1983–84 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
After two seasons in which, were not for bad mid-season form, strong run-ins may have yielded a promotion challenge, Brentford manager Fred Callaghan kept his squad together. Save for the retirement of key midfielder Stan Bowles, his replacement with Terry Bullivant was the only significant piece of transfer activity at Griffin Park during the 1983 off-season. Goalkeeper Trevor Swinburne arrived to provide competition for Paddy Roche and with forward Tony Mahoney still not fully fit after recovering from a broken leg, Bill Garner was brought in from non-league football on non-contract terms.


1983–84 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Brentford showed poor form between the beginning of the season and Christmas Eve 1983, winning just two and losing 10 of the opening 19 Third Division and sitting just above the foot of the table. In the midst of the barren run in the league, a two-legged tie with then-First Division champions Liverpool in the second round of the League Cup failed to produce much cheer, with the Bees suffering an 8–1 aggregate defeat. A reduction in size of Griffin Park in the intervening years meant that the 17,858 crowd which attended the first leg has not been bettered since.


1983–84 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Player/assistant manager Ron Harris was replaced with former Brentford manager Frank Blunstone in October 1983 and Harris later remarked that it had been an acrimonious parting. An ever-increasing list of injuries and suspensions led manager Fred Callaghan to make a number of signings during the final two months of 1983, including new captain Ian Bolton for £2,000 and previously on-loan defender Paul Roberts from Millwall for a £10,000 fee. Stan Bowles came out of retirement to assist the team on a non-contract basis.


1983–84 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
The signings had an effect, with the Bees going four matches undefeated in late December 1983 and early January 1984 to rise out of the relegation places. Defeats in the following two matches led chairman Martin Lange to act and sack manager Fred Callaghan on 2 February, though he paid tribute to Callaghan by stating that Callaghan could "leave the club proud in the knowledge that he leaves the club far better equipped than when he arrived".


1983–84 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Assistant Frank Blunstone took caretaker charge of the team for one match before the appointment of former Leicester City manager Frank McLintock on 9 February, who installed former Brentford player John Docherty as his assistant. McLintock took over a club in 21st position with 20 matches to play and conducted an overhaul of the playing staff, selling centre back Alan Whitehead and bringing in right back Bobby Fisher midfielder Tommy Finney from Cambridge United, plus Nigel Gray and Bill Roffey on loan. Attacker Bob Booker was recalled to the starting lineup, Ian Bolton and Tony Mahoney were dropped, Terry Bullivant and Graham Wilkins departed on loan and Stan Bowles retired for a second time.


1983–84 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
A slight upturn in form meant that Brentford went into their final match of the season versus Walsall perched atop the relegation zone in 20th place and needing a victory, but a 1–1 draw was all that could be mustered. Circumstances transpired that 21st-place Scunthorpe United's 1–1 draw on the same day meant that the Iron would need to win their final match of the season by seven goals, which effectively guaranteed the Bees' safety. Brentford's Third Division status was retained when Scunthorpe United lost their final match of the season on the following Tuesday night.


1983–84 British Home Championship
The 1983–84 British Home Championship was the 100th anniversary of the British Home Championship and the final football tournament between the Home Nations to be held, with both England and Scotland announcing their withdrawal from future competition, citing waning interest in the games, crowded international fixture lists and a sharp rise in hooliganism. Although the football competition was instituted in 1884, it was only the eighty-seventh tournament to be completed due to a five-year hiatus during World War I, a seven-year gap in World War II and the cancellation of the 1981 competition following threats of violence during The Troubles in Northern Ireland.


1983–84 British Home Championship
The tournament was surprising in its outcome, as the favourites in England and Scotland played each other into a 1–1 draw in the final game, thus allowing Northern Ireland to claim victory on goal difference, with Wales second. This was only the third time in 87 tournaments that (Northern) Ireland were undisputed champions, and the only time goal difference was used to determine a champion. The trophy was permanently awarded to the Irish FA.

1983–84 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
A break in the schedule in February was for the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia (now Bosnia). The debate over amateur and professional status of world-class skiers came to a head this year over the issue of the Olympic eligibility of the holders of FIS Class B licenses, which were approved in 1981 to permit skiers to accept sponsorship money directly instead of through their national ski federations or Olympic committees.


1983–84 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
After protests by some of the other top skiers (including twin brothers Phil and Steve Mahre), the International Ski Federation (FIS) ruled in the summer of 1983 that the two holders of such licenses, Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden and Hanni Wenzel of Liechtenstein, would be ineligible to compete in the Olympics unless they surrendered those licenses and transferred the money received under them to the appropriate national ski or Olympic committees.


1983–84 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
Although Wenzel was willing to transfer her money as requested, Stenmark, who had moved his tax residence to Monaco and had received an amount estimated at over $5 million in payments during those three years, was not, because repatriating the money to Sweden would subject him to millions of dollars in Swedish income tax. Despite the different reactions of the two, FIS decided to treat Stenmark and Wenzel identically and ban them both from Olympic competition in 1984, while permitting both to continue to compete in World Cup competitions.


1983–84 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
After the Olympics, Hanni Wenzel, who had won two overall World Cup titles and finished second or third overall six more times, retired, and several of the other top skiers, such as the Mahre twins and Norway's Jarle Halsnes, turned professional and left the World Cup circuit. The backlash over this series of events, combined with the increasing television revenues from the Olympic Games, led to the end of the ban on professional athletes in the Olympics before the end of the decade.


1983–84 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup
In another ruling regarding Olympic eligibility, FIS denied rising all-event skier Marc Girardelli, who was a citizen of Austria but who competed for Luxembourg on the World Cup circuit, the ability to compete in the Olympics for Austria, ruling that he could only compete for the country that he represented on the World Cup circuit. As a result, Girardelli was not able to compete in the Olympics until after his Luxembourg citizenship was granted in the mid-1980s.

During the two games of the Las Vegas Classic in late December 1983 – the second of which, on December 30, 1983, saw the first sell-out in the history of the new Thomas & Mack Center and was broadcast on national television by CBS – he scored a combined 45 points, shot 21-for-21 from the free-throw line, and was selected as the tournament's Most Valuable Player.

With Syracuse in the lead and Ewing sitting on the bench with four fouls, Georgetown freshman forward Michael Graham entered the game to contain Syracuse's Andre Hawkins, drawing national attention with his defensive effort. At one point, with Graham and Hawkins fighting for a rebound under the basket, Graham appeared to take a swing at Hawkins and an official immediately called a technical foul and ejected him from the game; after the officials conferred with one another, however, they changed the call to a personal foul, allowing Graham to stay in the game and incensing Syracuse fans.

With Michael Jackson scoring critical late-game free throws – part of a 20-point performance, including 8-for-8 from the free-throw line – Georgetown came back to tie the game and force overtime, during which the Hoyas pulled away to an 81-72 win and the Big East Tournament championship for the third time in the program's history, with Ewing averaging 23 points a game during the tournament. In the post-game press conference, Syracuse's head coach Jim Boeheim overturned a chair in anger and declared "The best team did not win tonight!"

Seeded No. 1 in the West Region of the 1984 NCAA Tournament – the sixth of 14 consecutive Georgetown NCAA Tournament appearances – the Hoyas received a first-round bye. They had a scare in the second round, narrowly missing being upset in a pre-shot-clock-era slowdown game against a Southern Methodist team led by center Jon Koncak. SMU led 24-16 at halftime. In the second half, Georgetown came back to lead 32-26 with eight minutes left, but SMU managed to tie the game at 34-34 with 2:46 to go.

With 51 seconds left, SMU fouled Gene Smith, who missed the first shot of a one-and-one, but Ewing tipped the ball in for a basket and a 36-34 lead. After SMU's Johnny Fuller missed a shot, SMU was forced to foul Michael Jackson to stop the clock, and Jackson scored on one of his two free throws to give Georgetown a 37-34 lead. No three-point shot yet existed in the tournament, so the Mustangs raced down the court and scored to narrow the lead to 37-36, but then time expired. After the game, fans and sportswriters noted that had Smith made his free throws, SMU could have tied the game to put it into overtime, and had Ewing not tipped in Smith's miss, the Mustangs could have won the game with their basket on the final play.

Georgetown continued to advance, reaching the Final Four for the third time in school history and second time in three years to face Kentucky, a team which had never lost a national semifinal game and was led by the "Twin Towers," Sam Bowie and Melvin Turpin. Bowie and Turpin managed to get Ewing into foul trouble early, and with him on the bench and Reggie Williams shooting only 1-for-7 (14.3%) from the field during the game, the Wildcats raced out to a 27-15 lead with 3:06 left in the first half.

After that however, the Hoyas made a defensive stand still unequalled in college basketball: Kentucky scored only two more points in the first half; the Wildcats also did not score in the first 9 minutes 55 seconds of the second half, missing their first 12 shots and after that shooting 3-for-21 (14.3%) during the remainder of the game. Overall, Kentucky shot 3-for-33 (9.1 percent) from the field during the second half.

Late in the game, with Georgetown enjoying a comfortable lead, Thompson began to pull starters out and give bench players some time on the court; the game's enduring image came when senior guard Fred Brown came out of the game. Two years earlier, Brown had mistakenly passed the ball to North Carolina's James Worthy in the last seconds of the 1982 championship game, ruining Georgetown's chances for a final game-winning shot and allowing North Carolina to take the national championship, and cameras had captured Thompson consoling a devastated Brown with a hug as the Tar Heels celebrated. As Brown left the 1984 championship game, cameras caught Brown and Thompson again embracing on the sideline, this time to celebrate a victory.
