  • 1 Monkey Glands and the Major: Frank Buckley and Modern Football
    1 Monkey Glands and The Major: Frank Buckley and modern football management Introduction On 22 December 1964, the main headline on the back page of the Wolverhampton Express and Star read simply, „The Major is Dead‟. For the paper‟s readers no further explanation was deemed necessary. Frank Buckley had been the manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers from 1927 to 1944. During this period, Wolves had become one of the most feared and respected teams in the country. However, during this time he never won a trophy, although Wolves did nearly win the Double in 1939. Indeed, the Golden Era of Wolves was in the 1950s under one of his protégés, Stan Cullis. Yet it is clear, that over 20 years after he left Wolves, Buckley‟s presence and his legacy was still firmly fixed in the memories of the fans of Wolves and of the people of Wolverhampton in general. In addition, in The Times, together with two internationally renowned scientists and an important Scotland Yard policeman, there was also an obituary for Buckley. This was significant for a number of reasons. First, it reflected football‟s position as the national game. It also highlighted not only the importance now ascribed to the position of the manager within football but also its growing visibility within popular culture more generally. And of course, it illustrated the importance of Buckley himself. Percy Young has stated that „Modern [football] management is based largely on the pioneer work of [Herbert] Chapman and Buckley‟.i In The Times obituary, Buckley was described amongst other things as „a pioneer in modern training methods‟ and someone who had „an uncommon flair for public relations‟.ii So, why was he considered such an important figure within football and in what context did his managerial career develop? Frank Buckley – A Sporting Life 2 First, while this essay is mainly concerned with Buckley‟s career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, it would useful to provide some brief background to this main focus.

  • Players – Terry Hibbitt – a Wayward Genius
    Players – Terry Hibbitt – A wayward genius Terry Hibbitt‘s impressive entrance into senior football hinted that he could be one of the most glorious talents to emerge from Leeds United‘s golden generation of the Sixties. He was given his first team debut as an 18-year-old against Nottingham Forest on 19 February 1966, coming on as a first half substitute for Paul Madeley. Within minutes of taking the field Hibbitt scored a stunning goal, lobbing goalkeeper Peter Grummitt from 20 yards. For the next three years the talented left winger continued to show rich potential whenever given an opportunity by Don Revie, but he disappeared into the cul-de-sac of reserve team football after the talented Eddie Gray established himself as Revie‘s preferred choice on the left flank. A £30,000 transfer to Newcastle United in 1971 gave Hibbitt the chance of reviving his career, and he used the platform to give clear evidence of his prowess in a playmaking role. Hibbitt‘s younger brother Ken, born on 3 January 1951 and an England Under-23 cap, also enjoyed a long and successful professional career, mainly at Wolves (1968-84), with spells at Bradford Park Avenue, Seattle Sounders, Coventry City and Bristol Rovers. Frail of build and bandy of leg, Terry Hibbitt did not have a classic athlete‘s build, but he was an outstanding midfielder, playing cultured and intelligent football. He possessed a great range of passing skills and an instinctive feel for the through ball which benefited Malcolm Macdonald among others. Toon midfield colleague Terry McDermott: ―Hibby had a left foot that was like a magic wand.

  • Leading the Field
    LEADING THE FIELD THE STORY OF SPORT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM MATT COLE The University of Birmingham has invested its aspirations and its resources in sport from the opening of the university to the present day. Whether for the recreation, education and health of its staff, students and the public, or for the development of some of Britain’s sporting pioneers, the University has recognised the integral role of sport in its work. The investment has paid dividends for over a century now in Birmingham’s role in the development of sporting participation, expertise and influence. Sir Oliver Lodge was interrupted on the golf links to be recruited by Joseph Chamberlain as Birmingham University’s first Principal. His sporting enthusiasm was captured in this portrait for a 1904 profile in C.B.
