The Joy of Six: unlikely football career twilights

From Micky Quinn’s eventful Greek swansong to Socrates’s freezing cold cameo in north Yorkshire, via Johan Cruyff sticking it to Ajax, George Best and more It is hard to imagine a striker as typically old-school as Micky Quinn choosing to broaden his horizons. He was a burly scouser, his nickname was “Sumo” because of his wobbly midriff and he was unashamedly fond of a pie and pint. So how was it that he ended up seeing out his career in northern Greece with PAOK Thessaloniki aged 33? “They offered me twice as much money as I’d been earning for just one season in Greece.” Ah. He also wanted to carry on playing after being released by Coventry and had received very few offers in England despite having been prolific pretty much everywhere he played. His signing was seen as a coup in the Greek Super League. The club met him with garlands off the flight and hundreds of fans turned up to roar their approval as he stepped off the plane with eyes agog. That was as good as it got. Continue reading...

The International Conference “The Other Voice of the Desert: The palimpsest manuscripts of the Sinai Monastery, new technologies for reading, discovery of unknown texts, prospects for research” will take place from 27 to 29 November, at the Foreign Ministry’s “Giannos Kranidiotis” amphitheatre.The Holy Monastery of Sinai, in collaboration with the Early Manuscripts Electronic Library, and scientists of international standing – with the support of the Mount Sinai Foundation – implemented the five-year (2011-2016) programme for spectral imaging of the palimpsests. The programme’s aim is to achieve a better reading of these manuscripts, which often contain unknown texts from late antiquity and the early Byzantine world, as well as valuable data on the literature of the Greek and the other languages of the region. At the same time, they are valuable testimonials regarding the history of the Christian communities of the Middle East.Within the framework of the Conference, which is being held under the auspices of the President of the Hellenic Republic, Prokopis Pavlopoulos, all of the programme’s findings will be made public. Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Ioannis Amanatidis will give a welcome speech at the opening of the Conference, and he will hold a relevant press conference on 23 November, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1 Vas.
