Named after an island in the Clear Channels from where it was first made, jerseys before were made of either cotton or wool. In the United Kingdom, a jersey is often referred to as clothing worn by uniformed personnel. In the United States however, jersey are viewed in an entirely different area. Although it still involves uniform and a group of people, in the U.S., a jersey is automatically equated to sports. A sports jersey is a sort of uniform worn by players of a particular team. It includes their personal name, the team’s name and a number. Different sport events have different types of jersey used. However, due to the popularity of sports in the U.S., football for example, jerseys are presently not worn just by the players themselves. These sports jerseys are also not limited to professional teams. Even college teams have. Sports jerseys can also be made to suit your preferences. That’s right. You can actually have personalized NCAA football jerseys. Sports jerseys are grouped i …
The Goal Gourmet: The Peter Kitchen Story In December 1999, Peter Kitchen was voted by fans of both Doncaster Rovers and Leyton Orient as one of their greatest ever players. In more recent polls conducted by BBC’s Football Focus, FourFourTwo Magazine and other popular fanzines, he was voted as one of their best players - some of these polls taking place more than twenty years after he played for them, and is today still considered a cult hero by both sets of fans. Born in Mexborough, South Yorkshire in 1952, Peter Kitchen attended Mexborough Grammar School and represented Yorkshire Senior Schools and England ‘B’ teams. He was spotted by Doncaster Rovers manager, Lawrie McMenemy, and signed up in June 1970, beating Leeds United to his signature. He made his league debut at Shrewsbury Town on 27 November 1970, scoring after just ninety seconds. Between 1970 and 1985, Peter Kitchen went onto play for five different League clubs and scored a total of 210 senior goals from 545 appearances, even after his retirement from the professional game, he turned out for Corinthian Casuals Vets and knocked-in 280 goals from 228 appearances. In this book about one of the greatest goal scorers from the lower divisions, author Neilson Kaufman captures the life and times of Peter Kitchen’s career. The book also features many previously unpublished photographs from Peter’s own collection, and there is a full statistical record on one of the great players ever to put on a Doncaster Rovers and Leyton Orient shirt. This book is a must for the bookshelves of any football fan with an interest on the men who shaped the beautiful game and in particular for the fans of the clubs for which Peter Kitchen played.

Often called “The Beautiful Game”, football, or soccer if you’re from the United States, is unquestionably the most popular sport in the world.
It started with George Best in the 1960’s, and now Soccer is the new rock and roll of our time with multi-million pound paydays, glamorous celebrity lifestyles and worldwide acclaim on offer for its top exponents. Sponsors and TV Companies also profit massively from the world-wide demand for the game and its domination of our TV Screens and popular culture shows no signs of flagging.
Not surprisingly therefore, how to actually train a soccer player to produce the goods on the pitch is big business for the coaches who know how. As an avid football fan for over 25 years I’m going to explain the best conditioning exercises currently known for the different player positions. I am not going to discuss ball control here because that is a separate topic:
The Goalkeeper
The Goalie has to go from a still position suddenly into a quick explosive movement. Powerlifting, reaction training and plyometrics should therefore be the mainstay of the training regime. A controlled low fat diet should also improve agility making it easier for the keeper to span the width of the goal at breakneck speed when required.
The Defender
Similar to the Keeper, the defender needs explosive bursts of energy and good reactions and agility. They also ideally need to be physically bigger to intimidate and impose themselves on the attacking strikers but still be able to run fast enough to keep up with them. Fullbacks need full body strength training but a high protein / low carbohydrate diet to avoid putting on too much weight which could slow them down. Reaction training is also a must here.
The Mid-Fielder
Mid-fielders need to do interval training interspersing sprints with longer runs to improve both their basic fitness and explosive power as they will need both to get them through 90 minutes of what will be a lot of running around (more so than with any other player position). Power lifting to achieve full body strength (but again not at the expense of speed) should also feature prominently to give extra authority to the tackles that will need to be made.
The Striker
Forwards need to train for speed and agility pure and simple. This means factoring in explosive twists and turns into their workouts. They also need good general fitness so they can run at a slower speed for longer periods of time to keep up with the pace of the game and stay in contention to capitalise on any opportunities that are created.
Conclusion
These tips are just general guidelines and obviously will need to be tweaked to fit the individual requirements of different athletes but hopefully the underlying principles should be clear. The more progress a player makes the more individualised his or her training can become.
It is important that any unique physical characteristics of a footballer (e.g. an unusually tall player) be taken into account when initially forming a training program and it is also important to constantly re-evaluate the training methods to find the right ‘fit’ for that particular individual.
To use an analogy from Boxing: behind every great fighter there is a great trainer. The best boxers in history often had very unconventional techniques but had trainers who recognised their particular talents and structured the training to allow for this. Muhammed Ali did everything wrong from a boxing textbook point of view but his trainer, Angelo Dundee, recognised his genius and allowed him to express himself in training, taking a much more ‘hands off’ approach than other boxing trainers of the day.
So perhaps the rule should be that there are no definitive ‘hard and fast’ rules but that if you combine the above basic principles with a flexible approach then the foundation for success can be achieved.
