FC Shakhtar Annual Report Season 2009|10
www.shakhtar.com FC Shakhtar Annual Report season 2009|10 The season 2009/2010 turned out to be interesting and eventful. I think the fans will remember it for many years to come. WE HAVE CONSTRUCTED DONBASS ARENA – THE STADIUM IS OF A HIGH EUROPEAN STANDARD. IT MEETS THE AIMS AND AMBITIONS OF OUR CLUB. Donbass Arena was constructed for Shakhtar to play there and for the spectators to eagerly come and support their team. I think we managed to achieve this. Before the opening of Donbass Arena I had supposed that 30–35 thousand spectators were a real number for an ordinary game of the Ukrainian Championship. The first year of the stadium’s operation proved it. Shakhtar won the gold medals of 2009/2010 Ukrainian Championship. It is the fifth champion’s title of our team. This time Shakhtar starts the most prestigious European club tournament from the group stage. The Club’s management and fans are looking forward to the successful performance of our team. I’d also like to say that we are very grateful to the head coach, Mircea Lucescu, for the team he’s created. Over the last 6 years, we’ve won 4 championship titles, the UEFA Cup, and we are showing spectacular football of high European standard. Today we all believe in our team and this means for We BELIEVE in our team us a lot more than just words. with our whole HEARTS We believe in our team with our whole hearts and know, whoever our team plays against, we may expect victory. -

Hofstra Football Conference Abstract
(Abstract submitted to Soccer As The Beautiful Game: Football’s Artistry, Identity And Politics) Commemorating Tragic Heroes: Statuary of Footballers Who Died Mid-Career Chris Stride (University of Sheffield, UK) and Ffion Thomas (UClan,UK) Statues of footballers are a phenomenon as global as the sport itself, with over 300 currently in situ at stadiums or civic sites around the world. In his analysis of the monuments of Washington DC, historian Kirk Savage notes how ‘monuments erected by a people… reveal who the people really are’. Accordingly, these bronze ball players tell us how clubs and fans seek to construct cultural memory from a combination of their social mores, and their perception of the hero depicted. In this way they offer a lens through which to examine the similarities, differences and temporal changes in football cultures across national boundaries. Almost 95% of these statues have been erected within the past 20 years. Twin drivers behind the rapid growth in football statues are their use by clubs as part of a marketing strategy to evoke nostalgia and hence increase fan attachment; and a desire by clubs, fans and communities to proclaim a distinctive and successful identity within stadium and civic landscapes that are increasing globalised, commercial and homogenous. It is not uncommon for statue subjects to be alive when unveiled - and a handful have been still-active players. However, a small subset of football statues have been motivated by the collective grief of a life and career cut unexpectedly short. Monuments erected for this reason have deeper roots than the wider football statuary, but in common with that wider statuary, have also become more frequent, to the extent that, when an active professional player dies, there is now an immediate clamour for statuary amongst fans.
