Released Jul 18, 2007
A protagonist who lacks some or all of the qualities traditionally seen as heroic.
Backtracking is the act of navigating through previously explored areas, usually for the purpose of progressing in an objective-based adventure game. Players who are lost may also backtrack to reorient themselves.
Winged, usually flying creatures, many of which enjoy perching on branches and defecating on unfortunate victims below. Legends say they bring good fortune to mobile game developers.
A blacksmith is someone who forges iron and steel to create new items. They are common vendors of weapons and other metallic objects in fantasy RPGs.
Games are sometimes divided by chapters, sections, acts, etc.
A professional cook. Chefs are often overworked and very sensitive about their cuisine.
Video game controversy revolves around the psychological effects that games with graphic violence or sexual content in them can have on players. Other sources of controversy can range from racism, sexism, politics, or religion.
Infamously stole art assets from a whole bunch of popular games.
Cults don't necessarily have to be evil or out to destroy the world, but in video games it's usually safe to assume so.
A non-interactive sequence within a game most often used for plot advancement.
Someone who investigates unsolved crimes and other mysterious happenings, either for a living, as a hobby, or simply by chance.
Industry jargon used to describe a troubled development cycle that results in long delays, extended periods without new info, and often radical changes to the game.
Some characters get drunk off of alcohol, others get drunk off of the atmosphere and can't feel their own face.
Engrish is the usage of improper English spelling or grammar and is most commonly found within older video games as a result of poor English localization. Although most of it comes from East Asian languages, it is not exclusive to that region.
An industry game design convention that's appeared in many games over the years. The fetch quest involves sending the player out to collect a certain number of items, and return them to complete the quest. A staple of the RPG and Adventure game genre.
Fog plays an important role in many games. In games like Silent Hill, it's an atmospheric element. In other games, it's artificially added to reduce framerate and draw distances to save memory.
Footprints are visible marks left behind by a character walking.
Characters that have a French accent.
Game Over originally appeared in pinball machines, and later, arcade machines. When players lose at a game, it is game over.
The concept of a game referencing another game through mockery, parody or even directly. A game reference to the same franchise does not count.
Magical creatures made of stone, resembling the grotesque statues commonly part of Gothic architecture such as the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.
Characters with german accent.
Ghouls are carrion eating undead creatures that dwell in graveyards and other lonely places. The stench of death surrounds these vile abominations wherever they go. Some Ghouls have been known to paralyse their victims with their manky claws.
All dogs go to heaven? Nobody told these.
Nothing helps set a game in a specific point in time more than having a few famous faces from history drop by to say hi.
Bums, migrant workers, vagabonds, tramps, transients. Unfortunate individuals who live on the streets because they can't afford a proper home.
Games with characters known for wearing hoods over their heads, whether they be cloaked cultists, assassins, or just guys that keep their hoodies in the upright-and-locked position.
Equines that go 'neigh' and tend to eat hay. Some are the stars of motion pictures. The truest of companions to many adventurers.
Anthropomorphic beings sent by God to wreak divine havoc. There are traditionally four horsemen, though their roles vary greatly depending on the game.
A gameplay mechanic allowing players to store their items and freely carry them around.

Boys soccer: Rivals to meet in 6-6A final
The St. Lucie West Centennial boys soccer team built an early lead Wednesday and held on for a 3-2 win over Gateway, sending the Eagles to the District 6-6A final for the first time in the program's 12-year history.
Leonard Jean-Jacque had a goal and an assist and Julio Miranda and Carlos Sanchez also scored for the Eagles (11-2-2), who lost 3-0 to Gateway in the regular season.
Sebastian Tamayo and James Craddock added assists and Kyle Gumm had eight saves in goal.
"We had to make adjustments from the last time we played them," said Centennial coach Calvin Lewis, whose team led 3-1 at halftime. "The kids executed the game plan. We took the early lead and we held them off. We are in the district final for the first time and we know Treasure Coast will be a tough opponent."
Centennial will play Treasure Coast at 7 p.m. Friday for the title. The Eagles defeated Titans 2-1 on Dec. 11.
TREASURE COAST 3, VERO BEACH 0: Diego Ramos and Johnathan Quintero scored goals as the Titans shut out the Fighting Indians in the semifinals and advanced to their second straight district final.
Breno Figueiredo had two assists and Judson Louis had three saves in goal for Treasure Coast (12-3-2).
"This was the most complete first half we have played all year," said Treasure Coast coach Matt Walby. "We scored all three goals in the first half and we were able to rest our regulars and play our bench in the second half."
The Titans will take a nine-game unbeaten streak (7-0-2) into the district final.

Gallery: Nemesis Electric Car Gears Up to Attempt UK Land Speed Record
The Nemesis is the UK´s first electric super car – and it's currently gearing up to break the UK´s electric car land speed record! The brainchild of Ecotricity founder Dale Vince, the Nemesis is powered entirely by renewable energy from the Ecotricity network. The UK's fastest recorded top speed for an EV currently stands at 137 mph – set by the Electric Bluebird, driven by the grandson of legendary speed-merchant and pioneer Sir Malcolm Campbell. The Nemesis team is confident that they will top that when the official record attempt takes place on the 27th of September.

Another Lotus Elise derivative, like the Tesla Roadster. I am surprised how low the electric car landspeed record is at the moment. The motorbike record is at 190 mph already http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/4/1031/6/Motorcycle-Blog-Post/Yates-Sets-Electric-Motorcycle-Speed-Record.aspx
Still glad to see electric going for speed as it is just one of the elements that is needed to ensure that electric can compete with petrol/diesel vehicles for the all important driving experience. It is amazing how far we have come in 15 years as far as alternative energy propulsion vehicles is concerned. Take a look a the list of available Hybrids and electrics here: http://www.livegreen.cc/2012/09/13/electric-and-hybrid-car-choices/

Originally written on 5thRound.com | Last updated 12/20/12
Melvin Guillard (Pictured) doesn't believe "cowardly" Jamie Varner deserves another opportunity to fight him, but as UFC president Dana White promised, the lightweights will in fact be last-minute additions to next Saturday's "UFC 155: Dos Santos vs. Velasquez II" lineup. The 155-pounders were initially slated to square-off this past weekend at "The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale." However, just minutes before taking center stage, Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer pulled Varner from the bout because the former WEC champ was blowing chunks backstage and was far too ill to compete. Guillard claimed Varner was too scared, homie, to face him after seeing the look in his rival's eyes the day before at weigh-ins. Both athletes are looking to bounce back from disappointing losses. Guillard was last seen unconscious on the canvas after buddy Donald Cerrone knocked him out at UFC 150. "The Young Assassin" has dropped three of his last four fights. Varner, meanwhile, was submitted by Joe Lauzon this past August at "UFC on FOX 4." He's victorious in three of his last four scraps. White hinted the shootout could get promoted to the pay-per-view portion of the UFC 155 broadcast, but the scrap will appear in the FX prelims. MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada hosts the festivities. Here is the show's revised roster: Preliminary Card: (Facebook 6:45PM ET/3:45PM PT) John Moraga vs. Chris Cariaso Leonard Garcia vs. Max Holloway Phil DeFries vs. Todd Duffee (FX 8PM ET/5PM PT) Myles Jury vs. Michael Johnson Jamie Varner vs. Melvin Guillard Erik Perez vs. Byron Bloodworth Brad Pickett vs. Eddie Wineland Main Card: (Pay-Per-View 10PM ET/7PM PT) Chris Leben vs. Derek Brunson Alan Belcher vs. Yushin Okami Tim Boetsch vs. Constantinos Philippou Joe Lauzon vs. Jim Miller Cain Velasquez vs. Junior dos Santos (UFC heavyweight champion)

5 Players Who Could Carry Atlanta Braves to a World Series Championship
5 Players Who Could Carry The Atlanta Braves To A WS
Every postseason, the team that wins the World Series has a player that stands out above the rest as its catalyst to a championship. There are times when this player is the same one who stepped up time and time again throughout the regular season, while at other times it is a guy who seemingly comes out of the blue and gets hot at just the right time.
The MVPs of the last two World Series have been David Freese of the St. Louis Cardinals and Pablo Sandoval of the San Francisco Giants, with the third basemen leading their teams to titles in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
When it comes to the 2013 Atlanta Braves, there are several players who are capable of carrying them to a World Series championship.
Rookie Evan Gattis, for example, has contributed in several different roles, appearing as a catcher, first baseman, left fielder, designated hitter and pinch hitter. It is altogether possible that he could start swinging a hot stick again and lead the Braves to win after win in October.
Starting pitcher Kris Medlen is another guy who could lead Atlanta to the ultimate prize by continuing the hot streak that he has been on over the past few months. If the 27-year-old right-hander tosses some more gems in the playoffs, he could be to the Braves what Tom Glavine was when he led them to their last title in 1995.
In the end, neither of those guys made my list, with several of their teammates joining them on the outside looking in, but here's a look at five players who could carry the Braves to a World Series championship in the 2013 MLB Playoffs.
5. Freddie Freeman
Who better to lead the Braves through October than the guy who has been their MVP all year? If there's a big hit to be had and an opposing pitcher chooses to pitch to first baseman Freddie Freeman, he'll find a way to make something happen.
4. Justin Upton
Throughout the month of April, outfielder Justin Upton was not only the hottest hitter in the Braves lineup, but the hottest hitter in all of baseball. He has been coming on strong late in the year, which could spell great things for him in the postseason.
3. Chris Johnson
Third baseman Chris Johnson is currently battling for the top batting average in the National League, having pounded out 50-plus hits to each part of the field during the best season of his career. His presence could be felt in a major way come October.
2. Andrelton Simmons
Shortstop Andrelton Simmons may not have the highest average on the team as he's hitting below .250 for the season, but he has belted 17 home runs to go with 58 RBIs, including a few game-winning hits. On top of that, he is arguably the best defensive shortstop in baseball. There is no moment too big for the 24-year-old, who is one of the most clutch cats around.
1. Brian McCann
In what could be his final month as a member of the Braves, impending free agent catcher Brian McCann will certainly be looking to leave a lasting impression on his hometown team, as well as every other team who may be looking to add him in the offseason. That alone could drive him to put up gaudy numbers in the playoffs.

I had the pleasure, again, of being Mark Johnson's guest on WDEV for his morning call-in radio program. Mark and I connect as fellow introverts. Click here to listen to the show.
We talked about the differences between introverts and extroverts, what it means to be an awakened introvert, and how to practice meditation.
There were four callers into the program with good comments and questions.
I am looking forward to being his guest again later this summer after the release of my next book: The Everything Essential Guide to Buddhism.

'IS HE good-looking?'
Meg felt her teeth literally grind together as her travel companion, Jasmine, repeated the question for the hundredth time. Here they were docking in Niroli, which was undoubtedly the most beautiful island Meg had seen on her travels to date, and all Jasmine wanted to talk about was potential men.
Coming from Australia, where everything was comparatively new, Meg was in awe of the past that drenched each place she had visited on her travels through Europe, reeling at the ancient architecture and glorious tales of times gone by and, for Meg, Niroli had it all! To the South of Sicily, the island of Niroli, according to the travel guide Meg had devoured on the boat trip, was steeped in history, its colourful past filled with rivalries and wars dating back centuries and still playing out today. They'd just passed the tiny island of Mont Avellana, which, as recently as two decades ago, had been ruled by Niroli, and now they were coming into Niroli's main port. Meg stared in wonder as they approached—sandy beaches rapidly giving way to a lush hillside, which was like a fabulous tapestry, with thick forests, and edged by vineyards that laced neatly around the sprawling town. But a grand castle set on a rocky promontory was for Meg the main focal point, standing tall and proud, looking out towards the ocean, as if somehow guarding it all.
'That's the palace,' Meg pointed out to Jasmine excitedly, checking with the map to get her bearings, 'and over to the right there's a Roman amphitheatre….'
'There's a casino,' Jasmine said, peering over Meg's shoulder, 'oh, and a luxury spa!'
'We can't afford luxury.' Meg smiled. 'We're backpacking!'
'Then we'll just have to find someone who can!' Jasmine countered, her mind flicking back to the inevitable. 'So what sort of doctor is he?'
'Who?' Meg asked, then let out a pained sigh as Jasmine's momentary interest in her surrounds rapidly waned. 'Alex is a surgeon,' Meg admitted, then wished she hadn't, noting Jasmine's eyes literally light up at the prospect of dating a rich surgeon—well, she could dream on. Alex was the least money-minded of persons and would see through Jasmine in a flash.
If only she had, Meg inwardly sighed. At first when Jasmine had befriended her, Meg had been only too glad of the company, only lately the very qualities that Meg had admired had started to repel. Jasmine's impetuous nature, her carefree attitude and her obsession with men were starting to irritate, and Meg was actually looking forward to cooling off the friendship a touch—ready now to complete her journey alone.
Backpacking through Europe had seemed the most unlikely of adventures for Meg to embark on. Routine was the key in Meg's life—routine was what saw her through. Routine was the only way she could control her life and the emotions that had overwhelmed her as she'd struggled to come to terms with her difficult childhood.
But now here she was, twenty-five years of age and ready to start living; ready to let go of a difficult past and truly embrace a world that had at times been so very cruel. Backpacking through Europe was the final self-imposed step in her recovery. Casual work, casual clothes and casual meals had at first been a huge enigma for Meg, but gradually she was starting to relax—that knot of tension that had been present for as long as she could remember was slowly unravelling and, as she stepped off the boat and took a deep cleansing breath, closed her blue eyes and turned her face up to the warm sun Meg knew there and then that she had been so right to embark on this journey—could hardly wait to tell her brother just how far she'd come.
'Where is he?' Jasmine's hopeful face scanned the crowd for a first glimpse of a suitable good-looking surgeon. 'Does he look like you?'
'Not in the least.' Meg laughed but didn't elaborate. Alex Hunter was as dark as Meg Donovan was blond, his eyes black where Meg's were blue. They looked nothing alike and with good reason—both were adopted, Alex when he was a toddler, Meg when she was twelve years old. But despite their differences, despite not sharing one shred of DNA, they were as close as any blood brother and sister.
'Does he know what boat you're coming on?'
'I told him ages ago.' Meg frowned. 'Well, I emailed him with the details.'
'And he got it?' Jasmine checked.
'Yes, I'm sure he got it,' Meg answered, but a trickle of unease slid down her spine. 'He should be here.'
'Well, it doesn't look like he is,' Jasmine pointed out as the crowd started to disperse. 'Maybe he's stuck at the hospital.'
'Maybe,' Meg answered, but she wasn't convinced. It was most unlike Alex to just not turn up; if he couldn't make it himself then he'd have sent someone. 'Though I haven't checked my emails for ages. Maybe he's been trying to get hold of me.'
'So what do we do now?' Jasmine asked, her eyes scanning the notice boards. 'They said at the youth hostel there were usually loads of signs advertising for seasonal workers, but there doesn't seem to be any—not that I fancy fruit-picking!'
'It sounds fun. And you do need the work,' Meg pointed out. Jasmine wasn't just down to her last Euro, she was dipping into Meg's carefully planned budget and, frankly, Meg was tired of hearing Jasmine say she'd pay her back as soon as she got some work.
'Well, I think fruit-picking sounds awful.' Jasmine pouted, but soon cheered up, cheekily ripping down a notice and then pocketing it. 'This is more me. They're looking for casual staff at the casino and there's discounted accommodation—ooh, look, there's even a courtesy bus.'

Aviva Premiership: London Wasps tackle London Irish at Adams Park
Last Updated: 15/02/14 8:34am
Wasps will be looking to climb into the top half of the Aviva Premiership standings when they welcome London Irish to Adams Park on Saturday.
Wasps head into the meeting on the back of a dramatic late defeat against neighbours Harlequins last weekend.
The Exiles, on the other hand, sealed an impressive victory away to Saracens and they will be determined to leapfrog ninth-placed Gloucester with another win on the road.
"We have to bounce back on Saturday and everything in training this week has been focused on improving on last week's performance."
Wasps boss Dai Young
Wasps boss Dai Young has named an unchanged team and there are just three changes on the bench, where Nathan Hughes and Charlie Davies return from injury to grab replacement spots, along with Esteban Lozada.
"London Irish will come to Adams Park on the back of a great victory at Allianz Park, while we suffered a tough one-point loss in our last outing," Young said.
"We have to bounce back on Saturday and everything in training this week has been focused on improving on last week's performance."
One Irish change
Meanwhile, Ian Humphreys replaces Fergus Mulchrone in the only London Irish change after the full-back sustained a calf injury in the win over Sarries.
Matt Parr, David Paice and Jamie Hagan make up the front-row with George Skivington again partnering Nic Rouse in the second-row.
Kieran Low and Blair Cowan will play alongside Ofisa Treviranus, who signed a new contract with the club this week, in the back-row.
Tomas O'Leary and Ian Humphreys will start at half-back with Shane Geraghty and Eamonn Sheridan in the centre.
Andrew Fenby, Alex Lewington and James O'Connor make up the back-three.
"I was very pleased with the application and courage the squad showed last weekend at Saracens," said Irish boss Brian Smith.
"We have prepared well this week and want to take this into our match. Wasps played well last weekend and will be looking to make amends against us, so we need to be ready for the challenge."
Wasps: 15 Daly, 14 Helu, 13 Masi, 12 Bell (capt), 11 Short, 10 Carlisle, 9 Simpson; 1 Mullan, 2 Festuccia, 3 Cooper-Woolley, 4 Palmer, 5 Myall, 6 Johnson, 7 Haskell, 8 Jones.
Replacements: 16 Lindsay, 17 McIntyre, 18 Swainston, 19 Lozada, 20 Hughes, 21 Davies, 22 Bell, 23 Hayter.
London Irish: 15 O'Connor, 14 Lewington, 13 Sheridan, 12 Geraghty, 11 Fenby, 10 Humphreys, 9 O'Leary; 1 Parr, 2 Paice, 3 Hagan, 4 Skivington (capt), 5 Rouse, 6 Low, 7 Cowan, 8 Treviranus.
Replacements: 16 Stevens, 17 Yapp, 18 Halavatau, 19 Sinclair, 20 Ellis, 21 Ojo, 22 Dorrian, 23 Allinson.

You believe that your body can make everything good; just one glimpse of your sculpted, toned beauty and—poof!
But what awaited was a joy, a glimpse into the life of the fictional Umbridge.
A major missed opportunity from the network to offer a glimpse at a complex social subject.
c.1400, "to glisten, be dazzling," probably from Old English *glimsian "shine faintly," from Proto-Germanic *glim- (see gleam). If so, the intrusive -p- would be there to ease pronunciation. Sense of "catch a quick view" first recorded mid-15c. Related: Glimpsed. The noun is recorded from mid-16c.; earlier in verbal noun glimpsing (mid-14c.).

Jimmy Greenhoff: sold halfway through a cup final
There is a twinkle in Jimmy Greenhoff's eyes as the conversation turns to his almost telepathic understanding with Alan Hudson. "People ask if we went out socialising," he says, smiling at the memory of their partnership at Stoke City. "We socialised on the pitch."
The fusion of Greenhoff's finishing and Hudson's finesse prompted calls in the mid-1970s for the pair to be picked together for England. It never happened, and while Greenhoff reveals that he was once Don Revie's undisputed first choice, it was only as the caller for the bingo sessions which were an infamous feature of life at Leeds United in the 1960s.
One of the late manager's myriad superstitions was that Greenhoff had to start all the "Legs 11" malarkey when Leeds' squad gathered to play housey housey. Years later, when one was in charge of England and the other spearheading Stoke City's challenge for honours, the call from Revie was conspicuous by its absence. Many labels can be applied to Greenhoff: the only man to be sold halfway through a cup final; the player who reluctantly joined one of the world's biggest clubs because a stand roof blew off; and the scorer of the bizarre goal that won the FA Cup.
The tag that sticks to him most firmly, however, is that of the best Englishman never to win a full cap. Now, as he about to turn 65, he says that is for other people to decide. Yet when he is asked whether he feels he should have represented his country, the response is instant and unequivocal.
"Yes. Most definitely. We should," he says, incorporating Hudson into his answer. "People who know me well will tell that I'm not an arrogant person, but when it comes to football I think I know my stuff. When clubs played Stoke, they were worried about Terry Conroy, John Ritchie, Geoff Salmons. But they would also have been telling their defenders to get hold of me and Huddy or they had no chance. We were tearing defences to shreds."
Did he suspect that Revie, having offloaded him to Birmingham City in 1969, was unwilling to admit a mistake? "Yes. Don did pair me and Huddy, though only for the England Under-23s when I was 29! He came to Hungary to watch us, too, but they put Huddy on the left wing where he couldn't link with me. So it was pointless." Greenhoff stops short of repeating the twice-capped Hudson's view – which stems from the bad blood between his previous club, Chelsea, and Leeds - that Revie wanted them to fail. Having grown up, in football terms, as part of what Revie called his "family", and shared in their triumphs and tribulations, his perspective is more nuanced.
He makes no apologies for revelling in the 3-2 victory for Stoke in February 1974 that finally stalled Leeds' unbeaten start after 29 matches. "I was captain that day," he says. "I went in the local paper and said 'We'll be the first team to beat them'. Don wouldn't have liked coming to the Victoria Ground. "But I didn't see them as 'Dirty Leeds'. I saw them as top notch, like Liverpool a few years later. You just wanted to beat the best. And to me, Terry Cooper, Peter Lorimer, Paul Reaney, Paul Madeley, Norman Hunter and Eddie Gray were even better than the Manchester United group which had David Beckham, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt."
As a boy in Barnsley he had aspired towards Old Trafford, where local boys Tommy Taylor and Mark Jones became Busby Babes before perishing in the Munich disaster. Oakwell was a more realistic venue for observing football in the raw. "I was always first in at the boys' turnstile and I stood on bricks, because I was small, right next to the dug-outs. I loved the smell of linament and wanted to rub that on my legs.
"I remember Arthur Kaye, a little winger they sold to Blackpool; the centre-forward Lol Chappell; Duncan Sharp, Barnsley's '6 foot 2, eyes of blue, Big Jim Holton's after you' type of centre-half; and Harry Hough the keeper. They were my heroes. For a treat my dad might take me to Hillsborough - in south Yorkshire, Sheffield Wednesday were the glamour club."
At grammar school it was "football, football, football" for Greenhoff. "In the second year they graded the kids into five levels, from A to F. I was in class 2B. But sport took over so much that if I'd stayed on, I'd have been in 5F. I used to run to school in the morning to copy my homework off other lads."
He was an attacking wing-half – "put it this way, I didn't like tracking back!" – in the Barnsley Boys team that won the English Schools FA Shield in 1961. When the seven-stone, 14-year-old Greenhoff strutted his elegant stuff on a Valley Parade quagmire in the quarter-final against Bradford, he caught the eye of Leeds' manager Jack Taylor.
Taylor soon gave way to Revie, who was equally keen. Leeds were neither fashionable nor successful, but on the advice of his father James, an ex-Lincoln player who worked in the steelworks at Stocksbridge, Greenhoff signed for them 50 years ago this summer. "Dad had wanted me to be an accountant or at least get a trade. But clubs wanted to sign when I was 15. I'm not being big-headed but I knew I could make it, so I asked my parents to buy me out of school. It cost them £10. I'd left the choice of club to Dad. He picked Leeds because he was so impressed by (Revie's senior coach) Syd Owen when he talked about the game. Dad's judgement was spot-on. I always think, 'You did me right there, Dad'. I believe Syd had told him what he'd seen in 'your James' – I was always James then, and still am in Barnsley, even though everywhere else I'm Jimmy."
Greenhoff swiftly benefitted from Revie's readiness to trust in youthful talent. In May 1963, against Southampton at The Dell, he became the eighth teenager to play in the Second Division side that season, aged 16 years, 330 days. He made his home debut in a 5-0 rout of Swansea Town, the Yorkshire Evening Post's reporter pronouncing his potential to become "another Danny Blanchflower". He was still a £7-a-week apprentice.
"I was in midfield with the maestro, Bobby Collins, who was so helpful to me. But it was always going to be a struggle to get in at right-half because Billy Bremner was the regular No 4. He was the crowd's idol and later captain. I think Don reckoned I was ok, though, because he tried to find me a place. It was Syd Owen who suggested trying me up front. He realised I might be better with my back to defenders rather than having to face them or having to turn and chase back, which wasn't me."
Greenhoff bagged a hat-trick at Fulham in 1968, and remembers slapping Jack Charlton across the head in his excitement. But by then Mick Jones had arrived as first-choice attacker. When Leeds won their breakthrough trophy, beating Arsenal to lift the Football League Cup, Jones was ineligible. Madeley deputised, with Greenhoff on the right wing. "With Don's way of playing in those days I was effectively the first right-back, ahead of Paul Reaney, and Eddie Gray was the first left-back, in front of Terry Cooper. We had to get our tackles in first, before it got to them.
"Once we got to 1-0, Don used to make whoever was on the wings even more defensive. That's what people meant when they said he should have taken them off the leash earlier. That team loved their training, which was always with the ball. They were always ready to learn, too, and once you told them something, it stuck with them. There were no thickies there whatsoever. That's why I think Don should have been less cautious. They could have won so much more, but he created an anxiety and it put pressure on them. I don't hold with this idea that they played too many games. I wanted to play every single one; I never wanted to be rested."
By the start of 1968-69, when Greenhoff played in the first leg of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup final against Hungarian club Ferencvaros, his frustration at being a bit-part player came to a head. "Don was fed up with me because I was forever knocking on his door," he says. "I just wanted away."
Before the second leg in Budapest, his wish was granted. In retrospect it looks ridiculous for a versatile, experienced player of only 22 to have left a leading club to play outside the top flight; baffling, too, that Revie should have accepted a mere £70,000 for him. "Don isn't here to answer for himself but he told me nobody had been in for me except Birmingham. I knew Bertie Mee had been after me for Arsenal. And there was a piece in the Weekly News where Bill Shankly said if he'd known I was for sale he'd have taken me to Liverpool. Don didn't want me joining one of Leeds' rivals."
A year later, with Greenhoff desperate to return to the First Division, Birmingham agreed to sell, with a £30,000 profit. There was no lack of suitors. So why Stoke? "I felt something when I met Tony Waddington. He had a reputation for signing veterans, like Roy Vernon and Dennis Viollet, bless them. I thought it best to be honest and said 'I'm not coming here to do all the running for the old players'. He promised he'd play the youngsters. He kept his word and we did all right. I was very relaxed with Tony. I didn't feel he was looking me up and down. Don was always worried about whether players had the right girlfriend or wife [Greenhoff married Joan, a Leeds girl, in 1968 and they are still together]. He'd ask the other players, 'What's she like? Is she all right?' Tony's team talks were like, 'Who's taking the penalties?' He'd have a quiet word with individuals but he didn't need to instruct someone like George Eastham, Peter Dobing or Alan Hudson how to play. He trusted us, left us to it."
Greenhoff had played in Leeds' 3-2 defeat at Stoke late in 1967-68, when Dobing's hat-trick hampered Revie's title ambitions. "Peter used to love playing against Jack (Charlton). He was the fastest thing I've ever seen over 15 yards. He could've been an England player if he'd wanted it, but he used to say football interfered with his fishing. As long as he had his pipe and a whisky he was happy."
As much as Waddington tolerated, even encouraged such attitudes in his refuge for ball-artists, he wanted his values to deliver some silverware. After remarkable FA Cup runs in 1971 and '72, both culminating in semi-final defeat by Arsenal, they won the League Cup in the second of those congested campaigns.
Greenhoff had been an instant cult hero to the Boothen End, his status surviving a sticky start when he "ran around like a headless chicken and couldn't score for love or money". He did not find the net against Chelsea at Wembley either, but his shot led to 35-year-old Eastham snatching the winner. "It was a volley. I loved volleying and worked hard on it in training. I couldn't believe (Peter) Bonetti saved it. But George stuck in the loose ball.
"The only downside was that I hurt my shoulder badly. Peter Osgood did me! I wasn't going to come off. Not likely. If you watch the video, you can see at the end when Micky Bernard puts his arm round my shoulder, I go 'Aaagghh'."
Hudson, a member of the losing team, would join Stoke within two years. "(Chelsea manager) Dave Sexton didn't like Huddy and Ossie because they enjoyed a few bevvies. Tony quite liked that. Huddy loved him to death and still does. Tony and Huddy would go out drinking together after games. Normally other players would say, 'That's not right'. The lads were fine about it. They thought it was a match made in heaven."
On the pitch, the celestial combination was Greenhoff and Hudson. "When I say we socialised on the pitch, sometimes we partied. We loved playing together. Instinctively we knew where the other would be. I wish I'd played with him from day one. I might've got the European Footballer of the bloody Year! Johnny Giles was the best two-footed player I ever played with. But overall, I rated Hudson even more highly."
Greenhoff endured two "big disappointments" at Stoke. One was their failure to win the League in 1974-75. Leading with three games left, they finished fifth as Derby came through the field. "Tony said later we had nobody who'd been there before and knew what to do. I can't remember if we relaxed too much in training, or stepped it up. Whatever it was, it didn't work." The other was the manner of his departure the following year. A gale ripped the roof off the Butler Street stand and Stoke, uninsured, needed to raise money. Manchester United's offer of £120,000 seemed too good to refuse for a 30-year-old, and he would earn £250 a week.
He was also joining his brother Brian at United, but even now, discussing the break with the Potteries fans makes him emotional. "It wasn't a case of not wanting to join United. I just didn't want to leave Stoke. But if you have to go, what a club to join."
His new manager, Tommy Docherty, shared Waddington's footballing principles and easy-going style. "He was a funny man; a laugh a minute. He had lots of enemies but I loved him. Though it was a young side, he had Big Alex (Stepney) in goal and Martin Buchan, a very good skipper, at the back. The Doc told me I was the final piece in the jigsaw." His ability to form partnerships came to the fore again, this time with Stuart Pearson. "We were both mobile but also both target men. United liked to find one of the front two below head-height. Everything was played on the grass. It suited me perfectly."
Supporters still tell Greenhoff they loved the "cavalier" football of that era, when United reaching three FA Cup finals in four years. He had adored the competition since he watched the "Matthews final" of 1953. In 1977, after a clutch of semi-final losses with Leeds and Stoke, he had the opportunity to emulate the master Potter as a winner.
Liverpool, going for an unprecedented treble of League, Cup and European Cup, barred United's way. Greenhoff's header sent Pearson through to put United 1-0 up only for Jimmy Case to equalise. Then, as Greenhoff hustled for possession, Lou Macari swung at the ball. It struck Greenhoff and looped into the net. "There weren't 20 TV angles on each goal in those days. But one thing's for certain, if I hadn't been where I was it would still have been 1-1. Lou hardly mentioned it for 15 years. Now he keeps bringing it up. I don't know why! At the time it didn't matter who scored it. Winning the Cup was what mattered. We were running back to the centre circle and I saw my name on the scoreboard. Afterwards, (TV commentator) Brian Moore asked who was claiming it. I said if it was going towards goal when Lou shot, it was his. If not, it was mine. We watched it and Lou went, 'It's yours'. What made it worse for him was me getting a golden boot!"
Greenhoff's bullet header earned another victory over Liverpool in the semi-finals two years later, although Arsenal beat United at Wembley. The distinctive blond thatch and adhesive touch were later seen at Toronto Blizzard, Crewe Alexandra and Port Vale, where fans still drool over his thunderous volleyed goal against York in 1983. "One of my best," he confirms bashfully.
Out of the game since a year as Rochdale player-manager, Greenhoff remains a popular visitor at the Britannia Stadium and Old Trafford, where Jon Walters and Javier Hernandez invariably excite him. Asked to choose the best manager he served, the reply is diplomacy personified: "I always loved coming in to work at Stoke. And at United. That's where I enjoyed playing most."
