He then moved to Sydney Croatia in 1987 before an aborted move to Hajduk Split was quickly followed by a transfer to Anderlecht. Europe
<mask> did not see much playing time in Belgium and moved to then Ligue 2 club Lens, which was promoted during his time at the club (1990–94). While he was at Lens he was attacked with a baseball bat by Paris Saint-Germain supporters and nearly lost his life. At the end of the 1993–94 season <mask> moved to Blackburn Rovers, and there he became the first Australian to win the English FA Premier League in the 1994-95 season, starting many of the games in the first half of the season and contributing numerous assists. He was not a regular player in the second half of the season, but his 18 league appearances (six as a substitute) were more than enough to qualify for a title medal. In August 1995, he was sold to West Ham United for £600,000 with Matty Holmes moving in the opposite direction.He made his debut on 26 August 1995 in a 1–1 draw away at Nottingham Forest with his first West Ham goal coming on 2 December 1995 in a 4–2 away defeat to his previous club, Blackburn Rovers. <mask> made 29 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals for West Ham before moving on to Southampton in August 1996. After just one season in East London, <mask> was signed for Southampton by manager Graeme Souness for a fee of £250,000 and was a regular throughout the 1996–97 season, making 30 Premier League appearances as the "Saints" avoided relegation by one point with a run of three victories in the final five games. These included a 2–0 victory over <mask>'s former club, Blackburn Rovers, in the penultimate game on 3 May 1997 in which <mask> scored the opening goal, forcing the ball home from eight yards after a good run by Egil Østenstad. In the FA Cup match at Reading on 4 January 1997, <mask> was sent off by referee Graham Poll in the final minute of the match following a "gesture" to a linesman, as Southampton went down 3–1, finishing the match with only nine players. In the summer of 1997, Souness left The Dell club, to be replaced by Dave Jones. Under Jones, <mask> rarely played, making only three league starts with his final appearance coming as a substitute against Manchester United on 19 January 1998.In March 1998, he was transferred to Wolverhampton Wanderers where he stayed briefly, playing as a substitute in the FA Cup semi final against Arsenal, before returning to Australia in the summer. NSL

He won 44 caps for the Australian national team, including the infamous 1997 World Cup qualifier against Iran. Probably <mask>'s most memorable match was the World Cup qualifier between Australia and Argentina played at the Sydney Football Stadium in 1993, which also included Diego Maradona. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, but <mask>'s midfield performance caught the attention of the Argentine press and the team.Without any knowledge of who <mask> was, he was labelled "the red one".

<mask> (August 19, 1861 – May 7, 1923) was an American actress and soprano singer who performed on stage in dramas, musical comedy and comic opera. Her career began at the age fifteen as Cupid in Ixion; or, the Man at the Wheel and, but for a few years absence, she remained active on stage in America and abroad until 1908. She was the first to play Hebe in an American production of H.M.S. Pinafore, the first Katrina in the comic opera  Rip Van Winkle and the first to play the title role in an English adaptation of the operetta Nanon. Late in her life <mask> would fall victim to mental illness and spend her last few years confined to psychiatric institutions. Early life
She was born <mask> in New York City on December 19, 1861, the daughter of William Alexander and Mary Lydia (née Randall) <mask>. Her father was the son of John P<mask>, a French immigrant who founded a successful wholesale firm dealing in imported silk products.<mask> worked for his father's firm and had served in the American Civil War and later as a New York City police detective who once brought charges of corruption against a NYPD police captain. Her mother was said to be of the family that once owned Randall's Island in Manhattan. Before taking to the stage at 15, <mask> was educated at area public schools and the  Ursuline Convent in New Rochelle, New York. Some accounts have her birth name as Sally Martin or Sally Eagan, the daughter of an Irish-American single mother who worked hard to ensure her a good education. In March 1894 <mask> stated to the press that, though she would have been proud to have been raised under such a circumstance, she in fact was the daughter of Mary and William Alexander <mask>. Career

In 1876 <mask> joined Manhattan's Eagle Theatre as a $5-a-week walk-on player. Her debut came about in late August of that year when an injury prevented chorus girl Maude Branscombe from performing Cupid in that evening's performance of F. C. Burnand's Ixion.The next year she joined Adah Richmond's company at $18 a-week, touring in Chow Chow: or, A Tale of Pekin, in which she performed a popular imitation of Marie Aimee, singing Pretty as a Picture Later came a Christmas 1877 engagement at the Boylston Museum, Boston <ref>Music and the Drama. Boston Daily Advertiser (Boston, Massachusetts), December 24, 1877; Issue 150; col. D</ref> and a performance the following year at the city's Americus Club that led to an offer to join the Boston Museum stock company. That November she appeared at the Boston Museum in the original American production of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore and, over the following few seasons, rose to be their leading soubrette. <mask> left The Boston Museum after actor-manager Dion Boucicault offered her a substantial raise to join him in England and her request for a modest salary adjustment was rejected by the Museum's management. <mask> made her London debut on Boxing Day, 1880, at the Alhambra Theatre as the Spirit of the Bracken in the three-act comic opera Mefistofele II. At the same theatre the following March, she played Celine in the Opéra bouffe Jeanne, Jeannette, et Jeanneton.On October 14, 1882, she created at the Royal Comedy Theatre, London, the role Katrina in the comic opera Rip Van Winkle.based on the Dion Boucicault and Joseph Jefferson theatrical adaptation of the Washington Irving story

By 1883 <mask> was back in New York with Boucicault for the inaugural season of his new Star Theatre (formerly Wallack's Theatre). Their first production premiered on March 26 with Boucicault's Vice Versa with <mask> in the role of Mrs. Clingstone Peach. Later one critic would declare the piece a failure and Martinot a success. On April 12 the season continued with <mask> playing Moya in The Shaughraun; Dora on April 19 in The Omadhaun; and that May as Eily O'Connor in The Colleen Bawn. At the Fifth Avenue Theatre in January 1884, <mask> played Portia in the farce Distinguished Gentleman and that August at the Union Square Theatre she was Florence Nightingale Fletcher in Queena. In April of the following year she played  Sophie in Dakolar at the Lyceum Theatre and on June 29, 1885, at the Casino Theatre, she became the first to sing in English the part Nanon Patin in the operetta Nanon.by Friedrich Zell and Richard Genée Brainard's Musical World, Issues 262-335, 1885, p.389 accessed 6.14.13

Illness
In December 1885 <mask> sailed for an engagement in Florence, where after a short period she came down with a strain of malaria commonly called Roman Fever. A private train took her to Vienna, where she spent the next several years convalescing and, as her strength returned, pursuing European art and culture.Later career

<mask> returned to New York to star in the much anticipated comic opera Nadjy, but after a disagreement with the Casino Theatre stage manager, she withdrew from the production before the piece debuted. Her first performance after returning from Europe was played in German at Amberg's German Theatre early in 1889 as Bettina in Das Maskottchen (The Mascot). At the Garden Theatre on September 27 of the following year she played Mrs. Horton in Hamilton Aide's Dr. Bill and at the same venue that October 6, Lois in Jerome K. Jerome's Sunset. Over the following two seasons <mask> starred in a national tour performing the title role in the Charles Frederic Nirdlinger play Pompadour and Dora in Victorien Sardou's Diplomacy. <mask> would remain active in theatre, in New York or elsewhere, well into the first decade of the new century in roles such as:

Suzette in The Voyage of Suzette (1893)
Mrs. Darcey in The Passport (1894)
Lady Angela in Patience (1896)
Hattie in A Stranger in New York (1897)
Leonie in The Turtle (1898)
Lady Carnby in The Marriage Game (1901)
Paula in The Second Mrs. Tanqueray (1903)
Mary Erwin in Mary and John (1905)
Mrs. Temple in Mrs. Temple's Telegram (1906)
Lady Dover in Toddles'' (1908)

Personal life
<mask> married twice, first to Fred Stinson (d. 1895), a theatrical manager, on March 30, 1879, in Boston, and then to Louis F. Nethersole (d. 1936), a theatrical manager, producer and press agent and a brother of actress Olga Nethersole. While it was reported she married Max Figman, a comedian-actor, with whom she fell into financial difficulty, her marriage record to Louis Nethersole on May 30, 1901, in Manhattan, New York, lists her name as Sarah F. Stinson. At the time of her death Martinot was thought to be divorced from Nethersole.<mask> was the author of a number of magazine articles over her career, a student of Wagnerian opera and an accomplished equestrian. Decline
On January 5, 1916, <mask> jumped unclad from a second story window of an apartment building on Fort Washington Avenue, New York. She did not, from press reports, appear seriously injured when she landed in an adjacent courtyard, though it was apparent she was mentally unstable. <mask> was transported to Washington Heights Hospital and then later in the day transferred to the Psychiatric Ward at Bellevue Hospital. In March 1918 <mask> was committed to the Manhattan State Hospital for the Insane and later that year moved to St. Lawrence State Hospital, Ogdensburg, New York. At some point early in 1918 <mask> escaped her confinement and was eventually found in Washington, D. C., disorientated and unable to recall her name. She died of heart disease five years later while still institutionalized at St. Lawrence Hospital.References

Charles Browning "<mask>" <mask> (October 20, 1874 – January 7, 1951) was a Congregational minister, an American socialist, a Jesusist, an author, a potter, and a recluse. Early years
<mask>, known to family and friends as <mask>, was born at Middleburgh, Schoharie County, New York, the son of Charles Addison and Mary (<mask><mask>. <mask> used Middleburgh as background in his book The Mixing (1913) and described the thinly-veiled residents as, "degenerative Dutchmen." Middleburgh residents sued and retorted that <mask> was "a male child born some years ago in the village, whose early stupidity gave no indication of his future precocity." After graduating from Middleburgh High School, he entered Harvard College in 1894, studied journalism, and graduated in 1896 (A.B.). He worked as a reporter for the Springfield Republican, received his "call," and attended Boston Theological Seminary. In 1902 he graduated from Union Theological Seminary of New York City.and worked as a minister in the Ramapo Mountains near West Point. He published his first book, Quo vaditis? : A call to the old moralities in 1903. A typical selection shows that, from the beginning, he was against the money-making spirit in the land. "I have seen a People crazed with new-got riches, a drunk-headed People, a People giddied with great possessions. A wildness was upon them, but it was not a wildness for the desirables of life." After a year at Ramapo he became pastor of the Congregational Church of the Thousand Islands at Clayton, New York the next three years.<mask> was ordained a  Congregational minister in 1904. He then accepted the position of head of the Men's Social Service department in Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, where he remained until he was dismissed in 1913. Socialist Activities

While at Holy Trinity, <mask> worked on several books. The Book of Daniel Drew (1910) was "A Study in the Psychology of Wall Street. A fascinating story of the mental evasions and feats of ethical juggling of one hopelessly caught in the system." The 1937 movie, "The Toast of New York" starring Cary Grant, Edward Arnold, and Frances Farmer was based on this book and is currently available on DVD. The Call of the Carpenter (1911), which portrayed Jesus of Nazareth as a workingman, agitator, and social revolutionist, went too far and caused his dismissal from Holy Trinity.<mask> formed his own church, "The Church of the Social Revolution," and  Eugene V. Debs observed that <mask> was "the only Christian minister" in New York. In The Carpenter and the Rich Man (1914)  "<mask> <mask> shows in vivid and absorbing fashion Jesus as the leader of the great proletarian surge of his time. The immorality of being rich when other people are poor, is the keynote of this book, and the author bases it on the message of the Carpenter as found in the parables." Another politically active minister, Methodist John Wesley Hill, debated the resolution "Resolved: That socialism is a peril to the state and the church" with <mask> at Webster Hall in Manhattan on May 7, 1913, with suffragist Inez Milholland moderating. A member of the Socialist Party of America until he was removed because of his religious beliefs, <mask> appeared (May 10, 1914) at a service of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, to which the Rockefeller family belonged, in order to discuss the question, "Did Jesus teach the immorality of being rich?". He was arrested on the charge of disorderly conduct and three days later he was sentenced to six months on Blackwells Island. Because of his success at converting the workhouse prisoners there to Socialism, he was transferred to the more isolated Queens County Jail.Upton Sinclair had a letter published in The New York Times urging <mask>'s followers to work for his release, and referred to "<mask> <mask> as 'Jesus,' to the Magistrate who convicted him as 'Pilate,' to the Calvary Baptist Church as 'the temple,'....

Creed

After he was released, he published Letters from Prison (1915) which contained his creed:

I believe in God, the Master most mighty, stirrer-up
of Heaven and earth. And in Jesus the Carpenter of Nazareth, who was born of proletarian Mary, toiled at the work bench, descended into labor's hell, suffered under Roman tyranny at the hands of Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. The Power not ourselves which makes for freedom, he rose again from the dead to be lord of the democratic advance, sworn foe of stagnancy, maker of folk upheavals. I believe in work, the self-respecting toiler, the holiness of beauty, freeborn producers, the communion of comrades, the resurrection of workers, and the industrial commonwealth, the cooperative kingdom eternal." For desecrating the national flag, even though he claimed it was part of a religious ceremony and several flags from other countries were burned at the same time as a call for international brotherhood, he was again sent to prison in 1916. Later life

<mask> left for Europe, to either learn more about pottery-making or as a war correspondent, and married Andree Emilie Simon, a 19-year-old girl he brought back to his primitive home in Marlboro, Ulster County, NY. Because he mistreated her, the local residents tarred and feathered him.The marriage was annulled and <mask> left for Vermont in the summer of 1921. He eventually moved to New Scotland, Albany County, NY in the Helderberg Mountains area, and with the help of two Swedish brothers, he built by hand a primitive castle out of local limestone in the mid 1930s. He referred to his buildings as "Federalburg" and "The Spirit of the Helderbergs," but local residents called it the "Helderberg Castle." It was constructed in the Arts and Crafts style and used the native limestone and crushed stone to not only create his mortar but used it in his pottery. He made a living selling "Bouckware" pottery with a new glazing technique that required no heat. Fire destroyed his living quarters at the castle in 1940, and in 1944 <mask> suffered a stroke that forced him to enter the Home for Aged Men in Menands where he died in 1951. "<mask> <mask> drifted through the Methodist Episcopal ministry, the Congregational ministry, and a stint as an Episcopalian lay youth worker, before founding the Church of the Social Revolution and exasperating all socialist and ecclesiastical organizations he encountered, before drifting to the eccentric style using native stone and building in the arts and crafts style in the mountains outside Albany, New York."In the 1955 the Castle was purchased by Alice and Jack Regan. They ran it as a tourist attraction. Loving it for 30 years until their deaths. Selling antiques, books and tours. The site was also known for having fantastic parties in the late 1960s and early 1970s. With bands, pig roasts, and skydivers. Footnotes

<mask> (born 1955 in Istanbul) is a Turkish political scientist, essayist and columnist. He has published numerous books on the European Union and its relations with Turkey. He was a director at the UNHCR and worked extensively with the European Commission. He initiated a campaign calling for an apology of the Turkish citizens towards the Armenians for the Armenian genocide. Biography
Born in Istanbul in 1955, <mask> studied in the Lycée de Galatasaray then went on to study in the Sorbonne in Paris where he obtained a PhD in Economic Epistemology in 1982. He is a professor of political science presently invited at the University of Athens [EKPA]. He is a former director at the United Nations, specializing in asylum policies.He is known to be one of the leading advocates of Turkey’s integration into the EU. He was the Chair of European Studies at Bahçeşehir University. In 1999, he initiated a civil initiative for Istanbul’s candidacy for the title of European Capital of Culture. Istanbul successfully held the title in 2010. He also headed the initiative called "European Movement 2002" which aimed at putting pressure on the lawmaker to speed up political reforms necessary to begin the negotiation phase with the EU. In December 2008, he developed the idea of an online apology campaign addressed to Armenians and supported by a number of Turkish intellectuals as well as over 32.454 citizens of Turkey. Before Athens <mask> has been the Chair of European Union Studies in the Economic and Administrative Sciences Department of Bahçeşehir University.He also taught in the International Relations Department of Galatasaray University. He extensively wrote, taught and trained about the European Union and its relations with Turkey. From 1989 to 1994, while working for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees he performed the duties of vice-director of the Informal Consultations consisting of Western countries, the IOM and the UNHCR. Later on the Informal Consultations went independent from the UN and became the International Center for Migration Policy Development, based in Vienna and headed by the late Jonas Widgren. From 1994 to 1999, he was the head of the United Nations's mission in Slovenia. His career within the United Nations spans 22 years. The Apology campaign
Back in Turkey in 1999, he befriended the Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink who was running the Armenian-language periodical [Agos]].After Dink was assassinated on 19 January 2007, <mask> <mask>, along with other Turkish scholars, decided to launch a petition calling for an apology of the Turks towards the Armenians. <mask> believes that Turkish public must take the responsibility of being further informed about the Armenian genocide. The petition read: My conscience does not accept the insensitivity showed to and the denial of the Great Catastrophe that the Ottoman Armenians were subjected to in 1915. I reject this injustice and for my share, I empathize with the feelings and pain of my Armenian brothers and sisters. I apologize to them.The campaign was named the I Apologize campaign and was signed by 32,454 people. Armenian Genocide and the Turkish malaise
For <mask> the unanswered, unaccounted crime of Armenian Genocide constitutes a fundamental syndrome for the Turkish malaise. As he elaborates in his latest book, ideologically speaking, the regime surfs on the predispositions of the social fabric that date back to the Armenian Genocide and other mass crimes.They grow in the webs of a social fabric poisoned by mass killings and plunders which were shielded by impunity and amnesia. Able to digest the horrors of the past, the social fabric can absorb much more. In a normal country, a regime which has violated countless times the laws and the Constitution, which has created an unprecedented institutional and social wreckage and continue to do so, should have been tried accordingly. Thanks to its culture of impunity, Turkey categorically lacks such modus operandi. Obviously, present day’s unlawful political, economic and social practices appear trivial compared to past genocides, pogroms, mass killings and spoliations. Turkey looks like a museum of malicious acts, crimes that has never been questioned, whose perpetrators have always gotten away with what they had done. Thus, irresponsibility, impunity, and amnesia over past crimes result in a ‘congenital’ contempt for the rule of law.Making sense of the Turkish regime
In his latest book The Turkish Malaise Aktar attempts to make sense of the present Turkish regime. For him authoritarianism is not sufficient to describe the regime which possesses historically unprecedented mass support. Downstream, at the level of its majoritarian base, the regime enjoys a degree of popular support unmatched in the history of the Republic. In truth, there are in parallels with authoritarian archetypes from the Ottoman Ittihadist era (1908-1918) and the time of the single-party system in the first decades of the Republic (1923-1946). However, for the first time, there is a massive support of the masses, one that the Ittihadists and Kemalists greatly lacked. Any in-depth analyses of this novelty, of its roots and sources of inspiration are still in their early days. They will certainly develop further as long as this regime exists.The ‘masses’ aspect of Hannah Arendt’s theory is, in fact, fundamental to the understanding of contemporary Turkish totalitarianism. To grasp the ‘Erdoğan phenomenon’ and the regime he has built brick by brick, one must consider the support of the masses alongside other factors such as his personality, his party, his wielding and dealing aficionados, the political history of Turkey, the fatal errors of the former elite as well as the current theoretical categorizations of authoritarian regimes. The source of Erdoğan’s and his regime’s legitimacy is the majoritarian constituency made up of disparate masses which he likes to call the ‘national will’ and the ‘blessed nation’. These masses present totalitarian characteristics subsumed in a harmonious trilogy between themselves, their leader, and ideology. The opposition, with the notorious exception of the left-wing Kurds, is an integral part of the masses as the ‘national opposition’. One need only to note its elation at the regime’s military adventures, its silence in the face of support for jihadism, its endorsement of the promiscuity with the Russian regime and its congenital Kurdophobia, which the regime happily relies on.”

EU-Turkey relations: State of affairs
Regarding the future of the EU-Turkey relations, according to <mask> it is safe to say that in the history of the EU’s enlargement, starting on 1973 with the accession of Denmark, Ireland, and the UK, the first spectacular failure is the candidacy of the Republic of Turkey. It is also safe to say that this missed opportunity is the making of a coalition of unwilling between the parties concerned.Finally, the consequences of the failure, although a tad early to conclude, could be likened to a lose–lose situation which goes well beyond the parties’ interests per se, to encompass Islam’s synergy and coexistence with the rest of the world. As for Turkey, implications of the post-candidacy go beyond the simple consequences of a failed EU candidacy. By diverging from the EU path, the country consolidates and seals its de-Westernization drive to start sailing toward uncharted waters”. ±

As for the conceptual incompatibility between the EU and Turkey he underlines that from now on, it is inappropriate to bet on Turkey’s EU (and eventually NATO) commitments to, for instance, ease tensions with neighbors as the failure of the EU membership bid cancels the achievements of last twenty years in terms of good neighborly relations with member states, particularly Greece. The bellicose rhetoric and actions of last years against a number of EU countries, politicians, and citizens are strong signals of this centrifugal drive. All things considered, Ankara’s modus operandi contradicts EU’s norms, standards, values and principles which simply constitute obstacles to the “smooth” functioning of the regime. Likewise this is why Ankara regime can never be reformed.Books

<mask> (October 27, 1940 – May 28, 1990) was an American composer, pianist, vocalist, and dancer whose work is associated with musical minimalism. He was among the first composers to combine minimalist processes with elements of pop music, and involve experimental methods of extending and modifying music in creating what he called "organic music". He often gave his pieces titles with provocative political intent, such as Evil Nigger and Gay Guerrilla, and has been acclaimed following new performances and reissues of his music. Biography
<mask> grew up in Ithaca, New York, with his mother, <mask>, and younger brother, Gerry. He began studying piano at age 14 and made rapid progress. He studied at Ithaca College before transferring to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. There he studied piano with Mieczysław Horszowski and composition with Constant Vauclain, and switched majors from piano to composition, graduating in 1963.He made his debut as a pianist in 1966 at The Town Hall in New York City. <mask> had a rich, deep, and extremely flexible singing voice, for which he became noted for his 1973 Nonesuch recording of Eight Songs for a Mad King by the British composer Peter Maxwell Davies. <mask>'s talents gained the attention of composer-conductor Lukas Foss, who conducted Davies' music in performance at the Brooklyn Philharmonic. At the behest of Foss, <mask> joined the Creative Associates—a "prestigious program in avant-garde classical music" that "carried a stipend but no teaching obligations"—at SUNY Buffalo's Center for the Creative and Performing Arts. During this period, he met Petr Kotik, a Czech-born composer, conductor, and flutist. <mask> and Kotik performed together extensively in the early to mid-1970s. Along with Kotik, <mask> was a founding member of the S.E.M.Ensemble. From 1971 he performed and toured with the group, and composed numerous works for it. During this period, fifteen of <mask>'s earliest works were performed by the Creative Associates, including Stay On It (1973), an early augury of postminimalism and one of the first art music compositions inspired by progressions from popular music, presaging the later innovations of Arthur Russell and Rhys Chatham. Although <mask> began to teach theory and composition courses over the course of his tenure, he left Buffalo in 1975 following a controversially ribald performance of John Cage's aleatoric Songbooks by the S.E.M. Ensemble under the aegis of Morton Feldman. It included nudity and homoerotic allusions interpolated by <mask>. Cage was incensed and said during an ensuing lecture that <mask>'s "[ego]... is closed in on homosexuality.And we know this because he has no other ideas." Additionally, <mask>'s friend Kyle Gann has speculated that his inability to acclimate to the more bureaucratic elements of academic life (including paperwork) may have hastened his departure from the university. Shortly thereafter, <mask> settled in New York City, where he initially straddled the divide between the conventionally bifurcated "uptown" and downtown music scenes. <mask> often wrote his music following what he called an "organic" principle. Each new section of a work contained all the information from previous sections, though sometimes "the information is taken out at a gradual and logical rate." The principle is most evident in his three works for four pianos, Evil Nigger, Crazy Nigger, and Gay Guerrilla, all from around 1979. The last of these appropriates Martin Luther's hymn, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," as a gay manifesto.In 1976, <mask> participated in a performance of Eight Songs for a Mad King conducted by Pierre Boulez at Lincoln Center. He served as the first male vocalist in Meredith Monk's ensemble, as documented on her influential album Dolmen Music (1981). He fostered a strong kinship and collaboration with Arthur Russell, conducting nearly all of his orchestral recordings (compiled as First Thought Best Thought [Audika Records, 2006]) and participating (as organist and vocalist) in the recording of 24-24 Music (1982; released under the imprimatur of Dinosaur L), a controversial disco-influenced composition that included the underground dance hits "Go Bang!" and "In the Cornbelt"; both featured <mask>'s trademark bravado. During this period, he also played in a jazz ensemble with his brother Gerry, who previously played guitar in the Count Basie Orchestra. He played in and conducted the Brooklyn Philharmonia's CETA Orchestra (funded by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act under the administration of the Cultural Council Foundation). He also coordinated the Philharmonia's Community Concert Series in conjunction with Foss and other composers of color.By 1980, he was regularly touring across the United States and internationally; a recording of a performance from that year at Northwestern University was released on the posthumous compilation Unjust Malaise (2005). A 1981 piece for <mask>'s cello ensemble, The Holy Presence of Joan d'Arc, was performed at The Kitchen in New York City. In 1986, the choreographer Molissa Fenley set her dance, Geologic Moments, to music of Philip Glass and two works by <mask> (an unknown work for two pianos and "One God" in which <mask> sang and played piano), which premiered at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Despondent about what he saw as a dearth of worthy professional opportunities, <mask> grew increasingly dependent on drugs after 1983. His life fell apart; many of his scores were impounded by the New York City Sheriff's Office following an eviction in the early 1980s, further impeding his professional development. While homeless, he briefly took refuge in Tompkins Square Park. His hope for a lectureship at Cornell University also failed to materialize during this period.Despite a temporary attempt at a comeback, <mask> died alone at the age of 49 in Millard Fillmore Hospital in Buffalo, New York of cardiac arrest. No public notice was given to his death until an obituary by Kyle Gann appeared in the Village Voice; it was dated January 22, 1991, eight months after <mask> died. As <mask>'s notational methods were loose and open to interpretation, revival of his music has been a difficult task, dependent on people who worked with him. Style
<mask>'s works often involve repeating, slowly evolving and discordant aleatoric sections, and pop structures (particularly in Stay on It (1973) or The Holy Presence of Joan D'Arc (1981), which repeat but dramatically evolve catchy riffs). As well as this, his long-form piano pieces like Evil Nigger (1979) and Gay Guerrilla (c. 1980) show his intent to dramatically explore his Black and gay identity through motifs that, in tone and repetition, represent heightening conflict, particularly strong in emotion for minimalism. <mask> described his works as "organic music" involving "gradual accrual and accumulation, often followed by gradual disintegration", where he would gradually and sometimes abruptly alter repeated refrains and phrases to create the basis for sheet music and its performance. Artistic legacy
The composer Mary Jane Leach found scores by <mask>, initially posting them to her website.They are now available through G. Schirmer. In June 2006, the New York-based group Ne(x)tworks presented their score realization (by Cornelius Dufallo and Chris McIntyre) of Eastman's Stay On It at the ISSUE Project Room silo space on Carroll Street in Brooklyn. In 2007 the California E A R Unit gave a performance of Crazy Nigger at REDCAT (The Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater in the Walt Disney Concert Hall Complex). Eastman's piece Crazy Nigger was performed March 15, 2008, during 7th Edition Dag in de Branding Festival, The Hague, the Netherlands. On February 10, 2012, Luciano Chessa curated for Sarah Cahill's
L@te Series of the Berkeley Art Museum/PFA the first Eastman
retrospective. The concert included the performance of Eastman's
Evil Nigger and Gay Guerrilla for six pianos, Eastman's last known
composition, Our Father, and the first live performance of the Prelude
to the Holy Presence of Joan d'Arc, transcribed by bass Richard Mix
under Chessa's invitation. The event also included Chessa's DJ live set
of NY house music recordings featuring <mask> and his collaborators.The preview piece for this event in the SF Chronicle, by Joshua Kosman, is the first full writeup on Eastman ever to appear in a major
US newspaper. On March 26, 2013, New Amsterdam Records released an album by Jace Clayton entitled The Julius Eastman Memory Depot. The album includes performances of "Evil Nigger" and "Gay Guerilla" by David Friend and Emily Manzo that have been manipulated and re-arranged by Clayton. The album's final track is a tribute to the late composer titled, "Callback from the American Society of Eastman Supporters." Performer/Composer Amy Knoles recently created a 4.0 solo live electronic version of Crazy Nigger. She toured the Pacific Northwest and Europe in the Fall of 2013, with a program called Julius Eastman FOUND. She performed on the MalletKat with an elaborate system of loops, developed in Ableton LIVE with the Keith McMillen 12Step foot controller.Lutosławski Piano Duo (Emilia Sitarz and Bartek Wąsik) have been performing his compositions regularly since 2014. Their repertoire contains "Evil Nigger" and "Gay Guerilla" (with Joanna Duda and

A biography of <mask>, Gay Guerrilla: <mask> and His Music, edited by Renée Levine Packer and Mary Jane Leach was released in December 2015 on Eastman Studies in Music. A larger Eastman retrospective took place at the London Contemporary Music Festival in December 2016, and included the presentation of seven Eastman works, several pieces closely associated with <mask> and an exhibition, spread over three nights. On January 24, 2017, an evening of Eastman's works were presented as "A portrait of <mask>" at the long-running modern classical music series, Monday Evening Concerts, in Los Angeles.The program consisted of "Prelude to the Holy Presence of Joan d'Arc" for solo baritone singer, "The Holy Presence of Joan d'Arc" for ten cellos and "Crazy Nigger" for four pianos.

Furthermore, from 17th to 26 March, the space of SAVVY Contemporary became a documentation center dedicated to the oeuvre of <mask>. In May 2017, after more than three years of research, Bowerbird presented "That Which Is Fundamental" - a four-concert retrospective and month-long exhibition of Eastman's work. Included in the festival were the modern premieres of several of Eastman's early works, including "Macle" and "Thruway". This project was the first retrospective produced in collaboration with the Eastman Estate.In September 2017, contemporary music festival Sacrum Profanum in Krakow, presented four concerts with nine <mask>'s compositions in total. Extensive research of the curator Krzysztof Pietraszewski, assisted by Mary Jane Leach, Petr Kotik and Michał Mendyk resulted in wide and diverse composer's picture - <mask> was one of two main figures of 2017 edition of the festival (among Moondog). Petr Kotik with S.E.M. Ensemble prepared interpretations of "Joy Boy", "Our Father", "Piano 2" and "Macle", Anton Lukoszevieze and Apartment House performed "Buddha", , "Stay On It" and "Hail Mary" and Arditti Quartet performed a three string quartets version (commissioned from Tomasz Jakub Opałka by Sacrum Profanum festival) of "Evil Nigger".

Symphony No. II.The Faithful Friend, The Lover Friend's Love for the
Beloved, <mask>'s only work for large orchestra. On November 20 Chessa
conducted the orchestra of the Mannes School of Music in the premiere of Eastman II at Lincoln
Center's Alice Tully Hall in NYC to a considerable acclaim. The preview
piece in The New York Times featured clips from the rehearsal of the
piece, and a review followed

Lewis, Christine Rusiniak, Kodwo Eshun, Rocco Di Pietro, and many others. In 2020, SAVVY Contemporary published a collection of essays, librettos, lyrics, memories, photos, personal anecdotes called We Have Delivered Ourselves from the Tonal — Of, Towards, On, For <mask> Eastman with contributors like George E. Lewis, Kodwo Eshun, Mary Jane Leach, and many others. In 2018 visual artist Tiona Nekkia McClodden curated an exhibition based on her research around Eastman at New York's The Kitchen. It included performances of his work and work of contemporary artists inspired by <mask> including Carolyn Lazard, Sondra Perry, and Chloe Bass and others. In 2018 visual artist Michael Anthony Garcia and composer Russell Reed performed  with the Austin Chamber Music Festival.In 2018 publisher G. Schirmer announced it would restore, reconstruct, publish and promote his music, in collaboration with his estate managed by <mask>'s brother <mask>.

The Lublin Award recognizes undergraduate teaching excellence across all educational and research programs in the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences at Duke University. According to Duke Today, winners of the Lublin Scholarship and other teaching awards “use different approaches in different fields, but students and faculty colleagues said all share a passion for teaching, interest in innovative methods and give priority to developing their students’ capacity to think.”  In October 2013, <mask> issued a national plea for other philanthropists to endow additional teaching awards at colleges and universities across the country.In 2021, <mask>, Duke University’s Trinity College of Arts & Sciences Lecturing Fellow, Center for Documentary Studies, became the 35th recipient of the <mask> Teaching Award. Charlotte Sussman, Duke University’s Trinity College of Arts & Sciences Professor of English, was the award recipient in 2020. Other educational scholarships established by <mask> include: a student scholarship fund at Duke that awards a stipend to a graduating senior going on to law school, and a college scholarship award to a graduating high school senior in his hometown of Avon, Conn.

Much of <mask>’s philanthropic activity has been devoted to cancer and medical research. He and his late wife Jane made significant contributions to support cancer treatment and research at the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center at UConn Health. According to a 2010 UConn Foundation report, the couple’s gift “will support the work of leading clinician-scientists including Upendra Hegde, M.D. ", an associate director of medical oncology in the melanoma program. Since 2010, the <mask>s were title sponsors for UConn Health’s annual “White Coat Gala.”  In 2017, <mask> was the Founding Title Sponsor, in memory of Jane.The <mask>s also annually sponsored the UConn Cancer Research Golf Tournament, which has raised millions of dollars for cancer research since it began. In recognition of their extraordinary philanthropic activity, the University of Connecticut bestowed one of its highest awards - the Carole and Ray Neag Medal of Honor - to <mask> and <mask> at its annual White Coat Gala held on April 12, 2014. After accepting the Medal of Honor, <mask> said, "The act of giving, multiplied many times, can advance research to new levels in our efforts to eliminate cancer. We've seen what can happen when a great deal of money is given to battle a disease. The AIDS virus was once a death sentence, but adequate funding has allowed pharmaceutical companies and the medical profession to develop a treatment that allows patients to go on with their lives. More progress needs to be made with the hundreds of types of cancer." In February 2015, <mask> was formally appointed as an inaugural member of the Dean’s Advisory Board at the UConn School of Medicine.His role on the Board is to assist the Dean in identifying and advancing the primary needs of the school for issues such as scholarship, research and faculty. In 2015, <mask> was also elected to the CT and Western MA Board of the American Heart Association to help guide the organization's mission and fundraising efforts. <mask> continued his active involvement in the fight against cancer as chairman of the 2018 American Cancer Society's (ACS) Naples, FL Annual Bucket List Gala. This prestigious fundraiser has raised more than $5.5 million since its inception in 2011. Funds raised help the ACS fund its mission to save and celebrate lives, and to lead the fight for a world without cancer. For the 2018 event, <mask> hired the legendary Diana Ross to attract donors. The successful fundraiser drew 500 attendees and raised more than one million dollars for the American Cancer Society.In 2018, <mask> was elected as a member of the prestigious Laureate Society for making important strides in cancer care and cancer research. Members from the society review and evaluate grant requests for medical research annually to help determine the best investments. In 1992, the <mask>s established the Jane and Richard Lublin Research and Endowment Fund at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Mass. They later awarded the Lahey Clinic leadership gifts for research in prostate and bladder cancer, urology, and effective pain management for cancer and trauma patients. In 2014, the Lahey Clinic recognized the <mask>s for their "22 years of philanthropic support of cancer research and pain management initiatives at the Lahey Hospital & Medical Center." In 2012, they helped establish a research fund for cardiovascular surgery at Hartford Hospital in honor of Dr. Hiroyoshi Takata. Later that year, UConn Today reported that the <mask>s made “the first philanthropic gift in support of Bioscience Connecticut initiatives at the UConn Health Center.”  According to the Hartford Business Journal, Bioscience Connecticut is “the state’s $864 million attempt to reverse a two-decade-long jobs drought by creating a vibrant bioscience sector.”  In recognition of the <mask>s’ generosity, UConn Health named the new waiting room in the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center in their honor.In 1997 the <mask>s honored the memory of Jane’s father, who died from cancer, by donating the cost of constructing the waiting room at the Davenport-Mugar Cancer Center  at Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, Mass. A plaque displayed in the waiting room reads: “Given in memory of W. Victor Jensen by <mask> and <mask>.”

<mask> (Omaha, 1857–1932) was the first professional Native American ethnologist; he worked with the Smithsonian Institution. He specialized in Omaha and Osage cultures. Working closely as a translator and researcher with the anthropologist Alice C. Fletcher, <mask> wrote several articles and a book on the Omaha, plus more numerous works on the Osage. He made valuable original recordings of their traditional songs and chants. Beginning in 1908, he collaborated with American composer Charles Wakefield Cadman to develop an opera, Da O Ma (1912), based on his stories of Omaha life, but it was never produced. A collection of <mask>'s stories was published posthumously in 1998. Of Omaha, Ponca, and French descent, <mask> was the son of Omaha chief <mask> (also known as Iron Eye) and his second wife Ta-in-ne (Omaha).He grew up on the Omaha Reservation at a time of major transition for the tribe. Before the establishment of anthropology programs, <mask> earned undergraduate and master's degrees at the George Washington University Law School in Washington, DC. He made his professional life among European Americans. Early life and education
<mask> <mask> was born in 1857 on the Omaha Reservation, the first child of his father <mask>'s second wife Ta-in-ne, an Omaha woman. He was half-brother to his father's first five children. Their mother was Mary Gale, mixed-race daughter of an American surgeon and his Iowa wife. After Mary's death, the widower Joseph (also known as Iron Eye) had remarried.<mask> attended the Presbyterian Mission School at Bellevue, Nebraska. Later he attended college and law school in Washington, DC. By 1853, Iron Eye was a chief of the Omaha; he helped negotiate the 1854 treaty by which the tribe sold most of their land in Nebraska. He led the tribe as a head chief soon after their removal to a reservation and in the major transition to more sedentary lives. <mask> <mask> (Iron Eye) was Métis, of Ponca and French descent, and grew up mostly with the Omaha people. Working first as a fur trader, as an adult he was adopted as a son by the chief Big Elk. He taught him the culture and designated Iron Eye as his successor.Joseph emphasized education for all his children; several went to schools and colleges in the East. They were encouraged to contribute to the Omaha. <mask>' half-siblings became accomplished adults: Susette <mask> was an activist and nationally known speaker on issues of Indian rights and reform; Rosalie <mask> Farley was an activist and managed Omaha tribal financial affairs; and <mask> <mask> was the first Native American woman trained as a European-American style doctor; she treated the Omaha for years. Career
In 1879, Judge Elmer Dundy of the US District Court made a landmark civil rights decision affirming the rights of American Indians as citizens under the Constitution. In Standing Bear v. Crook, Dundy had ruled that "an Indian is a person" under the Fourteenth Amendment. Susette "Bright Eyes" <mask> had been involved as an interpreter for the chief Standing Bear and an expert witness on Indian issues. She invited <mask> to accompany her with Standing Bear on a lecture tour of the eastern United States during 1879-1880.They took turns acting as interpreter for the chief. In 1881 Susette and the journalist Thomas Tibbles accompanied Alice C. Fletcher, an anthropologist, on her unprecedented trip to live with and study Sioux women on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. Susette acted as her interpreter. <mask> <mask> also met and assisted Fletcher at this time, and they started a lifelong professional partnership. Nearly 20 years older than he, Fletcher encouraged his education to become a professional anthropologist. He started working with her in Washington, DC about 1881, where he also worked as an interpreter for the US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. <mask> gained a position with the Bureau of Ethnology at the Smithsonian Institution, with which Fletcher collaborated on her research.He served as a copyist, translator and interpreter. At the beginning, he helped classify Omaha and Osage artifacts. He advanced to conducting professional-level research with Fletcher, and also acted as her translator and interpreter. He graduated from the National University Law School (now George Washington University Law School) in 1892 and earned a master's degree there in 1893. In 1891 Fletcher had informally adopted the 34-year-old <mask>lesche. In their joint book and articles on the Omaha, <mask> Flesche followed the anthropological approach of describing rituals and practices in detail. During his regular visits to the Omaha and Osage, and study of their rituals, <mask> Flesche also made recordings on wax cylinders (now invaluable) of their songs and chants, as well as documenting them in writing.The young composer Charles Wakefield Cadman was interested in American Indian music and influenced by <mask>'s work. Cadman spent time on the Omaha reservation to learn many songs and how to play the traditional instruments. In 1908 <mask>che proposed a collaboration with Cadman and Nelle Richmond Eberhart, to create an opera based on his Omaha stories. Eberhart had written lyrics for Cadman's Four American Indian Songs, as well as other of his songs. The team worked for four years on Da O Ma, which was changed to feature Sioux characters. Each approached the collaboration from a different point of view, and the opera was never published or performed. <mask> contributed also to Cadman's ''The Robin Woman (Shanewis) (1918), but the composer completed the project with Tsianina Redfeather Blackstone, a Creek singer who contributed to the libretto.Beginning in 1910, <mask> gained a professional position as an anthropologist in the Smithsonian's Bureau of American Ethnology, serving there until 1929. This marked the second part of his career. He wrote and lectured extensively on his research, publishing most of his works during this time. His focus changed with his independent research on the music and religion of the Osage, who are closely related to the Omaha. His primary objective was to explain Osage ideas, beliefs, and concepts. He wanted his readers to see the world of the Osages for what it was in reality-not the world of simple "children of nature" but a highly complex world reflecting an intellectual tradition as sophisticated and imaginative as that of any Old World people. Wax cylinder recordings
<mask> recorded on wax cylinders.His recordings are held by the Library of Congress, and digitized versions of more than 60 are available online. Contemporary Osage tribal members have compared the effect of hearing the recordings of their traditional rituals to that of Western scholars reading the newly discovered Dead Sea Scrolls. Marriage and family
<mask> married Alice Mitchell in June 1877, but she died the next year. In 1879 he married Rosa Bourassa, a young Omaha woman, about the time of his tour in 1879-1880 with his sister and Standing Bear. They separated shortly before he began working in Washington, DC, in 1881 and divorced in 1884. For most of his years in Washington, <mask> shared a house on Capitol Hill with Alice Fletcher, with whom he worked closely, and Jane Gay. Fletcher and <mask>che kept the nature of their relationship private.She willed money to him at her death. Death
<mask> <mask> died on September 5, 1932 in Thurston County, Nebraska. He was buried in Bancroft Cemetery, Bancroft, Nebraska, near the graves of his father and half-sisters Susette and Rosalie <mask>. Legacy and honors

<mask> (born 2 September 1993) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for  club Doncaster Rovers. Having been associated with Burnley from the age of seven, he turned professional at the club in May 2012. He spent the first half of the 2012–13 season on loan at Barrow, and had a brief stay on loan at Hyde in the second half of the campaign. He joined FC Halifax Town and Lincoln City on loan in November 2013 and September 2014 respectively, before making his debut in the English Football League on loan at Carlisle United in November 2014. He spent the second half of the 2015–16 season and the whole of the 2016–17 campaign on loan at Chesterfield. He joined Port Vale on loan for the first half of the 2017–18 season, and then was loaned to Doncaster Rovers for the second half of the season, before he joined Doncaster Rovers permanently in May 2018. Career

<mask> started his career in the Centre of Excellence at Burnley, joining the club as a seven-year-old.He progressed through the Centre of Excellence and went on to join the under-18 side, signing a two-year scholarship in the summer of 2010. He was captain of the Burnley side that reached the semi-finals of the 2011–12 FA Youth Cup, however he missed the tail end of the season due to a bout of Infectious mononucleosis. In May 2012, on completion of his scholarship he signed his first professional contract on a one-year deal. Conference loans
In August 2012, he signed for Conference Premier side Barrow on loan until January 2013, along with fellow Burnley player Joe Jackson. He made his first-team debut in a 0–0 draw with AFC Telford United at Holker Street on 11 August. He established himself as a first-team regular as the "Bluebirds" struggled towards the bottom end of the table. Barrow manager David Bayliss looked into extending his loan deal but <mask> returned to Burnley in January, having made 21 appearances for the club.In January 2013 upon his return to Turf Moor, he made first-team bench for the 2–0 away win at Millwall, remaining an unused substitute. A month later he joined Conference Premier side Hyde on a one-month loan deal. His debut came against Kidderminster Harriers in a 4–0 away defeat on 16 February, when he replaced Josh Brizell as a second-half substitute. His first start for the club came three days later in a 1–0 defeat to Mansfield Town at Ewen Fields. He returned to Burnley late in February, having only made four appearances for Scott McNiven's "Tigers", after his loan was cut short due to a knee ligament injury he picked up in a 5–1 defeat at Alfreton Town. In April 2013, he signed a new one-year contract extension with Burnley despite having not recovered from his knee injury. In November 2013, having recovered from his injury, he signed for Conference Premier side FC Halifax Town on loan until January 2014.He played in a West Riding County Cup game defeat at Harrogate Town on 4 December, partnering 16-year old Jack Bradle at centre-back, and after the game was praised by manager Neil Aspin. He made his league debut for the club three days later in a 4–3 defeat to Woking at The Shay. It proved to be his only league appearance for the "Shaymen" as he struggled to get into the team due to the good form of other players, and he returned to Burnley in January. In July 2014, he signed another one-year extension with Burnley following the club's promotion to the Premier League. In September 2014, he was sent out on loan again, joining Conference Premier side Lincoln City on a one-month loan deal. He went straight into Gary Simpson's first-team, making his debut in a 1–0 defeat at Aldershot Town on 20 September. He scored his first senior goal ten days later in a 1–1 draw with Gateshead at Sincil Bank, scoring the opener with a header.In October 2014, he returned to Burnley having made six appearances for the "Imps" after a loan extension could not be agreed between the two clubs. Carlisle United loan
Later in the month he joined League Two club Carlisle United on an initial one-month loan deal. He made his debut for the "Cumbrians" in a 3–0 defeat at Portsmouth on 1 November, and earned praise from boss Keith Curle despite the heavy defeat. His loan was extended for a further month after he impressed in his first four appearances for the "Blues". In January 2015, he returned to Burnley following the 2–1 defeat to Newport County, having made nine appearances during his stay at Brunton Park. Chesterfield loans
On 1 February 2016, he joined League One side Chesterfield on loan until the end of the 2015–16 season. Speaking the following month, manager Danny Wilson said that "he has made a big, big difference to us at the back" and that "nobody notices him because it's just been so seamless with what he's been doing".At the end of the season, he returned to Burnley having played 18 games for the "Spireites", who posted an 18th-place finish. On 31 August 2016, <mask> re-signed for Chesterfield on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season. He was named on the EFL team of the week for his performance in a 0–0 draw at Oldham Athletic on 10 September. On 6 December, he was sent off for the first time in his career for a foul on Aaron Morley in a 2–0 EFL Trophy victory at Rochdale. On 14 February, he scored an injury-time equalizer to secure a point in a 1–1 draw away at relegation rivals Gillingham. However four days later he received his second red card of the season in a 2–1 defeat by Bury at the Proact Stadium ; after the match manager Gary Caldwell said that "you're a defender, it's going to happen". On 17 April, he scored a late consolation goal in a 3–1 defeat at Scunthorpe United, a result which relegated Chesterfield into League Two.He was a regular starter for Chesterfield, making 39 appearances in all competitions across the campaign. Port Vale loan
On 31 August 2017, <mask> joined newly-relegated League Two side Port Vale on a season-long loan. He said he was looking forward to linking up again with defensive coach Chris Morgan, who had previously coached at Chesterfield. He made his debut for the "Valiants" on 12 September as captain Antony Kay was dropped, and <mask> was praised for his performance despite the team suffering a 2–0 defeat at Luton Town. Despite being signed to the "Valiants" by Michael Brown, <mask> initially struggled for games and only actually went on to establish himself as an important part of the first-team under new manager Neil Aspin, forming an effective centre-back partnership with Nathan Smith. However he was recalled by Burnley on 29 January, much to Aspin's surprise and disappointment. Doncaster Rovers
On 31 January 2018, <mask> joined League One side Doncaster Rovers on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season.After scoring twice in Doncaster's 3–0 victory over Fleetwood Town at the Keepmoat Stadium on 17 February, he made the EFL Team of the Week. However he was sidelined for two months after fracturing his cheekbone in a 2–1 defeat at Rotherham United seven days later; "Donny" manager Darren Ferguson said that "It's a bad injury but it could've been worse in many ways. He's a tough boy, he'll get on with it". He signed a two-year contract with Doncaster on 17 May 2018. He scored two goals in 33 appearances during the 2018–19 season, having battled with Joe Wright and loanee Paul Downing to partner Andy Butler in central defence; manager Grant McCann had signed Downing in the January transfer window. He was sent off for a foul on Matt Bloomfield in a 1–0 defeat at Wycombe Wanderers on 23 November 2019. He signed a new contract on New Year's Day to keep him at the club until summer 2022, and was described as a "tower of strength" by manager Darren Moore.The 2019–20 campaign was described as a "breakout season" for <mask> by Doncaster Free Press reporter Liam Hoden, who wrote that he had "rarely been unduly troubled by an opposition forward" and was unmatched in aerial duels whilst his positioning skills had greatly improved. <mask> performed excellently throughout the 2020–21 campaign, improving his distribution skills whilst maintaining his tackling and positional ability. He scored two goals in 51 games as Doncaster posted a 14th-place finish, though admitted that veteran midfielder James Coppinger was right to question the squad's desire after a late play-off push was ended with a run of just two wins in 14 games. Style of play
The Sheffield Star described <mask> as a "straightforward 'kick it and head it' defender". Speaking in March 2017, Burnley manager Sean Dyche praised his mentality, will and desire. Career statistics
