First Headlines From Other Next Generation Stars

Gabby Logan

Gabby Logan - daughter of Terry Yorath (LeedsUnited) - is interviewed in the Saturday Times Magazine, 12 June 2004.

Louise

Louise Redknapp - daughter-in-law of Harry Redknapp - is on the cover of FHM for June 2004, which has a vote for a decade of FHM women, finding out where exactly she finished in the list, would have meant having to buy the magazine, but, well, finances are tight this month... See www.fhm.com

Louise along with hubby, Jamie Redknapp was also on the cover of the 18 May 2004, no. 816 edition of Hello !. This was to highlight an 8 page Louise and Jamie feature in which they announce, 'the arrival of the longed-foe baby they feared they could never have. So that's what Jamie was up to on his long lay-off with injury this last season just gone... Massive congrats to the couple, from Bob's 70-71 Pages.

28 May 2004 www.bucksfreepress.co.uk reports that Darren was a guest of honour at this season's FA Cup Final for being the player of the first round.

Here is the article, including an interview, which appears at: Currie Looks To Move Abroad (from Bucks Free Press)

DARREN Currie is chasing a move to the Continent after leaving Wanderers by mutual consent this summer.

The midfield conjuror, who won a place in the FA's first ever Team of the FA Cup, is hoping that his box of tricks will be appreciated more on the Continent after Blues boss Tony Adams said he was surplus to requirements at Adams Park.

Currie said: "I would like to play abroad. I think my skills would be better suited over there."

Currie has now put together a video showcase of his talents which his agent is taking around the Continent in a bid to secure his client a dream move.

The 29-year-old nephew of former Leeds and Sheffield United showman Tony Currie says he will turn his back on his homeland with Portugal a possible destination.

Currie was given the five star treatment at last Saturday's FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Millwall after being crowned the Player of the First Round following his two goal salvo in the 4-1 win over Swindon Town.

He joined the likes of Liverpool's Bruno Cheyrou and Arsenal stars Antonio Reyes and Freddie Ljunberg in the FA's inaugural Team of the FA Cup and was given the red carpet experience at Cardiff as a guest at the Millennium Stadium.

He was wined and dined and got to hold the famous trophy itself while mingling with legends such as Sir Geoff Hurst, Paddy Crerand and Trevor Brooking.

Currie said: "It's a day I will never forget. We have been given first class treatment and I couldn't have asked for any more."

But while the FA showed their appreciation of Currie's skills, he has become disillusioned with a section of Wanderers fans who have criticised him this season.

He said: "This has been my best season since being a pro. I've scored nine goals in a team that has been relegated. I've made a lot of other goals and I was runner-up in the Player of the Year award. I think I have done my job.

"Yet I've read on the internet that I'm a luxury, that I don't work for the team.

"It is true that I have been relegated four times in my career but when I got relegated with Shrewsbury I won the Player of the Year, I was only at Plymouth for around six games when they went down, and when Barnet were relegated I was the top goalscorer.

"If I was a snooker player I could accept that it is all my fault because it is one person against another but this is a team game.

"When I first came here the fans loved me because of my skills. They liked what I could do, but now I have been here for some time some of them only seem to notice that I haven't got any pace, and I've always been like that.

He said: "It's like taking a bird out. You go out with her for two years and you take her to the best restaurants and treat her to the best things all the time.

"When you first do it, it is all lovely and she thinks you are wonderful but then she gets used to it because you do all it the time."

Now Currie is hoping to escape his snipers by moving to mainland Europe.

He said: "I would love to go abroad. It is my style of football they appreciate technique and being two-footed much more over there than they do in England."

1 August 2004: Signs for Brighton and Hove Albion in the Championship.

7 August 2004: Debuts for Brighton in the Championship away to Reading. Brighton lose 3-2.

Relation: Father - Frank Lampard

Present Club (click for website): The Official Chelsea FC Website
Premier Division
Final position 2003-2004: 2nd (of 20). Chelsea qualify for the Champions League.

Chelsea are Champions League Semi-finalists.

Frank's record in 2003-2004 season:
League played 38 scored 10, European Cup played 14 scored 4, FA Cup played 4 scored 1, League Cup played 2 scored 0.
England : European Championships played 3 scored 0, international friendly played 3 scored 1.

20 April 2004 Frank played in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg away to Monaco. They lose 3-1.

1 May 2004 Frank plays in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg at home against Monaco. Frank scores in the 44th minute to give Chelsea a lead 2-0 lead at half -time. This also gave Chelsea the advantage on aggregate as they led by the away goals rule. But Monaco came back to draw 2-2 and the tie was lost 5-3 on aggregate. This is the furthest Chelsea have ever been in Europe's top club competition.

15 May 2004 Chelsea end the season with a 1-0 home victory against Leeds United and Frank is everpresent in the Legaue. Indeed all season he missed only one League Cup tie, and thus played a season total of 58 matches for Chelsea with 15 goals. At this time he had also played another 6 England matches. By the end of July Frank played a further 6 England games giving him a season total of 70 matches !!!

Sainsbury's During Euro 2004 Frank appeared with his father, Frank Lampard, in television adverts for the supermarket Sainsbury's, who had launched a coin series that included Frank junior and fellow Next Generation star, Michael Owen. The coins match exactly the famous Seventies coins produced by Esso, and indeed a coin was given for free for customers at the Sainsbury's petrol pumps.

Just like the 70s series the minted squad did not match the chosen squad. Hence, the third Next Generation star to go to Euro 2004 with England, Ian Walker, did not appear, as the third goalkeeper coin was given to Chris Kirkland.

www.sainsburys.co.uk have now dropped thier football coins link.

1 June 2004 Frank plays for England in a friendly versus Japan at the City of Manchester Stadium as England prepare for Euro 2004. He plays the first 82 minutes and he leaves the game at 1-1, which was the final score. It is his 18th cap.

5 June 2004 Frank scores the opening goal in England's second preparation friendly for Euro 2004, against Iceland at the City of Manchester Stadium. He plays the first 49 minutes and he leaves the game at 3-1, and it finished 6-1. His goal was in the 25 th minute, and was his 2nd goal in 19 internationals.

13 June 2004 England's start to the Euro 2004 campaign looks to be perfect when Frank scores in the 38th minute in their opening match against France in Lisbon. As every Englishman will tell you, the lead was maintained until the 91st minute, when two injury time goals by Zidane, gave the French a 2-1 victory. Frank played the full 90 ... er ... 93 minutes for his 20th cap. This is his third goal, and he has scored in successive internationals.

17 June 2004 England's second match of the campaign shot Wayne Ronney to stardom as he scores 2 in the 3-0 victory against Swizerland in Coimbra. This is Frank's 21st cap and again plays the whole match.

21 June 2004 The final group match in Euro 2004 sees England qualify in second place with a 4-2 win against Croatia in Lisbon. In truth, it took Frank's 79th minute goal to convince the English fans that the team was actually going to win, even though they had led since half-time. It was the final goal of the game, as England even safely negotiated injury time ! Frank was substituted for the first time of the tournament, in the 84th minute. It was his 2nd goal of the competition, his 4th for England, and was his 22 cap.

24 June 2004 Frank almost became a national hero, when his 115th minute goal level the scores at 2-2 in the second half of extra time, as England played the host nation, Portugal in Lisbon in the quarter-final.. At least his goal helped to put right the injustice England felt at having a goal disallowed at 1-1 in injury time in the first 90 minutes.

The match went to penalties, which opened with David Beckham missing for England. Frank took England's third penalty, which he scored. Portugal's Rui Costa then missed Portugal's third penalty making it all square at this point. After the initial 5 penalties it was 4-4 and sudden death began. At 5-5 Vassell missed for England, and goalkeeper, Ricardo scored for Portugal, and England 's Euro 2004 campaign ended.

Portugal went on to lose to Greece 1-0 in the Final, making one of the biggest upsets in European football.

Frank has now played 23 games for England and scored 5 goals. For a second time he has scored in successive matches. His 3 tourrnament goals made him the equal 5th highest scorer, though he was still second highest English scorer behind Wayne Rooney, who scored 4.

18 August, 2004

Frank plays the first 74 minutes of England's 3-0 victory versus Ukraine. The match was a friendly played at St James' Park in Newcastle. The score was 3-0 when Frank left the pitch. It is Frank's 24th match, he has scored 5 goals for England.

28 April 2004 Tobias plays 72 minutes of a Euro 2004 warm up friendly away to hosts, Portugal at Coimbra, one of the stadiums that matches will be played at. It was 1-1 when he left the game and it finished 2-2, it is his 34th cap for Sweden, he has previously scored once.

28 May 2004 Tobias plays in an away international friendly against Finland at Tampere. He play a full 90 minutes and Sweden win 3-1. It is Tobias's 35th cap.

1 June 2004: Tobias moves from Everton to the Danish SuperLeague side, FC København

5 June 2004 Tobias plays the first 61 minutes of a home fixture for Sweden at Stockholm against Poland in their last Euro 2004 warm up match. It was 2-1 when he left the field, but it finished 3-1 to Sweden. It is his 36th cap.

14 June 2004 The Euro 2004 begins and Tobias plays the full match against Bulgaria in Lisbon, and Sweden win 5-0 ! It is Tobias's 37th cap. Tobias picks up a yellow card.

18 June 2004 Sweden's second match is a 1-1 draw in Porto, and again Tobias plays the full match. However, Tobias picks up a second yellow card and will miss the next match. It is Tobias's 38th cap for Sweden.

22 June 2004 Banned from the game Sweden draw with Denmark 2-2, a score that people had joked would happen because it would allow both Scandinavian teams through at the expense of Italy. A last minute Italian winner against Bulgaria was met first with joy - then despair, once news of Denmark's late 2-2 equaliser filtered through to the players. Sweden win the group.

26 June 2004 Tobias is back in the side to play the Netherlands in the Euro 2004 quarter final. 90 minutes, the silver goal, and the full-time of extra-time, fail to find a goal. So the game is to be decided on penalties.

Ibrahimovic shocked everyone by missing for Sweden, but a Cocu miss for the Netherlands levelled it up at 3-3, and it was 4-4 after the initial 5 penalties. But Melberg missed the first sudden death penalty and the Dutch go through when Robben scored his effort.

Tobias plays the full match, but did not step up to take a penalty. He ended the Euro 2004 campaign on 39 caps, having scored 1 goal for Sweden.

18 August 2004 Sweden play in a friendly at home to the Netherlands in a friendly. Tobias plays the whole game in a 2-2 draw. It is his 40th game, and he has 1 goal for Sweden.

Final position 2003-2004: 4th (of 20). Liverpool qualify for the Champions League.

Michael's record in 2003-2004 season:
League played 29 scored 16, UEFA Cup played 6 scored 2, FA Cup played 3 scored 1.
England - Friendly played 4 scored 2 and European Championship played 6 scored 2.

Adverts. With the Euro 2004 dominating media coverage, and Michael being one of England's most high profile players, adverts featuring have dominated television and magazines in recent months.

The main ones have been for Persil washing powder where an actor playing a very young Michael is shown constantly getting dirty and ends with Michael holding the product and saying 'Thanks Mum' or ome such phrase.

Next up is Lucozade Sport. There is a rather cool tough hitting television advert with a mean looking Michael, and newspaper / magazine campaign where you can get a free 'Michael Owen minute'. It is texted to you and if Michael scores in it you can win money. Of course he only scored once at Euro 2004 in the end, so the prize must have been higher than lower.

Umbro continue to use Michael in adverts for the England kit. The more recent campaign is for the X-static shirt in which Michael's eyes are very spooky robotic style. He is joined by David James and John Terry. See www.umbro.com.

Finally - well of those I've spotted - there is another, in magazines, where Micahel is crossing the Abbey Road zebra crossing a lá the Beatles' 'Abbey Road' album cover. The advert is for Reebok's Liverpool kit.

See www.liverpoolfc.tv/newkit/images/header.jpg for Reebok's advert
and
Abbey Road for the original.

Oh one last thing, Michael is on one of the Sainsbury coins - for which see Frank Lampard

Front Covers. OK, I'll admit I completely lost track of the magazines on which Michael appeared on the front cover over the Euro 2004 period. Certainly he was the main player (of 3) on the front of the July 2004 edition (no 119) of FourFourTwo, and I believe, Shoot Monthly at the same time.

He was also one of the main players on the front of Match ! on 5 June 2004 and 12 June 2004

15 May 2004 Liverpool end the season with a 1-1 home draw against Newcastle United. Although he scores in the match , Michael's 16 goals makes him just equal 8th in the list of Premiership scorers, and with 20 goals he is just 11th in the list of Premiership highest scorers in all competitions (including Jon Stead, who played for Huddersfield Town for much of the season).

Generally it is believed Michael had an average season, and Liverpool a poor one by their standards.

1 June 2004 Michael plays for England in a friendly versus Japan at the City of Manchester Stadium as England prepare for Euro 2004. He plays the first 77 minutes and scores in the 22nd minute to make it 1-0. He leaves the game at 1-1, which was the final score. It is his 55th capand is his 25th goal - which now pulls him ahead of Geoff Hurst as 11th on the list of England's all time highest goalscorers.

5 June 2004 Michael plays the first 53 minutes of England's second preparation friendly for Euro 2004, against Iceland at the City of Manchester Stadium. He leaves the game at 3-1, and it finished 6-1. It is Michael's 56th cap.

13 June 2004 England's start to the Euro 2004 campaign looks to be perfect when Frank Lampard scores in the 38th minute in their opening match against France in Lisbon. As every Englishman will tell you, the lead was maintained until the 91st minute, when two injury time goals by Zidane, gave the French a 2-1 victory. Michael was substituted in the 69th minute, it was his 57th cap.

17 June 2004 England's second match of the campaign shot Wayne Ronney to stardom as he scores 2 in the 3-0 victory against Swizerland in Coimbra. Michael came off after 72 minutes when the score was just 1-0. This is Michael's 58th cap.

21 June 2004 The final group match in Euro 2004 sees England qualify in second place with a 4-2 win against Croatia in Lisbon. In truth, it took Frank Lampard's 79th minute goal to convince the English fans that the team was actually going to win, even though they had led since half-time.

It was the final goal of the game, as England even safely negotiated injury time ! Michael played the whole game for the first time of the tournament.. It was his 59th cap. This is only the third time in his England career that he has gone 4 games without a goal - he has never gone 5 games.

24 June 2004 Michael almost became a national hero, when his 3rd minute goal gave England a 1-0 lead that they held on to for 80 more agonising minutes, as England played the host nation, Portugal in Lisbon in the quarter-final. Sadly Portugal equalised, and England had to suffer an injury time disallowed goal.

After extra time the scores had moved on to 2-2, thanks to a late equaliser by Frank Lampard, so the match went into penalties.

David Beckham opened with a miss for England, but Michael scored the second to make it 1-1 with the Porugese still to take their second penalty. Portugal's Rui Costa missed Portugal's third penalty making it all square at 3-3. After the initial 5 penalties it was 4-4 and sudden death began. At 5-5 Vassell missed for England, and goalkeeper, Ricardo scored for Portugal, and England 's Euro 2004 campaign ended.

Portugal went on to lose to Greece 1-0 in the Final, making one of the biggest upsets in European football.

Michael has now played 60 games for England and scored 26 goals, which finally takes him into the Top Ten of English Highest goalscorers, equal with Bryan Robson. See England Highest Scorers.

Every goal now would lift Michael up the list until he reached 31 goals, which would make him no.4 in his own right. After that there is a big gap to Jimmy Greaves with 44, Grry Linekar on 48 and top placed Sir Bobby Charlton on 49, but he must be well poised to become England's first scorer of 50 goals baring in mind he is still only 24.

18 August, 2004

Michael scores the second goal in the 50th minute of England's 3-0 victory versus Ukraine. The match was a friendly played at St James' Park in Newcastle. Michael played all 90 minutes. It is Michael's 61st match, and his 26th goal for England. Michael is now the equal ninth highest goalscorer for England with David Platt, see England Highest Scorers.

Final position in 2003-2004: 18th (of 20)in Premier Division. Relegated.

Ian's record in 2003-2004 season:
League played 37, FA Cup played 2, League Cup played 1

15 May 2004 Leicester City almost pull off the shock of the season by holding on to a 1-0 lead till half time away to Champions Arsenal. The match was meaningless for Divisional placings, (unless you consider that Leicester, already relegated, did need to try and avoid being bottom. But the game had a higher profile as Arsenal were attempting to go a whole season undefeated. Ultimately Arsenal did win 2-1, and are now aiming to beat the record of 42 unbeaten top division matches - they are on 40.

Ian was Leicester City's most played player in the season. He missed just the one game, a Premiership match, because he was sent off at home to Birmingham City.

1 June 2004 Ian's recall to England continues as he is named in the squad for the Euro 2004 warm up friendlies. The first of which is the 1-1 draw at the City of Manchester Stadium against Japan.

Ian was on the bench as third choice goalkeeper, behind David James and Paul Robinson. In spite of the large number of substitutes used, James played the whole 90 minutes.

Ian has been capped 3 times previously, but his last game was on 17 February 1997 against Italy. He was a Spurs player at the time of all of his three caps.

5 June 2004 Ian finally wins his 4th cap for England after a 7 year wait ! It was his first cap as a Leicester City player. Ian came on for Paul Robinson in the 62nd minute against Iceland in the City of Manchester Stadium. It was 4-1 when he came on. It ended 6-1 so he kept a clean sheet ... of sorts !

Euro 2004 Ian makes it to the 23 man squad that travels to Portugal for Euro 2004. Ian is praised in the papers for taking his training seriously though it is known it is unlikely, as third goalkeeper, that he will play. Indeed, Ian is on the bench for all four England matches, and David James plays every minute of the tournament. See Frank Lampard or Michael Owen for more details of England's progress.
