"Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. July 20, 1969 That afternoon in mid-July, Two pilgrims watched from distant space The moon ballooning in the sky. They rose to meet it face-to-face. Their spidery spaceship, Eagle, dropped Down gently on the lunar sand. And when the module's engines stopped, Rapt silence fell across the land. The first man down the ladder, Neil, Spoke words that we remember now— “One small step...” It made us feel As if we were there too, somehow. When Neil planted the flag and Buzz Collected lunar rocks and dust, They hopped like kangaroos because Of gravity. Or wanderlust? A quarter million miles away, One small blue planet watched in awe.

As a Geordie and a Newcastle United supporter, I always kept a keen interest on what was happening on Tyneside in the early stages of my career at Southampton and Blackburn. Although it was common for clubs to sign foreign players in the early 1990s, the market wasn’t saturated the way it is now, but it was certainly unusual for teams to invest in foreign goalkeepers. And Pavel’s arrival on Tyneside certainly caused a stir. He turned up on the club’s doorstep when it was struggling at the wrong end of the old Second Division. It must have been a baptism of fire for the young Czech goalkeeper. Not only did he have to adapt to a new style of football he had to settle in to a new town and culture.

  • The Stanley Show
    Introduction: The Stanley Show Stanley Matthews turned matter-of-factly, his stare fixed to avoid eye contact. His expression, washed of emotion, accentuated the slightly sunken, careworn look that made him appear at least as old as his thirty-two years. Time had already gone to work on his hair. It was combed back and still dark but was in the first stages of retreat. In close-up, something seemed to shadow his features, a sadness possibly pleated in the corners of his mouth. No one could have guessed that here was a man at the soaring peak of his powers who had just brought a packed arena to a ferment of excitement. As Matthews turned, gently hitching the elastic of his loose- fitting shorts on to his hips, the sellout crowd of 75,000 at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels had started to applaud. Moments earlier, England’s outside-right had completed a run that even by his standards was exceptional, bewildering Belgium’s defence and electrifying the spectators. And that was not the end of this particular piece by Matthews on a pitch made treacherous by a violent cloudburst soon after kick-off. Having wrought havoc with the ball on the turf, he dipped his head, cocked his right boot and lifted the ball over the oncoming keeper. One reporter likened it to a golf shot, Matthews seizing a wedge and lofting The Wizard pages.indd 1 23/01/2014 11:15 2 jon henderson the ball in a meticulous arc. All that was left for Tom Finney to do to collect his second goal of the match was to deflect his header into an unguarded net.

  • 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.
