SOME of the greatest names in North-East sport took on members of the public in a charity golf event yesterday.

Footballing stars Kevin Phillips, Peter Beardsley and Niall Quinn were among the players at the NSPCC Charity Golf Day, at Slaley Hall, near Consett, County Durham.

The event was organised by Tyneside circuit board manufacturers Viasystems, which will match the money raised for the NSPCC Full Stop Campaign.

Prizes on offer included a signed pair of Alan Shearer's football boots, a signed football from the England versus Spain match and a VW Golf donated by Pulman Volkswagen
