The Sun newspaper leads it’s sporting content with a touching tribute to legendary Grand National trainer Ginger McCain.

GINGER McCAIN died yesterday … and with him went a part of the Grand National. For as Mick Fitzgerald, who won Aintree’s great race on Rough Quest in 1996, said: “He was the National.” Liverpool’s loveable former taxi driver won the National FOUR times — three with Red Rum (1973, 1974 and 1977) and again with Amberleigh House in 2004. He was Mr Grand National — as much a part of Liverpool legend as The Beatles, Bill Shankly’s Kop kings, and comedians Ken Dodd and Jimmy Tarbuck. His story was real rags-to-riches stuff.
