It’s self explanatory really for those who are unfamiliar with the term; a band releases a superb debut album and such is the hype surrounding a follow up, writers block, doubts and the feeling of an inability to capitalise on the inital euphoria enter the fray. When we sent the frst special editon online programme out through the WiFi dominated ether we were bowled over by the response not just from all involved with Bohemians but also from other clubs, of whom at Premier Division least a few were reported as utering ‘why didn’t we think of that?!’ 1923/24, 1927/28, 1929/30, So as the weeks passed and with the League of Ireland retaining it’s 1933/34, 1935/36, 1974/75, limbo status I raised the idea with the programme team of doing another 1977/78, 2000/01, 2002/03, one.

  • NETHERLANDS V ITALY MATCH PRESS KIT Municipal, Aveiro Monday, 29 May 2006 - 19:45 Local Time Final Tournament - Group Phase Group B - Matchday 6
    NETHERLANDS v ITALY MATCH PRESS KIT Municipal, Aveiro Monday, 29 May 2006 - 19:45 local time Final tournament - Group phase Group B - Matchday 6 For two countries with rich heritage at all levels, it is perhaps surprising that when the Netherlands and Italy come face to face in the third and final round of Group B matches at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, it will be their first competitive meeting. Italy sit top of the group with four points thanks to Giorgio Chiellini's added-time winner against Ukraine which followed their similarly dramatic 3-3 draw with Denmark. The Netherlands are still looking for their first victory after losing to Ukraine then drawing with Denmark, and must win to advance. • The countries have rarely come into opposition at youth level either, although when they have crossed paths it has invariably been a close contest. At the 2005 European U17 Championship hosts Italy won through to a semi-final against the Dutch but home advantage proved irrelevant on this occasion with Melvin Zaalman getting the only goal for the Netherlands in extra time. Italy had had the better of their four meetings at U16 level with three victories including a 6-1 triumph in the 1990 qualifying round and edged out the Dutch on penalties to reach the U18 finals in 1998/99, when they went on to the final before losing to Portugal. • At senior level perhaps their most significant meeting was in the semi-finals of UEFA EURO 2000™ when, on home soil, the Dutch missed two penalties in normal time against ten-man Italy with Frank de Boer and Patrick Kluivert both failing from the spot.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.

    NAME: _________________________ A Numeracy and Literacy based workbook aimed at Upper KS2 Primary Level students. THE EUROS The UEFA European Championships (The Euros) is the main football competition contested by national teams in Europe. It has been held every four years since 1960. The host(s) nations qualify automatically, whilst all other teams gain entry by qualifying from groups drawn before the tournament commences. The 14 European Championships tournaments to date have been won by nine different national teams, with Germany and Spain winning three times each. France has won twice, whilst the Soviet Union, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Greece and Czechoslovakia have each won once. The Henri Delaunay Trophy is awarded to the tournament winners. It is named in honour of Henri Delaunay, the first General Secretary of UEFA, who is credited with conceiving of the idea of a European championship competition. He died five years prior to the first tournament in 1960. The most recent championship, co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine in 2012, was won by Spain, who beat Italy 4–0 at the final in Kiev. The next European Championship will be hosted in France.
