The World’s First Football Superstar
Author: Owen Arthur
Publisher: Pen and Sword History
ISBN: 1399083511
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Buried in an unmarked grave in the churchyard of the small village of Benson in Oxfordshire lies the body of a footballing world champion from a bygone era shrouded in the mists of time. His name was Stephen Smith. This footballer of the Victorian and Edwardian era could claim as many league title winning medals as John Terry and Wayne Rooney, more league winners medals than Eric Cantona, Frank Lampard, Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer. This book is the never before told story of a footballer born at the end of the Industrial Revolution, son of agricultural labourers who became a miner, working underground combining that job with one as a professional footballer to rise to the top of the footballing world. Smith won trophy after trophy in the best and only professional league anywhere in the world at that time. He also scored the goal that made England World Champions in 1895. Smith, at the top of his game in a move that mirrored the Premier League breakaway of 1992 and the recent ill-fated European Super League then joined the newly formed Southern League at a time when the Football League started to cap player wages. He did this in order to ensure his family’s future as well as end his reliance on his part-time earnings from mining. Football’s zeitgeist has fundamentally changed very little in the last 130 years for those inside the industry. This is the story of Stephen Smith and the quest to find the support and funds to mark and commemorate one of the most decorated yet underappreciated footballers in the history of the game.

Book Description
Leadership comes from within, but you can’t find it until you know where to look. Here’s what you need to know… Have you just found yourself rising into a leadership role and aren’t quite sure what to do about it? Or maybe you’re still dreaming of the day this happens to you and want to be prepared when it comes? Perhaps your friends, family, and even co-workers are constantly admiring your leadership qualities but you still don't understand what they see in you? That voice inside of you that’s constantly encouraging you to stand up and lead isn’t going anywhere -- it’s time to embrace it. How you do that is actually a very simple and straightforward process. There are no fancy gimmicks or complex hoops to jump through, and it isn’t going to require a ton of your time or energy. There are 9 key factors that go into being a leader, and every leader has their strengths and weaknesses distributed across them differently. What’s important is that you understand each of them and become aware of what’s going to work best for you. Once you do, you’ll be able to tap into your own true power and begin leading others in the most effective (and productive) ways possible. In Leadership Wizard, you’ll discover: ● The different types of leadership styles -- and why transformational leadership is so crucial to your success ● How to use your body language and persuasive communication to get people to want to listen to you ● The most effective ways to build trust with your audience and following -- know your people are with you every step of the way ● A deeper look at what motivates people into action so you can focus on inspiring them in ways they feel excited about ● Why your team needs to see you “in the trenches” with them -- and what this actually looks like in your daily interactions ● How you can train your self-discipline -- and why this creates healthy habits of long-lasting success ● How you can turn your team of followers into a team of leaders -- and why this is actually a good thing for you … and much more! Enough with all the dreaming -- no one can follow someone who doesn’t lead them properly. People want to know what you have to say and want to go where you’re going… you just have to establish the right methods of communicating your message to them. Your exact skill set is needed in the world now more than ever before. The only question is: Are you ready to become everything you’re destined to be?

8 May 2013: the day Manchester United fans had dreaded for nearly three decades.

Before joining Manchester United, he led a struggling Aberdeen side to the league title and the 1983 European Cup Winners' Cup and, although he struggled initially at United, his bargain-signing of Eric Cantona secured their first league title in 26 years.An incredible run of success followed, shaped by the emergence of 'Fergie's Fledglings' - Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, David Beckham and Nicky Butt. His finest moment was in 1999 when United romped to an unprecedented Treble of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies. Ferguson was knighted the same year. This in-depth biography charts Fergie's unstoppable rise and pays tribute to the greatest manager the world has ever seen.
