    CLUB LEGENDS TURNED MANAGERS After Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was appointed as Manchester United manager on a permanent basis, we take a look at how other club legends have fared when sat in the managerial hot-seat. 1 K E N N Y D A L G L I S H ( 1 9 8 5 - 1 9 9 1 , 2 0 1 1 - 2 0 1 2 ) L I V E R P O O L Having already endured a successful eight years as a player at Anfield, Dalglish took over from Joe Fagan where he combined his playing career with managerial duties. In his time in charge he won nine trophies, including the league and cup double in the first season. Following a poor run of form with Roy Hogdson, Dalglish returned as manager in January 2011, but this spell was much less successful than the previous, with the only success being in the League Cup. Win ratio: 60.9%, 47.3% 2 J O E R O Y L E ( 1 9 9 4 - 1 9 9 7 ) E V E R T O N Royle, who scored over 100 goals while playing up front for the Toffee's in the 60's and 70's, became manager of the Goodison Park club 20 years after he left them as a player. Despite only being in charge for three years, he led the club to FA Cup glory which is coincidentally their most recent trophy. Win ratio: 39.83% 3 B R Y A N G U N N ( 2 0 0 9 ) N O R W I C H Gunn, who endured over a decade as a goalkeeper for the East Anglian side, was tasked with trying to save Norwich from relegation to League One.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} On the Trail of William Wallace by David R. Ross On the Trail of William Wallace by David R. Ross. David R Ross 1958 - 2010. David R Ross Memorial Fund. 'All men die, . .not all men really live'. Davie did. He truly lived his life. He was a big man with a big heart, he was kind and giving. In living his life the way he did he touched and inspired many people, bringing a sense of himself into their lives. Through Davie just being, an abundance of friendships and alliances have been formed – one of his many legacies. He loved his country with all his heart and soul, his passion was the very fabric of who he was, therefore, the 'David R. Ross Memorial Fund' has been set up to aid in the conclusion of some the work Davie was involved in prior to his death. Davie achieved many things in his life, however, he felt that the 23rd of August 2005 was the most important day of his life in relation to his work for his culture and his country. That was the day, that after 700 years, Wallace finally had his funeral service ‘with a coffin there to symbolically capture his spirit’. Wallace’ spirit and coffin’ containing many personal messages left by his countrymen’ was brought home. We stopped at Gretna, taking the coffin to the top of the banking before opening it to allow Wallace’ spirit to look across the Solway to where Longshanks died. Davie’s aspiration was that the coffin would eventually come to rest in St Kentigerns in Lanark where it would be on display under glass as part of the Wallace trail.

  • Fired-Up Mourinho Renews Battle with Conte's Chelsea
    Sports FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 2017 Northern giants clash with EPL return in sight MANCHESTER: It will be a Premier League game in all but name when Newcastle United face Leeds United at St James’ Park today, with two of the traditional powers of northern English football seeking a return to the top flight. Newcastle, relegated from the Premier League last season, are second in the Championship and well placed for an immediate return, while Leeds, in fifth place, will look to get through the play-offs and end their 13 years in the lower divisions. The two clubs have histories that make them known well beyond their pas- sionate local support bases. Both are both former champions of England, with Leeds having won the last title before the creation of the Premier League in 1992. They have both won European trophies - Leeds twice capturing the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the forerunner MANCHESTER: Manchester United’s Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho (left) walks away as his players of today’s Europa League, while Newcastle won the same com- take part in a team training session at their Carrington base in Manchester, north west England. —AFP petition in 1969.

The financial troubles which caused the team’s relegation battle with Conte’s Chelsea from the top flight in 2004 were also to blame for a slump into the third tier (League One) for three seasons, until they returned to the Championship in 2007.

  • King-Kenny-Book-En.Pdf
    Kenny Dalglish is one of football’s all-time greats, hailed as ‘The King’ by football fans around the world in recognition of his huge contribution to Liverpool Football Club, as a player and then manager. ‘King Kenny’ tells the story of this football legend, capturing valuable lessons from his inspiring journey in football and life. Kenny shows that being a true leader is all about paving the way for others. As proud Main Club Sponsor of Liverpool FC, Standard Chartered has created ‘King Kenny’ to celebrate legacy - the one that Kenny continues to create, and the ones the Bank strives to help its clients leave behind for generations to come. “To me, what it really meant to be King, was to quietly and always do the right thing” Kenny Dalglish Kenny Written by: Gavin McCormack Illustrated by: Evan Raditya Pratomo © Copyright Kenny Dalglish (2018) Grab a cup of tea and a moment’s peace while I tell you a story about Kenny Dalglish. Born in Scotland in ’51, his journey to greatness had barely begun. 1 His passion for football started in nets but he hadn’t realised his true talent yet. He took off his gloves and moved up the field. From that moment on, his future was sealed. 2 With his dad by his side and the ball at his feet, they played in the garden and outside on the street. Bill was his hero, his mentor, his guide, he’d watch over Kenny, his eyes filled with pride. 3 At Ibrox Stadium, no matter the weather, they supported Rangers and watched them together.
