1982 and 1983 seasons
In February 1982, <mask> committed to play football for Bo Schembechler's Michigan Wolverines football team.He came to Michigan with a "high school reputation as a slick California passer." As a true freshman in 1982, <mask>, at age 18, and junior Dave Hall were backups to quarterback Steve Smith, who had broken Michigan's single season record with 2,335 yards of total offense in 1981. In the 1982 season, Smith started all 12 games, and Hall handled the limited backup role. Even as Smith struggled, coach Schembechler expressed a reluctance to play <mask>, saying, "To suddenly pull some freshman out of the bag, I don't think you can do that in today's football." <mask> did not see any game action in 1982, registered no statistics, and retained four years of eligibility under the NCAA's redshirt rule. <mask> performed well in the annual spring game in April 1983, completing 10 of 15 passes for 116 yards. After the game, coach Schembechler noted, "<mask> is a fresh talent who'll be all right, but he has a lot to learn."While <mask> was touted as the team's "pass-oriented quarterback of the future," he spent the 1983 season as Michigan's No. 3 quarterback behind Steve Smith and Dave Hall. Smith started 11 games, and Hall started one game, while <mask> completed two of five passes for 40 yards in limited action. <mask> completed his first pass for Michigan on November 5, 1983, in a 42–10 victory over Purdue. 1984 season
In the spring of 1984, <mask> was in a three-way competition for Michigan's starting quarterback job. Three-year starter Steve Smith had graduated, and his backup, Dave Hall, was lost to a knee injury. The 1983 competition pitted <mask> against sophomores Chris Zurbrugg and Russ Rein.In April 1984, Schembechler said, "<mask> is coming along pretty well. He's having a pretty good spring. Zurbrugg has emerged as a good prospect. There's kind of a battle in there." In the 1984 spring game, <mask> impressed observers as he completed 17 of 26 passes for 161 yards and an interception. Schembechler said after the game, "We've been happy with <mask> all spring. He's shown a lot of maturity."After spring practice, Schembechler announced his depth chart with <mask> as his No. 1 quarterback. In his first collegiate start, <mask> led the Wolverines to a 22–14 upset victory over a Miami Hurricanes team that was led by Bernie Kosar, had won the 1983 national championship, and was ranked No. 1 in both the AP and UPI polls. <mask> completed 11 of 21 passes for 162 yards and two interceptions. The Detroit Free Press praised <mask> for "pinpoint passing" that "kept Miami's defense on the run." In his second start, the Wolverines (ranked No.3) lost to a Washington team that finished the season ranked No. 2 in both the AP and UPI polls. <mask> threw a career-high 37 passes in the game, completing 17 passes for 183 yards, three interceptions, and his first collegiate touchdown pass to Vince Bean. After the loss to Washington, <mask> led Michigan to victories over Wisconsin (20–14) and Indiana (14–6). <mask> completed 25 of 39 passes for 272 yards in those games. On October 6, 1984, a 19–7 loss to Michigan State in the fifth game of the season, <mask> sustained a badly broken left arm in the third quarter when he dove for a loose ball and collided with Spartan linebacker Thomas Tyree. <mask> had to be carried from the field on a stretcher and missed the remainder of the season.<mask> completed 60 of 111 passes for 718 yards, three touchdowns and five interceptions during his shortened 1984 season. 1985 season
By April 1985, <mask>'s arm had healed, and he completed 10 of 16 passes for 146 yards in the annual spring game. <mask> was the starting quarterback in all 12 games for the 1985 Michigan Wolverines football team that compiled a 10–1–1 record, outscored opponents 342–98, defeated Nebraska in the 1986 Fiesta Bowl, and finished the season ranked No. 2 in the final AP and UPI polls. On October 26, 1985, <mask> set a school record with 283 passing yards in a 42–15 victory over Indiana. After the game, <mask> was asked for his reaction to setting the school's passing record and responded, "Records are nice, but everything we do here is team oriented. Everyone's telling me about the record, but they should tell it to Paul Jokisch and Eric Kattus and John Kolesar.They caught the passes." On November 16, 1985, in a 48–7 victory over Minnesota, <mask> completed 13 of 18 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns. After the game, <mask> praised the offensive line, noting, "I've never had more time to throw in my life—junior high, high school." <mask>'s 13 completions against Minnesota gave him 123 for the season, breaking the school record of 118 set by Steve Smith in 1982. On November 23, 1985, <mask> led Michigan to a 27–17 victory over Ohio State. In the fourth quarter, <mask> completed a 77-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver John Kolesar, giving Michigan a 10-point lead with nine minutes remaining. Coach Schembechler said after the game that the 77-yard touchdown was "a play that took the starch right out of their sails."Columnist Mitch Albom wrote after the game that <mask>'s pass to Kolesar was an image that would last: "The image that repeats will be that of <mask> dropping back in the fourth quarter and uncorking a soaring spiral that rose high and long as flanker John Kolesar ran underneath it, his steps seemingly in sync with the revolutions of the ball, so [that] when it fell, it fell right into his arms, almost gently." <mask> completed 16 of 19 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns. In the final three games of the 1985 regular season, <mask> completed 41 of 50 passes for 706 yards, nine touchdowns, and no interceptions. For the season as a whole, he completed 145 of 227 passes for 1,976 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also led the nation with a 163.7 passing efficiency rating in 1985. 1986 season
In 1986, his final season at Michigan, <mask> started all 13 games at quarterback for the 1986 Michigan Wolverines football team that compiled an 11–2 record, lost to Arizona State in the 1987 Rose Bowl, and finished the season ranked No. 8 in the final AP Poll and No.7 in the final UPI Poll. In the first game of the season, <mask> led Michigan to a 24–23 victory over Notre Dame. <mask> completed 15 of 23 passes for 239 yards and a touchdown. In the fourth game of the season, he broke his own Michigan school record with 310 passing yards in Schembechler's 200th career victory, a 34–17 victory over Wisconsin. <mask> caused controversy when he guaranteed a victory over Ohio State in 1986. <mask>'s guarantee proved valid as the Wolverines defeated the Buckeyes, 26–24. <mask> completed 19 of 29 passes with two interceptions.For the season, <mask> completed 180 of 277 passes for 2,729 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.

Completing 20 of 30 passes, he threw for 225 yards and a touchdown.On December 31, 1995, in the AFC wild card game against San Diego, <mask> scored on a 3-yard quarterback sneak in the fourth quarter after a 32-yard interception return by Jason Belser and Indianapolis won 35–20. Indianapolis won the divisional round game on January 7, 1996 over the Kansas City Chiefs 10–7, despite only 112 passing yards (with 12 of 27 passes completed, 1 touchdown and 1 interception) from <mask>. In the AFC Championship Game on January 14, <mask> completed 21 of 33 passes for 267 yards and a touchdown and rushed 29 yards on 6 carries. But Aaron Bailey dropped <mask>'s last-second Hail Mary pass in the endzone, and the Pittsburgh Steelers won 20–16 and went on to Super Bowl XXX, which they lost to the Dallas Cowboys. For the season, he was voted to the Pro Bowl, was named Comeback Player of the Year and AFC Player of the Year. 1996 season
With new coach Lindy Infante, Indianapolis again finished 9–7 and made the playoffs in 1996 with <mask> as signal caller. <mask> played and started in 14 games with a 7–7 record; he completed 232 of 405 (57.3%) passes for 2,630 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, with 36 sacks for 190 yards lost and 192 rushing yards on 48 carries and a touchdown.Defending AFC Champion Pittsburgh Steelers defeated Indianapolis in the Wild Card round 42–14 as <mask> completed only 37.5% of his passes (12 of 32) for 134 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. 1997 season
Indianapolis fell to 3–13 in 1997. Despite passing for 2,060 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions in 12 games and 189-for-309 (61.2%) passing, <mask> had a 2–9 record as starter. <mask> was sacked 41 times for a career-high 256 yards lost. Baltimore Ravens (1998)
On February 14, 1998, the Indianapolis Colts traded <mask> to the Baltimore Ravens for third-round and fourth-round draft picks in the 1998 NFL Draft. With that trade, <mask> reunited with his former Colts coach Ted Marchibroda. During the 1998 season with Baltimore, <mask> played in 14 games and started 12, with a 5–7 record as starter in a 6–10 season for the Ravens.<mask> completed 164 of 293 (56.0%) passes for 1,839 yards, just his third season with fewer than 2,000 passing yards since 1989. He had 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in passing, was sacked 23 times for 145 yards, and rushed 172 yards on 40 carries. The Ravens opened a new stadium for 1998, Ravens Stadium at Camden Yards (renamed M&T Bank Stadium in 2003). Starting the game in Week 1 (September 6) and completing 4 of 7 passes for 33 yards, <mask> left during the second quarter after injuring a finger, and with backup Eric Zeier in for <mask>, Baltimore lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 20–13. Baltimore won its next game 24–10 over the New York Jets on September 13; Harbaugh started and made 5 of 10 passes for 36 yards but again left early and was replaced by Zeier due to injury. Coach Marchibroda again split quarterbacking duties in the following game on September 20, a 24–10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, with <mask> starting and Zeier taking over during the second quarter. With 4 of 9 passes completed for 59 yards, <mask> led a drive for a Matt Stover first quarter field goal.<mask> then sat out two games and played as Zeier's backup for Weeks 7 (October 18) and 8 (October 25). Those two games had poor performances: <mask> completed none of six passes and had one 3-yard rush in the Week 6 loss to Pittsburgh. Despite only 9 of 20 passes completed and two interceptions in the Week 7 28–10 loss to the Green Bay Packers, <mask> made his first passing touchdown as a Raven, a 46-yard pass to Jermaine Lewis in the fourth quarter. In the next game on Week 8 (November 1), <mask> improved in his first full game, with 27 of 34 passes completed over 243 yards for 3 touchdowns and 1 interception and 57 rushing yards in 10 carries. In Week 9 (November 8), with Baltimore winning 13–10 over the Oakland Raiders, <mask> got his first win in a full game started despite passing for only 102 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception. In the final two drives of the game, <mask> made crucial first-down conversion passes of a 28-yard pass to Jermaine Lewis and 10- and 11-yard passes to Michael Jackson. In Week 12 (November 29), a 38-31 win over the Indianapolis Colts, <mask> had his first interception-free full game, with 16-for-25 passing over 198 yards for 2 touchdowns.It was the Colts first trip back to Baltimore after the team left it for Indianapolis. In an emotional moment, <mask> presented Johnny Unitas with the game ball. Referee Ed Hochuli called a controversial unnecessary roughness penalty against Joe Bowden in Baltimore's 16–14 loss to the Tennessee Oilers for his hit on <mask> on a 2nd-and-24 play with Tennessee leading 14–13 after his 9-yard scramble towards the sideline, ruling that <mask> was in bounds when hit. On 3rd-and-15 in the next series, however, <mask> was sacked and Baltimore was forced to punt, so the penalty didn't hurt the Oilers. Harbaugh completed 15 of 28 passes for 214 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception and rushed 22 yards over 5 carries. After a three-game losing streak, <mask> won the final game of the season (and his final game with Baltimore) on December 27, 19–10 over the Detroit Lions with 17 of 26 passes completed for 141 yards and a touchdown.

That's what I've heard. I heard it inside the staff." Upon further questions, <mask> claimed he had heard it from staff at USC. The comment caused a rebuke from Carroll. (In fact, Carroll would be at USC for three more years.) At the Pacific-10 Conference media day on July 26, 2007, <mask> praised the Trojans, stating "There is no question in my mind that USC is the best team in the country and may be the best team in the history of college football."The declaration, especially in light of his earlier comment, garnered more media attention. Later in the season, Stanford defeated #1 USC 24–23 with a touchdown in the final minute.

 were expected to struggle in what was anticipated to be a rebuilding season, with a new scheme and many new players as well as shortened summer practices due to the lockout, <mask> led the team to a 13–3 record in the regular season, winning the NFC West division while finishing second overall in the NFC and bringing the team to the NFC Championship Game. This was the first time the 49ers had made the playoffs since 2002, generating widespread praise. On November 24, <mask> played his brother John and the Baltimore Ravens, losing the Thanksgiving showdown 16–6. John and <mask> are the first pair of brothers to serve as NFL head coaches in the same season. <mask>'s work in San Francisco had resulted in an extremely successful season, revitalizing the career of quarterback Alex Smith and with defensive coordinator Vic Fangio creating one of the leading defensive squads of the 2011 season. The 49ers' season ended with a 20–17 loss in overtime to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants in the NFC Championship Game.At the conclusion of the season, <mask> was named the AP NFL Coach of the Year. 2012 season

In the 2012 season, <mask> resolved a quarterback controversy by replacing incumbent starter Alex Smith with backup Colin Kaepernick. Smith was ranked third in the NFL in passer rating (104.1), led the league in completion percentage (70%), and had been 19–5–1 as a starter under <mask>, while Kaepernick was considered more dynamic with his scrambling ability and arm strength. Smith began 2012 with a 6–2 record as a starter before suffering a concussion in the following game. He missed the following game, and Kaepernick was 16 for 23 for 243 yards with two touchdowns in a 32–7 win over the Chicago Bears. <mask> was impressed with Kaepernick, and said "we have two quarterbacks that have a hot hand" while dismissing any rule that a player should not lose their starting job due to an injury. Smith was medically cleared to play the day before the next game, but <mask> chose not to rush him back and again started Kaepernick, who threw and ran for a touchdown in a 31–21 win over the New Orleans Saints.The following week, <mask> announced that Kaepernick would start for the 8–2–1 49ers, while also stating that the assignment was week-to-week and not necessarily permanent. However, Kaepernick remained the starter for the remainder of the season as the 49ers again qualified for the playoffs. <mask> led the team to an 11–4–1 record in the regular season, winning back to back NFC West titles. <mask>'s quarterback decision was on display in the first game of the playoffs. The 49ers won 45–31 over the Green Bay Packers, as Kaepernick had 444 yards of total offense (263 passing, 181 rushing) and four touchdowns. Kaepernick set the record for rushing yards by a quarterback in any NFL game with his 181-yard outburst against Green Bay. On January 20 in the NFC Championship Game, <mask> led the 49ers to a 28–24 win over the Atlanta Falcons, which sent the 49ers to Super Bowl XLVII, and on February 3, <mask> faced his older brother, John and the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl.It was the first time that the opposing teams' head coaches in the Super Bowl were brothers; the Ravens won the game with a score of 34–31 despite a third quarter comeback by the 49ers. 2013 season

In the 2013 season, <mask> led the 49ers to a 12–4 regular-season record and a third consecutive appearance in both the playoffs and NFC Championship Game, where they lost to the Seattle Seahawks 23–17, who went on to win Super Bowl XLVIII. In doing so, <mask> became the first NFL head coach to reach a conference championship game in each of his first three seasons. 2014 season

The 49ers had an 8–8 season in 2014, failing to reach the playoffs for the first time under the Harbaugh era. On October 5, it was rumored that Harbaugh would not return in 2015 regardless of that season's outcome, though owner Jed York denied the claims at the time. It has been suggested that <mask>, despite his success on the field, was involved in a power struggle with 49ers general manager Trent Baalke starting from the 2013 season onward. On December 28, 2014, the 49ers announced that they had mutually agreed to part ways with <mask> as their head coach.York claims <mask> and the 49ers agreed to mutually part ways immediately after a win over the Arizona Cardinals in the final week of the regular season. <mask>, however, later said: "I didn't leave the 49ers. I felt like the 49er hierarchy left me." He further added that the 49ers informed him that he would no longer be the 49ers coach after suffering a loss on December 14, but that he decided to remain as the team's head coach for the final two games of the season because "I wanted to finish what I started—what we started." <mask> left the 49ers as one of their most successful head coaches in just four years, as well as becoming the first successful NFL head coach to depart for a college team. New head coach <mask> was fired after just one season in which the 49ers finished 5–11. Until the 2019 season, in which the 49ers went 13–3 and advanced to Super Bowl LIV, the 49ers had losing seasons every year following <mask>'s departure.University of Michigan (2015–present)

In a game that went to two overtime periods, Ohio State finally defeated the Wolverines 30–27; Harbaugh said afterward he was "bitterly disappointed with the officiating", especially for a controversial 4th-and-1 call, and was reprimanded by the Big Ten with a $10,000 fine. Michigan finished the season in the Orange Bowl, where it lost 33–32 to #10 Florida State, after losing Heisman-finalist Jabrill Peppers before the game and losing two-time All-American Jake Butt early in the game.

title: Alfonso Noel Lovo

texts:
<mask> (born August 12, 1951 in León, Nicaragua) is a Nicaraguan composer and guitarist. As a child, only 5 years old, <mask>, saw a 48 bass  red HOHNER accordion in the window of Libreria Lehman, in San Jose, Costa Rica, while on Christmas shopping, and he asked his father, to buy it. They went inside, and the salesman showed him the notes of Silent Night. Another salesman suggested to sell a smaller size accordion for children, but <mask>, wanted the one in the window. A couple of days later, on Christmas Day, it mysteriously appeared under the Christmas tree. He surprised his parents, by  playing the notes of Silent Night, that the salesman had showed him, only two days before. Professor Julio Max Blanco, started trying to teach him music theory, back in his native Nicaragua, in January, 1957.Lovo learned to play songs before he could read the notes. And Professor Blanco said, "He can play by ear alone, I give up." <mask> started playing accordion at the Colegio Calazanz, grammar school, at church functions. He learned to play harmonica with Father Caudelli, with the Cub Scouts, an instrument he still plays, in blues style. At school he also sang at the Calasanz Choir, later at the Colegio Centroamerica, boarding school in Granada, Nicaragua, with the Jesuits, he self-taught Hammond B2 organ, and Piano, during long punishment hours in solitary confinement at the music room, since Lovo had become rebellious, and hard to manage. There he created his first Piano composition: 'In the Woods of the Moon', that is recorded in his first 'Terremoto' album later in New Orleans, at Knight Recording Studios. The accordion was left alone when he picked up the guitar, that he learned from his home gardener, and guitar player,  Adan 'Bienvenido' Jaime, then called the Nicaraguan Elvis, who showed him how to play Elvis Presley songs, Nicaraguan and Mexican rock ballads, popular in the early 1960s.He got his first guitar from his uncle 'Chalito', in his native town of Leon, and he learned songs from Enrique Guzman, and The Teen Tops, and from Polidecto Correa, and Los Polimusic, one of the first Nicaraguan Rock Bands. This band featured as drummer, Jose 'Chepito' Areas, future founding member of the Santana Band, famous for opening the Woodstock Rock Festival. <mask> met Chepito Areas playing in the Half Time of a high school basketball game, and it was to be a lifelong musical friendship. He started playing in a rock band, with Ricardo Palma, and Adan Torres, as co-founders of Los Rockets in 1963 and then co-founded Los Juniors, with Emilio Ortega, in 1965. Both  Palma and Ortega, were the top lead guitar players of the Nicaragua rock movement in the 1960s. He also played with Edmundo Guerrero, a local guitar master of the Bossa Nova Brazilian jazz style.

title: Steve Harper

<mask> (born 14 March 1975) is an English former professional footballer, and currently first team coach for Newcastle United and goalkeeping coach for the Northern Ireland national team. He is best known for his time playing at Newcastle, having amassed 157 league appearances over a twenty-year period between 1993 and 2013. Although he was not always the first choice goalkeeper at Newcastle, he was the longest-serving player in the club's history. Early life
<mask> was born in Seaham, County Durham. He grew up in the mining village of Easington, County Durham, and studied Sport at the East Durham College. He was interested in football from a young age and goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar was his idol. Anfield was the first football ground he went to, where he watched Liverpool win a match 2–0 in the 1982–83 season.<mask> attended Easington Comprehensive School. He was offered a place at Liverpool John Moores University. Career

Newcastle United
In 1993, he was signed by Newcastle United from his local club Seaham Red Star, for a nominal fee. Seen as back-up to first-choice goalkeeper Pavel Srníček after his arrival at Newcastle, and then Shaka Hislop and subsequently Shay Given; he had loan spells at Bradford City, Gateshead, Stockport County, Hartlepool United and Huddersfield Town before making his first-team debut as a half time substitute against Wimbledon in 1998. At this point <mask> achieved the rare feat of making an appearance in each of the top five divisions of the English game. <mask> came close to dislodging Given on numerous occasions, most notably in the 1998–99 season. <mask> played in the 1999 FA Cup Final, when Newcastle lost 2–0 to Manchester United.Then-manager Ruud Gullit appeared to see <mask> worthy of playing over Given. However, at the start of the 1999–2000 season, Gullit resigned and <mask> again became second choice goalkeeper, although he did enjoy another brief period of first team action for part of the season when Given was injured. When Given returned from injury, <mask> was once again used as the back-up goalkeeper. In 2002, he made several appearances in the UEFA Champions League, most notably against Juventus. The match was played at St James' Park and <mask> managed to keep a clean sheet during a 1–0 win over the Italian champions. The victory helped Newcastle qualify from the group stages of the tournament. <mask> has handed in a transfer request in his time with Newcastle, citing lack of regular first team football as his reason (something which Given also did when <mask> kept him out of the team under Gullit).He has been linked with moves to West Bromwich Albion, Celtic, Watford, Rangers, and Liverpool in his time with Newcastle, though none of these purported moves came to fruition. He again expressed his desire to achieve first team football in June 2006, an act which saw then manager Glenn Roeder attempt to persuade <mask> to remain with the club. This appeared to work as he signed a new contract to keep him at St. James' Park until June 2009. An injury to Given early in the 2006–07 season gave <mask> another chance to prove his worth in the first team. However, he did not have the best start to first team action, as Newcastle lost 2–0 to Liverpool on 20 September 2006, in what was <mask>'s first league start for 15 months. The second goal, a 65-yard lob from Xabi Alonso, saw <mask> slip whilst backpedaling to reach it, although he did still attempt to get up and stop it. Despite this setback <mask> gave some excellent performances in the season.One particular moment was his wonderful save against Manchester City in early November. <mask> also received another run in the first team after a third injury to Given later that season, the highlight of this would be keeping a clean sheet against Chelsea, a feat only matched by two other keepers that season. This was the first season <mask> played consecutive league matches since 2001. On 26 July 2007, <mask> came on as a substitute against Celtic in a friendly match and played as a striker – something which has continually come up throughout his career. <mask> continued as Newcastle's goalkeeper at the beginning of the 2007–08 season under the then new boss Sam Allardyce. With Given struggling with a groin injury and rookie Tim Krul on loan at Falkirk, <mask> was able to start the first six league games, keeping two clean sheets. However he lost his place again when Given was fit, though another injury to Given later in the season allowed <mask> to gain more first team appearances under the new boss, and the manager who first brought him to Newcastle, Kevin Keegan.After a series of good performances, <mask> was once again linked with a transfer away from Newcastle. Liverpool expressed an interest in signing him as backup to first-choice goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Keegan reacted to this by stating his intentions to keep <mask>, and acknowledging his record of conceding just once in seven and a half hours of play. <mask> signed a new contract in January 2009, keeping him at Newcastle until 2012, his nineteenth year at the club. During the transfer window of the same month, Given moved to Manchester City, elevating <mask>'s position within the club and so after nearly 16 years, <mask> was finally first-choice goalkeeper at 33 years old. <mask> repaid the management's faith in him by putting in some fine match performances including several world-class saves and was the best goalkeeper in the Championship, keeping a club record 21 clean sheets in 37 matches and conceding 35 goals at less than a goal a game. <mask> made his 50th consecutive league start for Newcastle on 6 March 2010, in the 6–1 win over Barnsley.This was his longest run of consecutive starts he had ever made in his entire career. On 23 March 2010, <mask> recorded his nineteenth clean sheet of the season after Newcastle beat Doncaster Rovers 1–0 at the Keepmoat Stadium, thus breaking the club's clean sheet record which had stood since Newcastle were last promoted in the 1992–93 season. Newcastle were eventually promoted, and went on to win the division title following a 2–0 away win at Plymouth Argyle. <mask> considers the title victory as the highest point of his career. On 18 September 2010, <mask> was injured in a challenge by Jermaine Beckford during the 1–0 win at Everton, needing to be substituted in the first half. On 22 September it was confirmed he would be out of action for at least three months. In late October 2010, Chris Hughton stated <mask> may be back in contention in as little as 3 weeks, after making a "very good recovery" and stated he would come back in "good shape".<mask> returned to training in December 2010, and made the bench in new  manager Alan Pardew's first game, beating Liverpool 3–1. Krul kept his place for the 2–0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur as well on 28 December, but <mask> returned as first choice keeper against Wigan Athletic away in a 1–0 win. <mask> maintained his place as goalkeeper throughout January and February. In the 2011–12 season, <mask> once again lost his place to Krul and often did not even make the bench. On 24 October 2011, <mask> joined Football League Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion on a one-month loan, making his debut the same day in a 1–0 defeat to West Ham United. In the summer before the 2012–13 season, Krul was given the number 1 shirt number, previously worn by <mask>. He moved to the number 37.On 23 August 2012, <mask> made his first appearance for Newcastle in 15 months away to Atromitos in the UEFA Europa League play-off match in a 1–1 draw. On 17 September 2012, in a match against Everton, <mask> sportingly told referee Mike Jones not to book Victor Anichebe for a late challenge on <mask> himself. On 22 March 2013, Newcastle announced that <mask> will be leaving at the end of the 2012–13 season, thus ending his 20 years service at the club. On 12 May 2013, <mask> was subbed on following Rob Elliot receiving a second yellow card against Queens Park Rangers. He played the final 10 minutes without conceding a goal, and Newcastle were assured safety from relegation. On 19 May 2013, <mask> played in his final game in a 1–0 defeat to Arsenal, in which he captained the team. <mask> retired from professional football after the expiration of his contract at Newcastle.Hull City
On 11 July 2013, it was revealed that newly promoted Premier League side Hull City are to offer <mask> a one-year contract, as back up for their new goalkeeper Allan McGregor. Hull had previously approached Newcastle to take <mask> on loan in January 2012 under then-manager Nick Barmby. <mask> underwent his medical on 15 July. On 15 July 2013, Hull City confirmed the signing of <mask> on a free transfer, signing a one-year deal. On 23 May 2014, <mask> signed a new one-year deal with Hull. On 11 September 2013, Newcastle honoured <mask> for his 20 years at the club with a Testimonial against an A.C. Milan XI. which included former Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio.Former Newcastle players involved included <mask>, along with Alan Shearer, Nolberto Solano, John Beresford, Darren Peacock, Nikos Dabizas, Lee Bowyer, Rob Lee, Ruel Fox, David Ginola, Peter Beardsley, Faustino Asprilla, Joey Barton, Shay Given and Andy Cole amongst others. Milan won the game 2–1 on penalties while £300,000 were raised for charity. At the start of the 2014–15 season, <mask> suffered a pulled calf in training, which kept him out of action for a while.

title: Ipe Ivandić

texts:
Goran "<mask>" <mask> (December 10, 1955 in Vareš, PR Bosnia-Herzegovina, FPR Yugoslavia – January 12, 1994 in Belgrade, Serbia, FR Yugoslavia) was a Bosnian rock drummer, famous for his work with the band Bijelo Dugme. Early life
<mask> was born to father Josip and mother Mirjana in the central Bosnian town of Vareš where his mining engineer father had been assigned for employment by the Yugoslav communist authorities as part of the country's central economic planning. Nicknamed <mask> from an early age, the youngster was raised with an older brother and younger sister Gordana. Move to Sarajevo
The family moved to Sarajevo in 1960 when Ivandić was four. While in elementary school, Ivandić simultaneously attended violin classes at a lower music school. However, soon after completing his final music school exam, he abruptly decided he "no longer wanted to bother with violin". He would soon turn his focus to percussions.In 1970, along with some friends, fourteen-year-old Ivandić founded a music section within the Boško Buha youth centre simply because it was willing to provide free instruments. They named their band Crossroads with Ivandić playing the drums. With the band taking up most of his free time, he started neglecting school and as a result flunked his sophomore year of high school and had to repeat it. He eventually switched to part-time secondary education. Career
In June 1972, Ivandić went on a three-month summer gig in Trpanj as part of a band called Moby Dick. After getting back to Sarajevo in fall 1972, the teenager began receiving offers from groups looking for a drummer and decided to join a band called Rok. Its bandleader, organist , would later, in 1974, establish the hard rock band Teška Industrija on the ashes of Rok.Jutro and Bijelo Dugme
Teenage Ivandić was still drumming in Rok when Jutro's twenty-three-year-old bandleader Goran Bregović became aware of him during late summer 1973. Seeking a replacement for Šento Borovčanin, Bregović immediately presented Ivandić with an offer of joining Jutro which the seventeen-year-old accepted. <mask> thus began the first of his three stints with what would soon become the most popular band in SFR Yugoslavia. Several months later, on New Year's Eve 1974, Jutro changed its name to Bijelo Dugme. After recording two hugely successful albums—1974's Kad bi' bio bijelo dugme and 1975's Šta bi dao da si na mom mjestu—as well as playing the accompanying tours, Ivandić received an early call up to serve the mandatory Yugoslav People's Army stint in October 1976. The call up came at the most inopportune time as the band was getting ready to start recording their third album, but Ivandić had to go nonetheless. Still twenty-years-of-age at the time, he was assigned to a unit stationed in capital city Belgrade.His replacement in the band was Bregović's old companion Milić Vukašinović. After being discharged early from the army due to getting pronounced "temporarily unable to serve", Ivandić rejoined the band during mid 1977. Mired in deep personality clashes amid a shambolic tour featuring less-than-expected attendance, poor musicianship due to lack of practice, equipment problems, and overall organizational issues, Bijelo Dugme somehow completed the tour before reconvening a month later in August 1977 for a triumphant free open-air concert at Hajdučka Česma in Belgrade before 70,000 spectators. Side project with Laza Ristovski, leaving Bijelo Dugme, and drug bust
In early 1978, with Bijelo Dugme on hiatus due to band leader Bregović being away in Niš and serving his own mandatory army stint, Ivandić and Bijelo Dugme keyboardist Laza Ristovski started working on a side project—album titled Stižemo with their act named Laza i Ipe. The material—composed by Ristovski, arranged by Ipe, with lyrics written by Ranko Boban—was recorded in London throughout February and March 1978 featuring <mask>, his sister Gordana Ivandić and Goran Kovačević on vocals, Leb i Sol leader Vlatko Stefanovski on guitar, Zlatko Hold on bass, and Ristovski on keyboards. However, the release date kept getting pushed back due to financing issues as they had problems convincing the Jugoton record label to cover their expenses. Simultaneously, during Bregović's temporary army leaves, the duo—backed up by Bijelo Dugme singer Željko Bebek—initiated multiple internal discussions as they wanted several business matters within the band to be handled differently going forward, specifically writing credits and subsequent revenue sharing.Dissatisfied with Bregović's flat rejection of their demands, Ivandić and Ristovski abandoned Bijelo Dugme altogether in late July 1978 in order to fully commit to their new project. Back on the Laza i Ipe front, the money issues with Jugoton were solved by taking the material over to ZKP RTLJ label while some of the money was obtained through Bijelo Dugme bandmate Zoran Redžić. The album Stižemo ended up being promoted very ambitiously with high quality press material. It was also the first time in Yugoslavia that an album's release was scheduled in advance with the date announced publicly—a widely used marketing practice at the time had been to release an album and then promote it once it's already in stores. Then on September 10, 1978, the day of the album release, while entering his apartment building in Sarajevo, coming back from a walk with his girlfriend, twenty-two-year-old Ivandić was arrested by a plain clothes policeman who said he is taking him in for questioning. Ivandić had been set to leave for Belgrade in a matter of hours where Laza was waiting so they can do promotional activities for the album. Instead, Ivandić got charged with a series of drug offenses along with other individuals.He thus began a long court battle and most of his musical activities got pushed to the back burner. He even sold his drum kit and went back to his university studies, passing a few exams at the University of Sarajevo's Faculty of Political Sciences where he had been enrolled in the journalism program. While awaiting sentencing, Ivandić was under a Yugoslavia-wide shadow ban on public performance that including restrictions on being credited publicly. Bijelo Dugme also publicly distanced themselves from Ivandić, recording their next two studio albums—1979's Bitanga i princeza and 1980's Doživjeti stotu—with Điđi Jankelić on drums. Since the SR Serbia constituent unit mostly didn't enforce his country-wide ban, <mask> began frequently performing there as a session drummer in order to help his finances. He participated in the recording sessions of the twenty-two-year-old Slađana Milošević's 1979 debut album Gorim od želje da ubijem noć in PGP-RTB's studios in Belgrade and furthermore appears in the title track video. Showing Ivandić in several frames of the video at this time was considered controversial in Yugoslavia and reportedly required young Milošević to personally intervene with the television executives.Eventually, <mask> got sentenced by the Sarajevo District Court three-judge council presided over by judge Husein Hubijer to 3 and a half years in prison for "possession of hashish and enabling others to use narcotics". Also sentenced by the council on the same charge were Goran Kovačević to year and a half, Ranko Boban to 1 year. Furthermore, Zlatko Hold got sentenced to six months for obstruction of justice. <mask> appealed the verdict, and his sentence was reduced to 3 years by the Supreme Court of SR Bosnia-Herzegovina. He began serving his punishment at the Zenica correctional facility in early 1981. On February 17, 1981, he got transferred to another prison, in Foča, before getting pardoned some year and a half later for Republic Day 1982 (November 29). Return to Dugme
After being released from prison, Ivandić reportedly immediately travelled to SR Slovenia, spending several weeks with a friend without contacting any of his old professional collaborators.By late December 1982, he got tracked down by Bijelo Dugme's manager Raka Marić and bandleader Bregović who extended an offer of rejoining the band. After initially turning them down, they persisted and several days later <mask> accepted thus beginning his third stint with the band that would last until 1989 when the band dissolved. During the mid-1980s he also recorded two albums, Kakav divan dan and Igre slobode, with his long-time girlfriend . After the albums' recording, Amila moved to London while <mask> stopped all side projects and devoted fully to Bijelo Dugme. It is unclear where he lived after the war started. Most say that he lived in Belgrade but in a 1994 interview for Croatian weekly Globus (conducted days after <mask>'s death), Željko Bebek states Ivandić lived in Vienna, at least at the time they last talked. Personal life
From his early days at Bijelo Dugme during the mid 1970s, Ivandić was in a relationship with Irhada Muhić (later Sulejmanpašić).In the early 1980s, he began a romantic involvement with  (later Welland) whom he also collaborated with musically. The relationship ended in 1988 when she moved to London. In 2018, Sulejmanović released her autobiography Ključ bubnja tama, significant portions of which centre around her musical career in Yugoslavia and relationship with <mask>. In 1988, <mask> began a relationship with Dragana Tešić. The two got married in 1990 following the premature end of Bijelo Dugme's 1989 tour that would eventually turn out to be the band's last activity. The couple's son Filip was born in Sarajevo in 1991. On January 12, 1994, <mask> fell from the 6th floor of Belgrade's Metropol Hotel and died.It is generally believed that it was a suicide, but Bebek in the same interview says he has trouble believing it based on his prior knowledge of <mask> and his habits.
