That's News to Me (10) - In September 2004 which ex-soccer club manager died of stomach cancer?

Arguably the most successful manager in British football Brian Clough died at the age of 69. Having won the League Championship with both Derby and Nottingham Forest, he won the European Cup in 1979 and 1980 with Nottingham Forest. His self professed title was "big head", but if that title is correct then we need more people with such belief in their own talents to improve things in this country. No doubt he will be watching over us from that soccer dug-out in the sky. Brian is someone whose talents will be sadly missed.

Aussie Sporting Disasters - After a 1-1 draw with Iran away during the 1998 World Cup Qualifiers, the Socceroos only needed a 0-0 draw (or a win) to advance to the World Cup Finals. What was the final score?
The correct answer is '2-2'
2-2, thus ended our dream on the away-goals rule. We were robbed! November 1997 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground will be remembered for a long, long time. The devastation at the full-time whistle was indescribable: Stan Lazaradis fell to the ground at full-time and did not move for 20 minutes until a policeman came over and helped him off the ground. In attempting to qualify for the 3 World Cups 1990, 1994 and 1998, Australia has lost just one game (0-1 away to Argentina in the 94 qualifiers) and yet did not qualify for any of these 3 final series. There are many of us down under who reckon that the qualification system and the hurdles placed in front of Oceania qualifiers is unfair!
