<mask> (born 1958) is a Colombian novelist, essayist, journalist, and editor. <mask> is considered one of the most talented post-Latin American Boom writers in Latin American literature. <mask> is best known for his bestselling novel Angosta, and more recently, El Olvido que Seremos (t. Oblivion: A Memoir). Background

<mask> was born and raised in Medellín (Colombia), the only boy -among five sisters- of Cecilia Faciolince and <mask>. <mask>’s father was a prominent medical doctor, university professor, and human rights leader whose holistic vision of healthcare led him to found the Colombian National School of Public Health. After graduating from an Opus Dei-run private Catholic school, <mask> moved to Mexico City in 1978 where his father was appointed as Cultural Counselor of the Colombian Embassy in Mexico. While in Mexico, he attended literature, creative writing and poetry workshops at La Casa del Lago, the first off campus cultural center of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.In 1979, <mask> moved back to Medellín and pursued studies in Philosophy and Literature at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana. Later in 1982, he was expelled from the University for writing an irreverent article against the Pope. He then moved to Italy and completed studies on Modern Languages and Literature at the University of Turin in 1986. <mask> graduated with the highest academic honors of summa cum laude, and his thesis on Guillermo Cabrera Infante's 1967 novel Tres tristes tigres was also awarded "Dignitá di Stampa" (a special

texts: distinction that literally means "worthy of publication"). <mask> returned to his home town in Colombia in 1987, but later that year his father was murdered by the paramilitaries in a crime that brought about shock in Colombia. <mask> himself was threatened with death and had to fly back immediately to Europe; first to Spain and finally to Italy, where he established his residence for the next five years. While in Italy, <mask> worked as a lecturer of Spanish at the University of Verona until 1992.At this time, he also earned a living translating literary works from Italian to Spanish. His translations of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s The Siren and Selected Writings, Gesualdo Bufalino’s Qui Pro Quo and Umberto Eco’s Annotations to The Name of the Rose have been well received critically. He has also translated numerous works by Italo Calvino, Leonardo Sciascia, Primo Levi, and Natalia Ginzburg. Upon returning to Colombia, <mask> was appointed director of the University of Antioquia Journal (1993–1997). <mask> has been columnist for prestigious newspapers and magazines in Colombia, such as Revista Cromos, La Hoja, El Malpensante, Revista Semana, and Revista Cambio, the last co-founded by the Nobel Prize–winning Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez. He has also worked as a journalist for the newspapers El Mundo, El Colombiano, and El Espectador. He is a regular contributor to other Latin American and Spanish papers and magazines.<mask> has been a guest speaker at a number of universities worldwide, including Columbia University,

He has also been seasonal lecturer at the Università del Piemonte Orientale in Vercelli. Awarded the prestigious German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) fellowship, <mask> lived in Berlin from 2006 to 2007. He later returned to Medellín and was appointed editor-in-chief of the EAFIT University Press. Since May 2008, <mask> has been a member of the editorial board of El Espectador, the oldest newspaper in Colombia. In 2014 he was the 31st Samuel Fischer Visiting Professor at the Peter Szondi Institute of Comparative Literature at the Free University of Berlin, where he taught a seminar entitled "Literature and Violence". <mask> is an atheist.Writing

<mask> started his literary career at a very young age. He was just 12 years old when he wrote his first short stories and poetry works. <mask> was twenty one years of age when he was awarded the 1980 Colombian National Short Story Prize for Piedras de Silencio (t. Stones of Silence), a short story about a miner trapped deep underground. While still in Italy, he published his first book, Malos Pensamientos (1991) but it was only upon returning to Colombia in 1993, that <mask> become a full-time writer. <mask> forms part of a new generation of authors that emerges in Colombia beyond magical realism.

texts: often focus on the personality of the narrator and the act of narration in its pursuit of protection and power. The richness, plot, irony, permanent enticement of the reader, the intensity of his stories, as well as the seriousness of the social, historical, and human research behind his confessional narrative, stand <mask> as a brilliant recreator of the contemporary Colombian society through literature.Malos Pensamientos (1991) is a sort of James Joyce’s Dubliners short tales that offer vivid, witty, and tightly focused observations of Medellín’s everyday life back in the eighties. Asuntos de un Hidalgo Disoluto (1994; Eng. The Joy of Being Awake, 1996) deliberately models itself on two key 18th-century works: Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy and Voltaire's Candide. Like Sterne's eccentric novel, The Joy of Being Awake is a bittersweet account of the life and opinions of a man at odds with himself, narrated in nonchronological fashion with plenty of entertaining digressions and the occasional formal game. Narrated by a character who is a 71-year-old Colombian millionaire, this work is a Colombian version of the Spanish picaresque novel. Writing at the end of his life, the narrator looks back on his life of debauchery – and the failure of his high pretensions – through reminiscences to his younger mute secretary and lover, Cunegunda Bonaventura. The narrator often gives two versions of a memory: first what he wishes had happened and then what really happened.<mask>'s novel has a surface geniality that barely conceals

texts: undercurrents of discontent and despair. (2) This novel is considered as one of the better works of fiction to appear recently in Colombia. Tratado de Culinaria para Mujeres Tristes (1996; t: Recipes for Sad Women) is a book of uncertain literary genre that combines a collection of false recipes (coelacanth, dinosaur, or mammoth meat) with real recipes. The book is neither a novel nor a collection of recipes, but rather a collection of sensitive short reflections about unhappiness. With a love for droll turns of phrase, <mask> blends melancholy with even-seasoned irony in well-composed sentences. Fragmentos de Amor Furtivo (1998; t: Fragments of Furtive Love). adopts the framework of the book of One Thousand and One Nights in modified form.Every night, a woman delays her lover's departure by telling him stories of her past lovers. As a background, <mask> portraits a 1990s middle-class Medellín as a city besieged by pestilence and disenchantment, the most violent city in the world, where the intensity of violence buried its inhabitants alive. As in the Decameron, Susana and Rodrigo lock themselves up in the hills, far away from the city pestilence, and tell each other stories that would save them from death. Basura (2000; t: Garbage) is perhaps <mask>’s most experimental work. It alludes to role models, such as the storytellers Kafka or Pavese who were angst ridden for life, and tells of a writer, Bernardo Davanzati, who tosses his works directly into the garbage can.

The act of writing and the role of the reader in literature are topics which are highlighted time and again.Palabras sueltas (2002; t. Loose Words) is a book of brief cultural and political essays that were compiled from <mask>’s most successful columns written for newspapers and cultural magazines. Oriente Empieza en El Cairo (2002; t. East begins in Cairo) is a fascinating chronicle of a man’s voyage around the millenary Egypt. The narrator, accompanied by two wives, depicts two versions of the everyday reality of a mythical mega-city that brings memories of other realities, images, and stories lived in distant Medellín. Angosta (2004). Echoes of Hyperrealism rather than Magic Realism are clearly present in this award-winning novel. In a fantastical parable of Colombian society, <mask> describes a fictitious city whose population has been divided into three different castes living in separate sectors. Against the backdrop of the violent perpetuation of this system, a kaleidoscope of eccentrics from the ruling class is depicted.The novel recreates Colombia’s last years of violence with enormous synthetic capacity, complexity and efficiency, and a great deal of knowledge about the conflict. <mask> provides us with one of the very best novels on the second wave of violence during the twentieth century in Colombia.

 years. Among the thirty books to have received multiple votes was <mask>'s Angosta. El Olvido que Seremos (2006; t. Oblivion: A Memoir). It took <mask> nearly 20 years to get the courage to write this book about his father, his life and the circumstances of his murder by Colombian paramilitaries. The result is a cathartic and sentimental—but not clichéd—account of a man who fought against oppression, and social inequality and whose voice was shut down by six bullets in the head.The narration itself—which focuses more on the father’s activism and the father figure per se than on the man himself—was a process for the author; <mask> goes beyond memory, opening up his own feelings and responses to his loss and depicts his father as the symbol of the ongoing fight against injustice, thus, illuminating and strengthening the Colombian memory. Las Formas de la Pereza y Otros Ensayos (2007; t. The Forms of Laziness and Other Essays) is a book about the origin and manifestations of laziness. The author’s hypothesis is that laziness would not be a luxury but the original condition of human existence, and the starting point of all subsequent human creations. An extensive bibliography about his writings has been prepared by Professor Augusto Escobar Mesa from the University of Antioquia, and the Université de Montréal. Columnist

In the newspaper El Espectador, Faciolince publishes a weekly column where he clearly expresses his opinion. By doing this, he allows one to see sections that talk about writing and grammar in the 21st century

Faciolince, in collaborations in literature magazines like El Malpensante, exhibits his critical view of literature, what he considers to be a good writer and a good book. One can find articles like Por qué es tan malo Paulo Coelho, where one can infer things such as:

If Coelho sells more books than all of the other Brazilian writers combined, then that means his books are foolish and elementary. If they were profound books, literarily complex, with serious ideas and well elaborated, the public would not buy them because the masses tend to be uneducated and have very bad taste. <mask> does not try to be a best-seller but creates complete characters like Gaspar Medina in the novel Asuntos de un hidalgo disoluto, where one can see Medina's periodization of being a hidalgo and dissolute.

<mask> (; born 13 March 1973) is a Dutch-Surinamese former professional footballer and current coach. After beginning his career with Ajax, winning several domestic and international titles, he subsequently played in Italy for Milan, and later enjoyed a successful spell with Juventus, before being loaned out to Barcelona in 2004. He went on to play for Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur before returning to Ajax. Having struggled with injuries for two years, <mask> returned to competitive football during a brief spell with Crystal Palace before retiring at the age of 37. In 2012, he was appointed player-manager at the English League Two club Barnet. He resigned by mutual agreement as manager in January 2014. He was capped 74 times by the Netherlands at international level, scoring six goals, and represented his country at the FIFA World Cup (once) and the UEFA European Championship (three times).One of the greatest and most recognisable players of his generation, Davids often stood out on the football field due to his dreadlocked hair and the protective goggles he wore due to glaucoma. A combative and energetic, yet creative and skilful midfielder, <mask> was nicknamed "The Pitbull" by Louis van Gaal because of his marking ability, aggression, and hard tackling style of play. In 2004, he was one of the players chosen by Pelé to feature in the FIFA 100, his list of the world's greatest living footballers. Early life

<mask> was born in Suriname and is of Afro-Surinamese and partial Jewish descent from his maternal grandmother. The family moved to the Netherlands when Davids was an infant. His cousin Lorenzo is also a footballer. Club career

 his first team debut on 6 September 1991 in a 5–1 home win over RKC Waalwijk. He helped the Amsterdam club to three domestic Eredivisie titles, as well as continental success with the 1992 UEFA Cup and the 1995 UEFA Champions League. In the 1996 UEFA Champions League final, he missed Ajax's first penalty in the shoot-out, which they ultimately lost to Juventus. While at Ajax, <mask> was nicknamed "The Pitbull" by Ajax manager Louis van Gaal due to his fierce style of play in the team's midfield. Milan and Juventus

At the start of the 1996–97 season, <mask> moved to Italy to play for Milan on a free transfer alongside team-mate Michael Reiziger, both early beneficiaries of the "Bosman ruling". In an unsuccessful season in which defending champions Milan changed their manager twice and finished 11th in Serie A, <mask> broke his leg in a 1–0 defeat at Perugia on 23 February 1997. After failing to recover his place in the team he was allowed to join league rivals Juventus in December 1997 for a reduced 9 billion Italian lire (£3 million) transfer fee.At Juventus he soon became a permanent first team member in the midfield, usually playing on the left flank or in the centre, as a defensive midfielder, forming a notable midfield partnership alongside French playmaker Zinedine Zidane. Six successful years in Turin followed, with <mask> helping the side to the Serie A title in 1998, 2002 and 2003, as well as two Supercoppa Italiana and the UEFA Intertoto Cup. Juventus manager Marcello Lippi once described him as "my one-man engine room". <mask> was often inspirational in Europe, playing 15 times as the club made it all the way to the 2002–03 Champions League final before losing to Milan on penalties. He had also previously managed to reach the Champions League final

<mask> joined Barcelona on loan in January 2004 from Juventus. Joining midway through a season where the club was struggling in mid-table and recently appointed manager Frank Rijkaard was under considerable pressure, <mask> led Barça's successful resurgence of form which saw them finishing second to Valencia in La Liga.<mask>' arrival has been cited as the catalyst for the Catalan club's dominance of Spanish and European football during the mid-to-late 2000s (decade), with Barcelona winning La Liga the following season (after five years without winning the league title) and a La Liga and Champions League double in 2005–06. Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur
In the summer of 2004, <mask> permanently moved on to Italian club Inter Milan on a three-year contract. When Inter terminated the remaining years of his contract in August 2005, he moved to England on a free transfer to play for Tottenham Hotspur. He had a successful stay at Tottenham and instantly became a fan favourite. His first and only goal was in a 2–1 away win against Wigan Athletic. Davids played for Spurs in the 2005–06 and the 2006–07 seasons, with the club finishing fifth in both seasons. Return to Ajax

<mask> signed once more for Ajax on 28 January 2007 and played his first match against club rivals Feyenoord on 4 February.After the mid-season switch, <mask> proved his value for the Ajax team again. He was one of the key midfielders in the run for the Dutch championship that was lost on one single goal to PSV on the final day of the league. He also played a major role in Ajax's cup campaign. He secured the KNVB Cup for Ajax by scoring the final

Prior to the start of the 2007–08 season, <mask>' leg was broken in a pre-season friendly against Go Ahead Eagles, sidelining him for around three months. In May 2008, <mask> said he would leave Ajax when his contract expired on 30 June. Davids played against the LA Galaxy on 6 December 2008 in an exhibition match held at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand, as part of an Oceania XI All-Star team, despite the fact he is not from Oceania and has never played for an Oceanic club or national team.<mask> was in contract negotiations with English Championship club Leicester City from 22 October 2009, however he failed to make a decision for over a week and the club withdrew their offer on 30 October. Crystal Palace
On 20 August 2010, <mask> agreed a pay-as-you-play deal with English Championship club Crystal Palace. He made his debut on 24 August 2010 at left-back in the Second Round of the League Cup against Portsmouth. On 8 November 2010, he announced his departure from the club, stating it was "one of the greatest experiences of my life". International career

<mask> made his debut for the Netherlands national team on 20 April 1994 in Tilburg, in a 1-0 defeat to the Republic of Ireland. He quickly became an integral part of the squad for the next decade, though he failed to win any major tournaments for the Oranje. During UEFA Euro 1996, he was sent home by then manager Guus Hiddink for saying in a radio interview, "Hiddink should stop putting his head in some players' asses."Nonetheless, Davids remained appreciated by Hiddink, who included him in the Dutch squad for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. <mask>' most notable performance for the national team came in the second round match against FR

The Netherlands eventually finished fourth overall and <mask> was named to the official FIFA "Team of the Tournament". In 1999, <mask> began wearing protective glasses following surgery in his right eye caused by glaucoma, which developed in 1995 following eye injuries. <mask> first wore them on 4 September 1999 in a friendly match against Belgium. On 17 May 2001, <mask> was suspended by FIFA when he tested positive for the banned anabolic steroid, nandrolone.Davids played in Euro 2000, where the Netherlands reached the semi-finals before losing to Italy via penalty shootout. <mask> was again named as part of the "Team of the Tournament". During the Netherlands' Euro 2004 qualifying matches, <mask> scored the Netherlands' first qualifying goal in their opening 3–0 victory against Belarus, and subsequently played in five of the remaining seven Group 3 fixtures and both legs of the play-off victory against Scotland. After Euro 2004, new national team coach Marco van Basten appointed <mask> as captain of the team. However, lack of first team football at his club Inter meant <mask> lost his place in the national team in October 2004, thus losing the captain's armband in the process, which was later handed to goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. In October 2005, during the latter stages of qualifying for the 2006 World Cup, <mask> was recalled to the national team, though not as captain. He fell out of the picture again shortly after, thereby missing out on the Dutch squad for the World Cup.Style of play

texts: stamina in spite of his diminutive stature. Davids was renowned for his dynamic and combative style of play, tight marking of opponents, and ability to break down opposition plays as a defensive midfielder. In addition to his ball-winning ability, as well as his physical and athletic attributes, <mask> was also a highly talented and creative player, who was known for his outstanding technique, vision, acceleration, close control, quick footwork, and ball-juggling skills; his technical ability and prowess at street soccer and as a freestyle footballer earned him the nickname "The Mayor of the Street" in his youth. Davids was also a powerful striker of the ball, as well as being an accurate passer and crosser with his excellent left foot, which enabled him to create chances for teammates after winning back possession. His tactical intelligence, awareness, and ability to read the game, combined with his speed, energy, tackling, vision, and dribbling ability, allowed him to start counter-attacks after winning back possession and also enabled him to carry the ball forward, make attacking runs, and contribute to his team's offensive play by linking up the defence and the attack effectively. His versatility and wide range of skills thus enabled him to be deployed in several other midfield positions throughout his career; he was capable of playing as a left midfielder, or as a central or box-to-box midfielder, or even as a left back, and in his youth, was also deployed as an attacking midfielder, or as a second striker on occasion. Regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of his generation, although he received acclaim for his playing ability and leadership as a footballer, Davids also gained a degree of infamy due to his strong character, temper, and outspokenness,

 which often led him to be involved in conflicts with his managers; he also struggled with injuries throughout his career.Due to his aggressive and hard-tackling playing style, Davids earned several nicknames throughout his career, such as "The Piranha", "Tubarão" (The Shark), and most notably, "The Pitbull". Media
Davids has appeared in commercials for the American sportswear company Nike. In 1996, he starred in a Nike commercial titled "Good vs Evil" in a gladiatorial game set in a Roman amphitheatre. Appearing alongside football players from around the world, including Ronaldo, Paolo Maldini, Eric Cantona, Patrick Kluivert and Jorge Campos, they defend "the beautiful game" against a team of demonic warriors, before it culminates with Cantona striking the ball and destroying evil. In a global Nike advertising campaign in the run-up to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, <mask> starred in a "Secret Tournament" commercial (branded by Nike as "Scorpion KO") directed by Terry Gilliam, appearing alongside football players such as Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho, Francesco Totti, Luís Figo and Japanese star Hidetoshi Nakata, with former player Eric Cantona the tournament "referee". <mask> features in EA Sports' FIFA video game series, and was selected to appear on the cover of FIFA Football 2003 alongside Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs and Brazilian international Roberto Carlos.

In November, he started against Morecambe which Barnet lost 4–1.Near the end of December 2012, following the departure of Robson, <mask> took charge of the club by himself. <mask> scored his first goal for Barnet in February 2013 in a 2–0 home victory over Southend United. In March 2013, on the return journey from a defeat at Accrington Stanley, Davids sent the Barnet team coach back to pick up 36 supporters whose coach had broken down on the motorway and take them to the next service station. Despite initially guiding Barnet off the foot of League Two, and lifting them out of the relegation zone, Barnet dropped back into the bottom two on the final day of the 2012–13 season, following a defeat to Northampton Town, and were relegated out of the Football League at the expense of AFC Wimbledon who were able to escape by beating Fleetwood Town. On 21 May 2013, it was announced that <mask> would remain in charge of Barnet for the club's 2013–14 Conference Premier season. In July 2013, <mask> announced his decision to wear the number 1 shirt for the 2013–14 season, a shirt number traditionally worn by goalkeepers, saying that he intended to "set a trend" of midfielders wearing the number 1 shirt.

There was also controversy when it emerged that he would not attend away games that required an overnight stay, leaving assistant manager Ulrich Landvreugd to take charge. In December 2013, <mask> considered retiring from football after being sent off for the third time in the season in Barnet's 2–1 defeat by Salisbury City. <mask> resigned from his post as manager on 18 January 2014. In June 2014, Southern Counties East Football League side Greenwich Borough announced they were "in advanced talks" with Davids, with chairman Perry Skinner stating that he was "70% sure he'll come on board".

<mask> (; born 24 May 1985) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Cypriot club Omonia as a central midfielder. After playing for the reserve teams of both Barcelona and Espanyol, he went on to spend the vast majority of his career in England, mainly with Wigan Athletic, with whom he won the FA Cup in 2013. Club career

Early years
Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, <mask> emerged through FC Barcelona's youth ranks, and played once for the first team in competitive games, coming on for Thiago Motta in the 68th minute of a 6–0 win against Zamora CF for the Copa del Rey, on 11 January 2006. <mask> completed his formation with neighbours RCD Espanyol, and made his official debut with the latter in a 0–4 away defeat to Real Murcia on 23 March 2008. He appeared in a further two La Liga matches during his tenure, always as a second-half substitute. Swansea City
On 6 June 2008, <mask> signed for Swansea City of the Football League Championship on a season-long loan, for a fee of £200,000– teammate Albert Serrán also made the move, albeit in a permanent situation. He scored the winning goal with a deflected free kick against rivals Cardiff City on 23 September, in the first South Wales derby for seven years.<mask> was described by scouts as having "a lovely ability to receive the ball in space or if he is marked tightly, find space after his first touch". Whilst on loan, reports surfaced that Swansea wanted to sign him permanently and other teams were supposedly interested in acquiring his services, but nothing came of it, as manager Roberto Martínez eventually announced the club would not be able to retain the player due to his high price tag. Wigan Athletic
<mask> finished the season with 14 goals in all competitions and returned to Espanyol, being immediately sold to Premier League side Wigan Athletic on a three-year contract on 19 June 2009, with the transfer fee

He made his debut in a 2–0 victory over Aston Villa on 15 August, and netted his first goal for the club against Birmingham City on 5 December, albeit in a 2–3 home loss. <mask> scored his second league goal in a 2–0 defeat of Wolverhampton Wanderers on 2 October 2010. However, during the match, he escaped suffering a leg injury after a challenge from Karl Henry. On 17 December 2011, <mask> scored the equaliser for the hosts in a 1–1 draw against Chelsea, his fourth goal in five league games.He netted the second goal at Arsenal in the eighth minute of an eventual 2–1 away win on 16 April 2012 at the Emirates Stadium, and the Latics once again managed to avoid relegation. On 28 August 2012, <mask> scored once as Wigan defeated Nottingham Forest 4–1 away to reach the third round of the Football League Cup. On 24 November he netted a hat-trick to help his club win 3–2 at home against Reading at the DW Stadium, becoming just the second Spaniard to achieve the feat in the Premier League after Fernando Torres. On 9 March 2013, <mask> provided the cross from which Maynor Figueroa opened the scoring at Everton, and he himself added the final 3–0 for his team's third goal in as many minutes, in an eventual qualification to the semi-finals of the FA Cup. He helped them win the competition, being replaced after 81 minutes by Ben Watson, who went on to score the winning goal; however, only three days later, with him on the pitch again, the side were relegated from the top division following a 1–4 away defeat to Arsenal. <mask> remained at Wigan for their first season back in the Championship, and also took part in the club's inaugural campaign in the UEFA Europa League. On 12 December 2013, in the last group stage match, he scored a penalty kick

 to put his team ahead at NK Maribor, but the Slovene ultimately won 2–1.Sunderland
On 29 May 2014, <mask> signed a three-year deal with Sunderland on a free transfer after his contract at Wigan expired. He made his debut on 16 August, coming on as a 68th-minute substitute for Jack Rodwell in a 2–2 draw away to West Bromwich Albion, and scored his first goal 11 days later August in a 3–0 League Cup second round victory at Birmingham City. <mask> scored his first league goal for his new team on 3 November, the second in a 3–1 away win over Crystal Palace. His third goal of the campaign came on 13 December, where he scored a penalty to open the scoring in a 1–1 draw at home to West Ham United. On 3 February 2015, <mask> netted another penalty in a 3–1 win at Fulham in an FA Cup fourth round replay. On 2 May, again from 12 yards, he scored once in each half as the Black Cats defeated Southampton 2–1 at the Stadium of Light. The following week, his shot was deflected in by Danny Graham to give the latter his first Sunderland goal, in a 2–0 away victory over Everton; still in that month, he was ruled out for the last three games of the season with a fractured kneecap.In the last minutes of the 2016 winter transfer window, after making only six appearances in the first half of the season, <mask> was loaned to Championship club Blackburn Rovers until June. He scored in his debut on 6 February, helping to a 1–1 draw at Middlesbrough. Three weeks later he netted twice, including a last-minute winner from a 30-yard free kick in a 3–2 win against Milton Keynes Dons at Ewood Park. Later career
On 17 August 2016, <mask> rejoined Wigan Athletic on a one-year contract. He returned to Spain after nearly nine years on 31 January 2017, signing with Rayo Vallecano of the Segunda División. <mask> moved to Bulgarian club PFC Levski Sofia on 6 July 2017, on a two-year deal. Thirteen months

<mask> (), also Levon I or <mask> I, (unknown – Constantinople, February 14, 1140) was the fifth lord of Armenian Cilicia or “Lord of the Mountains” (1129/1130-1137). He learned to exploit the open, yet restrained, hostilities between the Byzantine Empire and the Crusader principalities of Edessa and Antioch. Most of his successes benefited from Byzantium’s pre-occupation with the threats of Zengi (the atabeg of Mosul) from Aleppo and the lack of effective Frankish rule, especially in the Principality of Antioch. He expanded his rule over the Cilician plains and even to the Mediterranean shores. In his time, relations between the Armenians and the Franks (the Crusaders), two former allies, were not always as courteous as before: a major cause of dissension between them was the ownership of the strongholds of the southern Amanus, and on the neighboring coasts of the Gulf of Alexandretta. <mask> was captured after being invited to a meeting by the Byzantine Emperor John II Comnenus, who had sworn a false promise of peace. <mask> and two of his sons were taken captive and imprisoned in Constantinople where <mask> died shortly after.His early life
<mask> was the younger son of Constantine I, lord of Armenian Cilicia. It is likely that his mother was the great-granddaughter of Bardas Phokas. When Constantine I died, <mask>’s brother Thoros I succeeded him; <mask> may have ruled in the eastern part of “the Mountains” during the lifetime of his brother (although the basis of this proposition is not known). Sometime between 1100 and 1103, Count Baldwin II

 of Edessa gave his sister in marriage to <mask>; but the name and origin of his wife are not known with certainty. It is also possible that his wife was Baldwin II’s sister-in-law, a daughter of the Armenian Gabriel of Melitene. In 1111, Sultan Malik Shah of Iconium entered Armenian territories, and two of the commanders of <mask>’s brother were killed in battle. Saddened by this loss, <mask> was so enraged that he launched a savage attack against the Turks and drove them into retreat.In 1118, <mask> assigned by his brother brought a contingent to help Prince Roger of Antioch at the siege of Azaz (today A'zāz in Syria). His rule

Thoros I died in 1129 (or in 1130), and his son Constantine II died a few months later, in the course of a palace intrigue. Other authors (e.g., Jacob G. Ghazarian, Vahan M. Kurkjian) suggest that Thoros I died without a male heir and was directly succeeded by <mask>. Conflicts with the Franks
In February 1130, Bohemond II, Prince of Antioch, whose ambition was to restore his principality, thought that the moment had come to recover Anazarbus (a former Antiochene town which had fallen into the possession of Thoros I). He marched with a small force up the river Jihan towards his objective. <mask> was alarmed and appealed for help to the Danishmend emir, Ghazi. As Bohemond II progressed carelessly up the river, meeting only light resistance from the Armenians, the Danishmend Turks fell on him and massacred the whole of his army.However, it was due to Byzantine intervention that the Turks did not follow up their victory;

texts: and Anazarbus remained in Armenian hands – Michael the Syrian says that John II Comnenus at once started an offensive against the Turks. Soon after Bohemond II’ death, <mask> protected in his rear by an alliance with the Danishmend emir, descended into the plain; after a brief unsuccessful siege of Seleucia, he seized the three cities of Mamistra, Tarsus and Adana in 1131. In 1133, <mask> captured Sarventikar, on the slopes of the Amanus Mountains, from Baldwin of Marash. But the Armenian hold over Cilicia was weak: bandits found refuge there, and pirates hung about its coasts. In 1136, the new prince of Antioch, Raymond I decided that his first action must be to recover Cilicia. With the approval of King Fulk of Jerusalem he marched with Baldwin of Marash against <mask>. But <mask>, with the help of Count Joscelin II of Edessa (who was his nephew), drove back the Antiochene army.Triumphant, <mask> agreed to have a personal interview with Baldwin of Marash, who treacherously made him prisoner and sent him off to captivity in Antioch. In <mask>’s absence his three sons quarreled: the eldest, Constantine, was eventually captured and blinded by his brothers. Meanwhile, the Danishmend emir, Mohammed II ibn Ghazi, invaded Cilicia, destroyed the harvest. Shaken by these disasters, <mask> bought his freedom by offering to give up the Cilician cities (Sarventikar, Mamistra and Adana) to Raymond I; in addition he paid 60,000 gold pieces and gave his son as a hostage; but on his return home he forgot his promise. A desultory war broke out again, till,

 early in 1137, Joscelin II patched up a truce between the combatants. An alliance was then formed against the Emperor John II Comnenus, who was then pressing his claims against Antioch as well as Cilicia. The (re-)occupation of Cilicia by the Byzantines
In the spring of 1137, the imperial army, with the Emperor and his sons at its head, assembled at Attalia (today Antalya in Turkey) and advanced eastward into Cilicia.<mask> moved up in an attempt to check its progress by taking the Byzantine frontier fortress of Seleucia, but was forced to retire. The Emperor swept on, past Mersin, Tarsus, Adana and Mamistra, which all yielded to him at once. <mask> relied on the great fortifications of Anazarbus to hold him up. Its garrison resisted for 37 days, but the siege engines of the Byzantines battered down its walls, and the city was forced to surrender. <mask> retreated into the high Taurus Mountains, while the emperor led his forces southward into the plain of Antioch. After the emperor had asserted his authority over the Principality of Antioch, he returned to Cilicia to finish off its conquest. The family castle of Vahka (today Feke in Turkey) held out for some weeks.Eventually John invited <mask> to a meeting under a false promise of peace, where the prince was captured. <mask> and two of his sons, Roupen and Thoros, were subsequently taken prisoner.

Lady <mask>  (née Walpole, 11 December 1919 – 18 September 2019) was an English-New Zealand horticulturist who founded Rosemoor Garden. She offered the garden to the Royal Horticultural Society in 1988. In 1990 she married <mask> and went to live on his farm at Tiniroto, Gisborne, New Zealand. She then created the Homestead Garden of Hackfalls Arboretum. Biography
<mask> was born in 1919 to the Walpole family in England. Her father was Robert Horace Walpole, the fifth and last Earl of Orford (10 July 1854 – 27 September 1931, New Zealand). He married twice.His second marriage was on 15 September 1917 to Emily Gladys Oakes (thereafter styled as Countess of Orford), daughter of Rev. Thomas Henry Royal Oakes. One of the Walpole family members had been recorded at the siege of Acre in 1191. Later generations remained an established part of the British political, cultural and literary world. Some famous ancestors were:
 Sir Robert Walpole (1676–1745), the first Earl of Orford, who became Britain's first prime minister in 1721. He made significant plantings at Houghton Hall, Norfolk, England. Horace Walpole (1717–1797), the youngest son of Sir Robert, who became the fourth and last Earl of Orford of the first creation in 1791.He also was a knowledgeable plantsman. Recreated for a cousin in 1806, the title passed through the generations, <mask>'s father becoming the last Earl in 1894. He was aged 67 when she was born. He had no son, and decided to make over the family estate of Wolterton Hall (North Norfolk) of  to a distant male cousin (who became Baron Walpole) in 1928. He emigrated to Manurewa, New Zealand, in 1928, and died in 1931. In 1923 he had bought a 40-acre () property called Rosemoor in North Devon as a fishing lodge. <mask> and her mother lived there after 1928, interspersed with three visits to New

The free life in New Zealand suited her. <mask> did not go to school and had a governess, but she used to dodge her, going hunting. Back in England as a debutante proved to be a restricting time with all the social niceties including being present at Court. Her mother created some of the earliest garden features at Rosemoor, such as the Stone Garden, which still lies at the heart of <mask>'s garden. On 25 November 1939, <mask> married Colonel Eric Palmer. Her early married life was spent "camp following" the regiment, including two and a half years in Northern Ireland.Rosemoor was loaned to the Red Cross as a rest home for Londoners from the East End suffering the effects of the Blitz. Her first son John Robert was born on 6 March 1943, her second Anthony Eric Fletcher was born 4 November 1945. After the war her husband bought more land around Rosemoor and established a dairy farm. <mask>'s passion was horses in those days. "Lady <mask>'s initiation into gardening was somewhat akin to the conversion of St. Paul." In 1959 <mask> stayed in Algeciras, Spain, for two weeks to recuperate from measles.There she met Collingwood Ingram, a well-known English plantsman, who opened her eyes to the world of plants. Collingwood Ingram sent loads of plants to Rosemoor from his own garden in Benenden, Kent. This was the start of a marvellous collection. In 1960 serious development of the garden started. Soon there were other mentors such as Lionel Fortescue (The Garden House at Buckland Monachorum), the Heathcoat-Amory family of Knightshayes Court and others. <mask> rapidly grew a knowledge on conditions that plants needed. Travels to New Zealand and Australia, Papua New Guinea, Japan, North America and temperate South America allowed her to see plants

Robin Herbert, who later became a president of RHS invited her to join Floral Committee 'B' which judged woody plants and new introductions. She was also a founder member of the National Council for the Preservation of Plants and Gardens (NCCPG). In 1965 <mask> joined the International Dendrology Society (IDS). In the 1970s she chaired the tours committee for nine years until about 1983. She then became chairperson of the society for nearly five years. In 1970 she visited New Zealand and went to see Eastwoodhill Arboretum, Ngatapa, Gisborne.Its founder, William Douglas Cook had died a few years before. "Despite its then run-down condition it was to me a very impressive collection, at that time managed single-handedly by Bill Crooks", she remembered. In 1977 a group of members of the IDS visited New Zealand again. She then nominated Eastwoodhill for the first brass plaque presented by the IDS for tree collections of outstanding merit. She then visited Abbotsford Arboretum (now Hackfalls Arboretum), the creation of <mask> for the first time. In 1979 <mask> started a small nursery at Rosemoor. By 1987 the catalogue had expanded to over 1000 items.She developed a collection of less common trees, and of Hollies (Ilex) and Dogwood (Cornus), later resulting in Rosemoor holding part of the UK NCCPG National Collection for these plants. In 1980 her husband died. In 1988 she offered Rosemoor to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS): the house and the garden (), and the remaining  of the estate, that was farmland. By 1990 Rosemoor was opened as a "garden for all seasons". In 1990 <mask> led a group of IDS members to Hackfalls Arboretum for the second

 time. She married <mask> later that same year. "The story of Bob and <mask> of Hackfalls is a classic one in terms of the bonds created by dendrology".The marriage took place in England, but they came to live at Tiniroto. In July 2006 Bob and <mask> left Hackfalls Station to live in Gisborne town. <mask> died in 2018 aged 102; Lady <mask> died 18 September 2019, three months short of her 100th birthday. Rosemoor Garden

Rosemoor Garden was created by Lady <mask> over a period of some thirty years, from about 1960 to 1988. She described it as "a sort of mini Wisley". Wisley is the "flagship garden of the RHS". In 1988 she gave the garden to the Royal Horticultural Society, together with an additional  of land.Christopher Bailes, curator of Rosemoor Garden, stated in 1988: "Lady <mask>'s garden was (and remains) a very personal garden, largely informal and relaxed in style, with extensive areas of parkland and arboretum. The 'new' RHS developments were intended both to expand upon and to complement the existing garden, featuring diverse and wide-ranging plantings, many in a more formal framework, with particular emphasis on ornamental and productive horticulture." Hackfalls Arboretum

Hackfalls Arboretum, Tiniroto, Gisborne, New Zealand, was the creation of <mask>, who started planting trees at his station in the 1950s, and created interesting collections of poplars, maples, oaks etc. Bob became a member of the IDS in 1977 and in October 1982 joined a tour to Mexico, which was the beginning of a particular interest in Central American Oaks (Quercus), which would later form the most important part of the collection of Hackfalls Arboretum. In later years other trips to Mexico followed to collect acorns. When <mask> came to live at Hackfalls Station in 1990 the management of the farm had already been taken over by

Hackfalls Station had been the name of the original property of the <mask> family at Tiniroto, when they first came to live there at the beginning of the 20th century.The collection of the arboretum at 1990 contained about 3,000 taxa. The number of different species of trees, shrubs and climbers has been enlarged since then. <mask> extended the homestead garden at Hackfalls and introduced many new plantings. In 1993 the arboretum was protected by a covenant with the Queen Elizabeth II National Trust. Since 2006 Diane Playle takes care of the arboretum and the homestead garden.

 Entertainment
While living in Paris, he met businessman and musician Haim Saban, with the two becoming close friends and frequent collaborators. In an interview, <mask> recalled "Haim said, 'We'll be co-composer.You do the composing, I'll do the deals.' I figured, 'Great. Brothers.' That was the last business conversation we had for many years. We were partners. We never had a written agreement. It was all verbal."They eventually moved to Los Angeles and founded Saban Entertainment, a production company responsible for numerous animated shows and Japanese adaptions, such as Digimon, X-Men, Spider-Man and Power Rangers. The company was sold to The Walt Disney Company by the end of 2001. During the 1980s and 1990s, he was noted for composing a large volume of television music; according to BMI's music publishing database, he has written a combined total of 3,928 themes, background scores and songs. In a 1998 investigation by The Hollywood Reporter, it was revealed that many of these compositions were ghostwritten by other composers, in order for <mask> and Haim Saban to gain control of all publishing rights and music royalty revenue. On October 3, 2013, <mask> <mask> started working on a TV show he created called Tribe Of The Wild which was originally set for a 2014 release, but got delayed to 2015 instead. <mask> also signed a first-look production deal with Relativity Media to oversee worldwide distribution, finance and production for <mask>'s content in the children's and family space, Tribe Of The Wild was the first show under the deal.

<mask> (15 May 1923 – 19 December 2009) was a professional footballer who spent 18 seasons with Scunthorpe United, and holds the club's all-time appearance record, having played 597 league games, and 791 first-team games overall for the club. He was a defender, playing in the left-back position. Playing career
Originally from Doncaster, <mask> left school aged 15 and spent the duration of the Second World War working as a miner at nearby Bentley Colliery. He began playing part-time for Frickley Colliery, before being recruited for Hull City's 1946–47 Third Division North season. Continuing to play part-time alongside his work as a miner, <mask> made 11 league and cup appearances for The Tigers, before being released after allegations that he had fallen out with manager Major Frank Buckley after accidentally sitting on Buckley's dog on the way to an away game. He then returned to his first club Frickley Colliery and despite them finishing bottom of the Midland League, <mask>
re-established his reputation as the league's best left-back. This inspired then-leading non-league club Scunthorpe & Lindsey United to sign him for the princely sum of £2, plus expenses.<mask> continued to play football part-time alongside his work as a miner for the first three years of his career at Scunthorpe, before their election to the Football League in 1950. This elevation led to him accepting then-manager Leslie Jones's offer of a full-time professional contract of a £9 basic weekly wage, which was reduced to £6 in the summer. <mask> went on to make a club-record 597 league appearances (and 783 in all competitions, including non-league and cup games), during his 18 seasons as a player at the Old Showground. These records will almost certainly never be beaten, as he sits an enormous 322 appearances clear of second-place Paul Longden on the club's

His excellent disciplinary (he was never once booked in his entire career) and injury records ensured that he only missed 26 League matches and never missed an FA Cup game across his whole time at the club. With Scunthorpe having already been crowned Third Division North champions prior to their final 1957–58 game, <mask> later alleged that he was offered a bribe by an un-named visiting Carlisle United official to ensure Scunthorpe threw the game – guaranteeing Carlisle's place in the upcoming de-regionalised 1958–59 Third Division season."I was standing in the tunnel before the game and when someone approached me and offered us money to lose the game. I immediately told them to ‘Get stuffed!’ and we went out to show them how we could play. I would never throw a game”. <mask> later scored in a 3–1 Scunthorpe victory which consigned Carlisle to the Fourth Division. Arguably <mask>'s finest hour in a Scunthorpe shirt arrived in their 1960-61 FA Cup campaign and their 6–2 Third Round victory over top-flight Blackpool. As left-back, <mask> was directly responsible for marking the legendary "Wizard of Dribble" Sir Stanley Matthews, with ex-England manager Graham Taylor remembering how Matthews "never got a kick against <mask>." The Independent newspaper also recalled how Matthews was "was humbled by Scunthorpe's finest, at one point even changing his boots in a vain attempt to make an impact."Matthews and <mask> were due a reunion in the following 1961–62 Second Division season, but when <mask> asked Stoke City's stand-in outside-right why Matthews wasn't in the team, he was told: "He was until he saw your name on

 the team-sheet!” <mask> later described this reply as the "ultimate compliment". Later that season, <mask>'s Scunthorpe finished an all-time club high of fourth in the Second Division, but having controversially sold star-striker Barrie Thomas in January, <mask> later bemoaned the missed opportunity: “I’m certain that if we hadn’t sold Barrie, we would’ve made the First Division. The directors said we couldn’t afford to go into the top flight and that disillusioned the players.”

Having previously turned down lucrative moves to bigger clubs, including to the likes of Manchester City, <mask> made his final professional appearance against Workington on 29 September 1964, at the age of 41. Coaching

Rejecting a two-year contract from Lincoln City that would have kept him playing, <mask> immediately transitioned to coaching – becoming Scunthorpe United's club trainer. He would go on to become the only club figure involved in both of Scunthorpe United's only two runs in history to the FA Cup Fifth Round. The first in 1957–58 as player and the second in 1969–70 as coach. His keen work ethic and knowledge of the game were cited as being instrumental in helping develop numerous players of the era, including Ray Clemence and Kevin Keegan.Keegan particularly praised <mask>, saying: "He was great with me when I was developing as a player. I think we may have got on so well because he was from a similar background. He wasn't easy on us and was definitely a hard taskmaster. He always demanded 100 per cent and that is a great value to teach young players. I used to envy <mask>, because he was good at everything technical and could repair anything. He believed that if you were fit, you could run for 90 minutes. Whether or not you could play was another matter!"It also later transpired that <mask> was instrumental in Keegan's dramatic

 transfer from Scunthorpe to Liverpool, personally recommending the player to legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly; with Keegan himself later recalling: "My move to Liverpool really came out of the blue. <mask> had a big part to play in it." <mask> was later controversially dismissed from his coaching role at the club prior to the 1973–74 Fourth Division campaign, however. "I did feel a bit bitter when I got the bullet. Nobody ever told me why I was sacked, but my understanding was that a coach had written to the club asking if there were any vacancies and I created one! I was exceptionally disappointed that I was dispensed with in this way after all the service." After 25 years of service, <mask> was offered a testimonial, (something he had never had as a player), as a 'golden goodbye', but refused, stating: "I wasn't happy about that because it would have meant the supporters having to pay for it.I didn't think that was fair." This was <mask>'s final role within football. Honours

He was also chosen to play five times by the Third Division North against the Third Division South, but was only able to play in two of the matches due to his club commitments. The Professional Footballers' Association Hall of Fame. Legacy

Throughout <mask>'s career, he won many admirers, including legenday Liverpool manager Bill Shankly and England boss Graham Taylor.Shankly called <mask> "the finest full-back operating outside the top division" and "the best full-back never to play for England"; whilst Taylor cited <mask> as one of his footballing "heroes", before adding: "<mask> ... must have played 2,000 games for Scunthorpe.

 penalty taker." Despite his acrimonious departure, <mask> returned to the Old Showground as the club's guest of honour for their final-ever game at the ground in 1988. And when the club was previously on the verge of bankruptcy in 1981, he had also helped organise a fundraising match, with a '<mask>word XI' boasting the likes of Kevin Keegan and <mask> taking part. He was also made a Vice-President of Scunthorpe United and President of the Scunthorpe United Official Supporters Club. The approach road to Glanford Park, Scunthorpe United's current home, was named <mask> Way on 4 July 2010 as a memorial to him.In early 2012, the Winterton Iron Supporters' Club raised thousands of pounds for the Scunthorpe Alzheimer's Society in memory of <mask>; with his widow Queenie, plus many of his ex-teammates and colleagues, including Kevin Keegan, attending. Personal life

<mask> married his wife Queenie on Saturday 19 December 1953 at St. Andrew's Church in Burton-upon-Stather, on the morning of Scunthorpe's 2–1 victory over local rivals Grimsby Town. Following his departure from Scunthorpe, <mask> became a sales rep for a local glass company in Scunthorpe, until his retirement in 1988. After a prolonged battle with Alzheimer's disease, <mask> passed away at the age of 86 on 19 December 2009, his 56th wedding anniversary. There is also a small memorial stone dedicated to him in St. Andrew's churchyard Burton-upon-Stather; the village where he had remained settled for more than 60 years since first signing for Scunthorpe.

<mask> (born 5 February 1970) is an Australian cricket coach and former cricketer who coached the Australian national team. <mask> made his ODI debut in 1996 and Test debut in 1998. He was on the fringes of national selection for the entirety of the 1990s, and only became a regular in the ODI team in 2001 and Test team in late 2002, before being dropped in early 2005. Primarily an aggressive left-handed batsman, <mask> was also a part-time left arm orthodox bowler, and gained renown for his disregard for physical fitness and modern dietary regimes. He announced his retirement from first-class cricket in November 2007. He coached the IPL teams Deccan Chargers from 2009 to 2012 and Kings XI Punjab in 2013. He also coached Queensland during the 2010/11 KFC Twenty20 Big Bash, in place of Trevor Barsby who had resigned.In June 2013, <mask> replaced Mickey Arthur as the coach of the Australian cricket team, only two weeks before the 2013 Ashes series. Although Australia lost that series 3-nil, <mask> went on to coach the side to a 5-nil victory in the 2013–14 series less than five months later. <mask> stepped down as head coach after the fourth test match against South Africa in March 2018, following the ball tampering scandal which he perpetuated that occurred during the match. He was originally thought to have been involved in the scandal, however Cricket Australia cleared him of blame at the conclusion of their investigation. Early years
 Of German-Australian descent, <mask> was a junior representative for South Australian National Football League (SANFL) club Central District as well as playing cricket. <mask> left school at the age of 16 to work on the assembly line of Holden car manufacturers in Elizabeth, South Australia. He declined selection to the first intake of the newly formed Australian Cricket Academy, a full-time cricket centre, citing his enjoyment of the factory life.<mask> entered the first-class scene as a 17-year-old in the 1987/88 season for South Australia, playing one match against Victoria at the Melbourne Cricket Ground after both

texts: Tim May and Peter Sleep were called into the national team. After making 10, <mask> was omitted upon their return and did not play any further part in the season. In 1988/89, South Australia were at the bottom of the ladder, when coach Barry Richards called <mask> into the team, playing against Western Australia at the WACA. <mask> remembered little of the match; after being struck in the right temple by a Bruce Reid bouncer, he was knocked unconscious and temporarily ceased breathing. <mask> made his mark in the following match against New South Wales Blues at Adelaide Oval, reaching 50, but the innings was marred by the manner in which it was ended. Going for a quick single, <mask> collided with bowler Geoff Lawson and was run out after falling over. However, Richards and South Australian captain David Hookes claimed that Lawson had tripped <mask>, leading to a confrontation between the two teams.In 1989/90, <mask> came into contention for national selection, after scoring 228 runs at the age of 19 in a match against New South Wales in that season. He also scored a century against the touring New Zealand cricket team and followed that with centuries in three consecutive Sheffield Shield matches. Having scored over 700 runs in the first half of the season, <mask> was drafted into the Australian squad for the New Year's Test against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground after both openers David Boon and Geoff Marsh were injured. As <mask> was not an opener, Mike Veletta and Tom Moody were selected, and he was relegated to being 12th man. <mask> was also called into the squad for the triangular ODI series, but after being unused, he was replaced by Mark Waugh. The following year, <mask> was lured to move to Victoria by John Elliott and Ian Collins, then directors of the Carlton Football Club with a lucrative deal for him to play district cricket for Carlton, as well as the Victorian state team. <mask> believed that he had a better chance of international selection, feeling that selectors disregarded batting performances at Adelaide Oval on the

 perception that it was a flat track.<mask> was not, however, rewarded with international selection, but he did participate in a Shield victory in 1990/91. He was fortunate to play in the final, having needed facial surgery prior to the match after being struck in the nose during a training session. Following another season, <mask> expressed dissatisfaction, and returned to South Australia. South Australia and Yorkshire: 1993/94 to 2007/08
From the 1993/94 season until 2007/08, <mask> played domestic cricket for his home state, South Australia, as well as for Yorkshire in England (from 1997 until 2006). During this time, <mask> had great success as a player for both teams and he captained them both; South Australia from 1998/99 until 2006/07 and Yorkshire in 2002. Playing for South Australia in this period, <mask> scored over 10,500 runs in 107 first-class appearances for the state, at an average of around 55. In 1995/96 he was a part of the South Australian team that claimed the Sheffield Shield.He made 37 centuries with a top score of 301 not out against Western Australia at the Adelaide Oval in 2005/06. He also took 44 wickets at an average of 38.06. He held the record for the most first-class runs scored and first-class games played before selection to the Australian Test team prior to Michael Hussey's Test debut in 2005. He currently holds the record for the most runs in the history of the Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup with 12971, over 2000 more than the second highest run scorer, Jamie Cox. Whilst he had great success as a player, his captaincy record was not as distinguished; South Australia did not win any silverware under his captaincy and he quit the role at the end of the 2006/07 season after South Australia managed to win only one Pura Cup game. <mask> announced his retirement on 19 November 2007 citing injury concerns as the main reason behind his decision to quit. He ended his limited-overs career for South Australia on 21 November with an unbeaten 126 from 104 balls in an unbroken 236 partnership with Matthew Elliott (a South Australian

From 1997 until 2006, <mask> represented Yorkshire as an overseas player. He is by far the most successful overseas player to represent the club since the members first voted to allow overseas players in 1992, having played 88 County Championship games, scoring 8871 runs at an average of 68.76. In 2001 he helped Yorkshire to their first County Championship title since 1968, with 1416 runs in 13 games at an average of 83.29. He scored 26 centuries with a top score of 339 against Durham in 2006 during his final game for the club, helping Yorkshire to avoid relegation by a single point. It is the highest individual first-class innings at Headingley, surpassing Don Bradman's 334 against England in 1930, and the second highest for Yorkshire behind George Hirst's 341 against Leicestershire in 1905. He also holds the record for the highest one-day score for Yorkshire, 191 from 103 balls against Nottinghamshire at Scarborough in 2001.He took 61 wickets at an average of 32.00 in County Championship games. As with South Australia, his captaincy record was not as distinguished as his playing record. He captained Yorkshire only in the 2002 season during which they were relegated to the second division of the County Championship. They did, however, win the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy, the 50-over-a-side limited overs competition, under his captaincy. <mask> was a very popular member of the Yorkshire team amongst both the fans and the club hierarchy.

Simpson was regarded as one of the best fielders to have played the game, and was renowned for his heavy emphasis on fielding and fitness, the weakest aspects of <mask>'s game. With Simpson's retirement at the end of the 1996 Cricket World Cup, <mask> made his ODI debut later in the year in Sharjah after injuries to other players. He was a sporadic member of the team until the 1997/98 Australian season, when captain Mark Taylor was dropped from the team. <mask> then became a semi-regular member of the ODI team, and also toured India in early 1998. <mask> made his Test debut in the Third Test against India in March 1998 in Bangalore, after Steve Waugh suffered a hamstring injury. <mask> scored 52 on debut, as well as claiming Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin while bowling.Selectors were impressed with his performance,  and when Waugh returned from injury on the tour of Pakistan later that year, Ricky Ponting was instead dropped. <mask> scored 98 in the First Test in Rawalpindi, but an injury forced him out of the Second Test in Peshawar in which Taylor scored a (then) Australian record 334 not out on a flat pitch in a high-scoring drawn match. <mask> failed to perform in the final Test in Karachi and, despite scoring his maiden ODI century, he was dropped for the first two Tests of the 1998/99 Ashes series. Ponting was recalled by the selectors, under the justification of "horses for courses", as he was regarded as a superior player of pace bowling but weaker in spin, with the first two Tests being held on bouncy wickets in Brisbane and Perth. However, failures by Ponting in the first three Tests saw <mask> recalled to the team for the final two Tests in Melbourne and Sydney. Further failures by <mask> in those Tests saw him dropped in early 1999 from the Test team to tour the West Indies, who had a pure pace attack. <mask> retained his position, however, in the ODI team, and scored another century during the West

However, upon his return to Australia, he was dropped from the ODI team in favour of Damien Martyn, who was the reserve batsman. <mask> spent the 1999/2000 international season out of the team, and was not given an opportunity again until the 2000/01 season. During that season Australia was in dominant form, winning all five Tests. Captain Steve Waugh took the opportunity to introduce a rotation system for the ODI series, and <mask> was allowed regular matches as all members of the team were periodically rested. Despite topping the averages and Steve Waugh having the lowest among the batsmen during the round-robin stages of the triangular tournament, <mask> was dropped for the finals series, as he was the least senior batsman in the team. <mask> did not receive further chances in the Test format either, as Matthew Hayden, Damien Martyn and Simon Katich were all recalled in 2000 and 2001 when other players were dropped.Following Hayden's heavy scoring in the 2001 Border-Gavaskar Trophy in India, he was afforded a place in the ODI squad, and <mask> was removed altogether from the squad during the 2001/02 season. Australia however faltered during the campaign, and <mask> was recalled for the final match of the series, in which he top scored. After Australia failed to qualify for the finals, batsmen Mark and Steve Waugh were dropped from the ODI team, and <mask>'s ODI position became permanent. Later in 2002, Mark Waugh was dropped from the Test team, and <mask> was recalled for the first time in almost four years. After playing three Tests without posting a large score, <mask> was injured, and Martin Love replaced him. <mask> came under more pressure upon his return, when during an ODI against Sri Lanka, he had an error of judgment and was run out. Upon returning to the dressing room, he made an offensive racial comment which saw him banned for five ODI matches, becoming the first player banned for racial

His Test career was again put on hold, when he was injured in November against Zimbabwe, allowing Katich to play in his place and score a century and top score in both innings in the Fourth Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground to stake a claim for <mask>'s spot. However, Steve Waugh retired after the series, and both players were included on the tour to Sri Lanka. There, <mask> scored consecutive centuries on turning tracks against Muttiah Muralitharan to help Australia to a 3–0 clean sweep despite conceding a first innings lead in each of the matches. <mask>'s position was again called into question on the 2004 tour to India when Michael Clarke had an opportunity to debut in Bangalore on the 2004 India tour, when Ricky Ponting broke his thumb, and Clarke scored 151 in his first innings in Test matches.When Ponting returned, the Australian selectors were obliged to select Clarke, meaning that they had to drop <mask> or Katich. <mask> publicly offered to be dropped following a run of poor form, but the selectors did not take the offer, and the younger Katich was instead dropped. <mask> stayed on briefly, but after two ungainly dismissals to Pakistani paceman Shoaib Akhtar in the first Two Tests of the 2004/05 series, in which <mask> was out of position after wandering across the crease, he was dropped in favour of Shane Watson for the Sydney Test. Another maligned shot selection in the following ODI series, attempting to reverse sweep Shahid Afridi first ball, resulted in his dismissal from the ODI team, with Katich

 again promoted. <mask> was unable to reclaim a spot as Australia headed towards the 2005 Ashes series looking for batsmen to combat an England team fielding four pace bowlers, including three at the high speed of , and he was never again on the Cricket Australia's contracted players list. In November 2007, he announced his retirement, stating that "Physically and mentally I've had enough". He published his autobiography, Worth the Wait, in 2004.Coaching career

In 2008, <mask> toured with the Cricket Australia Centre of Excellence as an assistant coach. After the Deccan Chargers disastrous first season, he took charge of them as coach - replacing former India player Robin Singh; Adam Gilchrist was named captain replacing VVS Laxman. Following the below-par performance in the inaugural season, and finishing at the bottom, Deccan then staged an inspired comeback in 2009 by winning the second IPL season. Subsequent to an undefeated run in the initial league stage, the team suffered minor setbacks by losing some close matches. However, the return of Andrew Symonds, Rohit Sharma regaining form, and the continuing exuberance of Captain Adam Gilchrist, bolstered the side. Some luck came the Charger's way towards the end of the league stage, with Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals losing key matches, enabling Deccan to reach the semi-finals. During the semi-finals against the Delhi Daredevils (who were at the top of the table), few gave the Chargers more than an outside chance of winning.Nevertheless, and against the odds, Gilchrist scored a sensational 85 off just 35 balls to put the Daredevils out of the competition, thus giving the Chargers their first IPL final against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. In the final match, Gilchrist was out for a duck in the first over, however the Chargers managed to recover and posted a total of 143 for the loss of 6 wickets; it was felt that a good defending total would have been a further 20 to 30 runs. In the second innings the Chargers came out with all guns blazing right from the first ball, and their spirited

On account of emerging as the winners of the 2009 season of the Indian Premier League, the team participated in the inaugural edition of the T20 Champions League, along with two other Indian teams. These were the runners-up of the IPL in 2009 - the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Delhi Daredevils, the toppers of the league-stage points table. The Deccan Chargers were knocked-out in the group stages after losing to the Somerset Sabres and Trinidad & Tobago, who they were drawn against in Group A. After winning the IPL in 2009, there were great expectations of Chargers for 2010.Disappointingly, the team opened with a loss in their inaugural match against KKR, but subsequently won next three matches. Unfortunately, the Chargers then went on to lose their next five matches. This situation caused many to doubt whether the Chargers would be able to make it into next round, but they did so by winning the next five consecutive matches, which qualified them for the play-offs. However the Chargers lost both games in the play-offs (Semi-finals), and were relegated to third place. Before the start of the 2011 Auction of players, the Chargers decided not to retain any of their existing team, putting all of them up for auction. The much anticipated Auction in January not only lived up to expectations, but exceeded them in many ways. The new Deccan team started the 2011 campaign by losing their first two games, but managed to win their next match.Thereafter the team started losing badly, and despite winning some games, were consequentially eliminated from the competition. The team managed to bounce back and showed some pride by winning their final three matches, although these results had no effect on the other teams' chances for qualifying. The Charger's disappointing performance was clearly due to the inexperience of the new squad, and especially to the lack of internationally experienced Indian batsmen.
