Hilderaldo Bellini, captain of Brazil’s first World Cup-winning side in 1958, was the first footballer to triumphantly lift a trophy over their head. “Seeing that Jordan Henderson seems to have developed his own special trophy lift, are there other footballers who can claim the same?” asks Gareth Bell-Jones. Cue over exuberant celebration with the Reading fans, a second booking and an (slightly) early bath.” Good Jord Bristol City converted the penalty and the score remained 1-0 until the 90th minute when substitute Church popped in a dramatic late equaliser. Church protested a bit too much with the assistant referee, earning him a booking while still on the bench. “City were awarded a dubious penalty in the 13th minute. “Simon Church was on the bench for Reading when they played away to Bristol City on 19 December 2009 (their first match Brendan Rodgers’ ill-fated four-month stint in charge),” recalls Richard Harland. “Has any substitute been shown a yellow card while on the bench, then brought on and shown a second yellow card?” enquires Guy Stephenson. Look especially at when he was promoted to the Scottish national team - that was one of Scottish football’s biggest farces.” Take us to Church I don’t know why people think he was the great coach. George Burley’s influence was very minimal. All the players brought to Hearts that year were brought by me.
Without him, we still got second place and the cup as well. Speaking years later, Romanov was remorseless: “We could have lost more with him staying. They finished second, 17 points behind Celtic. He was blamed for playing too conservatively.”Īnd George Burley was removed from Tynecastle by owner Vladimir Romanov in October 2005, with Hearts unbeaten and leading the way in Scotland (barely a month after this piece). Another point of criticism was the form of tactics used. The Croatian couldn’t speak Dutch and barely managed to communicate in French and English. The board cited ‘communication problems between players and the manager’ as the main reason for Peruzovic’s departure. “On 14 January 1993, Luka Peruzovic was sacked by the Anderlecht board, despite a comfortable six-point lead in the league after 18 games. He was allowed to finish the season - Rosenborg won.- Jaquez Corlet January 21, 2020ĭirk Maas has another. At this point, Rosenborg was top of the league and had recently drawn against Arsenal in the Champions League group stage. Ola By Rise was sacked by Rosenborg (Norway) in October 2004, two rounds before the end of the league. And guess what? Yes, they finished second that year. PSG were top of Ligue 1, and Ancelotti finished three points behind Montpellier on the final day Radomir Antic, axed by Real Madrid in 1992, who finished second behind Barcelona that year and Branko Zebec, ditched by Hamburg in 1980. “It happens that L’Equipe asked themselves the same question, and found … Antoine Kombouaré, sacked in December 2011 by PSG and their new owner QSI, to make place for Carlo Ancelotti.
“ a marvellous man who maybe didn’t have the luck, didn’t get the support he should have got from the club,” Ferguson later admitted.įlorian Labrouche gets in touch with news of a rival. The weekend before Symon’s sacking Rangers had laboured to a goalless draw at home to Dunfermline.” One of his last signings before getting the boot had been a centre-forward by the name of Alex Ferguson. “In fact, at the time of Symon’s sacking, Celtic (who had collected a clean sweep of five first-team trophies during 1966-67) were in Buenos Aires preparing for the first of two feisty encounters with Racing Club for the World Championship.
