SIR - Thank you for your coverage of the news that Leeds Metropolitan University has been shortlisted for the Times Higher Education Awards in the Outstanding Contribution to the Local Community' category (T&A October 4) .

One important correction is required. While I have had and indeed continue to have an involvement in the work of excellent Positive Lifestyle Centre (PLC) based at Bradford City, it would be wrong to claim credit for the creation of that particular initiative.

The real credit for the transfer of the PLC to the club must go to Jim Brown who, at a time when the club was still in administration, recognised not only the importance to the club of opening its doors to the community but also the contribution the PLC would make to the lives of the thousands of children who would attend its classroom at Valley Parade.
