    EXCLUSIVE: Former Celtic and Southampton manager Gordon Strachan discusses Rangers' recent troubles, Andre Villas-Boas and returning to management. RELATED LINKS • Deal close on pivotal day for Rangers • Advocaat defends spending at Rangers • Bet on Football - Get £25 Free You kept playing until you were 40 and there currently seems to be a trend for older players excelling, such as Giggs, Scholes, Henry and Friedel. What do you put this down to? Mine was due to necessity rather than pleasure, to be honest with you. I came to retire at about 37, but I went to Coventry and I was persuaded by Ron Atkinson, then by players at the club, and then by the chairman at the club, that I should keep playing so that was my situation. The secret of keeping playing for a long time is playing with good players. There have been examples of people playing on - real top, top players - who have gone to a lower level and found it really hard, and then calling it a day. The secret is to have good players around you, you still have to love the game and you have to look after yourself. You will find that the people who have played for a long time have looked after themselves really at an early age - 15 to 21 -so they have got a real base fitness in them. They trained hard at that period of time, and hard work is not hard work to them: it becomes the norm. How much have improvements in lifestyle, nutrition and other techniques like yoga and pilates helped extend players' careers? People talked about my diet when I played: I had porridge, bananas, seaweed tablets.

  • Brian Clough and Peter Taylor
    Made in Derby 2018 Profile Brian Clough and Peter Taylor Brian Clough and Peter Taylor. Two names that will always be associated with Derby County. They met as young players – Brian a centre-forward and Peter a goalkeeper – at Middlesbrough FC, where they played together for six years. With a shared passion for the beautiful game they formed a friendship that would take them to the very top of English and European football. They first joined forces as managers at Hartlepool United but it was at Derby County where the dynamic duo, as they were known, had their first taste of the big time. Many of Derby's greatest names were signed in the Clough-Taylor era: Roy McFarland, John O'Hare, Alan Hinton, John McGovern, Willie Carlin, Dave Mackay, Colin Todd and Archie Gemmill to name a few. The two managers and their magnificent team took the Rams to the very top, winning the Division One Championship in 1972 and reaching the European Cup semi-finals. The pair controversially resigned early in the 1973-74 season and the partnership broke up briefly, only be reunited at Nottingham Forest in 1976 where they won many accolades, including two European Cups. But it was at Derby County where the partnership first flourished and Taylor’s daughter, Wendy Dickinson, in a biography of her father, said: “When dad and Brian arrived at the Baseball Ground in May, 1967 it was as if Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had ridden into town, all guns blazing. These two bright young upstarts were a breath of fresh air at a club that was stuck in the past.” She said her dad was “passionate” about managing Derby and added: “My mum remembers driving down to Derby for the first time and dad said, ‘I wonder what the supporters are like?’ He later said he thought they were the best in the country.” The success of that Derby County team affected everyone in the town and amazing results week after week sent people to work on a Monday morning with a spring in their step.

  • The Best Football Films You Have Probably Never Seen by Stuart Fuller
    The best football films you have probably never seen by Stuart Fuller Films about football have never been that well received by critics for a number of reasons. We’ve all seen Escape to Victory and marvelled at the footballing skill of Sylvester Stallone and the acting ability of Bobby Moore (or was it the other way round?) or the unlikely storylines of the FIFA- approved Goal trilogy, cringe worthy Sheffield United epic, When Saturday Comes. But there are some decent football-related films out there, especially when they recreate actual events. The five below are our top picks where semi-unbelievable story lines, bad acting and woefully choreographed footballing action is left on the cutting room floor. The Miracle of Bern (2003) One of the biggest shocks in World Cup history is now known as ‘the miracle of Bern’ – the name for West Germany’s triumph in the 1954 finals, when Sepp Herberger’s unfancied side beat Hungary’s ‘magic Magyars’ of Puskas and co. Such was the impact of the victory on national consciousness that it’s often seen as a herald of Germany’s economic and political recovery after the war. The tournament also gave us one of the most famous footballing quotes when Herberger was asked whether his side could recover from an earlier heavy defeat to Hungary to beat them in the final. His response was “The ball is round. The game lasts ninety minutes. This much is fact. Everything else is theory.” Director Sönke Wortmann tells the story through the eyes of 11-year-old Matthias, boot polisher to local footballer Helmut Rahn (who would go on to score the winning goal in 1954).
