 several years he had to play understudy to England's regular keeper, <mask>. When Seaman was dropped after making a mistake against FYR Macedonia in 2002, <mask> became the new England number one. He retained his place in the England team even after West Ham's relegation to the First Division in 2003, and was the only player from outside the top flight to win an England cap between 1999 (Michael Gray) and 2007 (<mask>t).He went on to play in all of England's matches at Euro 2004. <mask> was dropped from the starting XI, his place being taken by Tottenham's Paul Robinson. <mask> came on as a half-time substitute and conceded all four goals in the 4–1 drubbing England suffered at the hands of Denmark during a friendly on 17 August 2005 – their worst defeat in 25 years. <mask> still remained part of the England squad, and was selected as the second-choice goalkeeper behind Robinson for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, though he did not play. Along with fellow veterans <mask> and Sol Campbell, <mask> was dropped from the England squad at the start of Steve McClaren's reign and was not called up during the 2006–07 season. He was recalled for the friendly with Germany on 22 August 2007, over a year since first being omitted. <mask> played the whole of the second half of England's 2–1 defeat to Germany as a substitute for Robinson.In so doing, he became the first Portsmouth player to play for the senior England team since Mark Hateley in 1984. However, Scott Carson was chosen ahead of both <mask> and Robinson for the decisive Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia on 21 November 2007. England lost the match 2-3, partly due to a fumble by Carson, which gifted Croatia the game's opening goal. Following England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008 McClaren was sacked as England manager and replaced by Fabio Capello. <mask> was subsequently critical of McClaren's treatment of England's goalkeepers. On 7 February 2008, <mask> was selected as goalkeeper for Capello's first match in charge, a friendly against Switzerland. It was his first start for England since a friendly with Colombia in May 2005.<mask> firmly re-established himself as England's first choice goalkeeper, starting in each of Capello's first 13 games in charge. Persistent injury problems over the following year left <mask>' hopes of retaining the No. 1 spot for the 2010 World Cup in doubt, with Capello stating he would only consider players who were 100% fit for his squad. After the World Cup qualifier against Ukraine on 1 April 2009, <mask> did not start a match for England until the final friendly before the World Cup against Japan on 30 May 2010. 2010 World Cup
Prior to the tournament, <mask> was backed to reclaim the number one shirt by former England goalkeepers Gordon Banks and <mask>. On 3 June 2010, it was confirmed that <mask> would be travelling to the World Cup Finals in South Africa, and would be allocated the number 1 jersey. He was the oldest footballer in the tournament.<mask> was not selected for the first game of the World Cup against the United States, with Robert Green instead starting in the England goal. However, Green made an error that allowed Clint Dempsey to score an equaliser that resulted in the game being drawn. <mask> returned to the starting line-up in the next game, keeping a clean sheet against Algeria on 18 June 2010. In doing so <mask> became the oldest ever World Cup debutant at 39 years and 321 days old. Five days later, he kept another clean sheet as England won against Slovenia 1–0 to ensure that they would reach the last 16, although they finished second in Group C behind the United States. They were eliminated in the following round after a 4–1 defeat to Germany. Coaching career
Commenting on the comparatively low numbers of black players who become managers in English football, <mask> said in 2012 that "I struggle with the racist issue in football because I don't see it, and that's not because I've got my head in the sand.In the earlier days, yes, but the game's changed...If you don't want to go, an [sic] moan about not getting jobs, well, probably because you haven't been on the course is the reason why you haven't got a job." ÍBV
James served as a player-coach for manager Hermann Hreiðarsson at ÍBV in the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild karla during the 2013 season. Luton Town
Following his stint at ÍBV, <mask> joined Luton Town in October 2013 in a coaching capacity in order to gain experience towards a UEFA A-licence qualification. Kerala Blasters FC

In the playoffs, extra time was needed to see off Chennaiyin 4–3 on aggregate, taking <mask> and Kerala Blasters to the 2014 Indian Super League final, only to lose 1–0 to Atlético de Kolkata. <mask> left the club at the end of his contract.<mask> returned to the helm of the club as their head coach a day after the sacking of Rene Meulensteen on 3 January 2018, following a string of poor performances. He set about rebuilding the side in the January transfer window, releasing Mark Sifneos and signing Iceland international midfielder Guðjón Baldvinsson on loan from Stjarnan, along with appointing former Portsmouth teammate Hermann Hreiðarsson as his assistant. Despite overseeing a turnaround in form, he could only guide the Blasters to 6th place at the end the 2017–18 Indian Super League season, missing out on the play-offs. The club started the 2018–19 Indian Super League season with a victory, beating ATK 2–0 at Salt Lake Stadium.

<mask> (, born 27 November 1944) is the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council of Israel, and the chief editor of the Halacha Brura and Berur Halacha Institute. Biography
<mask> was born in 1944 in Tel Aviv, and studied at the HaYishuv HaChadash yeshiva, led by Rabbi Yehuda Kolodetsky. <mask> then moved to the Hebron Yeshiva in Jerusalem, and after a short while to the Mercaz HaRav Kook yeshiva, following his rabbi who served as its head, Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook. After <mask> married, he commenced his studies for dayanut, Jewish-religious judgeship, in the Tel Aviv kolel of Rabbi Ephraim Bordiansky, who also instructed Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach. <mask> fought in the Six-Day War in the Combat Engineering Corps, and in the Yom Kippur War. Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook appointed <mask> and Rabbi Yochanan Fried to establish the Halacha Brura and Berur Halacha Institution, which <mask> has since run. The Halacha Brura was one of the chief works of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the father of Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook.The institution is known for its method of Talmud study, first developed by Rabbi A.I. Kook, in which the final Halachic opinion of Maimonides and the Shulchan Aruch is summarized, alongside the approaches of other commentaries. Following the passing of Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook in 1982, <mask> was appointed as lecturer in the Mercaz HaRav Kook yeshiva. He also lectures in other yeshivas, including Yeshivat HaKotel, Yeshivat Kiryat Shmona, Yeshivat Or Etzion, and Yeshivat Hesder Petah Tikva. <mask> was the head of Hadrom high school yeshiva in Rehovot, and was  one of the founders of the Ma'aleh School of Television, Film and the Arts for the religious-national sector in 1989. In addition, he has been instrumental in the organization of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook's House in Jerusalem, an active museum of Rabbi Kook's life, and in the establishment of the Merchavim Institute for training teachers and religious educators. Over the years, <mask> has written hundreds of Halachic responsa and religious-philosophical articles regarding Jewish thought.Alongside his religious and educational activities, he serves as congregational rabbi at the Har Horev synagogue in the Katamon neighborhood in Jerusalem. Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem
Rabbi <mask> was elected Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem on 22 October 2014. The position had been vacant for eleven years, following the passing of the former Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, Rabbi Yitzhak Kolitzm in 2003. <mask> was elected by a majority vote of 27 of the 48 representatives from the city's synagogues, city councils, and voters appointed by Naftali Bennett. He had been elected the candidate of the Religious Zionism sector in 2009. He faced a series of obstacles by political opponents, including motions in the Supreme Court to disqualify him from running due to an expired rabbinical certificate, and an attempt to postpone the elections until after his seventieth birth day when he would become ineligible to submit his candidacy. <mask>'s election was backed by Ministry of Religious Services minister, Naftali Bennett, leader of the Bayit Yehudi party, and by Jerusalem mayor, Nir Barkat.Alongside <mask>, Rabbi Shlomo Amar was elected as the Sephardic Chief Rabbi of the city. Among the  supporters of <mask> were rabbis Haim Drukman and Aharon Lichtenstein, two prominent leaders of the modern-orthodox in Israel, the Rebbe of Erlau, a member of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah, and Rabbi Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron, former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel. The rabbis of Tzohar also supported <mask>. Upon his election, Rabbi <mask> said, "It is in my intention to serve as the rabbi of all Jerusalemites: secular, modern-orthodox and charedi alike. The Jerusalem rabbinate is a great merit, but it also comprises a hefty responsibility. I will make sure that the religious services will become accessible and friendly and will serve as an outstanding model for all of the other rabbinates in Israel". On 28 December 2014, <mask> was appointed by President Reuven Rivlin as a member of the Chief Rabbinate Council of Israel.Positions

Rabbi <mask> pledged that as the rabbi of Jerusalem he would organize kiddushim for religious and secular people, held once a month in synagogues around Jerusalem after the prayers. He opposes cultural-religious segregation of sectors where each sector lives in their own neighborhood, and supports the establishment of mixed neighbourhoods of both religious and non-religious. He has said that he is interested in returning the kashrut level in Jerusalem to its status fifty years ago, when it was perceived as very mehudar (referring to mehadrin: the highest standard of kashrut). He has been proactive in checking kashrut and addressing corruption in the Jerusalem Religious Council to improve supervision. With regard to the place of women in prayers, he said: "In the world I knew from the times of my mother and my grandmother, there was no such demand, and it was also apparent in the posekim of the time. Our grandmothers did not want it. Today, however, the situation is different, and one cannot claim old arguments exercised in past generations... it is clear that one needs to renew things, basing it on the Halakha, of course".That is why he supported  expanding the Women's Gallery at the Western Wall to the same size of the men's section, and also allowed placing a Sefer Torah in the women's gallery at the times of hakafot (encirclements at the synagogue) on Simchat Torah. Regarding acceptance of religious homosexual couples, he said he would accept them at his synagogue, in the same way he accepts Shabbat violators, though he would not appoint them as congregational cantors. He opposes the Pride parade in Jerusalem. He has called to abolish the Talmud and Torah matriculation exams. References

<mask> (born February 29, 1980) is a retired American international soccer player who played professionally from 1999 to 2009. He now works in the media as a soccer television commentator. Twellman is best known for his play with the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer (MLS) from 2002 to 2009, during which time he scored more goals in MLS than any other player. He was the youngest player to score 100 goals in MLS in 2009 at the age of 29, and is New England's all-time leading goal scorer. Twellman was a five-time MLS all-star and in 2005 was the league MVP. Twellman also earned 30 caps for the United States national team, scoring 6 international goals. Twellman has been active since his retirement in promoting awareness of concussions and working in the media.He currently works as a color commentator for ESPN/ABC. Youth and college
<mask> was raised in St. Louis, Missouri, and attended Saint Louis University High School (SLUH), where he was an all-star athlete in American football, basketball, soccer, and baseball, in which he was offered a contract by the Kansas City Royals. After graduating from SLUH in 1998, Twellman rejected the offer, electing to play soccer at Maryland on an athletic scholarship. At Maryland, Twellman played soccer in 1998 and 1999; in 1998 Twellman was named a second-team All American for the squad, and in his sophomore 1999 season he finished as a runner-up for both the Hermann Trophy and the MAC Player of the Year Award. After only two seasons with the Terrapins, Twellman left college to turn professional. Professional career
In 2000, Twellman signed with German Bundesliga club 1860 Munich. He spent two years with the team, but played for the reserve team in Division III, and never played above the reserve level.<mask> returned to the U.S. when he was drafted second overall by the New England Revolution in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft. In <mask>'s first season in MLS, he established himself as one of the best players in the league, scoring 23 goals. He finished second in league MVP voting, and was named to the 2002 MLS Best XI. In the 2003 season, despite being beset by a number of injuries, <mask> finished tied with Carlos Ruiz of the L.A. Galaxy for top goalscorer of the league with 15. His production went down in 2004, as he ended up with just nine goals. <mask>'s best MLS season came in 2005, winning both the Major League Soccer MVP Award and MLS Golden Boot, and finishing the regular season with 17 goals. He was also named to the 2005 MLS Best XI.Twellman was the target of transfer talk when Odd Grenland of Norway reportedly made a $1.2 million bid for him, which MLS rejected. In February 2007, New England announced they had signed Twellman to a four-year contract, reportedly worth $5 million. In 2007, Twellman won his first title with the Revolution: the US Open Cup, a season in which he finished third in MLS in goals scored. The Revolution also won the Eastern Conference title, with Twellman scoring a spectacular bicycle kick against the Chicago Fire to secure the Revs' spot in the 2007 MLS Cup. Twellman scored the opening goal of the 2007 MLS Cup against Houston Dynamo. However, this would be New England's only goal as they would go on to lose their third straight MLS Cup by a score of 2–1. In January 2008, English Championship team Preston North End attempted to entice Major League Soccer and the New England Revolution to sell Twellman.Preston initially advanced an offer of $1.7 million, but MLS and the team rejected that offer, rejected another offer of $2.5 million, and then rejected another bid for $3 to $3.5 million, which would have been the fourth highest and possibly the second highest transfer fee in MLS history to date. Injuries and retirement
Twellman suffered a neck injury and a serious concussion from a mid-air collision against Los Angeles Galaxy goalkeeper Steve Cronin on August 30, 2008. Twellman played the rest of the 2008 season, but due to lingering symptoms from his whiplash and concussion, he played only two games in 2009. Twellman had planned to make his return during the 2010 season, but he was unable to play that season and was placed on the season-ending injury list. After struggling to find any playing time over the past three seasons in MLS due to his head injury, Twellman announced his retirement from the game at the end of the 2010 MLS season. International career
Twellman began his involvement with the U.S. national program at youth level with the U-17 and U-20 squads. He first gained professional attention after scoring four goals for the U-20 national team at the 1999 World Youth Championship while still playing with the University of Maryland.He also represented the United States at the 1999 Pan American Games. After establishing himself in MLS, Twellman made his first appearance with the senior U.S. national team on November 17, 2002 against El Salvador. He struggled to score his first international goal, having several apparent goals waved off for offside infractions. He finally scored against Panama in a World Cup qualifier on October 12, 2005. He improved his chances for a spot on the 2006 World Cup team in a friendly against Norway on January 29, 2006. In the game, he scored the ninth hat trick in U.S. national team history, but was ultimately left off the World Cup roster by coach Bruce Arena. Twellman was selected by new U.S. coach Bob Bradley as a member of the U.S. squad for the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup, scoring in a group stage win over El Salvador.Twellman gradually fell out of the national team pool in the following years after a series of concussions sidelined his club career. Post-retirement
Twellman has had an active media career after retiring as a player. He currently serves as lead analyst for ESPN's Major League Soccer coverage. He also hosts a weekly recap show about the league, MLS Rewind, on ESPN+. Twellman called the 2012, 2016, and 2020 European Championships, and in 2014 Twellman was ESPN's lead analyst for U.S. matches in the World Cup in Brazil. Since retirement, Twellman has created the THINKTaylor foundation, a charitable organization regarding sports-related concussions.

Sir <mask> (1605 – 10 November 1647) was an English politician and knight. He was knighted in 1638, obtained grants of forfeited lands in Ireland to the amount of , and lost extensive property in Ireland owing to the rebellion of 1641. He opposed Charles I's intention of granting the demands of the Irish Confederates in order to employ them in England: joined the parliamentary party in 1644, obtaining a seat in the House of Commons of England as member for Newport, Cornwall, where he threw in his lot with the moderate presbyterians; compelled to retire into the country owing to his opposition to the independents, September 1647. Biography

<mask> was the younger of the two sons of <mask> of Tickenham, Somerset, by his second wife Alice, daughter of John Sherman of Ottery St. Mary, Devon. <mask>'s elder brother Walter and himself had been appointed by their father joint successors in his office of registrar of the Irish court of wards. Walter died in 1624, so that <mask> obtained the family estates in England and Ireland, and the sole enjoyment of the Irish registrarship. Perceval now definitely settled in Ireland, and by means of his interest at court gradually obtained a large number of additional offices.In 1625 he was made keeper of the records in Birmingham Tower. In 1628 he was joined with Henry Andrews in the offices of clerk of the crown to the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) and the Court of Common Pleas (Ireland), and keeper of the rolls of those tribunals; and in 1629 he was made joint collector of customs at Dublin with Sir Edward Bagshawe of Finglas. By early 1634 his friends in Dublin included Sir <mask> and Sir George Radcliffe who were two of Wentworth's closest advisers. In 1636 Perceval was admitted to King's Inns, Dublin, and on 2 June the same year he was knighted by Lord Deputy of Ireland. Thomas Wentworth. In 1638 he, with Sir James Ware, obtained the monopoly of granting licenses for the sale of ale and brandy, and was also made a member of the privy council. Perceval's energy was chiefly shown in the part he played in the prevailing jobbery connected with Irish landed estate.Holding, in this connection, the offices of general feodary of Ireland, escheator of Munster, and (1637) commissioner of survey into land titles in County Tipperary and County Cork, he took a prominent share in the discovery of technical defects in Irish titles; and obtained enormous transfers of forfeited lands to himself. The importance of these acquisitions, which lay mainly in Cork, Tipperary, and Wexford, may be shown by two instances. In 1630 he obtained the manors of Haggardstown, Herfaston, and Blackrath in Tipperary, and a quarter part of Kilmoyleron in co. Cork, at the quit rent of £1. 7s. 5d. for all services, and special exemption from any taxes that might be laid thereon by parliament or any other authority. In 1637 he obtained the manor of Annagh, with numerous towns, castles, and lands adjoining it in Cork and Tipperary, the whole being, by special license of the crown, erected into the manor of Burton, with liberty to impark sixteen hundred acres, and right to enjoy numerous exceptional privileges.By 1641 he is described as being possessed of the enormous amount of seventy-eight knights' fees and a half, containing 62,502 Irish acres, (about ), in the finest parts of the country, above £4,000 a year of the best rents, and a stock in woods, houses, &c., worth above £60,000, with employments for life of the value of above £2,000 a year, besides other employments of equal profit, which he held by an uncertain tenure. This list does not include his patrimonial estate of Burton in Somerset. With the fall and execution of Wentworth (by then Earl of Strafford) in May 1641, Perceval had lost his major patron and protector. His part in the shady land transaction were revealed, and in September 1641 Perceval narrowly avoided prosecution in England. Perceval was one of the few who perceived the approach of the Irish Rebellion of 1641, an event which his own extortion and chicanery had done much to produce. For example, some of the more rich and powerful families from whom he had obtained land, and who thought of him as a corrupt "New English" official who had taken undue advantage of his position, where the Barrys, MacCarthys, O'Callaghans, and the Roches. On the outbreak of the Rebellion in October, Perceval remained in Dublin, where, as clerk to the king's bench, he took a prominent part in drawing up the notorious list of three thousand indictments for high treason against the rebellious gentlemen.Further he was not without powerful allies in Ireland. James Butler, 12th Earl of Ormonde was an old acquaintance of <mask>'s with mutual business associations that stretched back over the previous decade. At the outbreak of the Rebellion, their alliance remain firm. Ormonde commissioning Perceval first as captain of firelocks in his own regiment and then in March 1642, commissary-general of victuals for the king's army in Ireland. In the meantime, Perceval visited England during the winter months and defended Ormond, against accusations in Parliament that he was colluding with the Catholic rebels. Perceval at length saw that, owing to the vacillation of the government, his own property in Munster would be left exposed to the rebel onslaught. He therefore garrisoned and provisioned his castles in this territory at his own expense.In the summer of 1642 a detachment of the confederate army under Lord Muskerry advanced into <mask>'s districts. All his castles were taken, though Annagh and Liscarrol offered a stubborn resistance, the former holding out for eleven days against an attacking force of 7,500 men (20 August until 2 September 1642). <mask> now obtained the command of a corps of firelocks from the Duke of Ormonde. He armed them at his own cost, but does not seem to have taken any active part in the fighting, during the course of which his property in Munster was utterly ruined. <mask> was one of those who urged and assented to the "cessation" of hostilities agreed on by the contending factions at Castle Martyn on 15 September 1643. In 1644 conferences were opened at Oxford, with a view to a definitive treaty, between representatives of the Irish confederates and certain royal commissioners. <mask> was appointed one of the latter, at the suggestion of his friend Lord-deputy Ormonde.King Charles I, who wished to use the Irish rebels against his English subjects, would have been willing to grant the former all their demands, including the toleration of Catholicism. <mask>, however, shrank from so extreme a step, which would have jeopardised his own prospects, and the conferences came to nothing. As a consequence, <mask> incurred the bitterest hostility of the royalist party. So strong was the feeling against him that he now resolved to go over to the English parliamentarian party. His overtures were favourably answered. He came to London in August 1644, was well received by the parliament, and obtained a seat in the English House of Commons as member for Newport in Cornwall. From this time to his death <mask> remained in England.His Irish property had by now ceased to return any revenue; his losses by the war amounted on his own computation, probably an exaggeration, to the enormous sum of £248,004. 9s. 1d. ; and he found himself compelled to sell the family estate of Burton in Somerset. His position in the English parliament, moreover, was by no means easy. <mask> had thrown in his lot with the moderate presbyterians. This party was at enmity with the independents; and in July 1647, after many minor attacks, a proposal was brought forward for <mask>'s expulsion from the house, on the ground of his having supported the cessation of arms in 1643.He managed to retain his place by a brilliant defence. He subsequently took a share in organising the defence of London against the New Model Army. But in September 1647 he found himself compelled to retire into the country. Threats of impeachment being made, he returned to meet them in London; but was taken ill soon after his arrival, and died on 10 November 1647. He was buried, at the cost of the parliament, in the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. His funeral sermon was preached by Primate Ussher (a relation of his widow). Family

<mask> was the son of <mask> (1550–1620).<mask>'s son John, was created by patent a baronet of Ireland in 1661, with a clause, that the eldest son, or grandson, would become a baronet after the age of 21, and during the lifetime of the father or grandfather, as the case would be. Perceval was married, on 26 October 1626, to Catharine, daughter of Arthur Usher. She died on 2 January 1681 and was buried in St. Audoen's Church, having borne her husband five sons and four daughters:
 <mask>
 Richard (died 29 May 1638, buried St. Audoen's Church, unmarried)
 William (30 May 1630 - 11 June 1633)
 Arthur (7 September 1634 - January 1653, unmarried)
 George (born 15 September 1635, drowned 25 March 1675, married Mary Crofton)
 Judith (born 25 December 1627, married Randolph Clayton in February 1653)
 Anne (born 13 September 1635, unmarried)
 Dorcas (born 30 October 1636, married Jonah Wheeler)
 Catherine (born 1640, unmarried)

The eldest son, Sir <mask> regained most of the Irish estates, and was made a baronet on 12 August 1661. Sir John's sons, Sir <mask> (1656 - 1680) and Sir John (1660 - 1686), succeeded him as 2nd and 3rd Baronets respectively, followed by the younger Sir John's sons, Sir Edward (1682 - 1691) and Sir John (1683–1748) as 4th and 5th Baronets. Sir <mask>, 5th Baronet, became Baron of Burton, County Cork, in 1715; Viscount <mask> of Kanturk in 1722; and Earl of Egmont in 1733. <mask> was the seventh son of the 2nd Earl Egmont and grandson of the 1st Earl Egmont. He was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom when he was assassinated by John Bellingham in the lobby of the House of Commons in 1812.Another member of the family Robert, the second son of the first baronet, had also been assassinated in 1677, by an unknown hand on The Strand in London.

<mask> (February 17, 1949 – July 21, 2016) was an American football coach. During his National Football League (NFL) career, <mask> coached the Minnesota Vikings for 10 seasons. He coached the Vikings to eight playoff appearances in nine years, despite having seven different starting quarterbacks in those postseasons. He was posthumously inducted into the Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor in 2018. <mask> was the second African American head coach in NFL history. He was the Minnesota Vikings head coach from 1992 to 2001. He was one of the winningest coaches of the 1990s, posting a 97–62 record as Vikings head coach.<mask>'s best season in Minnesota was in 1998, when the Vikings finished 15–1 and set the NFL record for most points in a season at the time; however, the Vikings would be upset by the Atlanta Falcons in that year's NFC Championship Game, and <mask> was unable to reach the Super Bowl throughout his otherwise successful tenure with Minnesota. Following his first losing record in 2001, he was fired just before the final game of the season. <mask> was hired by the Cardinals to serve as the head coach for the 2004 season, a franchise then noted for its futility, which had posted only one winning season in a quarter-century. In Arizona, <mask> was unable to match his success in Minnesota, and his poor win-loss record (16–32) with the Cardinals was similar to that of his predecessors in Arizona. However, many describe <mask>'s tenure with Arizona as an inflection point in the history of the Cardinals, arguing that the culture of the team changed under <mask>, and that the core of the personnel in the Cardinals' 2008 Super Bowl run was acquired by <mask>. Early life
<mask> grew up in a working class household in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania at the corner of Walnut and N 12th street. In 2019, the 1100 to 1300 block of Walnut Street was renamed "<mask> Way" to honor the late native.His father, Penrose "Bus" <mask> was of Creole descent and worked as a postal worker, he briefly played for the Harrisburg Lions semi-pro football team. <mask>'s mother, <mask> was a beautician. His father died when <mask> was 11 and his mother died of breast cancer when he was 13. <mask> is the youngest of five brothers: William-Penrose <mask>, <mask>, <mask>, and <mask>. He was in attendance at the March 2, 1962 NBA game in Hershey, Pennsylvania where Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points. <mask> has four children: <mask> (born April 21, 1967), <mask> (born July 21, 1971), <mask> (born February 1, 1997), and <mask> <mask> (born November 6, 1998). <mask> attended John Harris High School (now Harrisburg High School) in Harrisburg, and graduated cum laude from the University of Iowa with a BA in finance.According to <mask>, he was planning to be a high school teacher if his football career didn't pan out. In college, he started as halfback in each of his three seasons with the Iowa Hawkeyes, playing under coach Ray Nagel. In his collegiate career, <mask> had 139 carries for 699 yards and nine touchdowns. His best individual game was in a 1968 loss to Texas Christian University when he rushed 18 times for 175 yards and two touchdowns. After graduating from Iowa, <mask> briefly played professionally for the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League in 1971. Assistant coaching career
<mask> began his football coaching career, returning to the University Iowa in 1972 as a graduate assistant. <mask> then served as an assistant coach at the University of Dayton (1973), University of Iowa (1974 to 1976) and Stanford University, where he  coached under Bill Walsh in 1977 and 1978.In 1979, <mask> joined Bill Walsh's staff on the San Francisco 49ers, where he coached special teams. <mask> returned to Stanford in 1980 as offensive coordinator, coaching with Jim Fassel and Jack Harbaugh. College coaching career
In 1981, <mask> was named the head coach of Northwestern University, a school that had gone 1–31–1 in its last 33 games. In 1981, he was only the second African American head coach in Division I-A history (the previous coach, Willie Jeffries, coached at Wichita State, which no longer has a football team). <mask> was named the Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year, as chosen by writers and broadcasters, in 1982 at Northwestern. He left Northwestern in 1985, doing a stint as the wide receivers coach for the San Francisco 49ers under his former boss at Stanford, Bill Walsh. In his last season with the San Francisco 49ers, they reached the 1989 NFL Super Bowl Championship Game, in which <mask> made the play call that led to John Taylor's 10 yard TD reception from Joe Montana that secured the win with 39 seconds left.In 1989, <mask> took the head coaching position at Stanford University, inheriting a team that had graduated 17 of its 21 starters from 1988. <mask> led the Cardinal from 1989 to 1991. During that time, his teams finished with an overall record of 16–18, a .471 winning percentage, going 3–0 in the Big Game against the California Golden Bears. In 1990, his Stanford team defeated top-ranked Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. His tenure culminated with an 8–3 record (Stanford's best since 1986). A loss to Washington in the opening game of the season was the deciding factor for the Pac-10 championship. The Cardinal made an appearance in the 1991 Aloha Bowl, where his team lost to Georgia Tech on a last-minute touchdown.Professional coaching career

Minnesota Vikings
<mask> was a disciple of Bill Walsh's West Coast offense and was touted by Walsh and other NFL pundits as a likely candidate to be the second African-American head coach in the NFL. On January 10, 1992, <mask> was named 5th head coach  of the Minnesota Vikings, replacing the retiring Jerry Burns. The day he was introduced as the Vikings' head coach, he announced that there was a "new sheriff in town". He would be only the second African American head coach after Art Shell in the modern NFL era and the first to do so without ever playing in the NFL. He was only the third of all time after Fritz Pollard and Shell. Through his first six years with the team, <mask> never posted a losing record and the team failed to qualify for the playoffs only once. <mask> was reportedly the pioneer of using the team's day off on Tuesday to do charity work in the community, which eventually became common in the NFL.Initially, <mask> earned widespread praise for turning around what had recently been a lackluster franchise. However, as the team's fan-base grew accustomed to regular season success, <mask> came under criticism for failing to advance the team deeper into the playoffs. In 1996, two members of the Vikings' ownership board, Wheelock Whitney and Jane Dyer, reportedly contacted Lou Holtz, who was the coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team and former coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team. They wanted to bring Holtz in to replace <mask>. Holtz abruptly announced his retirement in 1996, and rumors surrounded the reasons, one of which was the possible Vikings head coaching position. In 1997, <mask> published his autobiography No Room For Crybabies, in which he responded to the criticism and perceived personal vendettas by Twin Cities sports writers Bob Sansevere, Dan Barreiro, and Patrick Reusse. He threatened to sue the team as his response to the Lou Holtz rumors.The high point of <mask>'s Vikings career was the 1998 season, when the team went 15–1 and set the NFL record for the most points scored in a season (a record since broken by the 2013 Denver Broncos under John Fox). The Vikings advanced to the NFC Championship game, losing to the Atlanta Falcons after Atlanta's Morten Andersen made a field goal in overtime. In 2001, the Vikings finished with a losing record for the first time in <mask>'s decade with the team. The Vikings bought out <mask>'s contract on January 4, 2002. Assistant coach Mike Tice led the team in their final regular season game against the Baltimore Ravens, and was eventually hired as the head coach. Arizona Cardinals
After spending two seasons as an analyst for ESPN, <mask> was hired as head coach by the Arizona Cardinals on January 7, 2004. Through his first two years with the team, <mask> totaled 11 wins with the Cardinals and finished 3rd in the NFC West, an improvement over predecessor Dave McGinnis.Unlike his previous two seasons, the 2006 season began with great expectations for the Cardinals with the opening of a new stadium, sellout crowds, the drafting of quarterback Matt Leinart, and the signing of Pro Bowl running back Edgerrin James. After a solid start, the Cardinals suffered some tough early losses. "They are who we thought they were!" The worst of these came in a Monday Night Football game on October 16, 2006, losing a 20-point lead to the Chicago Bears in less than twenty minutes. Asked about how Arizona's tenacious defense forced six turnovers and shut down the Chicago offense, the normally soft-spoken <mask> unloaded from the lectern:

The day after the press conference, offensive coordinator Keith Rowen was fired and replaced with quarterbacks coach Mike Kruczek. Although <mask> later apologized for the outburst, and the Cardinals rallied to win four of their last seven games (including a rare win over playoff-bound Seattle), many pundits felt that the loss to Chicago and ensuing tirade had already sealed <mask>'s fate. On January 1, 2007, the Cardinals fired <mask> with a year left on his contract.<mask>'s tirade is still used heavily in NFL media coverage today, often comically, to describe the obvious flaws of an opponent and the failure to capitalize on that knowledge. It was featured in a Coors TV advertisement. In August 2007, the Westwood One radio network announced that it had hired <mask> to serve as a color analyst on their Thursday night NFL broadcasts. California Redwoods
On March 11, 2009, it was announced that <mask> would be the head coach of the San Francisco franchise for the United Football League's inaugural season. <mask>'s first game as California Redwoods coach was a 30–17 loss to the Las Vegas Locomotives. Sacramento Mountain Lions
Beginning with the 2010 season, the Redwoods moved to Sacramento and were renamed the Mountain Lions. <mask> remained as head coach for the 2011 seasons as well, his final season with the Mountain Lions.After leaving the team, <mask> sued the league for lack of payment on a $1.5 million contract for the 2011 season. (The United Football League suspended play in October 2012 amid lawsuits alleging unpaid debts.) An arbitrator awarded <mask> $990,000 for the 2011 season, and the award was upheld in February 2014 by a San Francisco Superior Court judge. Death

On Thursday July 21, 2016, <mask> died at the age of 67 due to complications from cardiac arrest. He was survived by his wife <mask> and four children. After his death, the Vikings team released a statement saying, "He mentored countless players and served as a father figure for the men he coached. He took great pride in helping assistant coaches advance their careers.His tenure as one of the first African American head coaches in both college and the NFL was also transformative. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire <mask> family." Head coaching record

<mask> (born 20 September 1993) is a German professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the Germany national team. He is known for his ability to use both feet, his speed, and the power of his shot. <mask> made his Bundesliga debut for Schalke 04 aged 17 in January 2011, and in May of that year scored the first goal as the side won the DFB-Pokal Final. In total, he played 171 competitive matches for Schalke, scoring 30 goals, before transferring to VfL Wolfsburg in 2015. In January 2017, he joined PSG. A full international with over 40 caps since 2012, he was part of the Germany squad who won the 2014 FIFA World Cup, reached the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2016 and was the captain of the side that won the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, a tournament in which Draxler was awarded the Golden Ball trophy as the best player of the competition. Club career

Schalke 04

Draxler made his Bundesliga debut on 15 January 2011 in a 0–1 loss to Hamburger SV.At that time, he was the fourth-youngest Bundesliga player ever and the youngest in Schalke's history. One week later, in Schalke's 1–0 win against Hannover 96, he became the second-youngest field player after Nuri Şahin to start a Bundesliga match. On 25 January 2011, <mask> came on as a substitute for Peer Kluge in the quarter-finals of the 2010–11 DFB-Pokal against 1. FC Nürnberg in the second half of extra time. He scored his first goal for Schalke 04 in the dying seconds of the same match to ensure a 3–2 for his club. He scored his first Bundesliga goal on 1 April 2011 against FC St. Pauli. <mask> opened the scoring in Schalke's 2011 DFB-Pokal Final victory over MSV Duisburg, volleying in from outside the area, scoring the first of what proved to be five unanswered goals for Schalke.He finished the 2010–11 season with 1 goal in 15 league appearances, two goals in three DFB-Pokal appearances and six UEFA Champions League appearances. In the 2011–12 season, <mask> played an important part in securing third place and 2011–12 UEFA Champions League qualification for Schalke, appearing in 30 of 34 Bundesliga matches, mainly on the left side of midfield to accommodate Lewis Holtby in a central role. He also had a goal in two DFB-Pokal matches, two goals in the UEFA Europa League, and an appearance in the DFL-Supercup. The following season, <mask> continued to prove himself to be an important first team player, scoring in matches against Greuther Fürth, Werder Bremen, Borussia Mönchengladbach and in a high-scoring 5–4 victory against Hannover 96. <mask> continued to play an important role after Holtby's departure and the signing of Michel Bastos, allowing <mask> to impress in his favoured attacking midfield position, including two goals in a 4–1 victory at VfL Wolfsburg. While scoring in a 2–1 win to complete a league double over rivals Borussia Dortmund, <mask> became Schalke's youngest ever player to appear in 100 competitive games. On 3 May, he scored the match's only goal as Schalke defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 1–0 at Borussia-Park.<mask> finished the 2012–13 season as Schalke's joint top goalscorer in the Bundesliga – along with striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar – after finishing the season with ten goals. He also scored two goals in three DFB-Pokal matches and one goal in six UEFA Champions League matches. In May 2013, amid rumours of interest from English Premier League clubs as well as from Borussia Dortmund, <mask> extended his contract for a further two years, until 30 June 2018. On 2 October 2013, <mask> scored in a 1–0 away win against Basel in the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League. This win took Schalke 04 to the top of their group. In the final match of the Champions League group stage, <mask> opened the scoring for Schalke in a 2–0 victory against Basel, taking them through to the knockout phase of the tournament. He finished the 2013–14 season with 2 goals in 26 appearances in the Bundesliga, two appearances in the DFB-Pokal and four goals in ten appearances in the Champions League.He would go on to score 2 goals in 19 appearances in all competitions in the following season. On 27 July 2015, Schalke rejected a bid of €15 million from Juventus, after reports that the Italian side and Draxler had already agreed personal terms. Schalke general manager Horst Heldt felt the offer was far too low and informed Juventus that there would be no further talks. On 31 August 2015, <mask> signed for VfL Wolfsburg. His final match was a 3–0 loss to Wolfsburg three days prior to the transfer. He finished his 2015–16 account for Schalke with one goal in three Bundesliga matches and a DFB-Pokal match. VfL Wolfsburg
On 31 August 2015, <mask> signed for VfL Wolfsburg on a five-year deal for a reported initial fee of €36 million plus add-ons.He scored his first goal for Wolfsburg on 15 September 2015, in a 1–0 win over CSKA Moscow on his Champions League debut for the club. On 31 October, he registered his first Bundesliga goal with the Wolves, scoring the winner after appearing as a substitute against Bayer Leverkusen. In the knockout phase of the 2015–16 Champions League, against Gent, Draxler scored twice in a 3–2 away win in the first leg. On 8 March in the second leg at the Volkswagen Arena, he assisted André Schürrle for the only goal of the match as Wolfsburg reached the quarter-finals for the first time in club history. However, media sources reported that Draxler had failed to fulfill expectations with the Wolves and often appeared like a "foreign body" in the team. He ended the 2015–16 season with 8 goals and 7 assists from 28 appearances. Ahead of the 2016–17 season, <mask> announced that he wished to leave VfL Wolfsburg and that the club would allow him to transfer if it received an attractive offer.Despite reported interest from Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, <mask> could not secure a transfer away from Wolfsburg during the summer transfer window. On his return to the Wolfsburg team, <mask> was loudly booed by the club's supporters and described the following four months as "the worst first half of a season of my career". Paris Saint-Germain
On 24 December 2016, it was announced on VfL Wolfsburg's website that <mask> would be joining Paris Saint-Germain on a four-year contract, for a reported fee of €42 million, pending a medical examination. The transfer was officially completed on 3 January 2017. 2016–17 season
On 7 January, <mask> made his competitive debut for PSG in a Coupe de France fixture against Bastia at the Parc des Princes. He scored the final goal of a 7–0 victory in the 89th minute, after being assisted by Hatem Ben Arfa. <mask> debuted in Ligue 1 seven days later and scored the match's only goal as the champions won 1–0 away at Rennes.On 1 February, he scored twice against the same opposition in the Coupe de France to take him to four goals in five appearances in French football.

On 9 August 2011, <mask> scored on his debut for the Germany under-21 side in the 4–1 win over Cyprus in a 2013 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier. On 7 May 2012, he was one of two uncapped players called up into the provisional squad for the UEFA Euro 2012 senior side for Germany. On 26 May 2012, he made his debut for the senior side in Germany's 5–3 loss to Switzerland, coming on as a substitute to replace Lukas Podolski in the 62nd minute. His first international goal was scored on 2 June 2013 in a friendly against the United States. The goal was scored in the 81st minute to bring the score to 3–4, finishing a rebound off goalkeeper Tim Howard.<mask> captained Germany in a goalless friendly against Poland in Hamburg on 13 May 2014, a match in which seven of his teammates were debutants. In June 2014, <mask> was named in Germany's 23-man squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. He made his first World Cup appearance as a 76th-minute substitute for Sami Khedira in the semi-final 7–1 victory over Brazil. On 13 July, he was an unused substitute as Germany defeated Argentina at the Maracanã Stadium to win its fourth World Cup. <mask> made only two appearances for the world champions during the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. However, he started on the left side of Germany's attack in four of their six matches at Euro 2016 finals, also appearing as a substitute in the quarter-final against Italy and converting his kick in the 6–5 penalty shootout win. He was named Man of the Match for his performance against Slovakia, assisting Mario Gómez's second goal before scoring the third himself in a 3–0 win.<mask> was named captain of an inexperienced Germany squad for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, scoring a penalty kick in the team's opening match as they defeated Australia 3–2.

Later on, <mask> was not included in Germany's squad for Euro 2020.Playing style
Draxler is two-footed and known for his speed and intensity in one-on-one situations. He is mainly deployed as a left winger but he can also be deployed as a right winger and as an attacking midfielder. In his Schalke 04 youth career, Draxler was deployed mainly as an attacking midfielder where he always felt most at home. In addition, <mask> is known for possessing a powerful and impressive shot. In January 2014, <mask> was named by The Observer as one of the ten most promising young players in Europe. FIFA's official website describes <mask> as "tall, fast, with a keen eye for goal, and an exceptional talent in one-on-one situations from his regular position as a left-sided attacking midfielder".

is a Japanese singer-songwriter, and a prominent figure in Japanese popular music. <mask> of The Generous is his daughter. Biography
<mask> formed the band Carol in 1972, a rock 'n' roll group which gained notable popularity in Japanese music. He was the lead vocalist and bassist in the band. After the band broke up in 1975, <mask> flew to the U.S. to start his solo career. His first solo album, I Love You, OK, was recorded at the A&M Studio in Los Angeles and produced by Tom Mack. In 1977, he was the  first Japanese solo rock artist to perform at the Budokan hall in Tokyo, to a full crowd of over 13,000 people.He now holds the record of most performances at the Budokan hall, having performed there over 100 times (the hundredth being on December 16, 2007). 1978 was a greatly successful year for <mask>. His fourth studio album, Gold Rush, went to #1 in the charts. He also held a hugely successful performance at the Korakuen baseball stadium (now the Tokyo Dome) for over 40,000 people. In 1980, <mask> signed a contract with the Warner Pioneer (present Warner Music Japan) record company and moved to the West Coast of the United States. He recorded the albums <mask> (featuring members of American rock bands Little Feat and The Doobie Brothers), It's Just Rock n' Roll (also featuring members of The Doobie Brothers and several songs written by John McFee and Bobby LaKind), and Flash in Japan, all of which were released worldwide, but were not very commercially successful compared to his Japanese releases. In 1988, he signed to EMI Music Japan.From 1992 to 1997 <mask> appeared in a string of commercials for such products as "Boss" coffee. His commercials typically were of him in various comedically unfortunate situations (such as a salaryman running while eating or accidentally toppling a group of bicycles), with his new songs serving as background music and his own voiceovers rather than on-camera talking. In 1998, <mask> was swindled out of about 3.5 billion yen (approx. 35 million US dollars) for a huge building construction project in Australia. It took him several years to pay off the debt. In December 2005, <mask> ran a sold-out Japan tour of "live houses" (Japanese-English for a live-music club) as a part of his "back to roots" approach to his 30th anniversary as a solo artist, following the breakup of rock band Carol in 1975. 'Ei-chan' delighted fans with a rendition of "Whiskey Coke," a hit from that year (and a Karaoke library mainstay), as well as numbers from his 2005 album, "Only One".In 2007, Ichiro Suzuki (Seattle Mariners), a major league player, chose his "Tomaranai Ha~Ha" as an AT-BAT MUSIC of 2008 with Ringo Shiina's "Yokushitsu" and "Identity". In 2008, <mask> left the Emi Music Japan and established his independent record label Garuru Records. After the releases of two singles "Loser" (opening theme for Yakuza 3) and "Cobalt no Sora", he released his first original studio album under the label, Rock 'n' Roll, on August 5, 2009. The album debuted at #3 on the Japanese Oricon weekly album charts, selling about 54,000 copies in its initial week. On December 31, 2009, <mask> performed on the popular New Year's Eve TV show, 60th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen in Japan as a surprise guest, singing "Jikan yo Tomare" and "Cobalt no Sora". His albums have sold over 12 million copies in the Japanese market, and he has had a strong influence on modern Japanese rock music. He was invited to perform at Wembley Stadium alongside Robert Palmer, Bon Jovi, and Rod Stewart, and often performs live aid concerts.Seven of his albums were produced by Andrew Gold. vocals by Zeeteah Massiah

<mask> (born 21 May 1958) is an English broadcaster, journalist and author. He was a founding member of the Channel 4 News Team in 1982 and remained there until joining the BBC in 1990. He started work on the BBC's Newsnight programme in 1992, serving as political editor from 2007 until his departure from the BBC in 2011. <mask> then returned to Channel 4 News as political correspondent. In 2014 he was chosen as Specialist Journalist of the Year at the Royal Television Society television journalism awards. Early life
<mask> was born in Northampton, the eldest child of teachers <mask> and Patricia Wright, and brother to triplets Catherine, Anne and Beatrice. He was educated at the Manchester Grammar School (then a direct grant grammar school) and in 1975 was a member of the winning school team in the English Speaking Union Public Speaking Competition.<mask> joined the Labour Party at the age of 15, and while revising for his A-levels, he worked as election agent for the party's candidate Gerard Collier (later Lord Monkswell). <mask> then studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at New College, Oxford and graduated with a first class honours Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. At Oxford, he was editor of the student newspaper, Cherwell; founded both the Oxford Handbook and the Oxbridge Careers Handbook; chaired the Democratic Labour Club; and was president of the Oxford Union in Michaelmas Term 1979, succeeding Theresa May's future husband Philip. Career
<mask> started work at ITN as a trainee journalist in 1980. He was a founding member of the Channel 4 News team when the programme was launched in November 1982. During his period as their Washington correspondent (1988–1990)  <mask> won an award from the Royal Television Society for his coverage of the 1988 Presidential election between George H. W. Bush and <mask>. His first book, a study of the Militant tendency, ran to two editions, published by Faber in 1984 and 1986.Scargill and the Miners was published by Penguin in 1985. In 1990, the Labour Party gave <mask> the opportunity to contest the safe seat of Bootle, but he turned down the offer. He also served as chair of the Young Fabians from 1980 to 1981. Joins the BBC
<mask> joined the BBC in 1990, initially appearing on Panorama, becoming a regular reporter on BBC 2's Newsnight in 1992. Jeffrey Archer: Stranger Than Fiction, his unauthorised biography of the novelist and former politician, appeared in its first edition during 1995. <mask> has investigated other politicians too, and has written unofficial biographies of several public figures. When Mark Mardell interviewed Archer for Newsnight in 1999 during his campaign to be elected mayor of London, Archer levelled, on camera, the following apparent threat at <mask>: "You wait till I'm Mayor.You'll find out how tough I am." In 2002, <mask> won an RTS Award for his Panorama programme "Jeffrey Archer: A Life of Lies" broadcast after Archer's conviction for perjury the previous July. After the Archer documentary, <mask> began work on his biography of Sir Alex Ferguson which was published in 2002. Reporting "utterly misplaced" speculation that <mask> would not be objective because of his lifelong support of Manchester United, Leo McKinstry wrote for the Daily Telegraph that Ferguson "has found a worthy, if hardly compliant, biographer". 'Betsygate' and later stories
In 2003, under heavy pressure during the Hutton Inquiry, the BBC refused to show <mask>'s report for Newsnight into 'Betsygate'. These claims involved the alleged misuse of public funds by the private office of former Conservative Party leader Iain Duncan Smith and supposed payments to his wife Betsy for work she did not do. <mask> had begun to investigate these claims in the Spring after a tip-off from a Conservative insider with knowledge of Duncan Smith's office.<mask> referred the case to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards Sir Philip Mawer and the Duncan Smiths were largely cleared of any impropriety. <mask> himself later said that he had been wrong to enter the "political arena" by referring the case to Mawer. A biography, In Search of <mask>, was published just before the 2005 general election. Simon Heffer in The Spectator wrote that "it is thorough and well-researched, in some respects exceptionally so". In that year's election, it was observed that the five most terrifying words in the political lexicon were "<mask> is in reception". <mask> was appointed Newsnights political editor in March 2007 in succession to Martha Kearney. "We're very lucky in the freedoms that we have on Newsnight to express ourselves as individuals.We are allowed to do our own thing", he said of the programme at the time. He broke the story in June 2008 concerning Caroline Spelman's misuse of her parliamentary staffing allowance which she was found to have used to pay her nanny. Leaving Newsnight and after
In July 2011, it was announced that <mask> was returning to Channel 4 News as political correspondent, replacing Cathy Newman under political editor Gary Gibbon. He made his last appearance on Newsnight on 29 July 2011. He was replaced by Allegra Stratton. The following September, he said in an interview for The Independent: "I was 19 years on Newsnight and 18 of them were extremely happy and then towards the end, about a year ago, they made it clear to me that they wanted me to stop being the political editor and do another job, which was ill-defined." The journalist Nick Cohen, in appraising Newsnight and BBC practices shortly after the departure of <mask> and other journalists, wrote that "<mask> adheres instead to the honourable belief that the job of the reporter is to create as much trouble as possible.He lives by his creed by bringing in scoop after scoop." <mask>'s revelation that the September 2012 'Plebgate' scandal was based on entirely fictitious evidence was the subject of a Dispatches programme in December 2012. The false accusations made against (then) Conservative chief whip Andrew Mitchell resulted in Mitchell resigning, and <mask> found evidence of collusion by the Metropolitan Police. In Summer 2013, he reported that a file on the Conservative politician <mask> had been sent to the Crown Prosecution Service concerning alleged offences committed during his candidacy in the Police and Crime Commissioner elections in 2012 for the post in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. <mask>’s investigations on behalf of Channel 4 into violations of electoral law in the South Thanet constituency during the 2017 general election resulted in the conviction of the Conservative Party regional organiser in 2019 of serious breaches of illegal spending. One consequence of his investigations has been a tightening of electoral law to prevent local candidates from using profiles of national figures in their literature. The costs of national figures supporting local candidates must be declared within local party expenditure accounts.In April 2019, <mask> announced he had retired from Channel 4 and ITN, stating that he was "looking forward to an exciting new life writing books again, and all sorts of other activity in journalism and other fields." He has since joined Mail Plus. Personal life
<mask> lives in Wandsworth, south London, with his partner Lucy Hetherington, an executive TV producer who has managed documentaries and current affairs programmes. She is the daughter of former Guardian editor Alastair Hetherington. They have a daughter, Isabel, born in 2006. He also has an older daughter, Catherine, born in 1987, from his former marriage to <mask>, who was his wife from 1985 to 2008. Margaret was a former TV presenter who published a biography of Jeffrey Archer's wife Mary in 2005.A keen supporter of Manchester United, he has written several books on the team as well as his political works. In 1998–99 he was the organiser of the Shareholders United Against Murdoch campaign which successfully opposed the proposed takeover of United by BSkyB. He later served as Vice-Chairman of Shareholders United. "The BBC weren't very pleased" at his involvement, he said in 2007. Since 2012 <mask> has been a lay member of the board of governors of the University of Manchester, and he also sits on the board of Manchester University Press. Books
