  • Impact Case Study (Ref3b) Institution: University of Central Lancashire
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: University of Central Lancashire Unit of Assessment: 26 - Sport and Exercise Sciences, Leisure and Tourism Title of case study: Sport, „Visual Culture‟ and Museums 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) Research undertaken by Hughson has impacted on the decision-making of two museums, principally the National Football Museum (NFM) in England and the National Sports Museum (NSM) in Australia. In the NFM, research has informed the acquisition and display of items for the permanent collection and temporary exhibition, led to an appointment as historical advisor to the selection committee of the National Football Hall of Fame, and has also supported the NFM‟s successful bid for „Designation‟ status with the Arts Council. With regard to the NSM the research has informed the public education dimension of a major exhibition on Olympic posters. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) Hughson‟s published research on the cultural history of sport, the relationship between sport, art and design, and on the relationship between sport and cultural policy and the implications for museums underpins the impact being claimed within this case study. Five published peer reviewed works contain this research; the bibliographical details are set out in section 3 of this document. The first three of the listed items are included within Hughson‟s four published items returned with REF 2014. Hughson‟s research expertise on sport within art was established in the monograph The Making of Sporting Cultures. In various chapters of the book, the representation of sportive movement and symbolism from the ancient to the modern – Myron‟s Discobolus to Dali‟s Cosmic Athlete – is discussed.

  • The Football Association Challenge the Cup Final
    The Football Association Challenge The Cup Final Cup Final Facts • The match is widely known as just the Cup Final. • It is the last match in the Football Association (FA) Challenge Cup. • It has about 86 000 spectators and millions of TV viewers. • The trophy (winner’s cup) is only on loan to the winning side. • It is the oldest cup competition in the world, first played in the 1871 - 72 season. Who Can Enter? The Challenge Cup competition is open to any club in the top ten levels of the English Football League. Once clubs have registered to play, the tournament is organised into 12 randomly drawn rounds, followed by the semi-finals and finals. The higher ranked teams join the competition in later rounds when some of the lower ranked teams have been knocked out. What Do the Winners Receive? The winners of the final match receive the Football Association Cup, the FA Cup. It comes in three parts; the base, the cup and a lid. Over the years, there have been two designs of trophy and five cups have been made. The first cup, known as the ‘little tin idol’, was stolen in 1895 and never returned. An exact replica was made and used until 1910. From 1911, a new design was made. In 1992, another copy was made as the cup was wearing out from being handled, and another replacement was made in 2014. The cup is presented at the end of the match, giving the engraver just five minutes to engrave the winning team on the silver band on the base.
