  • Brian Clough and Peter Taylor
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Brian Clough and Peter Taylor Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. Two names that will always be associated with Derby County. They met as young players – Brian a centre-forward and Peter a goalkeeper – at Middlesbrough FC, where they played together for six years. With a shared passion for the beautiful game they formed a friendship that would take them to the very top of English and European football. They first joined forces as managers at Hartlepool United but it was at Derby County where the dynamic duo, as they were known, had their first taste of the big time. Many of Derby's greatest names were signed in the Clough-Taylor era: Roy McFarland, John O'Hare, Alan Hinton, John McGovern, Willie Carlin, Dave Mackay, Colin Todd and Archie Gemmill to name a few. The two managers and their magnificent team took the Rams to the very top, winning the Division One Championship in 1972 and reaching the European Cup semi-finals. The pair controversially resigned early in the 1973-74 season and the partnership broke up briefly, only be reunited at Nottingham Forest in 1976 where they won many accolades, including two European Cups. But it was at Derby County where the partnership first flourished and Taylor’s daughter, Wendy Dickinson, in a biography of her father, said: “When dad and Brian arrived at the Baseball Ground in May, 1967 it was as if Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had ridden into town, all guns blazing. These two bright young upstarts were a breath of fresh air at a club that was stuck in the past.” She said her dad was “passionate” about managing Derby and added: “My mum remembers driving down to Derby for the first time and dad said, ‘I wonder what the supporters are like?’ He later said he thought they were the best in the country.” The success of that Derby County team affected everyone in the town and amazing results week after week sent people to work on a Monday morning with a spring in their step.

  • 50 Word Flash Fiction Writing Competition Espresso (Discovery
    50 Word Flash Fiction Writing Competition Derby Book Festival launched its 50 word Flash Fiction Writing Competition on Monday 30th March. This year’s theme is ‘Home’. We hope it might be a way to encourage writing - having a limit on words can help the least enthusiastic child and the theme of home is something they're even more familiar with at the moment! There are three age categories: 11 years and under 12 – 17 years 18 years and over. There will be one winner in each category and each will win a £50 book token. Derby Book Festival’s Flash Fiction Competition is for a story of up to 50 words on the subject of ‘Home’. All entries must be made online using the form on the Festival website: https://www.derbybookfestival.co.uk/flash-fiction The winning stories will be illustrated and then printed as a set of bookmarks to be distributed across Derby and Derbyshire to promote the Festival. The theme last year was ‘Our World’. Here’s the winning story from the under 11s category, which was won by Nana from St Joseph’s RC Primary School: Story title: Deep Down Under Story: Silversweep darted through the water at the tail of her pod. She hadn’t eaten but was still optimistic, expertly hunting for prey. In the corner of her eye, she spotted a stray fish. Darting towards it, Silversweep snapped, swallowing the rubbery meat. It tasted wrong. She realised too late; plastic. The closing date for the competition is Tuesday 2nd June at 10pm (with judging planned to take place in July).

Live sports commentating: a comparative study of cricket, football, horse racing and tennis commentaries. 2019, University of Zurich, Faculty of Arts. Live Sports Commentating: A Comparative Study of Cricket, Football, Horse Racing and Tennis Commentaries Thesis presented to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the University of Zurich for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by lic. phil. Aleksandar Popov Accepted in the spring semester 2019 on the recommendation of Prof. em. Dr. Udo Fries and Prof. Dr. Daniel Schreier Zurich, 2019 Abstract The aim of this doctoral thesis is to investigate the linguistic features of spoken English sports commentating. Sports commentary is a combination of narration and entertainment, and an easily recognisable form of communicating information to a mass audience. By examining a corpus of 160,000 words transcribed from live cricket, football, horse racing and tennis commentaries broadcast on UK television and radio, a quantitative and qualitative study is carried out for the purpose of determining the effects of three factors on the language produced by sports commentators: the nature of the sport, the nature of the broadcast medium and developments over time, defined by the interval between two sets of recordings (1996–2002 and 2013–2015).
