TA: yeah, the Working Men’s Club, this is a really good example. One band I were in, got to this club, got the gear set up it was a typical Northern flat-cap Working Men’s Club and we went into the dressing room and said to the concert secretary “before we go on, can you put all the house lights down and the stage lights, so the whole club is in complete darkness” and he said “can’t do that lad, sorry son can’t do that” I said “why not, this is our set?” he said “can’t do that, they all want to sit down there at the front and read the paper”! [laughs] You know I couldn’t believe it, so we said “OK keep the lights on” J. H. Leslie (24 February 1912). "Thomas Atkins". Notes and Queries (113): 146. doi: 10.1093/nq/s11-V.113.146a. After this, we are desperate to go on a family holiday to breathe, relax, process everything we have been through, but most importantly to enjoy seeing Rio and Rudy being little boys together and doing all the normal things they have missed out on."

The old stadium was built in 1923 but England did not play anyone other than Scotland there until they beat Argentina in May 1951, and had won twice and drawn twice against continental opposition before Hungary's 6-3 triumph destroyed that illusion of invincibility in England's 23rd home game against continental opposition. JDH: Yeah like I said to Tommy, apart from musical ability though, I think it’s very important you have the personalities amongst the band. Different sorts of personalities to hold it, gel, together. Because they have been a lot of bands who have been in the past, one argument and the lads fall out. But we’ve got something that’s a bit different - JDH: We were in a really good one before when we were in the middle of doing a song and all of a sudden the PA went off and this gut starts shouting “and the winners of the meat draw tonight are” – we’re in the middles of a song and that’s about the level it goes The Bluebirds had their moments in an entertaining contest, but Pearson will feel his side were worthy winners.

TV: And that’s the absolute truth, determination is the one thing that will always carry you through. But there are so many bands, I mean there are bands left right and centre all over this country.

I understand and everyone else understands, everything else doesn't matter - we lost the game. That's all anyone cares about and that's all we care about. Still, they did win their first 15 home games against non-British or Irish sides until Yugoslavia drew 2-2 at Highbury in November 1950. You can see how we have learned his lessons. If I may say so, England could with advantage take to themselves some of the hints which Mr Hogan gave us. We are grateful to him and for his influence on our game." Hogan's legacy lives onThe wait for a first away triumph of 2022-23 goes on for Steve Morison's team, who would have moved into the Championship's top two with a win. It is still a source of great pride," HFF head of communications Marton Dinnyes told BBC Sport. "From grandmothers to small children, everybody knows that result: the 6-3 as we call it - not the 3-6. It is part of the wider culture of Hungary. Victory meant a happy 59th birthday for Robins manager Nigel Pearson, whose side climb to seventh in the early-season table. Mr Hayden-Coffin interviewed". The Bristol Magpie. 8 March 1906. P. 6 . Retrieved 8 April 2018– via British Newspaper Archive. JDH/TA: Well it’s obviously the big ones, isn’t it, EMI, WEA, Decca, Virgin. Virgin’s a very good company to be on at the moment, there’s some really hot artists going on right now. We’re looking for the companies which suit our style of music. And as we say, we have a rawness, a cleanness, which is coming out now in a few artists. But Virgin is the excellent sort of company we’d like to be with. Something like that.

He had developed his approach while a player for the Cottagers, influenced by the ball skills of some Scottish team-mates. Further opportunities came and went after the break, with Jay Dasilva firing wide and Sawyers following suit, before a set-piece goal gave the Robins breathing space. The woodwork was soon rattling again as Weimann's half-volley flashed past Allsop but crashed off the bar, before a breathless half ended with Sheyi Ojo tapping in what he thought was a Cardiff equaliser only for the offside flag to delight the home crowd. As parents, we can't take that risk. We need to be able to take Rio wherever in the world that can treat him."

It was a special thing to beat the inventors of the game. I would not say Jimmy had a big impact on the outcome of that match but he had a major role in establishing our football culture and all football people in this country are still aware of that. Football was an amateur sport in Hungary when he arrived but his knowledge, experience, ideas and passing style were very important for our players to learn from. He started our journey to a different level. Laffin, John (2003). Tommy Atkins: The Story of the English Soldier, The History Press Ltd. p. vii. ISBN 0-75-093480-8.

I loved my time at Sheffield Wednesday, and I know how much football means to the people of Sheffield, so to organise a steel city derby in Rio’s name feels really special. It would be brilliant for the game to be a sell-out and to ensure that we raise as much as we can for Rio. I know how competitive all the lads still are – so it promises to be a great game.”It is 1794 in Flanders, at the height of the Battle of Boxtel. The Duke of Wellington is with his first command, the 33rd Regiment of Foot, who have been bloodily engaged in hand-to-hand fighting, when he comes across a soldier lying mortally wounded in the mud. It is Private Thomas Atkins. “It’s all right, sir, all in a day’s work,” the brave soldier says just before he dies. Tommy Vance: BFBS UK on a Thursday, it’s time for an experiment on BFBS UK. What we are going to do is we are going to adopt our own group and follow their fortunes, and believe me I know, the hard world of the music industry. Now we’re not going to cheat by taking on an established group with a recording contract signed sealed and delivered. We’re starting out with The Stilettos, two days before they go into the recording studio to record their first professional demo. Now John Hastings and Tommy Atkinson are here from The Stilettos. Gentlemen, welcome to BFBS UK. The poem has five eight-line verses, the first four all conforming to a single pattern in which the first four lines, consisting of two couplets, depict some aspect of the contemptuous way in which the British soldier of the day was treated by the British civilian.
