nasty work from Jamie Carragher!”

Another commented: “It’s the scoff, for me, when he is corrected. It’s just awful.”

A third said: “I like the way both Daniel Sturridge & Micah Richards correct Carragher here. They don’t hesitate to provide him with the correct information.”
