Actually, had it been left to me, it would have been my first Almost Yesterday’s Man piece but, as luck would have it, wiser counsels prevailed. The wisest of the lot was Colin Bradford, then Editor of The Terrier, who was insistent that I should write under the name of the Suffolk Scribbler and who wrote the following introduction to my inaugural piece: The Editor is delighted to be able to introduce to Terrier readers a humble, yet outstandingly adequate, successor to our much loved erstwhile columnist, Yesterday’s Man. This is the first of what we hope will be a popular and long-running column by the Suffolk Scribbler. New readers will need to know that “Yesterday’s Man” was in fact Richard Miller, formerly the Norfolk County Estates supremo. In 2002 he had decided to give up writing his column “after 35 years of hard work.” Colin’s introduction was quite far-sighted in predicting a “long-running column” as we are already at 15years and still counting. And I think we can already begin to make some judgements about popularity. In contrast to Yesterday’s Man, where according to the YM writer not a single member of ACES ever mentioned Suffolk Scribblers in a commemorative the column to him so he was never really booklet was proposed jointly by William sure that anyone actually read it. Every Marshall, a humble nobody from Suffolk, time I go to a national conference or and the current Editor of The Terrier, similar function someone will take the Betty Albon. ACES Eastern Branch has opportunity to seek me out and then tell provided generous funding to help pay for me that they always check out the back a professionally produced PDF document pages of The Terrier first. with the intention of then forwarding a copy of this to every member. And it was this point that first gave birth to the concept of publishing all the Suffolk I did hear it said that when it was known Scribbler pieces under one cover. With that I was going to write a regular, the true enthusiast taking an early look at somewhat light-hearted column, some the whole column it could be argued that ACES members laughed. Well, they’re not individual items within the piece could, laughing now! potentially, be overlooked. Consequently, after the publication of 60 pieces, totalling over 105,000 words, the project to combine all published 3 THE SCRIBBLER THE SUFFOLK SCRIBBLER VOLUME 7, ISSUE 1, SPRING 2002 The Editor [Colin Bradford] is delighted So where is this column going?

  • Hugh Mcilvanney: Sportswriter Who Went Beyond the Game to Seek a Higher Truth of the Human Condition
    28/01/2019 Hugh McIlvanney: sportswriter who went beyond the game to seek a higher truth of the human condition Academic rigour, journalistic flair Hugh McIlvanney: sportswriter who went beyond the game to seek a higher truth of the human condition January 25, 2019 4.22pm GMT Author Richard Haynes Professor of Media Sport, University of Stirling Britain’s greatest sportswriter at the Football Writers’ Association tribute night in 2018. John Walton/PA Wire/PA Images Among all the tributes to the celebrated sports journalist Hugh McIlvanney, who has died aged 84, you will find one recurring theme: that in his work, the Scots-born reporter, writer and broadcaster transcended his genre. Greater by far than his renowned and extensive contact book, his insights based on a decades-long love of sport or his ability to get close to the sporting greats, was his ability – when writing about one sport or another – to impart some greater truth about the human condition. In 1991, McIlvanney attempted to reflect on the role of the sports journalist in the documentary Sportswriter as part of the BBC’s Arena series. His opening narrative revealed some inner conflicts he himself felt on the role of the “fan with a typewriter”, a moniker often thrown at a very insular job. He said: After more than 30 years of writing on sport it is still possible to be assailed by doubts about whether it really is a proper job for a grown person. But I console myself with the thought that it is easier to find a kind of truth in sport than it is, for example, in the activities covered by political or economic journalists.

  • Pegasus Bridge
    Pegasus Bridge 6 June, 1944 by Stephen E. Ambrose Introduction This book is the result of some 24 interviews, conducted between September and December, 1983, in Canada, England, France and Germany. At that time I had just completed some twenty years of work on Dwight Eisenhower, during which period I examined something over two million documents. In my next book I wanted to work from an entirely different kind of source material. I have always been impressed by the work of the American military writer S. L. A. Marshall, especially by his use of post-combat interviews to determine what actually happened on the battlefield. My thought was, Why not do a post-combat interview forty years after the event? Even taking into account all the tricks that memory plays, I felt that for many of the participants, D-Day was the great day of their lives, stamped forever in their memories. I knew that was the case with Eisenhower, who went on to two full terms as President, but who always looked back on D-Day as his greatest day, and could remember the most surprising details. I also wanted to come down from the dizzying heights of the Supreme Commander and the President to the company level, where the action is. Further, I wanted a company that was unusual and that played a crucial role, Pegasus Bridge was an obvious choice. So I set out. My recorded interviews with John Howard took twenty hours, spread over a period of some weeks. I got almost ten hours of tape from Jim Wallwork.

The tournament had seen fleeting glimpses of Egypt and Morocco previously, but there was generally a greater familiarity with teams from the north of the continent due to its proximity to Europe, and the fact several players from the region had already migrated to European clubs. Zaire, on the other hand, was far further south than many in the global north would have even been aware of, let alone travelled to, and was certainly an unknown entity as far as football was concerned. However, it isn’t as though they had simply wandered in off the street to compete at the World Cup.

  • 703 Prelims.P65
    Football in France Global Sport Cultures Eds Gary Armstrong, Brunel University, Richard Giulianotti, University of Aberdeen, and David Andrews, The University of Maryland From the Olympics and the World Cup to extreme sports and kabaddi, the social significance of sport at both global and local levels has become increasingly clear in recent years. The contested nature of identity is widely addressed in the social sciences, but sport as a particularly revealing site of such contestation, in both industrialising and post-industrial nations, has been less fruitfully explored. Further, sport and sporting corporations are increasingly powerful players in the world economy. Sport is now central to the social and technological development of mass media, notably in telecommunications and digital television. It is also a crucial medium through which specific populations and political elites communicate and interact with each other on a global stage. Berg publishers are pleased to announce a new book series that will examine and evaluate the role of sport in the contemporary world. Truly global in scope, the series seeks to adopt a grounded, constructively critical stance towards prior work within sport studies and to answer such questions as: • How are sports experienced and practised at the everyday level within local settings? • How do specific cultures construct and negotiate forms of social stratification (such as gender, class, ethnicity) within sporting contexts? • What is the impact of mediation and corporate globalisation upon local sports cultures? Determinedly interdisciplinary, the series will nevertheless privilege anthropological, historical and sociological approaches, but will consider submissions from cultural studies, economics, geography, human kinetics, international relations, law, philosophy and political science.
