• The adidas Telstar was the official ball of the 1970
FIFA world cup. It was specifically designed to be
visible on television screens, hence the name
which is short for television star. It was made of
leather but had some degree of water resistance
provided by its shiny durlast coating.
• While the football has significantly evolved since
the days of telstar, a feature seen first on the
telstar ball has come to represent footballs in
general and does so to this day.
• What feature ?

1.
• It was the first football
to use the truncated
icosahedron or
bucky ball for its
design, consisting
of 12 black pentagonal
and 20 white
hexagonal panels,
which has since
became the
quintessential design of a
football.

• _________ is an English football manager who is credited with transforming
Swedish football. Ironically this manager’s greatest successes have come
outside English football.

many years in non-league football. He started his managerial career in
Sweden achieving multiple successes with various clubs before he took
charge of the Swiss national team. He led them to the 94 world cup and
Euro 96. Before that Switzerland had not qualified for a major tournament
since the 1960’s.
• He then joined Inter Milan where he stayed for two years reaching a UEFA
cup final. Next he moved to Blackburn Rovers, and guided them to the
UEFA cup in his first season but was sacked the next season due to poor
form.
• In 2001 he returned to Serie A to manage Udinese before spells as coach of

wasn't until the year of 2001 that they had their first gathering. They
now reportedly count 80,000 members from more than 60 countries
around the world.

• It could be seen as a type of syncretism. It's clear that the passion
between the different members is what glues them together. As
Alejandro Verón, one of the founders tells us “I have a rational
religion and that’s the Roman-catholic church, and I have a religion

• There are several possible reasons why this proved to be his last
test innings. He was selected because several players were injured
and these players soon returned and the West Indies had a very
strong batting line up during his prime with Frank Worrell, Clyde
Walcott and Everton Weekes dominating the middle order.

• Jeff Stollmeyer, who missed the match with a pulled
hamstring, wrote: “Y’s innings in its later stages was not in keeping
with the state of the game and his captain Gerry Gomez was forced
to send a message out to him to 'get on with it'." The game was
drawn and perhaps Y unfairly took the blame in the eyes of the
selectors.

• Y is actually the holder of one of the most envied records in Cricket.
But one-match-wonders don’t count, do they?

had a love-hate relationship with Y, and the two frequently clashed, most famously in
May 2002. Y criticized X for missing team practices and X defended himself with what
would become a famous and oft-quoted monologue:
• X: “…We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're
talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a
game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go
out there and die for and play every game like it's my last but we're talking about
practice man. How silly is that? …”
• (In all X used the word practice 20 times)
• Y(the next day): “He said "practice" more times than he's actually practiced.”

• In an article which he wrote in 1949, famous cricket historian and

it snatched away both times in the face of all probability and eleven great
English cricketers.

impossible to them. It means that ‘Y’ have never lost a test match until the last
run is scored or their last wicket has fallen.
