William Harper

For William Harper, the obsessed Sunderland North Manager, it was the equivalent of chopping off his own dick and then getting fucked up his own arse with it.
...
Harper's been harping on about a re-match, which I'll happily entertain, but I don't think the strongest side will be out.Looks like another phone call to Holly and Alfie.Oxygen anyone?

26th July 2004

Alfie shows us that he hasn't lost it.

Haldane, despite his bluster, never had it.

When Alfie summoned up the strength to wiggle his arms to signal a sub, my heart sank.
...
Our normal pre-season game against William Harper's side was still on the calendar despite ourselves not entering any league next season.
...
Harper was genuinely superb as always.
...
Sassco Team: Dave Watson, Davinder Sangha, William Harper, Jason Amour,
...
For this game, Dixon, Galey and Harper were benched.
...
The likes of John Hunt and Billy Harper, although they probably don't have the pace compared to Muers and Wardle, can create goals and set their own players up - something we were lacking.
...
Harper, for all his sins, played really well.He was immobile as his pace from his small legs isn't really up to the high standards we expect of him.He combined well with his arch nemesis, the Hutt and was unlucky not to score, with a header cannoning off the post.
...
Harper then threw one of his famous wobblers and launched into a red faced, albino haired opposition player.He got a yellow card for it and his aggression was much welcome.Gash also had a blinder in centre mid.He got stuck in and gave 100% which all bodes well for the final on Wednesday.
...
Davinder told me that Billy Harper (Tash) would be turning up, not believing him I phoned Harper myself and he confirmed that he would definately be there on Saturday at the designated meeting point.Finally sorted.
...
Told others that we were waiting for Harper to show, there exact words were "He wont turn up", and sure enough it was 10:10am and still no sign.
...
So Ed Cook and Harper were drafted in ...
...
Harper also turned up, not to watch, but borrow a CD off me full of porn.He gave his usual moral support by slagging off Muers.But control yourself Mr Harper.

William Harper and Jon Wardle were in attack while Muers and Staples were on the flanks.
...
It was after this when Muer's picked out Harper with a pin point pass to tie the game at 1-1.
...

...
Harper was in attack and won every high ball but no one took advantage.
...
Two banks of four defending with Mr Harper up front winning all the headers and someone with the noose to get on the end of his flick ons.That is the only way we would have got anything out of the game.The back line was all over the place.Centre midfield was none existence.Wingers were playing up front, thus leaving the full backs totally exposed.Centre halves did not know what the other was doing.Billy Harper did amazing to win the amount of headers that he did, but no one capitalised on them.
...
An unlikely pairing of Harper and Leithes against SW Gardens wasn't expected to deliver.
...
However, Harper showed his experience and it was fairly obvious that he was perfectly suited to play in attack.Leithes and Harper combined to give Muers his opening goal in a strong first half.
...
Along with Kelsey and Harper there was no David Staples, William Harper and Barry Arnott.

...
The team which was to play in the League encounter also didn't have Keir or Harper neither, so it was a huge surprise when Inter went 2-0 ahead.
...
By this time, Harper had replaced Shaun Snowdon and left his mark on the game with some aggressive and sure tackling.
...
Intermittent appearances from Robason, Harper and Cook meant that Inter always struggled for a regular commanding centre half.
...
The team was, Watson, Sangha, Harper, Booth, Stubbs, Greenwell, Staples, Muers, Wardle, Dixon and Keir.
...
Late in the game, William Harper had to go off injured and this resulted in Wardle dropping into defence.
...
This was Inter's strongest line-up to date - with four available subs, including Harper and Sangha.
...
William Harper was marshalling the defence in place of Keith Mouat and Booth was playing a more forward role.
...
Only Sangha and Harper had played together in the back line, but even Sangha was a "dead man walking" as he was suffering a virus and only obliged to play himself as he was the Manager.
...
Keith was injured in the first half to be replaced by William Harper.
...
Four defenders were missing in Harper, Sangha, Pearson and McLaren, so Dixon had to go right-back(!) and Gourlay went left back.
...

...
With players missing such as Muers, Gourlay, Richardson and Harper, it's been decided to add a few new names to the squad before the friendly on Saturday against Sporting Club (Wearside Combination Team).
...
With no Sangha, Richardson, Harper or Dean Wardle in the team, Intermedia faced the prolific Champions, Select with a vastly weakened team and also on the back of two heavy defeats.
...
Steve Stubbs, David McLaren, William Harper, Keith Mouat, Michael Booth, Sean Hounslow, David Gourlay, Mark Muers, Jon Wardle* (captain), Wayne Greenwell, Chris Dixon (Davinder Sangha)
...
Will be compulsory from now on.
...
Craig Richardson, Keith Mouat and William Harper weren't there without informing the Management in advance.
...
The other goal arrived when William Harper decided to play the offside trap, despite Manager Davinder Sangha's instructions clearly not to play it.
...
Despite this, William Harper had a brilliant game.His fitness level leaves a bit to be desired, but his commitment and success in the air proved that he still has something to offer despite his advanced age.Keith Mouat alongside Harper also proved that no team with any tactical sense would play the high ball into the area.
...
William Harper decided that another half would be too much and was replaced by Michael Pearson.
...
Harper and Mouat were, as mentioned, tremendous in the first half but Michael Booth looked very nervous.
...
David Watson, Davinder Sangha, William Harper* (Michael Pearson), Keith Mouat, Michael Booth, Sean Hounslow, Chris Dixon, Craig Richardson, Mark Muers (David Gourlay), Jon Wardle (captain), Wayne Greenwell
...
William Harper is also vying for the left back slot but will most likely play centre half in Robason's absence.
...
The players present at the training were David Watson, Michael Booth, Craig Richardson and Davinder Sangha (Sassco.co.uk), Keith Mouat (Durham), , William Harper (CDS and Sassco.co.uk), Jon Wardle (Crown Electrics), Mark Muers (Lance Roberts), Chris Dixon and David McLaren (Tyne Port) and David Gourlay (Sex & Chocolate).
...
On one side was Watson, Sangha, Harper, Wardle, Muers and Gourlay while the other side contained Booth, Dixon, McLaren, Richardson, Mouat and also Anthony Mouat, who although isn't a signing did help out as goalkeeper.

Toddy's Player/Manager William Harper was unavailable, so Assistant and Goalkeeper Dave Arnott took over, he must have been appalled at his team lack of invention and ideas.It is clear, the transition from 11-a-side to 6-a-side is proving to be a lot more difficult than many of the Toddy's players imagined.William Harper must rapidly halt his teams decline and achieve something out of his next game.It will not be easy, his opponents are Team Coulson.
...
For once, influential Manager Billy Harper's tactics have to be questioned.
