Longest serving football manager announces his retirement

 


English football's longest-serving manager is to retire at the end of the season from the club he formed with a group of friends 50 years ago.

Jimmy Davies, 71, is stepping down as boss of Waterloo Dock AFC, in the Liverpool County Premier League.

Mr Davies, who first took charge in 1963, said he had enjoyed managing "tremendously".

He added that life in the grassroots game had been "proper football".

Mr Davies's claim to be the longest-serving manager in England has been verified by The Football Association

Mongolian? 

 

I only found out the other day that is the genuine origin of the offensive term "mongol" relating to somebody with downs syndrome. Allegedly because they share similar facial features to those of Mongolian descent. 

 

I do use "mong" a fair bit. I'll probably think twice now.

I thought we used to have a history thread? I couldn't find it... Anyway, I've been looking through my Dutch grandfather's thing and I have here his diary of the last few days of the war. I do have a typed out version which is great as I cannot read his handwriting! Just needs translating.

Also, this magazine type of publication that was given to the German soldiers at Christmas in 1943

I thought there might be some here interested after the topic of World War 2 was brought up in another thread.
