  • Matches – 1 April 1970 – Leeds United 0 Celtic 1
    Matches – 1 April 1970 – Leeds United 0 Celtic 1 European Cup semi final 1st leg – Elland Road – 45,505 Scorers: None Leeds United: Sprake, Reaney, Cooper, Bremner (Bates), Charlton, Madeley, Lorimer, Clarke, Jones, Giles, Gray Celtic: Williams, Hay, Gemmell, Murdoch, McNeill, Brogan, Johnstone, Connelly (Hughes), Wallace, Auld, Lennox Geoffrey Green in the Times on 21 March 1970: “When Leeds and Celtic were paired in the European Cup, groans of disappointment all over the Roman chamber greeted the announcement. Certainly it was the last thing wanted both north and south of the River Tweed as everybody had hoped that these two would fashion the first all-British climax. As it is, both clubs can now consider this as the real final, though that, of course, will be of small consolation to the loser.” The eloquent and loquacious Green, so often accused of hyperbole, got it absolutely right on this occasion, for the contest between two clubs who were each battling for their own treble of League, Cup and European Cup quickly assumed the status of Britain‟s club championship, an objective means of settling the heated debate about national superiority. Of course, the presence of Bremner, Lorimer and Gray in the United side, bolstered by a Welshman and an Irishman devalued the currency of Leeds as representing England. Or is that quibbling? The football poet, Seamus Murphy captured the simmering rage of football followers north of the border, when he penned the following poem in later years: One day down in England in the year 69 The great Leeds United were on cloud number 9, They'd just become champs and were over the moon, Next season in Europe just can't come too soon.

  • Bobby Collins - Part 1 - an Appreciation
    Players - Bobby Collins - Part 1 - An appreciation Don Revie might have been the visionary architect behind Leeds United’s rise to footballing eminence, but it’s a fair bet that had Revie not had the wit, foresight and downright good fortune to bring Bobby Collins to Elland Road his grand design would have been smothered at birth. When Collins arrived at the club in March 1962, United were adrift at the bottom of Division Two and staring the ignominy of the Third Division starkly in the face. Five years later, as he departed for Bury, Leeds were the most feared club in England and well on their way to repeating the trick in Europe. The pocket-sized Napoleon – at his peak he stood 5ft 4in, weighed 10 stone and wore size four boots – was almost single-handedly responsible for the revival of a club that had been going nowhere fast. Revie was the brains behind the Leeds United resurrection, but Collins was the heart and soul, the rousing, restless, ferocious spirit that made sure the manager’s game plan was translated into bloody action when the players entered the arena, the Don’s Bobby Collins ... THE ENFORCER enforcer. Had the Scot not been there to make the difference it is conceivable that Revie and United would have faded into obscurity, and the point was never lost on the manager. Collins was always one of his favourites and he never tired of singing his praises, saying in The Leeds United Story: “He's the perfect example of what we in the game call a professional's professional.

As early as the 1830s Joseph Strutt, in his groundbreaking study of popular recreation, stressed the fact that: In order to form a just estimation of the character of any particular people, it is absolutely necessary to investigate the sports and pastimes most generally prevalent among them2. 1 Participatory sports, and football arguably more than any other, seem to confirm this precept and, over the years, have given rise to a variety of “insights” and clichés about national identity traits which can be drawn from them, some of which even lay claim to “universal” meaning.

  • Oxford DNB: January 2021
    Oxford DNB: January 2021 Welcome to the seventieth update of the Oxford DNB, which adds biographies of 241 individuals who died in the year 2017: 224 with their own entries and seventeen added to existing entries as 'co-subjects'. Of these new inclusions, the earliest born is the journalist Clare Hollingworth (1911-2017) and the latest born is the artist and photographer Khadija Saye (1992- 2017). Hollingworth is one of five centenarians included in this update, and Saye one of thirty-four new subjects born after the Second World War. The vast majority (169, or over 70%) were born in the 1920s and 1930s. Sixty-three of the new subjects who died in 2017 (or just over 26% of the cohort) are women. Twenty of the new subjects were themselves contributors to the dictionary. Forty-five of the new articles include portrait images. From January 2021, the Oxford DNB offers biographies of 64,071 men and women who have shaped the British past, contained in 61,745 articles. 11,870 biographies include a portrait image of the subject—researched in partnership with the National Portrait Gallery, London. As ever, we have a free selection of these new entries, together with a full list of the new biographies. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to the Oxford DNB, which means you can access the complete dictionary for free via your local library. Libraries offer 'remote access' that enables you to log in at any time at home (or anywhere you have internet access). Elsewhere the Oxford DNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.
