Look after the dead " said the priests "and the dead will look after you." Wise words in all probability but a tall order when you have just become the pharaoh of a small & penniless country whose largesse--and indeed treasury--is unlikely to pay for the construction of a monumental pyramid to honor your dead father. & particularly when your only visible means of support is a recently acquired qualification from the Guild of Assassins an association wherein running a kingdom & basic financial acumen were not prerequisites for course entry." ...

Pyrrhus of Epirus was rated by Hannibal as the second greatest general yet seen (placing himself third). Indeed Hannibal referred to Pyrrhus as his teacher although the two never met since he learnt so much of the art of war from his writings. Pyrrhus was born into the royal house of Epirus northwest Greece & was a second-cousin of Alexander the Great. His mother was forced to flee into exile to protect his life when he was a mere infant yet he prospered in troubled times & went from a refugee to become king. Always an adventurer with an eye for the main chance he was deeply involved in the cut-&-thrust campaigning coups & subterfuges of the Successor kingdoms. At various times he was king of Epirus (twice) Macedon (twice) & Sicily as well as overlord of much of southern Italy. In 281 BC he was invited by the southern Italian states to defend them against the aggressive expansion of the burgeoning Roman republic. His early victories over the Roman armies at Heraclea & Asculum (assisted by his use of elephants) were won at such a high price in casualties that they gave us the expression Pyrrhic victory. These battles were the first clashes between the hitherto-dominant Hellenistic way of warfare (as developed by Alexander) & the Roman legions & so full of tactical interest. He failed in Italy & Sicily but when on to further military adventures in Greece eventually being killed in action while storming the city of Argos. ...

Psycho is a word rarely bandied about in football today. There is no place on the pitch for player contact let alone the sort of hard robust tackling that could earn a player such a nickname. But 25 years ago things were different. Only when players really overstepped the mark were their names added to the referees little black book. & Pat Van Den Hauwe had a reputation as one of the hardest players in the game. In a career encompassing some 401 Football League appearances for Birmingham City Everton Tottenham Hotspur & Millwall he notched up two league titles & a European Cup Winners Cup medal
- but he also made his mark as one of the toughest & most feared defenders in the game. But Pat wasnt just a tough player on the pitch. The way he lived his life meant that he needed to be tough off the pitch as well. A hard nut reputation invites people into your life who want to see how far they can push you
- & Pat Van Den Hauwe attracted such people by the bus-load.
