From being the most dominant club in Scottish football history, Rangers FC was sold to Craig Whyte in 2011...for £1. Although touted as Rangers’ saviour, he was soon hung out to dry as the fall guy for Rangers’ misery as the unthinkable happened. The club was plunged into liquidation and the club suffered the indignity of demotion to the lowest echelon of Scottish football. The demise of Rangers saw Whyte’s reputation eviscerated on the pages of every newspaper, his name vilified on radio shows, TV programmes and blogs. In 2012, he was arrested and accused of fraud.

El fútbol femenino vive una época de expansión. Tras la eclosión experimentada en los últimos dos años gracias a los éxitos de clubes como el F. C.

Deutschland hat viele große Torhüter hervorgebracht. Doch seit Langem hat kein Schlussmann die Position so sehr geprägt wie Manuel Neuer. Seine Ausflüge bis weit aus dem Strafraum hinaus sind legendär, vor allem bei der Weltmeisterschaft 2014 gab er dem deutschen Team dadurch einen enormen Rückhalt. Als derzeit weltbester Torwart kann der gebürtige Gelsenkirchener eine beachtliche Trophäensammlung vorweisen: Neben dem Triple 2013 mit den Bayern und dem WM-Titel 2014 stand Neuer beim bislang letzten Titelgewinn seines Heimatvereins FC Schalke 04, beim DFB-Pokalsieg 2011, zwischen den Pfosten. Und ein Ende der Neuerschen Erfolgswelle ist längst nicht in Sicht.

Born out the docks in the Victorian East End, Millwall and West Ham United's rivalry precedes the formation of both football clubs. The two areas of East London viewed each other with suspicion and discontent—something that only heightened after Millwall's move south of the River Thames in 1910.

As an energetic six-year-old, Beth Mead was taken to a weekly local football session by her mum. Finding a passion for the game, Beth often found herself as the only girl on the team. Despite being laughed at for this, she let her natural talent do the talking. At 16, Mead was signed to Sunderland where she made a name for herself as a top goalscorer. Putting off offers from Arsenal until she completed her university degree, Mead continued juggling work, study and football until she graduated. She then signed to Arsenal and earned a place as a Lioness, representing the England national team.
