Things Fall Apart | Jimmy Hogan Adventures

Thursday, April 05, 2012

Jimmy Hogan was pretty ace, you guys! He was being progressive and intellectual about football before it became cool. Basically Jimmy Hogan was a tactics hipster. Anyway he got kind of sick of how the English game was all about strength and speed and mental attitude, so he went abroad and coached all over Europe. The Austrian Wünderteam of the thirties and the great Hungary side of the fifties can both be traced back to Hogan's influence earlier in the century. I think that is really great and I wish he was better known here because English football still kind of suffers from the same problems as it did a hundred years ago!

Anyway have a nice Easter if that is a thing that you do,
