    Press Contact: Alyssa Hall Harris Interactive, Inc. 212-539-9749 [email protected] Michael Jordan Tops List of Greatest Sports Stars of All Time Tiger Woods and Babe Ruth are number 2 and 3 on list New York, N.Y. — October 28, 2009 — The debates are legendary – who is the greatest baseball player of all time? Tiger versus Nicklaus? Well, when those adults who follow at least one sport are asked which two are the greatest sports stars of all time, basketball legend Michael Jordan comes in at number one followed by Tiger Woods at number two and the man who “built” a stadium, Babe Ruth comes in at number three. These are some of the results of The Harris Poll ® of 2,293 adults, of whom 1,494 follow at least one sport, surveyed online between October 5 and 12, 2009 by Harris Interactive ®. The man who called himself “the greatest”, boxer Mohammed Ali is number 4, while quarterback Brett Favre who has yet to stay retired is number five on the greatest sport star list. Next on the top ten are another quarterback, Joe Montana at number 6 and hockey legend, Wayne Gretzky at number 7. There is still another quarterback, Peyton Manning , tied for number 8 along with baseball’s Ted Williams. Finally, tied for number 10 are baseball’s Hank Aaron and basketball phenomenon LeBron James. This top ten list (actually 11 because of the tie for number 10) includes 3 baseball players, 3 football players and two basketball players.

  • Puskás Akadémia Fc – Paksi Fc Rovatcím Vezetőedzői Nyilatkozat Számvetés Csak a Végén
    A PUSKÁS AKADÉMIA FC MŰSORFÜZETE 31. FORDULÓ 2020 06.20. PUSKÁS AKADÉMIA FC – PAKSI FC ROVATCÍM VEZETŐEDZŐI NYILATKOZAT SZÁMVETÉS CSAK A VÉGÉN Vezetőedzőnk szerint a 2–1-es diósgyőri siker csak az első lépés volt a bronzére- mért folytatott versenyfutás hajrájában. Hornyák Zsolt a Paksi FC ellen is nagyon nehéz mérkőzést vár, amelyen ugyanolyan céltudatosan kell futballoznunk, ahogy azt Miskolcon tettük. – A debreceni találkozóhoz hasonlóan Diósgyőr- ben is hátrányba kerültünk az mérkőzés elején, de ezúttal nemcsak fordítani sikerült, hanem a vezetést is megtartottuk a végéig… – Tudtuk, hogy nagyon nehéz mérkőzés lesz, hi- szen a Diósgyőr közvetlenül mögöttünk volt a tabellán. Arra készültünk, hogy ellenfelünk stabil védekezésből gyors ellentámadásokat fog vezetni – ez történt a ha- zaiak vezető góljánál. Ott hibáztunk, a csapat azonban nem ijedt meg, példásan küzdött, a bekapott találat után végig domináltunk, nagyon sok gólhelyzetünk volt, mindent elmond a mérkőzésről, hogy Braniszlav Danilovics volt a hazaiak legjobb játékosa. Dinamiku- san futballoztunk, a lehetőségeink közül kettőt ki is használtunk. Nagyon akartuk a sikert, tudtuk, hogy egy győzelemmel felzárkózhatunk a Mezőkövesdhez – sze- rencsére ez sikerült is. – Nagy megkönnyebbülést jelentett a győzelem? – Kétségkívül pozitív érzés volt, de a teher azért még nem került le a vállunkról, hiszen sikerült ugyan győznünk, ám ezzel csak egy lépést tettünk a céljaink elérése felé. Örülünk a győzelemnek, de nem szállha- tunk el ettől, három nagyon kemény ellenfél vár ránk a Paks, a Kisvárda, illetve a Honvéd személyében, hiszen a bajnokság hajrájában mindenkinek van miért futbal- loznia. Így aztán számvetést csak akkor készíthetünk, ha ezeket a találkozókat lejátszottuk. Ha komolyan gondoljuk, hogy meg akarjuk szerezni a bronzérmet, minden mérkőzésen az utolsó pillanatig küzdenünk kell.

  • Sport and Identity Was, to a Great Extent, Influenced by My Personal Interests
    FAN IDENTITY AND IDENTIFICATION DRIVERS - STOKING THE FLAMES OF THE PHOENIX By Markus Rühl A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Management Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2010 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Fans are of highest importance for the financial success of sports clubs (van Leeuwen, Quick, & Daniel, 2002). However, the nature of fandom and the meaning that fans place upon their relationship with a sports club varies and different degrees of fandom exist (Wann & Branscombe, 1990). Whilst much research has been done on the assessment of fan identification, little work has contributed to its practical application. For example, for sport marketers to actively strengthen their fan base, more than a mere assessment of the identification level of their fans is necessary. It is suggested that knowledge about the underlying identification drivers of fans with different identification levels is needed to inform any managerial action. This research aims to enhance understanding about the relationship between the level of fan identification and the drivers of identification, and it does so, via a study of New Zealand‟s only professional football club Wellington Phoenix FC. A cross-sectional convenience sample of 517 Wellington Phoenix fans was surveyed using both online and researcher administered/respondent completed questionnaires. The Sports Spectator Identification Scale (Wann & Branscombe, 1993) was used to measure fan identification, and participants were categorized into five identification levels. Findings show that ten of 16 identification drivers are correlated with the identification level. Of particular interest are findings that indicate a mediating impact of the identification level on specific relationships.

  • Puskás, the World Brand: Celebrity Endorsements, Brand Expansions and Other Curious Phenomena
    II Nemzetközi Turizmus és Sportmenedzsment Konferencia 2012. szeptember 5-6, Debrecen PUSKÁS, THE WORLD BRAND: CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS, BRAND EXPANSIONS AND OTHER CURIOUS PHENOMENA PAPP-VÁRY, ÁRPÁD1 – REKETTYE, GÁBOR1 1Budapest College of Communication and Business Email: [email protected]; [email protected] According to various surveys, „Puskás” is the most well-known Hungarian word. This „brand” is not just known around the world, but respected and loved. Puskás became a world star in a time when there was no Internet and television had just started gaining popularity. But why did he become so great, not only as a player but as a brand too? The article looks for the marketing aspects of this brilliant story. It covers his celebrity endorsements/sponsors, and the products/brands which used or use his (brand) name. The possible future of the Puskás brand is also discussed. Keywords: Ferenc Puskás, football, personal branding, celebrity endorsement, merchandising 1. Introduction: the greatest Hungarian football player Ferenc Puskás (1927-2006), without a doubt is the greatest Hungarian football player of all times. Even though it was not him, who wore the Hungarian national shirt the most times, having scored 84 times in 85 matches is still an outstanding performance. This is especially true since he did not return after the 1956 revolution, thus only played a little more than ten years for the national team (and appeared four times in the Spanish national team). His most memorable move is probably the “drag-back” goal against England, when Hungary won for 6:3. It is not a coincidence that in 2009 FIFA established the Puskás award for the most beautiful goal.

I would need another 10 documents this size to even begin to communicate what it is that makes you two so extraordinary. Sitting here now, writing this, I think how silly it is I’m even bothering, because it is truly impossible to tell you what inner tranquility you have given to me since I was old enough to understand what it is to be loved.
