A & Q n a F Celeb—
DECLAN LAIRD ACTOR
Klaudia Kaye / www.klaudiakaye.com
WHEN DID YOU START SUPPORTING CELTIC AND AT WHAT AGE WERE YOU?
I was around 7 or 8 I’d say. Funnily enough, my entire family are Rangers supporters. So as younger brothers do, I supported Celtic to wind up my brother. But a fascination with Henrik Larsson’s dreadlocks began to turn me into a Larsson fan and eventually a full blown Celtic fan. I have been following them religiously ever since.
AS A CELTIC FAN WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST MEMORABLE MATCH YOU’VE BEEN TO?
By far, although the result did not go our way, it has to be the UEFA Cup Final in Seville in the 2002/2003 season. Fair play to my dad, as a Rangers fan, he allowed me to bunk-off school for a few sick days and jetted me out to Spain for my birthday gift, it was an amazing experience.
WHAT ARE YOU THOUGHTS ON HOW THE CURRENT SEASON IS PROGRESSING?
We have moments of brilliant football and then moments of sheer calamity. It is frustrating. I get up at 4am for a lot of the games. I do think not having Hibs and Rangers in the league is now affecting us and the quality of the league as a whole. Hopefully with them being promoted
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
soon and champions league football qualifiers on the horizon in the future, we will be back with the swag that I am all too fond of watching us play with.
IF YOU COULD PICK FIVE PLAYERS TO RETURN TO CELTIC, WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY? Henrik Larsson - For obvious reasons. A real striker of world class level.
Bobo Balde - A no nonsense center back, who may not have been technically great, but would give everything and was very consistent.
Roy Keane - He was not fantastic at Celtic, but we got him at the end of his illustrious career. A real winner, and I would have him in my dressing room every week.
Lubo Moravcik - Technically spectacular, would do

THE COACHING NETWORK
CELTIC FC
DURING YOUR TIME AS A CELTIC FAN WHICH SEASON HAS BEEN YOUR HAPPIEST AS A FAN AND WHY?
things that I did not think were possible with a football. Celtic’s very own Ronaldinho!
Stiliyan Petrov - Showed his class when going to
England and captaining Aston Villa. A great player, and professional. Greatly missed by the fans and club.
ARE YOU EXCITED FOR THE PROSPECTS OF A CELTIC vs RANGERS DERBY NEXT SEASON?
Extremely. People in the US try to compare the games to certain American football rivalries or basketball. But I tell them that it is not even in the same world. I’ve been to about five old firm games, and they are simply electrifying, truly a sporting event that if you get the chance to experience then you must grab the ticket and run. But I will say, if you are a neutral, it’s probably best not to wear green or blue to the game.
THE COACHING NETWORK
Again, probably back to the season of the UEFA Cup Final against Porto. It is a strange season to say was my favorite. We lost to Rangers on the final day of the season on goal difference and the UEFA Cup Final the week before against Porto. But I have fond memories of watching that team. We had so many great players. Larsson, Hartson, Chris Sutton, Neil Lennon etc to name a few. And the Porto team we lost against went on to win the champions league the next year with Jose Mourinho still at the helm.

MAN CITY FC AMPUTEES
Manchester City FC Amputees is a premier limbless disability football club in the country. Providing footballing opportunities for individuals in the Greater Manchester area with amputations, congenital deficiencies & those with other limb affecting disorders. Along with 6 other amputee teams they regularly play up and down the country in the England Amputee Football Association League WHEN WAS MANCHESTER CITY AMPUTEES FORMED AND HOW WAS IT CREATED?
The Manchester Amputee Football Club was formed in 2002 and a link with Manchester City Football Club community was first established in 2003 which enabled us to wear the MCFC kit for the new national 4x4 Amputee league. MAFC was created to offer new players a way into the sport, after a poor performance at a World Cup and a realisation that we needed more players if we were ever going to improve as a national squad.
WHAT LEAGUE DO YOU PLAY IN AND WHEN?
The England Amputee Football Association runs a national league that currently has 6 football teams participating. This league meets once a month on either a regional format for just the teams in the North or South, or at a central venue where all the teams come together to play fixtures. It’s a really good system that keeps travel to a minimum and yet enables you to
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
compete against other amputees from across the country. MCFC Amputees also compete in the Manchester Pan-Disability League and the Cheshire FA Pan-Disability League. These leagues meet once a month also but have teams with a mix of disabilities.
WHAT TEAMS DO YOU PLAY AGAINST?
In the England Amputee Football Association League we play against teams representing Arsenal London FC Amputees, Everton FC Amputees, Peterborough United Amputees, Portsmouth FC Amputees and UL Sport FC Amputees (University of Limerick).
WHERE DO MAN CITY AMPUTEES PLAY THEIR HOME GAMES AND CAN SUPPORTERS WATCH?
Manchester City FC Amputees have been fortunate enough to hold our home EAFA league fixture at the new academy, spectators are always welcome, but we have held our home fixture for this season, so you may have to wait. Or you can visit us at the other local leagues in Stockport & Salford. For more details check out our facebook page at facebook.com/manchesteramputeefc

HOW CAN PEOPLE GET INVOLVED IN AMPUTEE FOOTBALL? To get involved in Amputee football you don’t actually need to be an amputee. You may also participate as with a congenital deficiency or with a limb that you don’t have a full function of. Go to the EAFA website theEAFA.co.uk where you can find details of all the club’s or amputee specific sessions being run across the country.

DAVID McCRACKEN FALKIRK
Falkirk captain David McCracken has played his whole career in central defence for teams including: Dundee Utd, Wycombe Wanderers, MK Dons & St Johnstone and has managed to notch-up over an impressive 400 league games. Here are his teammates. BEST TRAINER: Russell Martin (Norwich) – Always
well prepared before training, very consistent high levels of training and overall a model pro! And it shows as it’s helped him play at the highest level with his current club Norwich.
QUICKEST: Chris Zebrowski – Seen him burn many a player when we played at Wycombe Wanderers.
HARDMAN: Alan Mannus (St Johnstone) – The big man doesn’t come across as a hardman but he is absolutely ripped and not one to be messed with, oh and I’m sure he has done some cage fighting of some sort as well.
MOST SKILFUL: This is hard because there are a few
but most current would be Craig Sibbald at Falkirk just now, very skilful but game related as well, not all tricks and flicks but technically very good and I’ve seen him nutmeg or sit a few people down.
BEST DANCER: Myself! J although I did have a danceoff one year with Sean Higgins (Clyde FC) where he nearly ended up breaking his neck trying to do a headstand or something – haha!
FUTURE MANAGER: Mark Kerr - Always been a leader on and off the pitch but will be a very good manager and coach of the future.
BIGGEST JOKER: There has been a few to be honest,
one guy though deserves a mention is Stuart Duff, anything and everything to get a laugh from the usual Deep Heat cream in boys pants to changing car number plates, this boy could get a laugh.
LONGEST IN SHOWER: Jim McIntyre - no explanation needed – hahaha!!

The latest with
LAYLA ANNA-LEE You were the voice of the opening ceremony of London 2012. How did you prepare for such a huge event with millions watching around the world? Preparation was around three months of rehearsals and sleepless nights due to excitement and paranoia! I think the final viewing figures were around 900 million. It’s an incomprehensible amount of people. You can’t prepare for that really, you also can’t feel it – for us in the stadium it was the 80,000 in the live crowd and the noise they made took our breath away.
my friend who has just won the championship and made a pretty poor job of it. It was a very old fashioned interview that I didn’t think reflected modern mountain biking very well. My friend stuttered nervously throughout the chat and it just made him look bad too. We were both so frustrated at that interview going out that we filmed one ourselves and I sent it to the channel with a note explaining how we felt mountain biking was being misrepresented. They called me the next day and offered me a job!
You’ve also covered major cycling events on Sky Sports and Eurosport, how did you get involved? Cycling was my first sports presenting job but before that I hosted live poker tournaments on late night TV. Poker was a perfect way to train because it’s technically intensive with long hours, using autocue and talkback (the earpiece where producers can talk to presenters). Presenting poker tournaments meant I got hundreds of hours of live TV under my belt and became used the studio equipment very quickly. I always wanted to move into sports though and the opportunity arose when I was at a Mountain Biking Downhill race. A sports presenter came to interview
You’ve presented the O2 Inside Line following the England Rugby team throughout the 6 Nations and QBE Internationals. What did this involve? O2 Inside Line is a fantastic and fast paced online show about the England Rugby team. It’s access all areas, literally, and it’s the only show to have that kind of exclusive access to players during competition time. So naturally you see a very different side to them. Being that the show was filmed so close to such pivotal games we had to tread fairly carefully around Stuart Lancaster, you don’t want to interfere with the vibe before a game or distract players

from their focus. We were at training, in the hotel and even their changing rooms pre-match and post -match everywhere they went! Poor things! In 2014 you returned to Brazil for the World Cup to host Layla’s World Cup for KickTV. What was the most memorable time you had in Brazil?? Oh man this is the most impossible question to answer! Every day was an insane adventure - Brazil has so much to offer and during the World Cup it became even more vibrant & exciting. My family are Brazilian so for me it’s also home, which meant we were able to get into the thick of it and show the real Brazil, we visited the favelas most affected by the games, we filmed inside the protests and we also had a lot of fun – the juxtaposition of Brazil! The morning of the final I was handed an envelope containing ten tickets for the big game. I had less than 4 hours to find worthy holders for them. Every single person in Brazil at the time was desperate to go to that game, we decided we give one to a Germany fan and one to an Argentina fan. One to favela child and one to someone who lived right on the grounds edge but had never been inside. The race was on and it was the single most hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Everyone was so desperate to get into the game and I couldn’t decide who was more worthy! We asked how far people had travelled, whether they’ve seen any games before, we were brutally harsh but in the end chose simply based on the magic in their eyes. We hit the streets and asked people simply – Do you want to go to the final? There’s a glimmer I now recognise, it’s pure passion. We gave it to those who had that passion. Naturally there were a lot of tears. As a presenter, you’ve interviewed numerous footballing legends including Beckham, Bale, Guardiola, Kaká, and a rare interview with Messi. Who has been your most memorable and why? It’s only really when someone like you asks me a question like that that I realise quite how brilliant it’s been – you’re right, I’ve had the luxury of meeting some pretty amazing people, someone must trust me rather a lot! Messi without a doubt was a highlight and will be for most of my life I’m sure.
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
David Beckham was incredible because it was live and welcoming him on to my live show was a crazy moment. I had briefed him in his dressing room and chatted quite naturally but it was only during the live show just before I introduced him on stage that I saw him in my peripheral vision standing in the wings and it really sunk in.... then my microphone broke! It was a wonderful nightmare. Luis Suarez was another memorable interview. Straight after his World Cup biting scandal I was the only journalist allowed to talk to him about anger management. I was pretty nervous that day! What sporting events are you current preparing for, and how do you prepare for them? We have the Olympics back in Brazil and that’s the big one. Preparations really began at the last Olympics, having done London 2012 means I know what to deal with now. We’ve been researching stories we want to follow, Brazil is going through a period of great change and as a location to film it’s awesome, it gives and gives. There are many powerful story’s to tell around the Olympics. Not to mention the fact that this is a nation currently attempting to overthrow the government.

BIGGLESWADE UNITED In late October 2014 Spanish football journalist Guillem Balagué responded to an email request from Biggleswade Utd’s Chairman Chris Lewis to “Get Involved” at the club, a team playing in the Premier Division of the Spartan South Midlands Football League. Here Chris continues the fascinating footballing story. In late 2014 Spanish football journalist Guillem Balagué responded to your email to “Get Involved” at Biggleswade United. What made you email him? The drive to email Guillem with a view to him becoming part of the club was largely due to our desire to progress up the football pyramid. In order to do this, you need a number of things: experience, expertise, motivation, connections, the ability to inspire. Guillem is able to provide all these things and more. Cash can help to push you so far, but to grow in a sustainable manner, this is best done organically and Guillem is the perfect person to help us with us as his outlook is a perfect fit for the club.
undertaken. Ultimately though you never can tell what people are like until you meet them for real. Happily, everything worked out really well.
He then replied to your email after he said he was impressed with your enthusiasm and desire to drive the club forward. Did you ever expect him to reply? I hoped he would reply, as he seemed like a genuine person through watching him on TV. I knew he was interested in being involved in football outside of his paid work, having done a little research on interviews he had previously
Balagué’s immediate influence led to the signing of coach Fran Constancio to work with the first team and to develop the clubs academy. How much of a impact has Fran made since joining? Fran’s involvement has been indescribable. Not only has he bought the highest level of coaching possible to the club in his capacity with the first team, but he has basically built our new “school of football” and other community projects. Without him the club simply

Balagué accepted the role as Director of Football at Biggleswade United. What were the first couple of days like at the club after it was announced? Quite honestly, its difficult to recall the first few days, as so much has happened since he came on board. What I definitely can report was the enthusiasm from everyone at the club and the quite surprising amount of texts and calls I received after he came on board from people wanting to know if it was true or just a publicity stunt. Obviously, as time goes by we are proving to people that his involvement is definitely not a publicity stunt.

ability to interact with everyone regardless of their role at the club feeds in perfectly with our ethos. As a chairman, you have views, like anyone does, but he is so knowledgeable and inspires so much confidence that I cant question what he does, because he is so good at what he does. I really do hope he is with us for a long long time, as much as anything because he’s a wonderful person.
would not be what it is now and what it will be in the future. He is an extremely committed individual and his work with the club goes way beyond what is expected. But that’s the sort of person Fran is, he’s a credit to the club and an example to all coaches.
For the 2015/16 season Cristian Colás was appointed head coach of the club. He’s coached in Spain and Finland, you must of been thrilled when he agreed to join you? Having Cristian as the Head Coach is the perfect fit for us and I am genuinely so happy so is with us. His coaching is second to none and you always feel confident when he is standing on the side line. He inspires a real sense of reassurance, which for everyone at the club is a great comfort as you know that every angle has been covered. That is rare in coaching, as so many coaches just do what they feel comfortable with. Not so with Cristian, he always wants to learn and grow and that drives everyone else on to better themselves, which pushes the club forward. If any issues arise you know they will be dealt with properly, which means I never have to worry and can let the coaches just get on and do what they do. Not only this but his
THE COACHING NETWORK
In February 2016 former Chelsea, Barcelona and PSG Star Enrique de Lucas joined the club. How did that deal come around? It was Guillem that brought Enrique on board. At the time, he said he was working on something... and when Guillem says that to you, in my experience, its not normally something trivial! So when he broke the news live on Sky Sports - Transfer Deadline Day, it was a real moment. Our social media accounts went crazy. Having Enrique as part of the club is great, especially for the players to learn from. He fits in so well, you wouldn’t think he’s played for the biggest clubs in the world, there is no ego with him, he is such a pro and a really nice guy. With only a few months to go until the end of the season, how is your season going and what plans do you have for the club’s future ? This season has gone well overall. We had a very very slow start to the season. We were playing well but just not getting results. I think it took a little time for the players and coaches to gel and adjust to a whole new situation. Either way the team is really starting to progress now, which is on plan. Our club is all about coaching and development, so our plans center around developing players, whether adults or youth. We will improve as a club by coaching and not by buying in talent. To this end we have just announced our partnership with Stevenage FC for an Elite Development Program. This is something we are really exicited about and reinforces our desire to coach and develop not just quality footballers, but people.

RAMÓN CALDERÓN FORMER REAL MADRID PRESIDENT As Real Madrid’s President he brought glory back to the club, here he gives us an insight into his time at the club and his thoughts on the managerial appointment of Real legend Zinedine Zidane. On 2nd July 2006 you were elected President of Real Madrid winning the election with 8,344 votes. What were your memories of your first days at the club? Not easy ones. I came to a Club that, in the previous three years, hadn’t won a single title. The first time had happened in the whole history of Real Madrid. We managed to change 14 players and we won 2 La Liga titles in a row. The last one with 18 points ahead of Barcelona, the team at that time had many players that are still at the club now (Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Valdes etc).
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
You appointed Fabio Capello as club manager after initially considering Bernd Schuster. What made you choose Fabio over Bernd? When I was President the football decisions were always made, always, by professionals (Mijatovic, Baldini and Bucero) and they considered that as the best option. In 2007 you signed Arjen Robben from Chelsea but sadly missed out on the signings of Cesc Fabregas from Arsenal and Kaka from Milan. What were the reasons for them two deals not being successful? We couldn’t do it. Fabregas wanted to come back to Barcelona and Kaká to remain in Milan

I came to a Club that, in the previous three years, hadn’t won a single title. The first time that happened in the whole history of Real Madrid. We managed to change 14 players and we won 2 La Liga titles in a row. The last one with 18 points ahead of Barcelona, the team at that time had many players that are still at the club now Before the start of the 2008/09 season you tried to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United but wasn’t successful at the time. What was the reason for Cristiano’s move not being successful at that time? He told me he wanted to stay at Manchester United that season, and promised to come the next one. He kept his promise. In 2009 you resigned as Real Madrid’s President. If you could go back in time is there anything you would change and if so why? You always make mistakes in life but I prefer to remember the good memories. It was very important to be able to instill in the players the principle that without sacrifice, endeavour and hard work is difficult to get successes. We got rid of the “Galacticos” culture. To think that money can buy and guarantee success was a big mistake. You then later signed Mahamadrou Diarra, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and a year long loan for Jose Antonio Reyes from Arsenal. Out of the three huge signings in that pre-season, who would you say was the most successful signing and why? Apart from them we also signed Marcelo, Pepe, Fabio Cannavaro, Gonzalo Higuaín and, at the end of 2008, Cristiano Ronaldo – the best signing in the last decades according to his performances. It was very difficult to convince Manchester United but finally with the help of the firm decision of the player, we got it.
THE COACHING NETWORK
Since leaving Real Madrid in 2009, what have you been doing to fill your time away from football I keep working in my law office as I’ve doing it for the past 40 years. Zinedine Zidane was appointed the manager of Real Madrid in 2016. If you were still president would you have made the same appointment or chosen the likes of Jose Mourinho or Laurent Blanc? As I did in my time as President, I would’ve relied on the advice of the professionals. Now the Club has no football manager and that is why the decisions are made in a whimsical way.

What were your memories building up to the game and how did you prepare for your first professional match? I was obviously very nervous about making my debut especially against the calibre of players I was playing against the likes of Kevin Campbell and Pierre van Hooijdonk, quality players at the time. The preparation was a bit strange for me as the manager at the time, John Aldridge instructed all the players to be in the bar after dinner, as soon as I arrived I was told we can all have a few pints, as you could imagine I thought this was a set-up of some sort.
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
But he allowed us all to have a few pints and relax and take our minds off what was such a big fixture for us. It must of worked because we came away with a very good point in the end. I can’t see many teams preparing like that these days. In 2000 you were in the Rovers team which played Leicester City in the League Cup Final, unfortunately you were sent-off and lost the game 2-1. What went through your head when walked down the tunnel early? I was devastated after that game and felt like I let a lot of people down, it also robbed me of the chance to walk up the famous Wembley steps which hurt a lot. Luckily I managed to rectify that and do it with QPR after our play off final win, which exorcised a lot of demons for me.

In 2002 you moved to Oldham Athletic, where you played 17 games before your season was cut short when you broke your leg during a League Cup tie against Crystal Palace. How frustrating was it being sidelined for a long period of time? It was a tough one to take because I had just joined Oldham and we had a good team that was enjoying a good start to the season, so for me to miss a large part of that was difficult. It was also my first real serious injury so I was concerned about if it would ever recover properly. During the summer of 2003 you joined Stoke City. But your first season was disrupted with injuries, which meant you had to sit a lot of your first season with the potters out. How did you keep yourself motivated to get back onto the pitch after only just recovering from a broken leg? I still had a few ankle issues from the result of my broken leg and when I joined Stoke that pre-season I hadn’t really recovered from the leg break. So that season was a constant fitness battle trying to sort the ankle issues out. Obviously I had just signed for a new club and I couldn’t play due to injuries, and it was frustrating the hell out of me because all I wanted to do was play and prove myself. I suppose that was my motivation during it all to keep working hard in the gym and to try and get back as quick and as fit as I could.
Playing with someone like Michael Duberry was a great experience for me, he had played for some big teams in England and had started to become a fan’s favourite at Stoke due to his impressive performances. I think looking back we were both vocal on the pitch and we liked to be competitive in games which helped us as a partnership. After an impressive two month loan at Crystal Palace, Neil Warnock brought you to the club on a permanent deal. You established yourself as first choice left-back and became a fans favourite. How good was it to be back playing week-in, week-out? I think that move to Palace and getting the chance to work with Neil Warnock was a Godsend for me. It gave me back the love for the game that I started to miss by not playing and being involved at Stoke. It was a great club to go to at the time and it gave me a new challenge and a change of scenery that I was desperate for.
During your second season with Stoke City you became a fan favourite and won the club’s Player of the Season for 2004/05. This must of given you a huge boost following numerous injuries? It was a great year for me on a personal level. I played most of that season without any injury concerns and got a good run in the team, which gave me a lot of confidence. It felt good to play without any pain which was a massive bonus for me at the time.
After two seasons at Palace you made the play-off semi-finals, unfortunately in the next season the club were hit by financial trouble and finished 21st in the league. As players was it a hard situation to play in? We were travelling up to Newcastle for a game, when we got off the plane everyone’s phones started going off with text messages. We heard we had been deducted 10 points and placed into administration, we where doing OK in the league up to that point and had a chance of maybe nicking a play-off spot again, but now we had to face a relegation battle . Then we had to sell players for the club to pay the wages of all the employees, people behind the scenes where losing there jobs it was a really horrible situation to be involved in. Luckily we managed to stay up that season which was a massive achievement by everybody involved at the club.
You damaged your anterior cruciate ligament near the end of the 04/05 season which prevented you playing until late into 05/06 season. Following your return, you made an immediate impact to the team linking up with Michael Duberry. Why did you and Michael have such a strong partnership?
On 1st July 2010 you left Palace to join Queens Park Rangers and be reunited with former boss Neil Warnock. How good was it to be reunited with him? I was delighted to be working with Neil again, I really enjoyed working with him at Palace so it was a no brainier for me when he asked me to join QPR.

After QPR sealed the Championship title, it meant that you’d play in the premier league for the first time in your career. Following all the injures in your career, how good did it feel to win promotion to the Premier League? It was unbelievable we were a team that was thrown together in pre-season and not really given much of a chance that season. But as a team we clicked straight away. That team had everything you needed to succeed in the championship and it was a pleasure to play and be involved with. Following a quick loan spell at Nottingham Forest and the appointment of Mark Hughes, you became a regular in defence with Anton Ferdinand. How much did you enjoy your partnership with Anton? I enjoyed playing with Anton, we took some punishment that season but the last 5 or 6 games we all pulled out some amazing performances and wins to secure our place in the top flight. On 10th March 2012, you were denied your first Premier League goal, away to relegation rivals Bolton Wanderers but the ball clearly crossed the line. How annoying was it that the linesman failed to see it and it not counting as your first goal? I couldn’t believe that nobody had seen the ball 2/3 yards over the line before the keeper got his arm to it. I ran-off thinking that I had finally scored a goal in the top flight, it was a hard one to take. On the final day of the 11/12 season, QPR survived relegation from the Premier League. You played in one of the most memorable games in league history with Sergio Aguero scoring in the last minutes to win the Premier League for Man City. What are you memories of the game? I remember getting battered for 80+ minutes and somehow we were still winning. Then they threw on every striker they had at there disposal, Ballotelli, Džeko, Aguero and Tevez and I was thinking, wow, how are we gonna get through this. I didn’t know at the time when Aguero scored the winner that we were safe, I thought we had blown it and we were relegated but luckily enough my old team Stoke had done us a favour.
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
In the 12/13 season Harry Redknapp made you captain taking over from Park Ji-sung. How proud was you to captain QPR in the premier league? I felt immensely proud of being made captain and especially to get it off someone like Harry Redknapp. Following relegation from the Premier League, you then captained QPR in the play-off final beating Derby 1-0. What are your memories of winning promotion to the Premier League at Wembley? The actual game and everything that came with it before hand I didn’t enjoy to be honest, just because I knew how important it was for the club, fans and owners that we win, the pressure was huge and I was relieved when the final whistle went at the end. It was as a big moment in my career to lift that trophy at Wembley and to put all the bad memories of my last time there to rest. My mum and dad were there as well to see it which was very important for me. Your now 37, how long do you feel you can keep playing and will you move into coaching eventually? I have been very lucky to have 20 years in this game and to still be playing now at 37 has to be one of my best achievements. I’m still fit and strong so I’d love to carry on playing if the opportunity arose for next season. I’ve done my coaching badges as well and it’s something I’m desperate to get my teeth into when I do retire.

After serving two tours in Iraq as a Marine and representing the U.S. in the 2012 Olympics, Jamel Herring is now storming up the 135-pound ranks. Here we get the low-down with “Semper Fi”
JAMEL HERRING HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTO BOXING?
I got into boxing back in 2001 thanks to a close friend of mine, Ashantie Hendrickson who invited me down to the gym.
WHO IN YOUR OPINION ARE THE TOP 3 BOXERS EVER?
Unsung hero? That honor would go to my mother, she’s my biggest fan, and behind the scenes trainer. She can be a headache at times but she only wants the best for me!
more importantly his ring IQ was incredible.
2. OSCAR DE LA HOYA - was willing to fight anyone who challenged him no matter what.
3. FLOYD MAYWEATHER - one of the best defensive
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR GREATEST FIGHT AND WHY?
sound boxers ever, next to Pernell Whitaker.
Boxing definitely changed my life. It helped me grow as a man more importantly next to my Marine Corps career, both inside and out of the ring.
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
As a kid I idolized my father. He was an Army veteran and taught me so much on life overall. Til this day I consider him more of a best friend than father at times.
WHO IN YOUR CAREER HAS BEEN UNSUNG HERO?
1. RAY ROBINSON - had it all from speed, to power, and
DID BOXING CHANGE YOUR LIFE?
WHO DID YOU IDOLISE AS A CHILD AND WHY?
My greatest fight so far would have to be my last fight against Luis Eduardo Flores. I say that because it shows that I’m still growing and getting better as a fighter, and not to mention Flores was supposed to be my toughest test, yet I blew him out the water.
22
THE COACHING NETWORK
WHO DO YOU WANT TO FACE IN 2016 AND WHY?
I don’t really have anyone on the radar this year because I’m trying to work my way up towards a world title but I’ve been keeping my eyes on everyone from 130 lbs and up. I’m debating if I should move down another weight class and make a run there, but if possible I’d like to fight Rocky Martinez if he passes his next or, one of the champions at 135 who come out of the U.K. The U.K. right now looks great in boxing so why not!?
WHO DO YOU RATE POTENTIAL TOP 3 BOXERS FOR THE FUTURE AND WHY?
Top 3 boxers for the future other than myself J I’d say are...
1. TERENCE CRAWFORD - you just gotta love what he
does. He boxes beautifully and he’s becoming a big name in the sport right now.
2. ERROL SPENCE - he has all the right tools and was
one of the best to come out of my Olympic class. If he grabs a world title this year it’ll be huge!
3. JOSEPH DIAZ - another Olympic teammate of mine
who has class and charisma behind him. He’s stepping up to another big challenge soon and if he passes that test, I guarantee he’ll be a world champion soon.
WHO HAS HIT YOU THE HARDEST?
I’d say Adrien Broner and Errol Spence have hit me the hardest honestly and that was during a sparring sessions. I honestly spar bigger guys so I can at times walk through my opponents when it’s to fight. I think of it more as a mental edge.
DO YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS?
No regrets really. I mean sometimes I wish I started my pro career a little earlier but at the same time I was busy defending my country and there’s nothing wrong with that.
WHAT FIGHT DO YOU WANT TO SEE NEXT AND WHY?
From a fans view, I’d like to see Canelo vs Golovkin. It’s the biggest fight at this point and time honestly, and if you want to be considered the legitimate middleweight champion of the world, fight a legitimate middleweight champion to prove that point.
THE COACHING NETWORK
BOXERS ARE KNOWN FOR JABS, HOOKS, POWER, SPEED, DEFENSE, CHINS, STAMINA, ETC. WHO HAD THE MOST WEAPONS IN THEIR ARSENAL?
Who had the most weapons in their arsenal? Man that’s a tough one but I’d go with one of my favorites and say Pernell Whitaker. He jab and boxed Chavez in their fight, used great lateral movement to get away, his speed was definitely on point that night, took a lot of heavy blows to the chin from Chavez at times, and overall boxed a smart fight. He’s actually one of the fighters I try to take things from since we’re both southpaws and like to move. I also watch a lot of Ronald Winky Wright footage but like I was say, Pernell had all the tools of a champion.

MIKE STOWELL GOALKEEPING COACH Goalkeeper, Mike Stowell, enjoyed a successful playing career before hanging up his gloves to move into coaching. He joined Leicester City as goalkeeping coach in 2005 and during his time at the King Power has nurtured multiple top keepers over the years. WHAT WERE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF YOUR IMPRESSIVE 20 YEAR PLAYING CAREER?
Highlights of my playing career, that’s a difficult question – but generally playing over a sustained period of time week-in week-out was a great satisfaction, being at Everton learning my trade under Neville Southall during the club’s successful period and playing the most games as a goalkeeper in Wolverhampton Wanderers history.
WHICH WAS YOUR FAVOURITE CLUB TO PLAY FOR? My favourite club was Wolves, I played 447 times for them over and 11 year period.
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
INTERVIEW BY:
Izzy Keighley / @izzy_keighley
WAS IT ALWAYS YOUR PLAN TO MOVE INTO COACHING AFTER RETIRING FROM PLAYING FOOTBALL? I was interested in coaching all through my playing career and did all my coaching badges whilst playing, both outfield and goalkeeping courses, I am a qualified A licence outfield and goalkeeper coach. I became player coach at the age of 38 at Bristol City before retiring at 40. I then went straight to Leicester City in 2005 as the club’s goalkeeping coach and have been here ever since!

AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF LEICESTER’S RISE THIS SEASON, WHAT’S BEEN THE SECRET TO SUCCESS?
Conrad Logan
Our success this season I will put down to momentum from last season plus key signings and a fantastic team spirit backed up by a great coaching staff.
HOW HAVE CLAUDIO RANIERI’S ITALIAN TACTICS AND STRATEGY HAD AN EFFECT ON THE TEAM?
Claudio has brought to the club an increased mentality to studying opposition through video work and an attention to detail.
DO YOU AGREE IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE PLAYERS TO HAVE TWO DAYS OFF A WEEK? Kasper Schmeichel
2 days off all depends on the schedule but we like to have a 2 day lead into games, it was successful for us when Nigel Pearson was at the club and Claudio has embraced that.
WHICH GOALKEEPING DRILLS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR GRASSROOTS COACHES TO USE?
Their are so many goalkeeping drills out there but what I would always encourage and implement is realistic scenarios, for example when training always re-enact match situations and make them high tempo, we always put rebounds back in and play til the ball is dead. We also always train together, all levels and push each other.
LASTLY, WILL LEICESTER BE HOLDING THE PREMIER LEAGUE TROPHY THIS YEAR? I will answer last question on 15 May !!

DAVID FORSYTH SCOTLAND & QUI VIVE HOCKEY PLAYER 1
YOU STARTED PLAYING HOCKEY FROM THE AGE OF 4, WHAT ARE YOUR EARLY MEMORIES?
With Hockey running through the veins of the Forsyth family, it was inevitable that David and his brother Alan would both play the sport at the highest level, here David shares his story.
and went to watch my Mum’s Europeans with Western Ladies so I’ve really been brought up with the game.
Starting at such a young age I only had practice once per week at Kelburne H.C on the grass fields and in the afternoon I’d go along to watch my Mum or Dad play in their match. On Sunday’s we played in junior festivals either at Kelburne or other clubs around Glasgow.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT IN HOCKEY SO FAR AND WHY?

4
WHAT ARE YOUR GREATEST AMBITIONS FOR YOUR FUTURE IN HOCKEY?
YOU COME FROM A HOCKEY BACKGROUND. WHO IN YOUR FAMILY GOT YOU INTO HOCKEY?
To be honest I was so young I can’t say, I’m sure it was a mutual decision that I would go along. Even from before I started playing for Kelburne I always went to watch my parents and I’d run around with my hockey stick at their games. I think my first competition I went to was when I was 9 weeks old
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
My biggest achievement to date is playing in the home Commonwealth Games in Glasgow 2014. It was a great experience but I wish we performed a bit better.
My ambition is to play in a A division European Cup with Scotland, meaning we have to finish in the Top 2 in the European B division in 2017. Another goal is the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games, my only concern is funding which may jeopardise our chances of going but if we do our goal would be to finish in the top 6.

OUT OF ALL THE GAMES IN YOUR CAREER WHICH IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE AND WHY?
I have a few good and bad, lets start with the bad because it still haunts me. Last year, Friday 24th July was the European Championships Semi-Final against Austria, if we won we would gain promotion to the A division for the first time in over 10 years. We were drawing 1-1 and we scored to make it 2-1 but the umpire disallowed the goal which brought great frustration to the team. After the final whistle we went to shoot-outs, which we lost 3-1, meaning we didn’t get the promotion we really thought we deserved. I’ve never seen so many boys in the team so disappointed, it was devastating. The worst feeling I’ve ever had at a hockey game and I still feel how disappointing it was today as I did that day but everytime I train now I’m determined never to feel
THE COACHING NETWORK
that way again and when I’m doing a running session in the wind and rain when I’m tired and I’m ready to quit that game always comes into my head and it pushes me harder so I don’t feel that again in 2017. My most memorable game is either my Senior debut at Stirling in 2010 or the first game of Glasgow 2014 against South Africa – walking out to a crowd of 6000 for the first time was incredible and I had the same feeling every game of that tournament. I don’t think I’ll ever play in front of a home crowd like that again in my career. I’m hoping I still have time to make more memorable games and that they give me happier memories.

LIFE IN THE NON-LEAGUE Tamworth FC sports therapist Kieran Berry shares with us the challenges of player rehabilitation at a Non-League club, compared to those playing in the Premiership, but believes the experience you gain at a lower level could improve you as a therapist in the long run.
W
ith all the high profile injuries that have occurred in top-flight football this season, it has enlightened me to express the differences and issues that arise when such things happen in Non-League football. Most recently we have all seen the plight that Liverpool FC have suffered with hamstring injuries (5 players) and the effect it has had upon their squad numbers. Fortunately for themselves and most other Premier League clubs they have exposure to state of the art facilities and MRI Scans to give the highest quality of rehabilitation programs. This is a complete contrast in relation to Non-League football, which until you have experienced it can become unknown to other therapists as their vision of what medical care is like throughout the leagues and the reality are incomparable.
ISSUE 04 - APRIL 2016
While your Premier League players are looked after with equipment such as a Cryo-Cuff machines, given substantial rest and daily treatments, the Non-League player will be driving themselves home the same day and most likely not resting due to them having other working commitments. The question you may now ask is “How is it ethically possible to rehabilitate athletes who can’t precisely rest due to external factors?”. Most books on the subject of physiotherapy and fitness will tell you that the athlete has to rest in the acute phase of injury to enable a quicker return. Although I agree 100% with this, it’s pretty much impossible to enable this at Non-League level so adaptability is the key to a successful return which may at times be the complete opposite to what research and books tell you. Otherwise how else will you get a Non-League player recovering from a hamstring back to fitness when they have another job??

Most books on the subject of physiotherapy and fitness will tell you that an athlete has to rest in the acute phase of injury to enable a quicker return. Although I agree 100% with this, it’s pretty much impossible to enable this at Non-League level so adaptability is the key to a successful return which may at times be the complete opposite to what research and books tell you.
In my early stages of being a graduate sports therapist I used to get very confused and frustrated when my treatments didn’t get the expected outcome in relation to books and online journals and in all honesty questioned my capabilities. The penny soon dropped when I acknowledged that I’d only see these players 2/3 times a week for a maximum of 2 hours each time, in comparison to Premier League medical staff and journals experiments who are able to treat their athletes every day and control what their doing. I soon realized that I couldn’t compare my outcomes to that of what I aspire to become and actually take it step-by-step because how am I to know if the athlete is doing their recommended exercises or resting as they should be. On the other hand to this, plying your trade at Non-League level is vital towards your development as a therapist because it forces you at times to
THE COACHING NETWORK
think on your feet and find other ways of getting the positive outcomes, which is something that I feel has enhanced my practical ability. Not at every club/clinic/event are you going to have the luxury of having every piece of equipment you need, so what are you going to do? Will you just stop the assessment/treatment/rehab? These are the possible challenges you will find when working at this level but overall will make you a more superior therapist and I’d highly advise all students and those who want to get into football to start at Non-League level so they can understand the true foundations of being a sports therapist. The reason why I say this is because my current medical team (5 members) are all sports therapy students and the improvement that I’ve seen in them all from the start of the season is brilliant and I can see the confidence upsurge, which overall will help them with their education back at university. Please be aware most clubs may only want you to come in on a voluntary level but don’t let that stop you from going to these Non-League clubs because the experience you can gain from doing work for them is priceless and will put you on a platform for future employability.
