 Herbert Chapman (1878 - 1934) - the greatest football manager?
The interesting point as far as I'm concerned was the fact that Herbert Chapman was born on 19th January 1878 in Kiveton Park a village on the outskirts of Sheffield that had until recently a strong mining and industrial heritage.
The inference from the data is that the family must have moved from Derbyshire from where both Herbert's parents came from to Kiveton Park at sometime around 1870 which is roughly the same time as the coal measures in the area were being developed.
Herbert was still living in the district twenty years later for the 1901 Census reveals that he was employed as a weighbridge clerk at the colliery.

In defending their initiation of a war on the basis of flawed intelligence, John Howard, Tony Blair and George Bush keep asserting that war was justified, and legal, as Iraq was in breach of UN resolution 1441.
I wonder though whether that resolution was passed by the UN on the basis of the same flawed intelligence, and whether it would have existed at all had the UN known then what we know now about Iraq's weapons.
John Winston Howard's actions and motives have always been suspect and he must be called to account for his part in the deaths of thousands of Iraqi civilians.
