Topic: George Graham (footballer)


In the News (Mon 6 Oct 08)

  
  Observer | Have a double on George
It was Charlie George, the very epitomy of the long-haired, socially confident footballer of the seventies, who shot the goal that won the final in the second quarter of an hour of extra time.
Until Graham asserted his shrewdness, it was Hall and George who were the conspicuous forces and Hall's more persistent interventions slightly outweighed in that early phase the more spectacular flourishes of George.
George, reminding us that his brief from the Arsenal management is to shoot whenever there is any reasonable chance, hammered the ball ferociously with his right foot and saw it dip close to Clemence's crossbar, but slightly too high.

 ESPN.com Soccernet England: News - Graham risks a compliment to Glenn
George Graham has had to learn the art of deflecting criticism - and he was forced to do so again after Tottenham's latest goalless draw, when he spoke about Southampton as if they were some kind of superteam.
Graham bemoaned the absence of four first-team regulars but the visitors, too, were far from full-strength.
Of course, by talking up Southampton, Graham must have known he was also fuelling the 'Hoddle for Spurs' lobby, with the former England coach having fashioned a side which appears increasingly at ease with itself - a fact which has not gone unnoticed among the fans at the Lane.

George Graham became ever more cautious and so a midfield that had contained Paul Merson and David Rocastle was now more often filled with Ian Selley, Steve Morrow and David Hillier.
But for his spell at Arsenal, Kiwomya would be remembered as a decent Championship footballer.
Thanks to that moment of madness from the Arsenal board, he is remembered as a rubbish footballer - that is if he is remembered at all.

 Arsenal-Mania.com - Arsenal News and Articles - Three Cups and a Brown Paper Bag
Before the last few years of George Grahams reign are thought about, it must be remembered that here was a manager that had taken over a club that could quite easily have gone either way, and led it to two league titles in the previous four seasons.
Graham had already accepted he'd lost the team and that it was time to go, and an agreement had been made with the board (in secret) that he should resign at the end of the season.
Grahams argument was that the agent would not give anyone nearly 2/3's of his fees and that the money was in effect for the advice he'd given.

 BBC News | FOOTBALL | Palmer blasts Graham regime
Coventry City midfielder Carlton Palmer has claimed that his former manager George Graham cannot attract players to Tottenham because of his disciplinarian style.
The midfielder was given the cold shoulder by Graham at Leeds United, when the former Arsenal manager took the reins at Elland Road.
He insisted he was able conduct himself in the right manner as a professional footballer without anybody else telling him what to do.

 The Sun Online - Football: You must be bold, Tony
And there will be nobody more proud when, for the first time with Adams as boss, the Wycombe defence move forward in line with their arms upraised, the linesman flagging and the referee blowing for offside.
Graham knew the strapping, but raw, central defender was ready to become Arsenal’s captain at just 21.
Even so, and Tony will know this because he is not naive, footballers are not going to be like the students he has been studying with recently.

 Arsenal Land / Columns
It was Graham who ripped out the rotten, complacent interior of the club and restored it to its art-deco peak: bold and stylised, but also simple and effective.
Graham is today much maligned – he is now depicted as a tactical dinosaur -but I believe he will be given far more credit in years to come than has been his due.
Graham kept winning trophies and retained his best players despite both the emergent United of the early 90’s and a parsimonious board that would not grant him the funds to overhaul a limited squad.

George Graham has sprung to Sol Campbell’s defence after a week of bizarre behaviour by the Arsenal centre-back.
But Graham, who managed Campbell when he was at Tottenham, said that all the player needed was time to get his confidence and fitness back and the best place for him was back with his colleagues.
He is a very private person, very deep and not your usual flamboyant footballer,” Graham said.

George Armstrong, the former Arsenal winger, one of the heroes of their famous 1971 League and Cup double side, and latterly reserve team coach, has died suddenly after collapsing on the club's Hertfordshire training field, aged 56.
Almost inevitably, perhaps, he returned to Highbury, brought back in 1990 by his former team mate George Graham who said: "He was such a thorough professional and a great help to me at Arsenal.

Dear Editor, May I offer a piece of advice to Ghana's most enterprising footballer today, Michael 'Bison' Essien and his agents and managers in the light of numerous offers the player is said to be receiving from top clubs in Europe.
With a boisterous media and highly nationalistic football fans, Africans and South Americans have not found England the most ideal place to ply their trade.
In most transfers, monetary considerations are supreme but for the long-term interest of Essien I advise his managers and agents to make a careful analysis of his future in the various leagues before deciding on which bid to accept.

 FirstTouch OnLine
Unusually for the current side, Bergkamp was not an Arsene Wenger capture but was brought to London by his predecessor Bruce Rioch, moving from Inter Milan for £7.5million in June 1995, a fee which looks quite ludicrously cheap given all that he has since done for the club.
English fans already knew plenty about Bergkamp when he arrived in England having seen him at his best with Ajax, Inter and the Dutch national side for whom he was long a pivotal figure before his retirement from the international stage.
In many ways, he’s the archetypal modern European footballer, economical and unobtrusive in style at times, seemingly almost dormant before suddenly bursting into life with a devastating moment of quality – a defence splitting pass, a drilled shot past a despairing goalkeeper, a dazzling piece of close control.
