Jack Charlton

In 1967 Charlton had a mixed time. Leeds missed out on domestic honours again and Charlton picked up an injury while playing for England in an infamous 3-2 defeat to Scotland at Wembley, during which he scored.

Geordie derives much less influence from French and Latin than does Standard English, being substantially Angle and Viking in origin. The accent and pronunciation, as in Lowland Scots, reflect old Anglo-Saxon pronunciations, accents and usages. Pronunciation of personal pronouns differs markedly from Standard English: Geordies use "yous" (IPA: /juəz/) for plural "you", "me" (/mi/) for "my", "uz" (See also:

Once part of the Roman Empire and the scene of many wars between England and Scotland, Northumberland has a long and complicated history.

Newcastle United F.C. - 1881-1939. During November 1881, the Stanley Rugby Club of South Byker decided to form an association football club. They won their first match 5-0 against Elswick Leather Works 2nd XI. Just under a year later, in October 1882, they changed their name to East End FC to avoid confusion with the cricket club in the town of Stanley, Co.Durham. Shortly after this, another Byker side, Rosewood FC, merged with East End to form an even stronger side. Meanwhile, across the city, another cri ...

The Republic of Ireland play their home matches at Lansdowne Road, Dublin. The first game played there was a friendly against Italy in 1971. The ground is due for redevelopment between 2007 and 2009 which will entail Ireland playing games at Croke Park or abroad during reconstruction. The all seater new stadium will increase seated capacity for competitive games from 36,000 to 50,000. Prior to the 1980s, the Republic of Ireland played most home games at Dalymount Park but progressively more games were played at Lansdowne following a safety review which reduced Dalymount's capacity and the la ...

Banks did not play in England's first game after the World Cup, with Ramsey electing to give his old understudy Shilton a debut against East Germany at Wembley. This would be a sign of things to come, but not for a little while. Banks would play in ten of the next 12 internationals as England tried to qualify for the 1972 European Championships but lost yet again to West Germany prior to the finals stage. During this period, Banks was also involved in a notorious incident with Manchester United's George Best who, while playing against Englan ...

In 1999, having presented the show for 37 years, along with a radio show for approximately 20 years, Byrne stepped down from fulltime broadcasting, though he remains an occasional broadcaster, returning to do such shows as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Playing at pace, Brazil were putting England under enormous pressure and an attack was begun by captain Carlos Alberto who sent a fizzing low ball down the right flank for the speedy Jairzinho to latch on to. The Brazilian winger sped past left back Terry Cooper and reached the byline. Stretching slightly, he managed to get his toes underneath the fast ball and deliver a high but dipping cross towards the far post. Banks, like all goalkeepers reliant on positional sensibility, had been at the near post and suddenly had to turn on ...
