In the Great War Mick O’Brien served on HMS Chester in the Battle of Jutland, as well as in the Royal Flying Corps.

Birth & death certificates obtained by Mark Chapman – born 51 Clarke’s Row, Usher Moor, to parents James & Mary; died in Uxbridge 12 Sep 1940. Probate: nothing. Not in 1939 Register – he didn’t return to England from the Rep of Ireland until March 1940. Played only 6 games for Brooklyn Wanderers before returning to England. Said to have spent a short time with Celtic early in 1914, but there’s nothing in SFA archives. Might there have been confusion with Walker Celtic, for whom he did play in 1912/13? Played for Fbl Lge v Army 10/11/1921 (see AFS Report 27, page 12). Captain of Rep of Ireland v Netherlands 8/5/1932. 6 ft 2 ins / 6 ft 1 ins / 6 ft. 12 st 10 lbs / 13 st 7 lbs.

He once scored six goals as an inside-forward in a reserve-team fixture for Watford against Queens Park Rangers (result 9-1), but later settled down at right-back, and barely missed a first-team game in the last four peacetime seasons, as well as becoming club captain. In 1931 he played in a ‘Junior’ international against Scotland for a side representing England, although these fixtures were actually undertaken by a Birmingham FA XI. Managing somehow to avoid an identity crisis, as a young boy he was known to friends and neighbours as Bob, became Vic in his youth, and was also later known as Mick. Told me he was originally known to friends & neighbours as “Bob”, became “Vic” in his youth, and was later also call “Mick” (and is referred to thus in the 1937/38 Handbook). Birth & death indexes OK, probate nothing. Club captain 1937/38 & 1938/39. For details of 1943/44 apps, see Soccer History 29, page 22 (Dunfermline 2nd Series). For details of 1944/45 apps for Hibernian, see Soccer History 30, p 16. Listed at £1,000 cs 1946, but FL reduced it to £500, and he was eventually released. Signed for Worcester City at the end of the war, but Watford objected and the signing was cancelled, but Watford subsequently released him and he joined newly- formed Bedworth Town. Scored 6 for Reserves v QPR 30/3/1935 (9-1). Represented Birmingham FA v Scotland in a ‘Junior’ international in 1931 - his nephew, when advising me of Vic’s death, mentioned the cap which he received for this app. Guested for Hibernian 1942/43 (5 apps) – see Soccer History 27, page 25. Lived at 54 Goodwood Avenue whilst with Watford. Shortly after outbreak of war he returned to Coventry, where he spent the war involved in aircraft manufacture. Worked for Standard Motor Co until retirement age. Lived at 35 Prince of Wales Rd, Coventry (0203 678784). Ht 5 ft 9 ins. Wt 12 st. Roelof Johannes Gysbertus OELOFSE (1953‐1954) Full‐back / Centre‐half Born Lichtenburg, Transvaal, South Africa, 12 November 1926 Died South Africa, November 2001 Representative Honours South Africa ‘Unofficial’ Watford Career Football League: 15 appearances Début: 0‐2 away defeat v Southampton, Football League Div 3 (South), 19 Aug 1953 Final game: 1‐0 home win v Coventry City, Football League Div 3 (South), 6 Feb 1954 Longest run of consecutive appearances: Football League all 9; competitions 9 Career Path Berea Park (South Africa); Chelsea (October 1951); WATFORD (“nearly £2,000” July 1953 until close season 1954) Football League Career Apps Subs Goals League Status and Final Position 1951/52 Chelsea 3 Football League Division 1 – 19th of 22 1952/53 Chelsea 5 Football League Division 1 – 19th of 22 1953/54 WATFORD 15 Football League Division 3 (South) – 4th of 24 Expressing no personal preference for either position, he was a well‐built full‐back or centre‐half who returned to South Africa after nearly three seasons in English football, although Watford had retained his registration and placed him on the open‐to‐transfer list at £1,500. He also played baseball while in England, and subsequently represented his home country in ‘unofficial’ international football matches against both Australia and England. Although he was known here as Ralph, the authentic pronunciation of his name was ‘Roolaf Oolafsa’, with the accent on the first syllable in both words. Known in England as “Ralph”. I have copy of birth certificate. Returned to South Africa July 1954. Died of cancer. Toured Australia with South Africa circa October 1955. Played there in “Test Matches” v Australia, and also v England XI 1956 (designated as ‘Northern Transvaal’). Played for Anglo‐South African XI v South Africa at Highbury 9/11/1953. Married and living in Harrow when he joined Watford. Living in Pretoria mid‐1990s.

E R Bell, Adrian R.

The results demonstrate that, on average, a managerial sacking results in a post-announcement day market-adjusted share price rise of 0.3%, whilst a resignation leads to a drop in share price of 1% that continues for a trading month thereafter, cumulating in a negative abnormal return of over 8% from a trading day before the event.

What happened on 29 May 1985 at the Heysel stadium in Brussels was the darkest hour in the history of the UEFA competitions. Disaster struck the final of the Champion Clubs’ Cup between Juventus and Liverpool before a ball had even been kicked, leaving 39 spectators dead and injuring many more during what should have been a celebration of football. Whilst this tragedy could have called into question the future of the major European football competitions, particularly the Champion Clubs’ Cup, it soon became clear that defeatism was not the best way to pay tribute to the victims.

That’s 46 years of incredible loyalty. In fact he’s only missed one friendly and that was through no fault of his own. An air traffic control strike prevented him from boarding a flight to Toronto – he had a match ticket and a flight ticket. Brian Clough lasted 44 days. Jock Stein lasted 44 days. Another 19 managers have come and gone (20 if you include Eddie Gray twice – although he’s far from gone, given his role as commentator on Yorkshire Radio with the brilliant Thom Kirwin, hospitality stuff and complete and utter devotion to Leeds United) and Brian McDermott is the latest man to depart Elland Road.
