You might know Karen Carpenter as the sweet-voiced singer of Carpenters hits like “Please Mr Postman,” but did you know her first musical career was playing jazz drums? She was an immensely talented musician who influenced an entire generation of girls to try the drums. A 1975 Playboy poll ranked Karen as the world's best drummer – edging out Led Zeppelin's John Bonham, The Who's Keith Moon, and The Beatles' Ringo Starr. Not to mention, Karen influenced countless iconic female artists. Madonna, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crowe, and Natalie Imbruglia are just a few who have credited her as an influence.

If he's not going to play Ricardo at FB I'd like to see him play as an 8/10 depending on the formation.

Looked a 10 a penny average midfielder of course his impact may improve as he acclimatises but at this time he doesn't look like he offers more than many a Championship midfielder might offer. I await to be surprised. Same with Ayew what ever his skill set and position is. We're slowly building a team of average players but I guess that is our lot after the catastrophe of our relegation.

Why is the BBC paying out this level of wage it's not as if there's a shortage of ex-players or even knowledgeable fans who'd love to do this job. Jenas earned between £190,000 and £194,999 at the BBC in the last financial year for his work on coverage of football including the FA Cup, Match of the Day and the World Cup. His salary for his work on The One Show has not been made public because it is paid by BBC Studios, the BBC's commercial production company, which doesn't reveal how much it pays presenters.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-leadership-decision-taken-9505876 Sportopinion By Jordan Blackwell 13:23, 23 AUG 2024 Fifteen-year-old shown pathway City’s under-21s have kicked off their season, starting with a 2-1 defeat to Southampton in Premier League 2 and then a 3-1 loss to Burton Albion in the EFL Trophy. Two late goals saw City fall to the League One side, but the performance was one to be proud of, with the youngsters the better side for large parts of the match. And it really was a young side. In the second half, City brought on two 15-year-olds in Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans. Both were part of the under-16s team that won the Premier League Cup in May, although they spent most of last season with the under-18s. Lots of the players from that successful under-16 group have signed scholarships over the summer and it seems the club are keen to show the likes of Monga and Evans that there is the possibility of a fast route to the first team if they keep proving themselves. City won’t want a repeat of the situation with Trey Nyoni. The attacking midfielder was poached by Liverpool last summer and made his senior debut aged 16 in the FA Cup in February. He was with Arne Slot’s first team for their pre-season trip to the US too. If City are to keep their best youngsters out of the hands of the biggest clubs, they must show there is a pathway to the first team. With Monga in particular, that appears to be the process. An England youth international, the right-footed, left-sided winger looks to be a special talent. He only turned 15 this summer, and his footwork, dribbling, and weight of pass are exceptional for his age. He’s come off the bench in each of City Under-21s’ matches so far this season, catching the eye on both occasions. Leon McSweeney is the man who made the decision to give Monga game-time. Assistant coach to the team under Ben Petty last season, McSweeney is looking after the team while the club continue their search for a new head coach for the Under-21s. Petty left for Birmingham this summer to become assistant manager to Chris Davies. Speaking after Tuesday’s loss to Burton, McSweeney told the club: “At 1-1, we’re bringing two 15-year-olds onto the pitch to experience this environment. It’s exciting just taking them off the bench and seeing them pit their wits against senior players. “They didn’t look out of place. They handled it. They looked composed in possession. They’ve got really exciting futures. That’s what we’re all about as an academy, to give those guys the platform and show them the pathway at the football club. It’s the old adage: if you’re good enough, you’re old enough. Get on the pitch and do your thing.”

Story of Leicester · Follow 8 h · The De Montfort Press was founded in 1876 and continued in business until 1976. In 1922 the business moved from the city centre to this factory in London Street. At the time, these premises incorporated the latest ideas in modern factory design, including large windows and spacious workspaces, so that workers had fresh air and could see the countryside. Under its director Franklyn Edmund Ward, who had joined as salesman in 1920, the company became the country’s first colour book printers. Franklyn Ward also set up his own publishing company during the 1930s depression, in order to provide work for the De Montfort Press. In 1941, he advertised in the Times for authors of children’s books. After a modest success with a book of nursery rhymes, on 12th May 1945 he published the first of Rev. Wilbert Vere Awdry’s “Railway Series”, starring Thomas the Tank Engine. This first book sold a record 55,500 copies within a few months, and went on to become a world-wide success.

https://www.foxsports.com.mx/2024/08/21/leicester-city-pregunta-por-santiago-gimenez-para-llevarlo-a-la-premier-league/ Gustavo Mendoza revealed that Leicester City, who have Jamie Vardy as their reference point in the Premier League, are following the Mexican. August 21, 2024 | 0:24 am hrs There is just over a week left until the transfer market closes in Europe and the attention of many is focused on which team will sign Santiago Gimenez , the Mexican striker from Feyenoord who has been linked with various countries and clubs in recent months, with a new possibility recently added in the Premier League . Our fellow journalist at FOX Sports , Gustavo Mendoza, had already revealed in recent days that Nottingham Forest was the most insistent club in acquiring Bebote's services, even with a call from Nuno Espírito Santo directly to Gimenez to make him see how important he considers him for his project as a coach. Although Nottingham has lost momentum in recent days, that does not mean it is ruled out, another Premier League team appears to be following in the footsteps of the Cruz Azul team, information revealed on Tuesday night in La Última Palabra . Leicester interested in Santiago Gimenez, FOX Sports reveal Gustavo Mendoza himself shared privileged information , after consulting with people close to the Mexican National Team striker, about the appearance of Leicester City on the scene asking about his services, although there is nothing formal at the moment. “Santiago is putting sporting interests before economic ones. By the way, Leicester approached to ask why they only have Jamie Vardy as a striker, who is 37 years old. At Nottingham there is Cris Wood, with whom he would have to fight for the position, but Santi wants to play in the Champions League” , commented our colleague GusMenFox. “ There is still a chance to move to another country and, if that doesn't happen, he is very convinced to stay at Feyenoord for another six months. And, mind you, the possibility of Nottingham Forest is not completely ruled out ,” he added. Which team would be best for Santiago Gimenez? Although fans expect to see Mexican players in elite clubs, the truth is that only a few compatriots have reached those levels. Having understood the point, Alberto Lati believes that it would be better for Santi Gimenez to go to the Premier this summer , as long as the coach considers him essential, as has already been demonstrated by Nottingham. “We would have liked him to go to Manchester United, Liverpool, Atlético de Madrid or Juventus, but perhaps it is not the right time . Going as a leader, as a first striker to a project in a top league and not going as a third striker to a top-level team, that will come to him if he earns it. I think Nottingham is a great option for Santi Gimenez because he fulfils that requirement, it is the Premier League and the coach wants him ,” said Lati in LUP.

I've got 6 of those will take a look at the others.

I don't care if they want to leave but either leave or stay dont clog up the stairs and vomitory blocking the view.

Ndidi's against Spurs

I would describe Vardy as the ultimate team-mate'published at 17:46 20 August 17:46 20 August Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has been described as the "ultimate team-mate" by Robert Huth, who alongside Vardy helped the Foxes win the Premier League in 2015-16. The 37-year-old forward netted the equaliser in Leicester's 1-1 draw against Tottenham on Monday and, as he was being substituted, appeared to taunt the travelling Spurs fans about their failure to win a Premier League title. Huth told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I do sometimes think football gets a bit boring, everybody has the same answers in interviews. So it is kind of refreshing having players having a bit of fun with supporters. "As long as both sides understand it's just a bit of banter and a bit of humour between them, then that's absolutely fine. I actually enjoy it, I think it just brings something to the game, a bit of spice to it." The former Germany centre-back continued: "He [Vardy] is exactly what you see on TV. He does it to opposition fans and opposition players, but he also does it to his own team-mates. He's very annoying but very lovely with it. "I would probably describe him as the ultimate team-mate really. When he's on the pitch you know he's going to give it his all, you know he's going to fight for 100 minutes. He makes a rubbish ball look good with his energy. He's a really infectious character. "It was great to have him in the team when I played, he certainly made the difference for us."

the Golden Age · Join Suggested for you · Jason Mariner · 3 d · Chances are that you've never heard of a man named Bert Berns. But most likely you know the songs "Twist and Shout," "Piece of My Heart," "I Want Candy," "Here Comes the Night," and "Hang On Sloopy." Those timeless tunes were written or co-written by Bert Berns, the many-hit wonder who thrived as a songwriter, record producer, and label chief with his own label, Bang Records. Not only did he write a string of hits, Berns also produced the iconic songs "Under the Boardwalk," "Brown Eyed Girl," and "Baby I'm Yours." What's more, he launched the careers of Neil Diamond and Van Morrison. In the most tragic turn, Berns didn't start having hits until he was 30, and died of a heart attack at 38. But from 1960 to 1967, he had 51 chart toppers. "He did the trifecta, which no one else did," explains his eldest child, Brett Berns. "He was the songwriter of standards, the consummate record producer. He could maneuver in the business world and have a successful record label. And he was a great talent scout who discovered so many icons and legends of rock and roll, rhythm and blues and soul music." Born in the Bronx, New York City, to Russian Jewish immigrants, Berns contracted rheumatic fever as a child, an illness that damaged his heart and would mark the rest of his life, resulting in his early death. Turning to music, he found enjoyment in the sounds of his African American and Latino neighbors. As a young man, Berns danced in mambo nightclubs, and made his way to Havana before the Cuban Revolution. Shortly after his return from Cuba, Berns began a seven-year run from an obscure Brill Building songwriter to owner of his own record labels. He signed as a $50/week songwriter with Robert Mellin Music at 1650 Broadway in 1960. His first hit record was "A Little Bit of Soap", performed by the Jarmels on Laurie Records in 1961. Berns himself had a short-lived career as a recording artist, and in 1961, under the name "Russell Byrd", Berns scored his only Billboard Hot 100 appearance with his own composition, "You'd Better Come Home", which peaked at Number 50. That song would later be recorded by the Isley Brothers, and featured as the B-side of their 1962 single "Twistin' With Linda". Also in 1962, the Isley Brothers recorded "Twist and Shout" on Wand Records, written by Berns and Phil Medley. Berns also hit the charts in late 1962 with the Exciters' "Tell Him" on United Artists, and with Solomon Burke's "Cry to Me" on Atlantic Records. As an independent producer working with myriad record labels, Berns also made important records with Garnet Mimms ("Cry Baby") and Gene Pitney. Berns's early work with Solomon Burke brought him to the attention of Atlantic label chiefs Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler. In 1963, Berns replaced Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller as staff producer at Atlantic, where he wrote and produced hits for Solomon Burke ("Everybody Needs Somebody to Love"), the Drifters ("Under the Boardwalk" and "Saturday Night at the Movies"), Barbara Lewis ("Baby I'm Yours" and "Make Me Your Baby"), Little Esther Phillips ("Hello Walls," written by Willie Nelson), Ben E. King, Wilson Pickett and LaVern Baker. With many of Berns's songs being recorded by British Invasion bands such as the Beatles ("Twist and Shout"), the Rolling Stones ("Cry to Me") and the Animals ("Baby Let Me Take You Home"), Berns became the first American record producer to travel across the Atlantic to work in London. He went to England three times between 1964 and 1965, where he produced a number of British Decca songs such as "Baby Please Don't Go," a traditional blues song recorded by Them, and "Here Comes the Night," recorded by Lulu and Them. Berns formed his own record label, BANG Records, in 1965. With BANG Records releasing predominantly rock and roll, Berns formed Shout Records in 1966 as an outlet for his greatest passions of R&B and soul music. "Piece of My Heart", one of his last songs, was covered shortly thereafter by Big Brother and the Holding Company, which the then unknown Janis Joplin fronted, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100. Berns, who had a history of cardiac trouble as a result of his heart being damaged from rheumatic fever contracted during childhood, died in his New York apartment of heart failure on December 30, 1967 at age 38. He was buried two days later, following a funeral service at Riverside Memorial Chapel in New York.

I was confused as I thought they along with many other similar companies were replaced by Japanese and now Chinese ones.

OptaAnalyst · Jamie Vardy really is like no other Premier League player. Without playing a minute of Leicester City’s underwhelming pre-season campaign in which they lost three of their four games and scored only two goals, Vardy made himself available to start in their return to the top flight against Tottenham on Monday night with manager Steve Cooper in desperate need of a centre-forward. A 37-year-old Vardy has been able to play less and less football over the last few years due to injuries and age, but he was ready, willing and able to play in Leicester’s hour of need. They were far better off for it, and Vardy showed just how unique a player he is. We look at how the 37-year-old still carries so much threat: https://theanalyst.com/.../jamie-vardy-what-premier...
