The man who knew better than Lineker

Article Abstract:

The England football team has had two draws and a defeat in the European Championship in Sweden under Graham Taylor's management. A 47-year-old family man, he played as an England schoolboy and for Grimsby and Lincoln City. After injury at 28 he became manager of Lincoln City, then of Watford. His technique involves tough discipline. In 1987 he moved to Aston Villa which he helped back up the First Division. Press reaction to managing the England team is normal for the job; under Taylor England has only had two defeats in 24 games.

Imagine - the elder brother I never knew

Article Abstract:

John Lennon was the member of the Beatles who was most admired by his contemporaries. He had a reputation for being aloof and dangerous, and was seen by some as an older brother figure. He remained a strong influence in their lives, and they were therefore devastated when he was shot dead.
