    Success and Progression of Home-Grown Players in English Professional Football

    Football Labour Migration: An Analysis Of Trends and Experiences of Northern Irish Players Christopher A. Elliott A Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfilment Of The Requirements Of Liverpool John Moores University For The Degree Of Master Of Philosophy June 2017 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my Director of Studies Dr Martin Littlewood for his guidance and support throughout the production of this major project in fulfilment of Master of Philosophy (MPhil). Without your continued support and encouragement this major project would not have been a possibility and for this I am extremely grateful. I would also like to thank my wife Claire for her support and motivation throughout the completion of the thesis. Without your love, support and assistance this thesis would never have been a possibility. I would like to also thank Lynda Gallogly for her assistance; this was greatly appreciated and I am extremely grateful for all your help. In memory of Samuel Douglas Beacom 2 Abstract Rationale – Academic literature regarding football (and labour migration) to date has examined factors that influence migration trends and explanations as to why players potentially migrate (see Magee & Sugden, 2002; Elliott & Weedon, 2011). Whilst others (see Maguire & Pearton, 2000a; Elliott & Weedon, 2011) have examined player acquisition trends of clubs at specific time periods. However, there is a lack of research examining player acquisition trends over a longitudinal period thus prompting the current research and the perceived implications for indigenous home- grown players (and specifically Northern Ireland players). Study 1: Method / Results – A categorical database was created using both Excel (utilised for descriptive statistics) and the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS V.22; utilised for coding and refining of data) which enabled the efficient management and analysis of data (5072 players).

    Marcelo Bielsa & Leeds

    ISSUE ONE | SEPTEMBER 2020 1 WELCOME Welcome to the first-ever edition of ‘The Mighty Delta’, a fanzine devoted to the top four tiers of English football. I’m Steve, the captain aboard this flagship and, if you can indulge me for a moment, I’d like to fling some fanzine love in the direction of an old colleague of mine, Andy Packett. Three or so years ago, he and I would survey the tumbleweed blowing across the Playmaker website and wonder how we would ever get people to notice we had a (more than) half-decent football database on our hands. We’d chucked a few emojis around on Twitter, but were pretty much twisting in the wind. Then, one fateful day, we decided to follow our shared passion for the EFL and something clicked. For his sheer enthusiasm and love of the game (not to mention his ability to shoot from impossible angles at futsal), I’d like to dedicate this issue to ‘Packinfenwa’ and Team Packett. Nossa! I’ll now quickly pivot to the incredibly important business of bigging up The Graphic Bomb, namely Darren and John, who have helped turn the Delta dream into a reality. You’ll see for yourself that their design/illustration work is fantastic, and I know they’ve had to dig deep to make this happen. A massive thank you, guys - you know this already, but you’re the... Lastly, we’d like to put in print how much we appreciate the players (Nicky, Frank, Omar, Joe, Randell), coaches (Anthony), writers (Chris, James, other Joe), mascots (Glyn), photographers (Charlie), artists (Alex) and agents (Bruce!) who’ve given their time to this project.

    CLAPTON ORIENT DURING WW2 -- as at 6 May 2020 In celebration of the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe - VE Day on 8 May 1945 club historian Neilson Kaufman looks back at the men who appeared for O’s during World War Two Special Thanks A special word of thanks to five people who helped the Author in compiling this section. Peter Holme a researcher at the National Football Museum, Football Historians Ian Nannstead, Kenneth Westerberg and Terry Frost. Also special thanks to my assistant historian Davis Watson for his assistance in research some of the players. Finally, last, but not least, long standing O’s supporter and club Ambassador and friend Alan Chandler for the helping me on the research of players over the Second World War period, supplying team sheets for some matches over 1939-46. Sadly, Alan died Sunday, 8 December 2019 and also my former deputy historian and co-writer Alan Ravenhill, who died during September 2015. Without their help this section would not have been fully completed. Unlike in the First World War when three of O’s players were killed in action, none of those profiled below were killed over the Second World War unlike Arsenal who had nine of its players killed in action. This section on O’s history is dedicated to preserving and promoting the history and players of the O’s during World War Two Below are profiles of the wartime players to appear for O's and a name listing with appearances of the amateur players, where detailed profiled information was not always available? The Leading Appearance and Goalscorers over the War years Appearances Fred Bartlett 215, Stan Hall 132, Len Allum 110, Charlie Fletcher 85, George Rumbold 84, Bobby Black 82, Fred Tully 81 Goals Robert Shankly 29, George Willshaw 28, Matt Armstrong 27, Charlie Fletcher 21,Trevor Ford 15 THE A to Z of WARTIME PLAYERS 1939 – 1946 By club historian: Neilson N.
