Sean Bean – gaining some vital experience for his next role in Anna Karenina – remembers the nightclub scene particularly fondly: Football is a man’s game,” he says [although the film was written and directed by Maria Giese]. “Though women are getting more interested in it now, and they enjoy the matches just as much as we do, but it’s a man’s game for all that. I hope it stays that way – otherwise it will get like American football, where they bring their families and have hamburgers and everything, and that would spoil it for me.” After departing Ibrox, Sterland would play an integral role in the Leeds United side who would win the old Second Division and First Division under Howard Wilkinson, playing alongside current Rangers assistant Gary McAllister.
I’ve got somethings off my chest writing this book... It’s not just about football this and football that but it's about me.” FBref.com launched (June 13, 2018) with domestic league coverage for England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and United States. Since then we have been steadily expanding our coverage to include domestic leagues from over 40 countries as well as domestic cup, super cup and youth leagues from top European countries. We have also added coverage for major international cups such as the UEFA Champions League and Copa Libertadores. Despite the Scottish Cup disappointment, Sterland was settling into life as a Rangers player and looking forward to defending the league title. An elbow in the face from one rather ancient-looking defender is enough to convince Jimmy’s No.1 fan Mel Sterland that this heavily concussed Sunday League footballer should take the crucial penalty to put them into the FA Cup final. Someone’s had a word – maybe the director.Manchester United cruise into the lead, the Blades’ No.9 “Dave” does his ankle ligaments, and Dad from Hollyoaks is, predictably, furious at half-time. Jimmy handles the step up quite comfortably, slamming home the winner on his debut, fulfils the contractually-obliged Sean Bean Arse Shot in the bath afterwards, and then headbutts his jealous captain after Ken wangles Jimmy a trial at First Division Sheffield United. In 1981–82, when the Owls emerged as promotion challengers but were eventually beaten out of the top three, Sterland was selected in the league on 27 occasions. He remained a regular player as the Owls continued to progress, reaching the FA Cup semi-finals in 1983 and winning promotion to the First Division a year later after a 14-year exile. In 1985–86 he enjoyed arguably the finest season of his time at Sheffield Wednesday, if not his whole career, when he played 38 league games and scored eight goals for a side who finished fifth in the First Division but were denied UEFA Cup action due to the ban on English clubs in European competitions following the Heysel disaster of May 1985. Alan Gomes had some news from Portugal. “I’m not sure whether this is the most emphatic total ever, but in the Portuguese league André Villas-Boas’s Porto ended 21 points ahead of their closest rivals in a 16-team league. And that actually wasn’t even the best Porto performance, depending on how you’re counting. In the 1987-88 season then-European champions won a 20-team league by a 15 point margin – but, since at that time a win only got you two points in Portugal, that lead would translate into 25 points on current standards.”
FBref is the most complete sources for women's football data on the internet. This includes the entire history of the FIFA Women's World Cup as well as recent domestic league seasons from nine countries, including advanced stats like xG for most of those nine. I played with Terry Curran, Chris Turner, Andy McCulloch, Jeff Johnson, Roger Wilde – they were all real characters.

The daughter of Barry Pennington, Louis, is sat in her bedroom sewing, while her brother watches tv. She explains how she is dreading leaving school with little job opportunities and the prospect of being on YTS. Barry Pennington talks about how teenagers want to learn new skills but that there is little opportunity for this, as we see images on the cooling towers at Tinsley and of derelict areas.
He did most of the coaching, to be honest, he was a great coach and a great guy. Souness used to play in the games and get the players wound up but Walter was a gentleman.” What about signing that or get out.' Well that his what he said to those words anyway, that I can repeat anyway! On he comes – and his first contribution is to go straight through what looks vaguely like Phil Neville. The referee, for some reason, already had his yellow card out: It’s easy to say ‘move on and get on with it’ and I’ve been down the road and it’s difficult.” Boozing I’m sure my mum was watching over me and I heard her talk to me. She reminded me that I had a wife and two kids! She swore at me and told me to get a grip of myself and I just stopped and cried and thought about everything.Gary Mac is an absolutely fantastic guy and he and Steven Gerrard have done a superb job at Rangers. I think they’ll win the league again this year. I know Celtic will be at them and they’ve brought a few players in but Rangers have got good balance now, they’ve got exciting players and I think Gerrard and Gary Mac won’t let it slip.” Wilkinson needed warriors and he got one in Sterland, who took to the task at Leeds United with an emotional and a professional commitment. He revelled in the Elland Road atmosphere and played with the sense that every day was the best of his life. As already explained, the FA Cup Semi-Final should be played at a neutral venue and not at the home ground of Sheffield United – as in the film. However, there is also the alarming fact that the April semi-final takes place in mid-winter. This is due to the footage from the ‘real game’ actually being an FA Cup 3rd tie in January, 1995.” Perhaps as a tidy cashing-in on the pre-Euro ‘96 fever, Sean Bean was rather easily persuaded to take on the role of Jimmy Muir (invariably a “Jimmy”, these types), a hard-drinking, family-loving Sunday League footballer who gave up hopes of a professional career to work in the local brewery. With the Highlander himself, Christopher Lambert, among the producers, this was already destined to be a high-class affair. As the book is called 'Boozing, Betting and Brawling' Andy couldn't let him go without asking him about two of his weaknesses...
