  Brian Little (footballer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
When Little arrived at Wolverhampton Wanderers, the club was in the middle of three consecutive relegations and by 1986 was in the Fourth Division for the first time, with huge debts.
Brian Little was an important part of the club's coaching staff as Middlesbrough pulled themselves together and with two successive promotions they were in the First Division for the 1988-89 season.
Little was sacked in March 2000 after just eight months in charge and replaced by Gary Megson, who saved Albion from relegation at the expense of their near neighbours Walsall.

 Brian Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brian Hall (born Glasgow, 22nd November 1946) was a compact and hard-working midfield player in the hugely successful Liverpool team of the 1970s.
A bright lad, Hall chose to go into higher education to study mathematics rather than follow a professional career exploiting his obvious football skills but, upon graduation from Liverpool University, he signed as a pro for Liverpool in 1969, having enjoyed playing for them as an amateur while studying.
Hall and fellow graduate Steve Heighway both made their first team debuts in 1970 with some novelty value, given that no known university graduate had ever played such high-profile professional football before.

 Brian Little
Brian Little made his debut during the third division championship, scoring in his first match against Torquay.
The next two seasons saw Little gradually improving, before the arrival of Run Saunders in the summer of 1974 was the catalyst which sparked both Villa and their number eight into action of the highest quality.
For Little it was recognition that he was one of the brightest young stars in football.

 Brian Clough biography .ms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Brian Clough, OBE ( March 21, 1935 – September 20 2004) was a talented footballer and subsequently a football manager, most notable for his success with Derby County and Nottingham Forest.
Clough's outspoken comments against football's establishment (which led to Derby being threatened with expulsion from the League) led to him falling out with the board of directors at Derby, and Clough and Taylor left the club.
During these years Clough was the English public's pick for manager of England, but he was never given the job by the Football Association, presumably because FA officials were nervous about his outspoken nature and habit of causing controversy.

 FRANZ BECKENBAUER - International Football Hall of Fame
Little could Beckenbauer have realised that the competition was to herald the start of a series of epic battles between England and West Germany.
Brian Glanville describes what happened in his book, The Story of the World Cup: "Beckenbauer advanced, picked up a rebound, and sent a low, right-footed unexceptional shot towards the left-hand corner.
He was voted European Footballer of the Year for the second time after that hat-trick of European Cups in 1976, even though West Germany lost that year's European Championship Final to Czechoslovakia in a penalty shoot-out.

 It Could Only Happen at the Villa
Little knew changes were needed, but was also aware that the players who got us into this mess represented our best chance of getting out, of it.
From then on Little says he tried to act normally, not wishing to alert anyone to his decision because he wanted everyone to stay alert, although he had noted that the players (at least) were far from in a good state.
The only factor that Little has consistently stated persuaded him that 24th February was the day to leave is the players and their reaction to him.

Although obviously I'm missing first division football, it's been interesting to watch the series of transformations created by a series of managers after the lengthy stability of John King and then the comparative longevity of John Aldridge...
Brian Little seems to be playing Championship Manager - signing interesting-looking free transfers - which is better, I guess, than spunking £7m on Stan Collymore, and after a decent recovery last season (albeit punctuated by a slump that cost us the play-offs), I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
This does rather suggest that Brian Little (favours a 5-3-2, good with youngsters) is indeed playing Championship Manager a bit too much - signing all the elderly players on frees that you have heard of is a classic CM technique...
