John Aldridge a Real Irishman by Matthew Brown
John Aldridge A Real Irishman By Matthew Brown [1] This article is a case study of an Irishman in Spain. It is not a conventional story - there are no Wild Geese and religion plays no part in the protagonist’s travels. Instead, a Liverpudlian spends two years in San Sebastián, learns very little Spanish, scores a lot of goals, gets spat on, and goes home to play for Tranmere Rovers. It concludes by concurring with Eduardo Galeano’s observation that football, travel and national identity are bound together in surprising ways, that ‘el fútbol y la patria están siempre atados’ (Galeano 1995: 38). Who was John William Aldridge? He was born in Liverpool on 18 September 1958. He played football for Newport County and Oxford United, before moving to Liverpool. He won the League Championship in 1988 at the end of his first full season, though he famously became the first person to miss a penalty kick in the British F.A. Cup final, seeing his kick saved by Wimbledon goalkeeper Dave Beasant. The following season Aldridge was on the pitch during the tragic Hillsbor- ough stadium disaster, in which ninety-six football supporters were killed. This event affected Aldridge profoundly. Within six months Aldridge had left Liverpool and signed for Real Sociedad in the Basque Country. During this same period Aldridge established himself in the Irish national team managed by Jack Charlton. It is not the intention of this article to explore just how Irish Aldridge ‘really was’ in the face of his birth, accent and home. He played plenty of times for the Irish national team during its most successful period.

Football's Lost Decade
FOOTBALL’S Contrary to what Sky TV might have you believe, football did exist before 1992. In fact, the 1980s saw cultural and political change that shaped the modern game. But while LOST football wasn’t cool, some of us still loved it. Jon Howe looks back with nostalgia at the DECADE decade that football forgot... A game you might have forgotten Leeds United 1 Aston Villa 2 n August 16, 1980 The usual season-opening optimism was somewhat missing from Elland Road in August 1980. Despite the signing of Argentinean Alex Sabella for £400,000 from Sheffield United, Leeds fans were still smarting from a mediocre 11th-place finish the previous season, plus early and humiliating exits from both domestic cups and the UEFA Cup. It is safe to say that the words “Adamson out!” were not far from the vocal majority’s lips and they would be heard again before this afternoon was out. A Leeds fan in denial is a dangerous Alex Sabella in beast, and nobody liked to admit they action against were watching a club in transition, Aston Villa particularly when the direction of change was heading alarmingly the wrong way. That continued here, despite an explosive start when Brian Flynn earned a penalty in the opening exchanges, which was duly effort from Tony Morley. The England For Leeds it would be meagre fare for dispatched by Byron Stevenson after 177 winger was chief architect again on the much of another fruitless season. Jimmy seconds.

Title Information
Title information Heaven Up Here The Story of Liverpool's 1981/82 League and League Cup Double By Michael T Nevin Key features • Enthralling account of the revolutionary 1981/82 season and Liverpool’s 13th league title • Dressing-room insights from Alan Kennedy, Graeme Souness and Phil Thompson – plus Kevin Keegan on the death of legendary manager Bill Shankly • Contemporary eyewitness accounts from Liverpool supporters bring the season to life • Explores the social, cultural and wider football backdrop, depicting challenging times for the city and the game • Mike Nevin is a respected writer and commentator on LFC history; he is co-author of the critically acclaimed On the March with Kenny’s Army • Publicity campaign planned including radio, newspapers, websites, podcasts and magazines Description It's August 1981 and Liverpool, a city already on its knees in the grip of Thatcherism, is reeling from the devastating effects of the summer riots. While Charles and Diana marry, Ian Botham wins the Ashes and Shergar romps to Derby glory, Liverpool is ablaze. Mass unemployment and widespread poverty reign and hope among the young is fading fast. All that is left to cheer is the football. On the pitch, Liverpool – the European champions – are struggling. The Reds lie adrift in 12th place at Christmas. Gates are falling, key players are ageing, or in the case of Ray Clemence, leaving. But Bruce Grobbelaar has arrived and Ian Rush and Ronnie Whelan are emerging. The axe falls on Phil Thompson's captaincy and the armband is awarded to his nemesis Graeme Souness. It was a Bob Paisley masterstroke.
