<h2>Match Overview</h2>



<p><strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/wrexham/">Wrexham</a></strong>’s debut season in the <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/efl-championship/" rel="sponsored nofollow">EFL Championship</a></strong> has been rocky, with a slow start leaving them in the relegation zone, but back-to-back wins, including a big result over <strong>Norwich </strong>last weekend, have given the club a much-needed boost.</p>



<p>They’ll look to build on that momentum against an historic rival, <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/derby-county/">Derby County</a></strong>, who have only managed five points so far and are desperate for a win to create some breathing room near the bottom of the table.</p>

How to watch Wrexham vs Derby County match in the USA: Live Stream and TV for 2025/2026 EFL Championship

How to watch Wrexham vs Derby County match in the USA: Live Stream and TV for 2025/2026 EFL Championship - World Soccer Talk


<p>Wayne Rooney has officially been appointed head coach of Birmingham City. The former <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/manchester-united-tv-schedule/">Manchester United</a> star recently parted ways with D.C. United at the end of the current <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/mls-tv-schedule/">Major League Soccer</a> season. The move by Birmingham helps continue an American connection at the club.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://www.worldsoccertalk.com/championship-tv-schedule">Championship</a> side was <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/american-businessman-buys-45-stake-in-birmingham-city-20230508-WST-432097.html">previously purchased</a> by United States-based Shelby Companies Limited earlier this summer. American Tom Wagner, the co-founder of Shelby, then became the club’s co-owner and chairman of the board. Along with Wagner, former NFL superstar Tom Brady is also a minority investor in the club.</p>



<h2>Birmingham’s board of directors is filled with Americans</h2>



<p>Much of the club’s current board of directors are also American as well. This list includes film producer Matt Alvarez, as well as Andrew Shanahan and Kyle Kneisly. Alvarez most notably helped produce <em>Straight Outta Compton</em> and was previously linked with forming an MLS team in Sacramento. Shanahan and Kneisly are long-time business partners with Wagner.</p>



<p>Birmingham City has also had multiple Americans play for the team as well. Current occasional <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/nations/usmnt-tv-schedule/">USMNT</a> defender Auston Trusty previously spent the 2022/23 season on loan at the club from <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/teams/arsenal-tv-schedule/">Arsenal</a>. Birmingham voted Trusty as the team’s Player of the Season during his lone campaign with the side. Former USMNT star Jonathan Spector also featured for the Blues from 2011 to 2017.</p>

</div></figure>



<h2>Birmingham City waited to hire Rooney to avoid paying DC United</h2>



<p>The Championship side had links with Rooney for some time. However, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12618069/Birmingham-owners-John-Eustace-sacked-Wayne-Rooney.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> out of England suggest that Birmingham waited for the former star to officially leave D.C. United so they wouldn’t have to pay compensation to the MLS club. The Blues are still dealing with economic hardship from a former financial crisis.</p>



<p>Wagner spoke on the importance of hiring Rooney on Wednesday. “Wayne is a born winner. We believe, with the support of his coaching staff, the club, and our supporters, he will take Blues forward on the next stage of our journey,” <a href="https://www.bcfc.com/news/all/wayne-rooney-appointed-blues-manager" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">proclaimed</a> Wagner. “His playing philosophy will help to realize the ambitions we have set for Birmingham City.”</p>



<p>Although things may not have gone to plan in the United States, Rooney gained significant experience with the MLS team. He managed 53 total matches with D.C. in 15 months on the job. The move to Birmingham could also be seen as a stepping stone to a <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/premier-league-tv-schedule/">Premier League</a> club. Assuming he does well with his new team, top-flight teams could very well come calling for Rooney.</p>

Rooney continues American connection at Birmingham City

Wayne Rooney has officially been named head coach of Birmingham City. The move extends an American connection to the Championship club.

<p>The English First Division came into being in 1888 and within 4 years, a young man named Steve Bloomer signed for Derby County from local league side Tutbury Hawthorn. Whilst he may have been highly thought of in the local area, such was the turnover of young men trying their hand at football; Bloomer could have easily been another statistic of those days of the Football League’s infancy. To say Bloomer had an extraordinary life would be something of an understatement and he would write his name in footballing history.</p>
<p>He made his Derby County&nbsp;debut at the beginning of the 1892-93 season and scored his first goal for County on September 24th in a 3-1 win against West Bromwich Albion. That season saw Bloomer finish with very respectable figures of 11 goals in 28 games and the slightly framed, pale skinned young man quickly established himself as a crowd favourite at the Baseball Ground. Possessing great pace, a thundering shot with either foot and a range of passing rarely seen in a forward, his performances quickly saw him chosen to represent England in 1895.</p>
<p>Scoring 2 goals on his debut for England in a 9-0 romp against Ireland, Bloomer seemed to have&nbsp;the football world at his feet but the first of the tragedies that befell him occurred when his brother, Philip, also briefly&nbsp;a Derby County player died in 1896 of peritonitis. Bloomer continued to build his reputation the following season scoring 35 goals in 36 games which included 5 hat tricks and hit a run of hitting 21 goals in 20 games.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A strange side note to this part of his career is that he actually led Derby County to the British Baseball Championship in 1895, 1897 and the final season of&nbsp;1898,&nbsp;which is&nbsp;why Derby County’s old ground was known as the Baseball Ground.&nbsp; As the baseball team folded, Bloomer’s football moved in to a different level scoring goals for fun for both club and country. He became the first player to score 5 goals for his country against Wales&nbsp;and then followed it up 5 years later with another 4 goal haul again in a match against Wales, thus also&nbsp;making him the first England player to score two hat tricks.</p>
<p>In his first spell at Derby, Bloomer was the leading goal scorer in the First Division on 5 separate occasions and twice in all European Leagues. He hit 6 goals in one match against Sheffield Wednesday in 1899 and also scored the first goal at West Bromwich Albion’s Hawthorns Ground in 1900. This man set records for fun and couldn’t stop throughout his career and it was interesting to note how his fortune continued to rise as he left Derby County to join Middlesbrough in March&nbsp;1906 for the princely sum of £750.&nbsp; Shorn of Bloomer’s skills, Derby County were relegated the following season but Bloomer continued to find the back of the net for his new employers.</p>
<p>In his first two full seasons at Boro, he unsurprisingly finished as their leading scorer and played his final match for England in 1907. By 1910, Bloomer was coming up to his 36th birthday, but as Stanley Matthews had returned back to his first love, in 1910, Bloomer returned to&nbsp;a hero’s&nbsp;welcome at&nbsp;Derby County, who were still languishing in the Second Division. Bloomers return almost had an instant impact with another 24 goals&nbsp;but Derby’s promotion charge faltered and they finished 6th.</p>
<p>Bloomer was not being denied the season after and Derby won promotion as Champions in 1911-1912 and he hit another 19 goals for the Rams.&nbsp; Bloomer managed to have another 2 seasons in the First Division, but at 40 years old he finally retired as a player. For most players, that would be the end for their careers in football, but Steve Bloomer’s life then took another amazing turn.&nbsp; In July 1914, he decided to take up the offer to become the manager of the German side Britannia Berlin 92.</p>
<p>3 weeks later, World War I broke out and Bloomer, as a British citizen was <a href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/news/stories/87.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interred in a prisoner of war camp in Berlin, Ruhleben</a>. Amazingly, a football season of sorts was organised between the prisoners and Bloomer once again found himself playing regular football, albeit in a prisoner of war league. He also played Cricket in a prison league that was set up to run through the summer months in the camp, and unsurprisingly Bloomer excelled at that game as well.</p>
<p>During his internment, tragedy once again visited&nbsp;Bloomer and he&nbsp;lost two daughters to illness to compound the earlier loss of his brother. Once again, his success was tarred by personal loss. Released in 1918 at the end of the war, Bloomer had a short spell coaching in Holland but by 1922 he had drifted away from football. On the horizon though was one last amazing hurrah.</p>
<p>In 1923, he made a return to management, taking the reins at Spanish side Real Union. Guiding Union&nbsp;to the regional championship, he found his side in the Copa Del Rey. In those days, the&nbsp;cup was used to decide the Spanish Champions and amazingly, Union had got to the semi-final after beating Seville 3-1. Their opponents were the giants of Barcelona and it seemed that their amazing cup run would come to an end. Bloomer had other ideas and Union blew Barcelona away 6-1, an amazing result for a regional team such as Union.</p>
<p>The Copa Del Rey final would surely be one game too many for Bloomers plucky side as who else but Real Madrid were waiting for them, but once again Bloomer’s side turned the form book on its head to snatch the title with a 1-0 win and become Spanish Champions. It was beyond&nbsp;belief for most people but simply another amazing achievement in the life of Steve Bloomer.</p>
<p>Bloomer eventually returned to Derby and passed away in April 1938, aged 64. In January 2009, Derby County <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/derby/content/image_galleries/steve_bloomer_bust_gallery.shtml?1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">erected a bust of him </a>inside Pride Park facing the pitch, placed next to the home dug out. English football’s&nbsp;first superstar will never be forgotten.</p>

Legends Of English Football: #2 Steve Bloomer

Legends Of English Football: #2 Steve Bloomer - World Soccer Talk

<p>Well this may come as some surprise, but a film about a manager that only had one season in the Premiership may not garner the most interest outside of the United Kingdom but Brian Clough is a legend in European football. Today sees the film version of David Peace’s tome have its World Premier in London and let’s hope it’s a better attempt than the tissue of lies his book is.</p>
<p>I read the book when it came out and found it to be quite a dishonest work of fiction masquerading as a work of truth. Fundamentally, its the fact that it uses peoples reputations and names and fictionalises the 44 day period that Brian Clough spent as manager of Leeds United in 1974. It’s allowed itself to be pushed as a work of fact when the author had no connection with any of the major characters portrayed in the book and they were all dead at the time of the books release with one major exception, Irish midfielder Johnny Giles, who successfully sued the publishers for libel. Norman Hunter hardly says anything, but he’s still alive so escapes Peace’s hatchet job. If you don’t know anything about football, I suppose you may enjoy it but then again, if you do, what’s the point?</p>
<p>Do not be fooled by this film being advertised as a factual representation, the caricature of Brian Clough is as far removed from reality as is possible, factually incorrect and tries to garner controversy in how Clough behaved and acted during his duration as manager of Leeds United. I’m deeply concerned that anyone who sees this film or reads the book will think the events actually happened as they appear in the book and is an honest representation of Brian Clough. David Peace has since claimed that he wished he never written the book and having had the misfortune of reading it, I have to agree with him.It gets fact after fact wrong but claims them as truthful, disgracefully so.</p>
<p>It’s a disgusting, libellous portrait of one of the greatest managers in modern English history and has allowed an author to claim fame using a man who the author isn’t fit to lick the boots of. He has tried to justify his untrue account as a novel, yet has used real people and real events and distorted, lied and besmirched people’s reputations and feels any criticism is unfair. How would David Peace feel if someone took his life story and wrote a completely untrue version of it just because they fancied they wanted to do so. He claims he never wanted to upset Brian Clough’s family yet writes about him as a drunken, chain smoking buffoon who hides away in his office, safe in the knowledge that Clough can’t sue him from beyond the grave.</p>
<p>Whilst Clough’s battle with alcoholism is well documented, it didn’t appear until the late 80’s and certainly never drank in front of his players at any time during his career as a manager at Hartlepools, Derby County, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest. Peace has taken a legend of football and danced on his grave for his own self publicity from his ivory tower in Tokyo, knowing that this dreadful novel will certainly not be the talk of the sushi and karaoke bars.</p>
<p>People will defend it, but the majority of the book is a lie. Clough was a flawed man and of course he made mistakes, but to make up the majority of the incidents is just plainly wrong. It also paints an inaccurate depiction of Billy Bremner, claims Dave Mackay was at Derby when he’d been gone two years, falsehood after falsehood.</p>
<p>If The Damned United encourages you to do anything, buy both of the brilliant Brian Clough autobiographies, or try and search for some of his wonderful interviews on YouTube. It’s a tragedy that Clough didn’t have more time in the Premiership or get to manage England as he should have done. Just don’t give David Peace a penny of your hard earned cash.</p>
