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. -

View the Text of Geoff Maitland's Presidential Address
1 Chemical engineering matters everywhere - reflections on a journey from academe to industry, and back again Institution of Chemical Engineers Presidential Address, May 28th 2014 Professor Geoffrey Maitland FREng FIChemE 1. Introduction How did I come to be standing here? I think it was John Lennon who once observed that life is what happens when you are planning something else – I know exactly what he was talking about. For the last nine years I have been professor of energy engineering at Imperial College London, carrying out research with my students and colleagues, many of whom are here tonight, on a variety of topics right across the energy landscape, from clean fossil fuels to green algae as a source of renewable hydrogen. To explain how I came to this life of engineering and to be working on what I consider to be probably the most important challenge facing the world in this 21st Century, I want to take you all on a journey, which began in Stoke-on-Trent in the 1940’s, and tell you about some of the doors that opened up along the way. And I want to use this journey to comment on some of the challenges and opportunities for chemical engineers today and what I would like to achieve for the Institution and our profession as your President. 2. Early beginnings… a first taste of Engineering As Dylan Thomas said, “To begin at the beginning…” I was born in Stoke, the Potteries, so you will not be surprised to learn that my father worked in the pottery industry, at a company called Podmore and Sons. -

It must have been sometime in 2005 and I knew that by then I he rarely spoke to people about football. He’d had nothing to do with the game since the time he left Leeds United in 1980. They had joked there that he was the Yorkshire Ripper. The police used to go round the pubs of Leeds and play the infamous hoax tape of the Geordie voice belonging to the guy who claimed to be the Ripper. They would ask, ‘Does anyone recognise this voice?’ Voices would shout back, ‘It’s Jimmy bloody Adamson.’ By 1980 he was none too popular at Elland Road. -

Triumph and Tragedy: the Alan Hinton Story’, by Alan Hinton (With Charlie Bamforth)
Geoffrey Publications is delighted to announce the imminent availability of a new book, ‘Triumph and Tragedy: The Alan Hinton Story’, by Alan Hinton (with Charlie Bamforth). Few indeed are the people who can claim to have been intimately involved in professional football for more than 60 years. Fewer still are those who can justly say that they reached the very top as a player, a coach and as an ambassador for the game. And surely nobody else can say that they did this whilst somehow trying to come to terms with the tragic death of a child. Soccer has been the lifeblood of Alan Hinton since he was a young Wednesbury lad watching Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion, imploring visiting supporters to send him their clubs’ programmes. He left school at not-quite-15 years old to join the ground staff at Wolves. He was, literally, taken under the wing of the legendary Jimmy Mullen and transformed into a dynamic, completely two-footed left winger with a dynamic shot who was top scorer in Stanley Cullis’ young Wanderers team of the early sixties. The youngster never got too big for his boots - and this book gives endless stories of his down-to-earth nature. For example, how many modern players would be making their way to and from work on two buses and going home to share a bed with his brother after making his England debut, aged 19? Wolves fans were devastated when their ‘Noddy’ was let go to Nottingham Forest in 1964, though not so heartbroken as Hinton himself. -
