 1998.His high school football ability was great, but his lack of maturity at times was a struggle. <mask> did not pay attention to his grades or college entrance tests, and by his senior year he had become disruptive to his football team. Early in his senior year, Coventry staff had to suspend him for two games for challenging an assistant coach to a fight. After he returned from his suspension, in his next game, he began the game by carrying 3 times for nearly 100 yards and 2 touchdowns. After his second TD, he ran down the opposing team's sideline, and was ejected and later suspended for one game for making obscene gestures to the fans. <mask> was in court soon thereafter, after he shot a BB gun in the school locker room towards a defensive coach. He pled guilty to a minor charge and was able to return to school to finish his senior year.Due to his off-the-field issues, powerhouse football programs like Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Nebraska rescinded their scholarship offers. College career
<mask> attended Kent State University and walked on the Kent State Golden Flashes football team. After sitting out his freshman season in 1998 due to NCAA academic guidelines, <mask> became a starter for the last three games of the 1999 season and led the team with 106 total tackles and 13 tackles for a loss. He also had an interception and three fumble recoveries. During his last collegiate game against Miami University, <mask> finished with 12 tackles, 5 sacks, and a forced fumble. At the end of the fourth quarter, he sacked future teammate, Ben Roethlisberger on third and fourth down to seal a 24–20 victory. In 2001, he recorded 98 total tackles, 20 tackles for loss, and led the MAC conference with 15 sacks, while also being voted to first-team Mid-American Conference.After graduating, he returned in 2010 to be inducted into Kent State's Varsity "K" Hall of Fame along with San Diego Chargers tight end, Antonio Gates. <mask> also made a donation of $100k to his alma mater, who in turn named the field house in his honor.

 State retired <mask>'s jersey number 16. Professional career

Pittsburgh Steelers
<mask> went undrafted in the 2002 NFL Draft,  as teams feared he was too short (six feet) to play linebacker, and too light (240 pounds) to play on the defensive line. A few teams did send him training camp invites. The Steelers signed <mask> as an undrafted rookie in 2002, making him the first Kent State alumnus to play at linebacker for the team since Hall of Famer Jack Lambert. <mask> spent two years on and off the practice squad for the Steelers, being released three times, and also was briefly on the active roster towards the end of the 2002 season, playing only special teams.Teammate and fellow linebacker, <mask>, later told NFL Network that <mask> was so green early on in his career that he would simply "give up" on plays on which he was struggling and even would ask the coaches not to play him when he was struggling. Farrior said, "He was a knucklehead that didn't know the plays. We'd be in practice, in training camp, and he might not know what he was doing so he'd just stop and throw his hands up and tell (the coaches) to get him out of there. We thought the guy was crazy." <mask> wore number 93 during this period before adopting his more well known number 92, which at the time was worn by fellow linebacker and Pro Bowler Jason Gildon. Baltimore Ravens and Rhein Fire
He was signed by Baltimore in late 2003, then sent to the Rhein Fire of NFL Europe, but eventually was cut by the Ravens. Second stint with Steelers

2004
After being cut for a fourth time, <mask> considered not playing anymore.Shortly thereafter, he was signed a fourth time by the Steelers during training camp in 2004 after Clark Haggans sustained an injury in an offseason weightlifting accident. Showing much improvement, <mask> made the final roster and remained with the Steelers through the 2012 season. <mask> later told the Beaver County Times that if not for Haggans's injury, he planned to retire from football at age 26 to focus on becoming a veterinarian, something

 that <mask> still plans on doing now that his football career has ended. <mask> also considered following in his father's footsteps to become a truck driver, and to this day does have a commercial driver's license. Throughout the 2004 season, <mask> mostly played on special teams and on defense at linebacker, with occasional reps at defensive end. His first career start came against his hometown Cleveland Browns in Cleveland on November 14 after teammate Joey Porter and Browns running back William Green were ejected for fighting during the pregame warm-ups. <mask> had a good game statistically in the Steelers' 24–10 victory against their hated rival.<mask> scored his first career touchdown on a fumble recovery in the final week of the season against the Buffalo Bills. 2005–2006
<mask> started in three games of the 2005 season when starting linebacker Clark Haggans was injured. His biggest highlight of the year was in a game against the San Diego Chargers, where he intercepted a Drew Brees pass for a 25-yard return. During the return, he made a huge leap over LaDainian Tomlinson, the Chargers star running back. <mask> gained some attention and popularity when he restrained a Cleveland Browns fan during a 41–0 Pittsburgh win on Christmas Eve. The intoxicated fan was on the field when <mask> lifted the man and slammed him on the ground. <mask> restrained the fan until authorities took him away.The Steelers went on to win Super Bowl XL that season. Although <mask> was not a major factor in the game, he did play and earn a Super Bowl ring with the team, recording a team-high three special teams tackles. 2007
In the 2007 offseason, with longtime head coach Bill Cowher resigning after 15 seasons and Mike Tomlin taking over the reins, the Steelers controversially cut Joey Porter for salary cap reasons. Although the Steelers drafted two linebackers with their first two picks that year (Lawrence Timmons and LaMarr Woodley), <mask> was appointed the starter in place of Porter. The decision would ultimately pay off, as <mask> would go on

 to have a breakout season, making All-Pro Second Team and earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl as a starter on the AFC squad. On November 5, <mask> had a standout game on Monday Night Football against the Baltimore Ravens. He piled up 9 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, and 1 interception.The most memorable moment of the game, however, was <mask>'s tackle of Baltimore safety Ed Reed. After a Steelers punt by Daniel Sepulveda, Reed had recovered the kick and was looking to return it. As Reed ran up the sidelines, he was blindsided by <mask> and the ball was knocked away from Reed's grasp. Pittsburgh linebacker Lawrence Timmons immediately recovered the fumble. The Steelers would go on to blow out the Ravens, 38–7. On November 26, during a Monday Night Football game, an announcer gave <mask> the nickname, "Mr. Monday Night", because of his outstanding performance on November 5. He piled up 8.5 sacks, 7 forced fumbles, 3 recovered fumbles, and 98 tackles on the year.He was voted team MVP for the 2007 season. 2008
In the Steelers' Week 4 Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens, <mask> recorded 10 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, 2 tackles for a loss, and a forced fumble. Along with LaMarr Woodley, who by this point was a starter in his own right, after the team chose not to re-sign Clark Haggans the previous offseason, <mask> and Woodley had become arguably the team's best pass-rushing duo since Greg Lloyd and Kevin Greene in 1994. <mask> amassed 16 sacks, breaking the team record set by Mike Merriweather in 1984. The two teammates set a team record with 27.5 sacks. <mask> also played special teams on a regular basis, making him one of the few regular NFL starters to also play special teams.

During Super Bowl XLIII, <mask> intercepted a pass from Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner at the goal line and ran back the length of the field for a 100-yard touchdown at the end of the first half. In a memorable scene, <mask> collapsed in the endzone and spent several minutes regaining his breath as his teammates celebrated. It was the longest play in Super Bowl history (surpassing Desmond Howard's 99-yard kickoff return in Super Bowl XXXI, being broken by Jacoby Jones in 2013 with a 108-yard kickoff return) and helped the Steelers defeat the Arizona Cardinals 27–23.It was also the longest interception return in Steelers franchise history, surpassing the 99-yard return by Martin "Butch" Kottler which occurred in the club's second ever game and was the oldest team record on the books. Before the game, Gregg Easterbrook (author of Tuesday Morning Quarterback from Page 2 on ESPN.com) named <mask> the 2008 Tuesday Morning Quarterback Non-QB Non-RB NFL MVP. When receiving the trophy for the award, <mask> said he never even heard of the award.

He has two children, <mask> III, born in 2007, and Henry, born in 2009.<mask> elected not to visit the White House with the rest of the team after the Steelers won Super Bowl XLIII. Skipping the visit gained some media attention, as <mask> said that Barack Obama (who supported the Steelers in the game and considers his second favorite NFL team after his hometown team, Chicago Bears) would have invited the Arizona Cardinals had they won: "This is how I feel — if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won." <mask> had also skipped the team's visit after winning Super Bowl XL when George W. Bush was president. Arrest
<mask> was arrested in March 2008 and was charged with simple assault and criminal mischief stemming from a domestic altercation with his girlfriend, Beth Tibbott. On April 3, 2008, the district attorney dropped all charges because <mask> had completed anger management counseling and psychological counseling. The arrest gained some controversy after the team released wide receiver Cedrick Wilson in a similar, but unrelated, incident around the same time but did not release <mask>.The Steelers even issued a press release shortly after they released Wilson stating that <mask>'s incident and Wilson's incident were examined "on a case-by-case basis" and Wilson's incident determined that his warranted release while <mask> had "taken responsibility for his actions." Steelers owner Dan Rooney, a lifelong devout Catholic, added that the incident was concerning their son's baptism, that <mask>'s girlfriend reportedly did not want their son baptized, and that <mask> promptly called the Rooney family about the incident.

 faculty member of Ohr Somayach Yeshiva in Jerusalem, where he lectures to the mostly English-speaking student body.He also lectures extensively in Israel and abroad, and writes a regular weekly column for The Jerusalem Post since 1999. Teaching
During his years in America, Wein produced many audio tapes (recordings) on both Torah teachings and Jewish history. These helped to popularize the latter subject, which had often been neglected in traditional Orthodox Jewish education. After detailed research, he went on to publish a four-volume series of coffee table books spanning 2,300 years of Jewish history, for which he is widely known in English-speaking Orthodox communities:

Echoes of Glory: The story of the Jews in the Classical Era, 350 BCE-750 CE
Herald of Destiny: The story of the Jews in the Medieval Era, 750-1650
Triumph of Survival: The story of the Jews in the Modern Era, 1650-1995
Faith and Fate: The story of the Jewish people in the twentieth century

Wein is known for his witty speaking and writing style: his sayings and observations have been collected together, by James Weiss, into a 283-page book entitled Vintage Wein: The collected wit and wisdom, the choicest anecdotes and vignettes of Rabbi <mask> <mask> (Shaar Press, 1992). Since his move to Israel, he has also penned three collections of essays, titled Second Thoughts: A collection of musings and observations (1997), Buy Green Bananas: Observations on self, family and life (1999), and Living Jewish: Values, Practices and Traditions. He has also authored commentaries on Ethics of Our Fathers, Pirkei Avos : Teachings for Our Times, and on the Passover

The "Steubenville Trio" (as <mask>, Vincent, and Gilliam were called) arrived with Iowa football in bad shape. Iowa had had only one winning season in the previous ten years. <mask> was a dominant figure on the field from 1953 to 1955. In 1953, Iowa finished the year ranked 9th in the final AP Poll, Iowa's best finish since the Ironmen in 1939. <mask> was named as a first team All-American. In 1954, Iowa again had a winning season. <mask> was named as a consensus first team All-American, despite playing the entire year with a broken wrist.<mask> broke it in practice before Iowa's first game but kept the injury concealed from the fans and media all year. That season, <mask> also became the first college football player and first African American to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine in its September 27, 1954 issue, which shows a tightly cropped slightly blurry image of <mask> face wearing a football helmet. This was the 7th issue of Sports Illustrated. In 1955, <mask> was named as Iowa's team captain. Though Iowa struggled to a 3–5–1 record, <mask> was named as a consensus first team All-American for the second consecutive year. <mask> also won the 1955 Outland Trophy, which goes to the United States' top lineman. He was the first African-American player to win the prestigious award.<mask> also finished tenth in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy, an impressive finish for a lineman.

<mask> (December 29, 1830 – April 2, 1882) was an American member of the <mask> family who, after having a troubled relationship with his father, <mask>, eventually committed suicide at the age of 51. Early life
<mask> "Corneel" <mask> was born on Staten Island on December 29, 1830. He was the second son of thirteen children born to <mask> and <mask>, who were first cousins. He had 11 surviving siblings; Phebe, Ethelinda, Eliza, William ("Billy"), Emily, Sophia, Maria, Frances, Mary, Catherine, and George. He had another brother named George, born in 1832, who died as a toddler. According to official records, Corneel was matriculated at Columbia College with the class of 1850, but did not graduate with the class. When he was 18 years old, Corneel began suffering from epilepsy, which his father saw as weakness and even mental derangement, believing his son needed to be in a mental asylum.His father thought the epileptic fits were a punishment on himself for his having married his own cousin. In 1849, in order to ‘toughen him up,’ his father sent the then 19 year old Corneel off to be a sailor aboard a three-masted schooner which was making its way to California and its gold fields. However, Corneel was stricken ill when he arrived in San Francisco and drew a draft on his father in order to pay for his return to New York. Upon his return, his father had him arrested for drawing the draft and committed him to the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. Corneel's records from the asylum state: "Form of mental disorder: dementia (supported by father)"

He was finally discharged from the asylum on February 20, 1850.

 Corneel being committed to Bloomingdale Insane Asylum by his father happened just five years after his mother, Sophia, had also briefly been committed by his father to the same asylum. In 1844, his father sent Sophia on a trip to Canada with one of their daughters, in order to have more private time with their governess (who promptly quit).When Sophia returned, she found that her husband had purchased a large townhouse at 10 Washington Place in New York City and intended it to be their new residence. She was so upset that she stood up to the domineering <mask> and steadfastly refused to leave their Staten Island home and friends. His father decided that she was mentally unstable due to this behavior. He told their children that their mother was "in poor health" and that she "was at the change of life." Against protests from all of their children (except William), their father had their mother committed to Bloomingdale Insane Asylum. However, the physicians there insisted she return home. When she did, she reluctantly acquiesced to her husband's demands and moved to New York City.Career

On March 4, 1849, young <mask> departed on a ship headed for San Francisco around Cape Horn to work as a crewman. Upon arrival in San Francisco, he abandoned the ship and spent all his money. When he ran out, he tried to charge his expenses to his father, who became livid and interpreted Corneel's actions as a sign of insanity. When Corneel returned to New York in November 1849, his father had him arrested and committed to the Bloomingdale Insane Asylum in New York until February 1850. After his release, he tried out

 several occupations, including law clerk, leather merchant, farmer, and revenue agent; all of which he was unsuccessful at. He developed a gambling problem and reportedly used the <mask> name and his considerable charm to borrow money, usually without paying them back. In particular, he obtained significant loans from Horace Greeley, the editor of the New York Tribune who was a long-time friend.Corneel was also close friends with Schuyler Colfax, who later became the 17th Vice President of the United States under Ulysses S. Grant. In January 1854, the elder <mask> again had Corneel arrested and committed to the asylum on the grounds of "confusion" and "loose habits." The doctor at the asylum reportedly told Corneel, "I am satisfied that you are no more crazy than I am," and let him go home. His elder brother William told him that they were trying to get him committed to the Asylum in order to avoid Corneel being charged criminally for his acts of forgery, to which Corneel reportedly replied that he would rather be considered a damn rascal than a lunatic. Personal life
In 1856, he married Ellen Williams (1820–1872) of Hartford, Connecticut, the daughter of a minister. The marriage was reportedly the only thing in Corneel's life that pleased his father; however, they did not have any children. With funds from his allowance, Corneel set up a fruit farm in East Hartford, Connecticut, but was unable to make the farm solvent, and had to file for bankruptcy in 1868.After his mother's death in 1868, and the death of his wife in 1872, <mask> "took up with George Terry, an unmarried hotel keeper whom Corneel

 considered 'my dearest friend.' Vanderbilt biographer T. J. Stiles has questioned whether the two may have been lovers, which the elder <mask> may have suspected. Their letters between each other were intense, including a letter where <mask> writes: "Oh! George I cannot give you up. You must not desert me now, but must be brave & patient, and give me encouragement and hope for the future." Terry met with the Commodore in December 1873 about a business proposition in Toledo, Ohio, to which he replied: "Mr. Terry, if you go to Toledo, what will become of Corneel?" Father's estate

Upon his father's death in 1877, his elder brother William inherited the vast majority of the Vanderbilt estate and holdings (around $100,000,000), becoming the wealthiest man in the United States.According to his father's will, Corneel was only to inherit the income from $200,000 in U.S. Bonds held in trust (receiving 5% interest), which was distributed by trustees who were cautioned to oversee his behavior. Additionally, should Corneel try to advance funds from the Trust, he would lose it altogether. After a lengthy court battle, William eventually paid Corneel an extra $600,000 ($200,000 in cash and $400,000 in additional trust) allowing him to pay off his debts, including to the estate of the late Horace Greeley, which aggregated to approximately $61,000 including interest. According to his obituary, "almost immediately after the settlement <mask>. went to Europe, accompanied by his particular friend, Mr. Terry, and remained abroad over six months." The Commodore had purchased a 110-acre West Hartford estate in 1857 as a

 place for his Corneel to live. The land was not developed, and after the death of Corneel's wife in 1872, the Commodore sold the property. In 1879, two years after the elder <mask>' death, Corneel repurchased the estate.After Corneel owned the estate, he built a 30-room home mansion, designed by John C. Mead, on the land. 1882 suicide
On April 2, 1882, reportedly after a night spent at a gambling house, the 51-year-old C.J<mask> committed suicide by firing his Smith & Wesson revolver into his left temple while staying in his fifth floor room number 80 at the Glenham Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York City. He was discovered by George Terry, who was referred to in <mask>'s obituary as "his friend and constant companion." Terry was staying in an adjourning room, number 79, and reportedly rushed through the connecting door to Corneel's room upon hearing the gun shot that killed <mask>. <mask> left his recently finished mansion in Hartford, which he was supposed to move into a few weeks later, to his dearest friend Terry. Terry sold the estate, which was subdivided into 32 building lots.The mansion was torn down in 1918, and today is the West Hill Historic District. References

 Dramatic Art, but couldn't afford the fees, so instead trained as an actor at Rose Bruford College, Kent.Early career

After making his professional début at the Lyric, Belfast, he went on to learn his craft in repertory theatre, at the Victoria Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent, England. Over a ten-year period he acted in over eighty plays at Stoke, and between 1977–79 also directed Man Is Man, The Miser, Absurd Person Singular, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and A Cuckoo in the Nest. His love of theatre in the round began at Stoke, 'fluidity of action, jump-cuts from location to location, short scenes, diversity of characters, music as narrative were the bread and butter of the Vic and I've fed on them ever since'. He believed the best advice to learn how to be a playwright was to 'go and be an actor'. At Stoke he wrote his first full-length play, Never Say Rabbit in a Boat, which won the George Devine award in 1979. He then gave up acting to write full-time. Playwriting

Over the next twenty-seven years, he wrote twenty-seven plays which have been performed throughout the world, and London's leading writer-led theatres The Royal Court Theatre, The Donmar Warehouse, The Almeida Theatre, The Bush Theatre, The Lyric, two for The Royal National Theatre, and eight for The Royal Shakespeare Company.Three of his plays, The Catch, Kissing The Pope, and The Dead Monkey, were originally directed by Roger Michell. Prominent actors performed his work, including Tim Roth, Ralph Fiennes, Pete Postlethwaite, Frances Barber, Lesley Sharp, Geoffrey Hutchings, Phillip Jackson, and Antony O'Donnel.

During his career, <mask> also wrote twelve radio plays and presented five radio documentaries for Radio Four. When he returned to Cornwall during the latter part of his career, Kneehigh Theatre performed his work.Kneehigh's London debut, The King Of Prussia, was written by <mask>, commissioned by The Donmar Warehouse in 1996. Kneehigh's second London outing was also written by <mask>, The Riot was commissioned by, and performed at, The National Theatre, Cottesloe, in 1999. Screenwriting

<mask> wrote a Play for Today entitled Farmer's Arms (1983), a comedy western set in the parish of St. Merryn, near where he grew up, starring Phillip Jackson, Colin Welland, and Brenda Bruce. In 1999 <mask> wrote a TV Movie called The Bench, starring Geoffrey Hutchings and Leslie Grantham. <mask> also worked with Geoff twice in the theatre, with one-man, one-act monologue Bud at the Almeida in 1985, and later Geoff had the central role in The Riot at The National Theatre, 1999. A film version of his first play Never Say Rabbit in a Boat was in pre-production with APT Films, when <mask> died in 2005.

The Wrecking Season

 (2004) was his final work, and his first documentary. He wrote, presented, and narrated the film, which his widow <mask> filmed and directed. The Wrecking Season charts the lives of Cornish 'wreckers', traditionally Cornish farm-hands who collected bulk wood that washed in after a storm, to sell for additional money and supplement their income when farming was slack, or to use to build with. More broadly the film explores the journey of long haul drift and general sea debris, notably sea beans from the Amazon basin, and tuna and lobster fisherman's tags from the Maine and Massachusetts fisheries, and how 'wreck' follows a consistent route around the Gulf Stream, arriving specifically on the west coast of Ireland and the North Cornwall coast. <mask> talks to oceanographers, wood specialists, and fisherman on both sides of the Atlantic. <mask> himself was a 'wrecker' after moving permanently back home to Porthcothan in 1990. He self-built part of his home with wreck wood salvaged after storms from beaches across Cornwall, and traded fishing gear that he found, with Padstow lobster fishermen, for bait and lobster pots that he then used to fish with.During their wrecking, <mask> and <mask> personally amassed one of the largest collections of Tropical sea-beans in Europe. The documentary was innovative at the time for its investigation into the variety of plastics on Cornish beaches, including microplastics such as 'nurdles'. The Wrecking Season was broadcast on BBC4 shortly after <mask>'s death. Environmental activism

As well as Chekhov and Ibsen, a big influence on <mask>'s work was Bertolt Brecht, and specifically Mann ist Mann. <mask> was personally and creatively fascinated by the individual's ability to entirely remake themselves anew, exploring the subject in three of his plays: The Body, The Bogus, and Kissing The Pope.Later on, Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang, and Dessert Solitaire, were big influences on <mask>'s attitude to the natural world, and our collective responsibility towards it. He was also friends with, and hugely influenced by, Cornwall's leading historian John Angarrack, whom <mask> made a short documentary film about, named after Angarrack's first book Breaking The Chains (2000). The biggest influences on <mask>'s life and work were the farmer's he grew up with as a boy, the fishermen he made friends with as a man, and the distinctly Cornish men and women in the parish of St. Eval, who once defined the area, but who he watched gradually and completely disappear from the community. Style and legacy

Subjects ranged from eco-sabotage, Greek mythology, child soldiers, U.S. geopolitics, Saint Paul, the right-wing lobbying arm of the evangelical Christian movement, domestic abuse, British colonialism, and slavery in


texts: Africa, but the bulk of <mask>'s work, reflected Cornish society and culture, such as tin mining, farming, and fishing. He had a preoccupation with depicting authentic Cornish characters, based on the people he lived and grew up with. <mask>'s literary voice is highly distinctive and many of his characters, plots and settings are rooted in real Cornish life, past and present. As one of his earliest reviews, in The Financial Times stated: "Darke gives shape to a Cornish identity that feels vital and real and has nothing to do with clay pipes and clotted cream".Having trained 'in the round' as an actor, <mask> was a strong advocate for simplicity over artifice, his plays 'demand little more than a magic box and a half a dozen versatile actors to transport you from the high seas to revolutionary France in the bat of an eye. Load the plays with ornament and they tend to collapse. Pace and fluidity are the watchwords, even entrances and exits can be dispensed with if the performers are onstage throughout'. In 2009 director Simon Harvey, and the Cornwall Youth Theatre Company, began Darke Visions, an eighteen-month festival running from Spring 2009 to Summer 2010 celebrating the life and work of Cornwall's foremost playwright, with the performance of Hells' Mouth (directed by Harry and Theresa Forbes-Pearce); The Body (directed by Tom Faulkner); and Ting Tang Mine (directed by Rory Wilton and Emma Spurgin Hussey). These plays went on tour in Cornwall during March/April 2009. In 2011 the theatre group o-region toured small-scale venues with a new show One Darke Night which also celebrated

 <mask>'s rich legacy. Combining specially commissioned film (featuring <mask>'s son, Henry) and a small cast of players, the play fused extracts from lesser-known works with firm audience favourites such as The King of Prussia and extracts from <mask>'s other writings.Compiled by Simon Harvey who had worked with <mask> on the production of his final play Laughing Gas in 2006, the production provided fresh insight into the remarkable range and diversity of <mask>'s catalogue of work. Among others, <mask> mentored playwright Carl Grose, and film director Mark Jenkin, both of whom won Falmouth University's <mask>e Award, and both of whom cite <mask> as a source of inspiration for their own work. The <mask>e Award
The <mask>e Award was developed by <mask>’s widow, with the support of <mask>’s family and Falmouth University. Funded by the university, the annual award began as a financial prize aimed at giving writers time to write an entirely new work, in stage, screen or radio. The award then developed from a Cornwall-focused prize, based on short treatment submissions, into one purely for fully-written, and polished new plays, similar in structure to other prominent national playwriting prizes. Submissions for the award immediately jumped from one hundred, to one-thousand five hundred, and in broadening its scope, became another welcome new home for newly written, unperformed plays, and exciting new voices in the theatre world.

<mask> (born 4 December 1968) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He played professionally in all of Spain's top three divisions, which included 47 appearances in La Liga with Albacete Balompié and Racing Santander. Career

Real Mallorca

<mask> was born in Felanitx, in the southeast of Majorca in the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. He began his career with local side Real Mallorca, making his debut on 19 February 1989 in a Segunda División match away at Figueres. First choice goalkeeper Molondro was injured after half an hour, and <mask> was brought on to finish the game. Unfortunately, he conceded twice as Figueres won the game 2–1. With Molondro still out of action, <mask> made his first start in the Copa del Rey round of 16 second leg match at home to Recreativo de Huelva three days later.With everything to play for following the 0–0 first leg, <mask> kept a clean sheet for the full 120 minutes at Lluís Sitjar Stadium, including 30 minutes extra time, to send the tie to penalties. After the penalty spot had to be redrawn, <mask> became the hero of the shootout, saving a penalty from Recreativo's Melenas to send Mallorca into the quarterfinals. His final appearance as Molondro's deputy came in the next league match, at home to Salamanca, which Mallorca won 2–1. That season was a successful one for Mallorca, as they were promoted to La Liga via a playoff with Español. However, despite his strong performances, <mask>'s three appearances that year proved to be his only first team action with Mallorca, and for 1989–90 he was sent to the farm team Mallorca Atlético in Segunda División B. He was instantly first choice, making his debut on 3 September in the opening match of the season at home to Manlleu, which the

 visitors won 2–1. He started 26 consecutive league matches, but following a 1–0 home win over Gimnàstic de Tarragona on 4 March he was dropped in favour of Molondro, and didn't play for the club again.He left Mallorca altogether at the end of the season. Orihuela Deportiva

While Mallorca Atlético finished the 1989–90 season in 14th, only four points clear of relegation, their rivals Orihuela Deportiva topped the group and were promoted to the Segunda División. The Valencian club would be <mask>'s next destination, as he joined in the summer of 1990. He wasn't immediately first choice for his new club, with Juan Espín preferred at the start of the season, but made his debut on 7 October in an away match against Elche at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. He kept a clean sheet as Orihuela won 1–0, and kept his place for the next match, at home to Rayo Vallecano a week later. This match, at Estadio Municipal Los Arcos, was somewhat less successful, with the visitors triumphing 4–2. He ultimately made 17 appearances that season, with a 3–2 home win over Xerez on 26 May being the last.Orihuela's first season in the Segunda División for over 35 years was very successful, as they placed 5th and only missed out on the promotion playoff by three points. However, they were found to have failed to pay their players, and were punished with administrative relegation to Segunda División B. <mask> left at the end of the season. Albacete Balompié

Following Orihuela's relegation, <mask> joined their erstwhile Segunda División rivals Albacete Balompié. Albacete had had a very successful season in 1990–91, topping the table and being promoted to La Liga for the first time in their history. However, <mask> would face a long wait to make his top flight debut. Experienced

texts: Costa Rican Luis Conejo was first choice in 1991–92, with Juan Carlos Balaguer also ahead of <mask> in the pecking order. The following season, Balaguer became the number one, with Jesús Unanua brought in on loan from Osasuna to act as his understudy.The result was that <mask> didn't make a single appearance during his first two years at Albacete. For the 1993–94 season, <mask> was sent out on loan to Cartagena FC in Segunda División B. He made his first competitive appearance in over two years as he started both legs of Cartagena's Copa del Rey  first round tie against Mar Menor. They won the first leg, away from home, 1–0, but suffered a humiliating 2–0 defeat in the return fixture at Estadio Cartagonova, and were eliminated by their Tercera División opponents. <mask> also started the first two league matches of the year, away at Gramenet and at home to Alcoyano, which resulted in a 1–0 loss and a 1–1 draw respectively. Cartagena's last match of the season, a 2–1 away win over Manacor on 1 May, was <mask>'s 32nd appearance in a successful season, and he returned to Albacete that summer. His long-awaited Albacete and La Liga debut arrived on 18 September 1994, after more than three years at the club, as he started in the home fixture against Real Madrid at Estadio Carlos Belmonte.Albacete secured a remarkable 1–1 draw against the giants, who would ultimately secure their 26th La Liga crown that season. He played 10 more times that year, establishing himself as a reliable back-up to future Spanish international José Francisco Molina, who had joined from Valencia that summer. The only low point was conceding 5 against Español at Sarrià Stadium on 30 October. Albacete finished the season in 17th, behind Compostela only thanks to their head-to-head record,

 which meant they had to play in the Relegation play-offs. They lost on aggregate to Salamanca, but earned a reprieve after an administration scandal involving Sevilla and Celta Vigo. In the off-season, Molina departed for Atlético Madrid, allowing <mask> to start 1995–96 as first choice. He played 25 league matches that season, but it was another difficult season for Albacete.They placed 20th, and were obliged to play another playoff. <mask> played in both matches, as they lost 1–0 to Extremadura at Estadio Francisco de la Hera on 30 May, and then by the same scoreline in the return leg three days later. This time, there was to be no reprieve: Albacete were relegated, and <mask> left the club that summer. Racing Santander

Wanting to stay in the top flight, <mask> joined Racing Santander ahead of the 1996–97 season. He acted as back-up to Santander legend José María Ceballos, although he did feature more prominently in the run to the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. He made his debut in that competition on 6 November, in the away first leg of Santander's second round tie against SD Eibar. The match at Ipurua Municipal Stadium ended 1–1, with Óscar Arpón scoring the away goal that would ultimately send Santander through to the third round.Having also played in the away leg in that round, another 1–1 draw with Real Zaragoza at La Romareda, he finally made his home debut in the return fixture on 15 January. He kept a clean sheet at El Sardinero as Santander won 1–0 and progressed to the round of 16. His had to wait until 6 April for his league debut, which came in a 2–2 draw with Real Betis at Estadio Benito Villamarín. He also featured in the next match at home to Rayo Vallecano: Ceballos was sent off with nine minutes remaining, and <mask> was brought on in

 place of <mask> to see out the game. At that time, Santander were leading 1–0 thanks to Alberto's 12th-minute goal. However, <mask>'s first responsibility was to face the penalty conceded by Ceballos, which Diego Klimowicz duly converted. Five minutes later, he also failed to keep out Guilherme, who gave Rayo a 2–1 win.With Ceballos suspended, <mask> also played in the next match, a 5–1 win over Real Oviedo at Estadio Carlos Tartiere, for a total of seven that season. He was used similarly sparingly the following season, making three appearances each in the league and the Copa del Rey. 1998–99 was his busiest season with Santander, with 11 appearances in all competitions. Ceballos was injured in the second half of a 3–0 win over Extremadura at Estadio Francisco de la Hera on 7 March, and <mask> came off the bench to replace him. He played in the next five matches while Ceballos recovered, but the first choice keeper returned after the 2–0 home loss to Espanyol on 18 April. This would turn out to be <mask>'s last match in the top division, as he left Santander at the end of the season. Motril

In search of regular first team football, <mask> joined Motril in Segunda División B in the summer of 1999.He began the season as second choice to Carlos Gómez, and had to wait until 14 January to make his debut. This came in a 1–1 home draw with Dos Hermanas at Estadio Escribano Castilla, and from then on he played 18 consecutive matches until the end of the season. Despite this run in the team, he left the club following their 2–1 home loss to Polideportivo Almería on the last day of the season. Polideportivo Ejido

In 2000, 31 year old <mask> joined Polideportivo Ejido, and proceeded to have one of the best seasons of his career. His Ejido debut came against the

 same team as that for Motril, Dos Hermanas, in the preliminary round of the Copa del Rey. Ejido drew this away match 2–2, and ultimately won the tie 4–3 on aggregate. In between the two legs, <mask> made his league debut in a 3–2 home win over Linense on 3 September, and went on to appear in every league match except one that season.Ejido finished the year as group runners-up, and qualified for the promotion play-offs. <mask> appeared in all six play-off games against Atlético Madrid B, Calahorra and Espanyol B, including keeping three crucial clean sheets, as Ejido earned promotion to the Segunda División for the first time in their history. In 2001–02, he started the season as first choice, but was gradually supplanted by Sergio Segura over the course of the year. A 2–1 loss on 5 January at El Sardinero against his former side, Racing Santander, proved to be his last match as a professional. He didn't feature at all for Ejido over the next two seasons, and finally retired in 2004 at the age of 35. Honours
