St Mirren F.C . St Mirren Football Club is a Scottish professional football club based in Paisley , Renfrewshire , that competes in the Scottish Premiership after winning the 2017–18 Scottish Championship . Founded in 1877 , the team has two nicknames , the Buddies and the Saints . St Mirren have won the Scottish Cup three times , in 1926 , 1959 and 1987 , and the Scottish League Cup in 2013 . The club has played in European competition four times : in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup in 1987–88 and the UEFA Cup in 1980–81 , 1983–84 and 1985–86 . The clubs home ground since 2009 is St Mirren Park , a 7,937 capacity all seater ground on Greenhill Road , Paisley . The clubs former ground from 1894 until 2009 was also officially named St Mirren Park , but was more commonly known as Love Street . History . St Mirren were formed as a gentlemens club which included , among other sports , cricket and rugby in the second half of the 19th century . The increasing popularity of football ensured that by 1877 the members had decided to play association football and 1877 is the football clubs official foundation date . They are named after Saint Mirin , the founder of a church at the site of Paisley Abbey and Patron Saint of Paisley . There is also a street in Paisley named St Mirren Street . The club originally wore scarlet and blue strips , but after one season changed to the current black and white striped shirts , which have been worn every season bar one in the 1900s , when cream tops were used . St Mirren played their first match on 6 October 1877 , defeating Johnstone Britannia 1–0 at Shortroods . Two years later , the club moved to another ground named Thistle Park at Greenhills . St Mirrens first Scottish Cup match came on 4 September 1880 , a 3–0 victory over Johnstone Athletic . The following year , the Buddies reached their first cup final but were beaten 3–1 by Thornliebank in the Renfrewshire Cup . In 1883 however the scores were reversed with the Saints winning the Renfrewshire Cup , 3–1 against Thornliebank . It was in 1883 that they moved to their third home , that of West March ( early maps indicate the area as West March rather than the commonly used Westmarch ) , defeating Queens Park in the first game there . In 1885 , St Mirren played their first match against Morton , resulting in a defeat . The 1890 season was a historic season for St Mirren , as they became founder members of the Scottish Football League along with fellow Paisley club Abercorn . Of the 11 founder clubs , only 5 survive in the current league system . It was during the match against Morton at Cappielow in this year that St Mirren played one of the first night games under light from oil lamps . St Mirren moved to Love Street in 1894 and reached their first Scottish Cup final in the 1907–08 season but were defeated 5–1 by Celtic . The Buddies went on to lift the trophy in 1926 , 1959 and 1987 . In 1922 , St Mirren were invited to play in the Barcelona Cup invitational tournament to celebrate the inauguration of Les Corts , the then home of Barcelona . They won the tournament by beating Notts County in the final . In the 1979–80 season , St Mirren achieved their equal highest-ever finish in the top-flight finishing third behind Aberdeen and Celtic . That season Saints also became the first and last Scottish club to win the Anglo-Scottish Cup , defeating Bristol City in a two-legged final . The following season , St Mirren competed in European competition for the first time and won their initial game 2–1 vs . IF Elfsborg in Sweden , followed by a 0–0 draw in the second leg . The next round saw them play French team Saint-Étienne . Although St Mirrens home leg ended up a 0–0 draw , Saint-Étienne pulled off a 2–0 victory in the second leg to put St Mirren out of the cup . The club have been relegated from the Scottish Premier League twice ( 2000–01 ) and ( 2014–15 ) and the Premier Division of the Scottish Football League once ( 1991–92 ) having escaped relegation from the latter in 1991 after league re-construction . In 2001 , St Mirren finished bottom of the Premier League despite losing only one of their final seven matches . The Saints however managed promotion after clinching the First Division title in 2005–06 , a season which also saw St Mirren win the Scottish Challenge Cup , defeating Hamilton Academical 2–1 in the final at Airdrie Uniteds ground , the Shyberry Excelsior Stadium , with goals from Simon Lappin and John Sutton . In 2010 , they reached the final of the Scottish League Cup where they were defeated 0–1 by Rangers despite having a two-man advantage . However , three days later , they recorded a famous win over Celtic , a match that The Buddies won 4–0 with doubles from Andy Dorman and Steven Thomson . In March 2013 , St Mirren won the Scottish League Cup beating Heart of Midlothian 3–2 at Hampden to win their first cup since 1987 . In the 2010s the club drew praise for their youth development , bringing through several players from their academy ( despite it not being listed among the elite group assessed by the SFA in 2017 ) including Stevie Mallan , Jack Baird , Kyle Magennis , Jason Naismith , Kyle McAllister , Sean Kelly and full Scotland internationals Kenny McLean , Lewis Morgan and John McGinn . Stadium . St Mirren played at four different venues before moving to their ground at St Mirren Park , or Love Street , in 1894 . The record attendance for the ground was 47,438 versus Celtic in 1949 . Love Street saw extensive redevelopment in the late 90s to comply with both the recommendations of the Taylor Report and SPL regulations and the ground eventually became a 10,866 seater venue . The ground had four stands of which the most recent , the West or Reid Kerr Family Stand , was built in 2000 in order for Love Street to meet the criteria for entry to the Scottish Premier League . The oldest stand was the main stand which had a basic wooden construction . The north bank was popular with the hardcore St Mirren fans while the largest stand , the steeply raked West Stand , housed a sporting facility underneath . It was rarely used to its full capacity . On 24 May 2005 , Renfrewshire Council granted permission for the club to develop their old ground . This involved the sale of the ground to a supermarket chain , and the construction of a ground in Ferguslie Park , Paisley ( through a separate planning permission ) . The sale of their old ground allowed the club to finance the new stadium as well as clear their debts . In April 2007 it was announced that a deal had been struck with supermarket giant Tesco and on 15 January 2009 St Mirren moved to a new 8,000 seat stadium , also called St Mirren Park . The opening game finished as a 1–1 draw with Kilmarnock , with Killies Kevin Kyle scoring the first goal , and Dennis Wyness equalising . St Mirrens first notable win at the new stadium came on 7 March 2009 in a 1–0 victory over Celtic in the Homecoming Scottish Cup Quarter Final . The stadium had a total seating capacity of 8,023 which was reduced in 2017 to 7,937 following the installation of a new disabled access platform . The stadium was known as The Simple Digital Arena after the club agreed a four-year , six-figure deal with Simple Digital Solutions on 13 June 2018 . It is currently known as The SMiSA Stadium . Colours and sponsors . The traditional home colours of St Mirren are black and white stripes , however for the first season the colours were scarlet and blue . There is some dispute as to why the colours black and white were chosen . A popular theory is that the stripes represent the Black and White Cart rivers which run through Paisley . In recent years there has been evidence unearthed that the Monks in the local abbey wore black and white striped habits . The team strips have varied very little in the long history of the club , however the thickness of the stripes have often varied . Some years have seen horizontal stripes used . Having first played in black and white vertical stripes in 1884 , Saints were the first club in the world to do so , six years before Notts County . Away tops are traditionally red or all black , but in some cases strips have varied from orange to light blue , as seen on the 2010–11 strip . From 2007–2011 , the Danish firm , Hummel International , replaced Xara as kit-manufacturers . St Mirren has had several main sponsors , mainly in the transport industry , with several local bus companies and car dealerships like Arriva and Phoenix Honda sponsoring in the club . St Mirren were sponsored by Braehead Shopping Centre , a local shopping centre four miles away in Renfrew from 2005–2017 . They are currently sponsored by Skyview Capital . In August 2010 , the club confirmed Barrhead company Compass Private Hire would have their name displayed on the back of the first team players shirts as well as on their shorts . Compass Private Hire were co-owned by former St Mirren player , captain and manager , Tony Fitzpatrick . Mascots . In recent years , St Mirren have been represented by three mascots , the Pandas . They are Paisley Panda , Junior P and Mrs Panda . The regular mascots are Paisley Panda and Junior P . Honours .

Who was the owner of Gnoll Country Park in late 1720s?
|
Gnoll Country Park The Gnoll Country Park ( or Gnoll Estate ) is a park in Wales . It is an early-18th-century landscaped garden covering over in the Vale of Neath , in Neath Port Talbot county borough in south Wales . History . The estate was the property of the Mackworth family during the 18th and 19th centuries . There are few traces remaining of the house , once considered one of the finest residences in the principality . Historically , the estate was part of the Norman-owned territory of Neath and Afan , which also comprised Neath Abbey and Neath Castle . The first recorded individual owner was Evan ap David during the 16th century . The last of Evans descendants to own it was Sir Herbert Evans , who died in the late 17th century . Sir Herberts daughter and sole surviving heir , Mary , married Humphrey Mackworth ( later Sir Humphrey ) in 1686 and on her death ten years later , Mackworth became owner of the estate . Mackworth extended the house ( sometimes known as Gnoll Castle ) , and developed various coal mining interests locally , as well as branching out into other industries . His eldest son , Herbert Mackworth , continued his industrial interests , and developed the Gnoll copper works . Sir Herbert Mackworth , 1st Baronet , Herberts son , increased the amount of coal mining carried out on the estate . Through the widow of Sir Herberts brother Robert Mackworth ( died 1795 ) , the estate passed to Capel Hanbury Leigh , Lord Lieutenant of Monmouthshire , and it was later bought by Henry Grant of Pembrokeshire and Wormley , Hertfordshire ( died 1831 ) Shortly before his son Henry John Grants death in 1861 , there was a plan in 1857 to use the castle as a university college and some staff including the gamekeeper moved to Wormley , but instead it was purchased by a cousin Charles Evan-Thomas of Llwynmadoc , who demolished the east wing and added other architectural features . He was the father of Admiral Hugh Evan-Thomas , who was born at the Gnoll . A year after Sir Hughs death , the Gnoll was bought by Neath corporation as a site for a war memorial . The castle was demolished in 1957 . Country park . The park features lakeside and woodland walks , restored formal cascades , a grotto , a coarse fishery , four ponds , a play area , an adventure playground and a visitor centre exploring the history and evolution of the estate . It has a shop , toilet facilities and a cafè . Entry to the park is free of charge , but there are parking charges . The remains of some of the estate buildings , such as an ice house , tower and fishpond house , are still visible . Hollow Tree . The Hollow Tree is located near to the visitor centre and the fishpond . It serves as the finish line for the three courses of the weekly Gnoll Parkrun . The tree , an oak , has been completely hollow since at least the 1950s and children have played inside it for generations . It is fitted with reinforcing bars and , despite its condition , continues to produce leaves and acorns each year . The tree was one of 216 nominations for the British Tree of the Year competition in 2017 and was selected by an expert panel to be one of six on the Welsh shortlist . It received 64% of votes in the subsequent public poll , winning the Welsh competition and receiving a £1000 tree care grant from the Peoples Postcode Lottery . The tree was not selected from the national winners for entry into the European Tree of the Year competition , losing out to the Gilwell Oak .

Which site was the heritage designation of Windsor Station (Montreal) between Sep 1977 and Dec 1983?
|
Windsor Station ( Montreal ) Windsor Station ( ) is a former railway station in Montreal , Quebec , Canada . It used to be the citys Canadian Pacific Railway ( CPR ) station , and served as the headquarters of CPR from 1889 to 1996 . It is bordered by Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal to the north , Peel Street to the east , Saint Antoine Street to the south and the Bell Centre to the west . Windsor Station was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1975 , and was designated a Heritage Railway Station in 1990 , and a provincial historic monument in 2009 . The walls are gray limestone from a quarry in Montreal . Outside , the columns reach up to wide . History . In 1887 , the Canadian Pacific Railway ( CPR ) began to build a railway station in Montreal , which would serve as its headquarters , three years after the completion of the Dalhousie Station in 1884 . The Windsor Station project was entrusted to New York City architect Bruce Price , who chose a Romanesque Revival style for the building . Price had to submit four versions of his plans to satisfy the treasurer of CPR , before the project was accepted . It was constructed at a cost of $300,000 CAD , and the first trains departed February 4 , 1889 . It was known as the Windsor Street Station , named for the street on which it was located , Windsor Street ( today Peel Street ) . It was expanded for the first time from 1900 to 1903 , and again from 1910 to 1913 by Canadian architects . The third expansion , in 1916 , included a fifteen-storey tower which dramatically altered Montreals skyline . The project was entrusted to the firm of brothers Edward and William Maxwell . Windsor Station formed an integral component of Dominion Square as a diffuser of passenger traffic and as a central terminus for other modes of transportation . The building skirted Windsor Street ( today Peel Street ) and Osborne Street ( today Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal ) between Donegani ( located halfway between Osborne Street and Saint Antoine Street ) . The building had four floors up to Osborne Street and five floors at street-level on Donegani Street because of the slope of the terrain . In July 1970 , CPR announced its plans to demolish Windsor Station and build a 60-storey office building on the site . The building , which was going to cost C$250 million , was to be designed by the same architects as New York Citys World Trade Center . After several delays the project was abandoned . Via Rail was created in 1978 and took over the responsibility for operating intercity passenger trains of both Canadian National CN and CPR . During Vias first months there was no operational change for CPR or CN trains , as they used their respective crews , routes , equipment and stations . However , by the summer of 1979 , the integration process began , and most of Vias former CP trains that used Windsor Station were consolidated at CNs Central Station , including CPs former transcontinental passenger services such as The Atlantic Limited and The Canadian , both of which were also renamed to be bilingually appropriate . Via Dayliners ( Budd Rail Diesel Cars ) operating between Windsor Station and St . Sacrement station in Quebec City via the CP route north of the St . Lawrence River continued to use Windsor Station until 1984 . Amtraks daily Montreal-New York City train ( the Adirondack ) continued to use Windsor Station until 1986 . Both the dayliners and the Adirondack were switched to Central Station . Local services to Ottawa via Montebello and to Mont-Laurier , both of which had been transferred from CPR to Via , continued to use Windsor Station until they were cancelled in 1981 . After intercity passenger service was removed , Windsor Station continued to be a commuter rail terminal for the STCUMs ( now the RTMs ) Montréal/Dorion-Rigaud suburban train ( now Vaudreuil-Hudson line ) . In 1999 , service to Blainville ( now Saint-Jérôme line ) was added , and in 2001 , service to Delson ( now Candiac line ) . In 1993 , construction began on the Molson Centre ( now Bell Centre ) , a hockey arena to replace the Montreal Forum . The arena site was located immediately west of Windsor Station on the trackage which served the station platforms , resulting in the historic station being severed from the rail network . The Molson Centre opened its doors on March 16 , 1996 , and the new Lucien-LAllier Station was opened at the western end of the arena structure to replace the now-closed suburban train terminal at Windsor Station . Until 2001 , the new train station was called Terminus Windsor , but this was changed to reduce confusion with the original station building and to indicate a link to the Lucien-LAllier metro ( subway ) station which is below the station building . It is still possible to walk through the Bell Centre to connect with Windsor Station and the Lucien LAllier metro station . Windsor Station , and now Lucien-LAllier Station ( known in French as Terminus Lucien-LAllier ) , are at the eastern end of CPRs Westmount Subdivision . It served as CPs downtown west end train terminus . Its counterpart downtown east end terminus was Place Viger . Windsor Station also housed the headquarters of CPR and its parent company Canadian Pacific Limited until after a corporate restructuring in the mid-1990s , the railway abandoned or sold most of its trackage east of Montreal , and it focused its activities in Western Canada . In 1996 , CP moved its headquarters to Gulf Canada Square in Calgary . Today . Since 1993 , the structure is no longer connected to the rail network . It was sold by CP to Cadillac Fairview in 2009 ( thus removing it from the jurisdiction of the Heritage Railway Stations Act ; consequently , it was classified as a provincial heritage site that same year ) . Also located in the station is the Canadian Railway Office of Arbitration . The rest of Windsor Station has been redeveloped into an office complex and houses some restaurants and cafés . The interior concourse , which is open to the public , can be rented for private and public events . The lower floor is part of the RÉSO and connects the Bonaventure metro station with the Lucien-LAllier commuter rail station as well as the Bell Centre . The 13 terminal tracks running into Windsor Station and the overhead canopy have been removed , and replaced by a public square .

Which site was the heritage designation of Windsor Station (Montreal) after Sep 2009?
|
Windsor Station ( Montreal ) Windsor Station ( ) is a former railway station in Montreal , Quebec , Canada . It used to be the citys Canadian Pacific Railway ( CPR ) station , and served as the headquarters of CPR from 1889 to 1996 . It is bordered by Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal to the north , Peel Street to the east , Saint Antoine Street to the south and the Bell Centre to the west . Windsor Station was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1975 , and was designated a Heritage Railway Station in 1990 , and a provincial historic monument in 2009 . The walls are gray limestone from a quarry in Montreal . Outside , the columns reach up to wide . History . In 1887 , the Canadian Pacific Railway ( CPR ) began to build a railway station in Montreal , which would serve as its headquarters , three years after the completion of the Dalhousie Station in 1884 . The Windsor Station project was entrusted to New York City architect Bruce Price , who chose a Romanesque Revival style for the building . Price had to submit four versions of his plans to satisfy the treasurer of CPR , before the project was accepted . It was constructed at a cost of $300,000 CAD , and the first trains departed February 4 , 1889 . It was known as the Windsor Street Station , named for the street on which it was located , Windsor Street ( today Peel Street ) . It was expanded for the first time from 1900 to 1903 , and again from 1910 to 1913 by Canadian architects . The third expansion , in 1916 , included a fifteen-storey tower which dramatically altered Montreals skyline . The project was entrusted to the firm of brothers Edward and William Maxwell . Windsor Station formed an integral component of Dominion Square as a diffuser of passenger traffic and as a central terminus for other modes of transportation . The building skirted Windsor Street ( today Peel Street ) and Osborne Street ( today Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal ) between Donegani ( located halfway between Osborne Street and Saint Antoine Street ) . The building had four floors up to Osborne Street and five floors at street-level on Donegani Street because of the slope of the terrain . In July 1970 , CPR announced its plans to demolish Windsor Station and build a 60-storey office building on the site . The building , which was going to cost C$250 million , was to be designed by the same architects as New York Citys World Trade Center . After several delays the project was abandoned . Via Rail was created in 1978 and took over the responsibility for operating intercity passenger trains of both Canadian National CN and CPR . During Vias first months there was no operational change for CPR or CN trains , as they used their respective crews , routes , equipment and stations . However , by the summer of 1979 , the integration process began , and most of Vias former CP trains that used Windsor Station were consolidated at CNs Central Station , including CPs former transcontinental passenger services such as The Atlantic Limited and The Canadian , both of which were also renamed to be bilingually appropriate . Via Dayliners ( Budd Rail Diesel Cars ) operating between Windsor Station and St . Sacrement station in Quebec City via the CP route north of the St . Lawrence River continued to use Windsor Station until 1984 . Amtraks daily Montreal-New York City train ( the Adirondack ) continued to use Windsor Station until 1986 . Both the dayliners and the Adirondack were switched to Central Station . Local services to Ottawa via Montebello and to Mont-Laurier , both of which had been transferred from CPR to Via , continued to use Windsor Station until they were cancelled in 1981 . After intercity passenger service was removed , Windsor Station continued to be a commuter rail terminal for the STCUMs ( now the RTMs ) Montréal/Dorion-Rigaud suburban train ( now Vaudreuil-Hudson line ) . In 1999 , service to Blainville ( now Saint-Jérôme line ) was added , and in 2001 , service to Delson ( now Candiac line ) . In 1993 , construction began on the Molson Centre ( now Bell Centre ) , a hockey arena to replace the Montreal Forum . The arena site was located immediately west of Windsor Station on the trackage which served the station platforms , resulting in the historic station being severed from the rail network . The Molson Centre opened its doors on March 16 , 1996 , and the new Lucien-LAllier Station was opened at the western end of the arena structure to replace the now-closed suburban train terminal at Windsor Station . Until 2001 , the new train station was called Terminus Windsor , but this was changed to reduce confusion with the original station building and to indicate a link to the Lucien-LAllier metro ( subway ) station which is below the station building . It is still possible to walk through the Bell Centre to connect with Windsor Station and the Lucien LAllier metro station . Windsor Station , and now Lucien-LAllier Station ( known in French as Terminus Lucien-LAllier ) , are at the eastern end of CPRs Westmount Subdivision . It served as CPs downtown west end train terminus . Its counterpart downtown east end terminus was Place Viger . Windsor Station also housed the headquarters of CPR and its parent company Canadian Pacific Limited until after a corporate restructuring in the mid-1990s , the railway abandoned or sold most of its trackage east of Montreal , and it focused its activities in Western Canada .

Which employer did Matthew Pratt Guterl work for before Dec 2007?

Matthew Pratt Guterl Matthew Pratt Guterl is Professor of Africana Studies and American Studies at Brown University . Prior to his arrival at Brown University , Guterl was the James Rudy Professor of American Studies and History at Indiana University and chair of the department of American Studies . He is the author of four books and the co-author of another , and has written for The Guardian , The New Republic , The Chronicle of Higher Education , and Inside Higher Education . Guterl appeared in the documentary Race : the Power of an Illusion . Background . Guterl graduated from Richard Stockton College in 1993 with a B.A . in Historical Studies , and in 1999 from Rutgers University with a Ph.D . in History . He has written extensively about growing up in New Jersey in the 1970s as a member of a large , multiracial , adoptive family . Prior to working at Indiana University , Guterl was an Assistant Professor of Comparative American Cultures at Washington State University . Writings . Describing himself as an historian of race and nation , and a scholar of African American , American , and World histories , Guterls work has shifted over time across subfields and specializations : his first book was on the Progressive Era North , while his second book was on the Civil War Era South , and his more recent work is focused on the post-World War II era . His work is also transnational in scope and topic , and he often draws on archives outside of the United States . Guterl is the author of several books , each taking up the common histories of race and nation and class . His first , The Color of Race in America , 1900-1940 , was published in 2001 , and won a Best Book award from the American Political Science Association . It was reviewed in the Los Angeles Times and the Economist , among other venues . That book is a narrative of the shifting racial classifications in New York City , as witnessed by the African American civil rights leader W.E.B . Du Bois , the Irish American nationalist Daniel Cohalan , the Nordic supremacist and armchair racial scientist Madison Grant , and the mixed-race novelist Jean Toomer . His second , American Mediterranean : Southern Slaveholders in the Age of Emancipation , was published in 2008 . It received honorable mention in the competition for the 2009 Gordon K . and Sybil Lewis Award , given by the Caribbean Studies Association . Therein , he traces the rise and fall of Southern slaveholding against a hemispheric backdrop , suggesting that the Old South was tightly connected to the Caribbean , the West Indies , and even South America , and that the Civil War fundamentally changed this relationship . A third book , Seeing Race in Modern America , was published in the Fall of 2013 by the University of North Carolina Press , and considers the history of racial sight over the past two hundred years . Framing the front and back of the book with a critique of racial profiling , Guterl suggests that the practice of seeing race is more commonplace than we think , and that unjust policing tactics share much with other , apparently benign racial sightlines , from narratives about multiracial adoption to platoon movies to silhouetting to debates about mixed-race children . His biography of the famous African American singer and performer , Josephine Baker , published in 2014 by Harvard University Press , focuses on her multiracial , transnational , adopted family in France and the historical contexts of decolonization , civil and human rights , liberalism and utopianism . Recently , he has described this book as a challenge , as well , to the notion of nation-time and conventional periodizations in American and world history . In the spring of 2015 , Guterl and his co-author , Caroline Field Levander , released Hotel Life , a book about the social and political work of hotels in contemporary American culture . Guterl is also the co-editor ( with James T . Campbell and Robert G . Lee ) of Race , Nation , and Empire in American History , published in 2007 . Guterl is also the editor of proposed Oxford Handbook on the History of Race . Awards . Guterl was the 2010 winner of the Mary Turpie Prize for Distinguished Teaching , Advising , and Program Development , from the American Studies Association . In that same year , he was given the Distinguished Alumni Award from the School of Arts and Humanities , Richard Stockton College of New Jersey . He has also been awarded fellowships from the Humanities Research Center , Rice University , the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America , Brown University , the National Museum of American History , Smithsonian Institution , the Gilder Lehrman Center , Yale University , and the Library Company of Philadelphia .

Who was the chief executive officer of C. & J. Clark between Nov 1871 and Dec 1875?
|
C . & ; J . Clark C . & J . Clark International Ltd , trading as Clarks , is a British international shoe manufacturer and retailer . It was founded in 1825 by Cyrus Clark in Street , Somerset , England – where it still has its headquarters . The company has 1,400 branded stores and franchises around the world and also sells through third-party distribution . Clarks also operated concessions in Mothercare stores . The company is commonly known for its Desert Boot , a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe rubber sole , usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) based on an unlined suede boot profile produced in the bazaars of Cairo and worn by British officers in the Second World War . For the year ending January 2013 , the company made a profit of £150 million on sales of £1,433m making it the 31st largest private company in the United Kingdom . More than half of its £1.4bn annualised sales to January were generated abroad , and since 2010 the company has moved into India , where it now has 25 stand-alone stores , and relaunched marketing in China , where it has opened 400 outlets in partnership with local footwear retailers . Clarks was 84% owned by the Clark family , with the remaining 16% held by employees and related institutions . In November 2020 , after a company voluntary arrangement , Clarks was rescued through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital , in which the Clarks family lost overall control of the company . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings agreed to acquire 51% of LionRock Capital , so has a substantial stake in the Clarks brand . History . 1825–1862 – Rugs , slippers and prizes . Origins of C . & J . Clark can be traced back to 1821 when Cyrus Clark ( 1801–1866 ) entered into a partnership with a Quaker cousin in the trade of fellmongering , wool-stapling and tanning in Street , Somerset . By 1825 , this partnership had been dissolved and Cyrus relocated to a site on the High Street in Street , utilising premises that belonged to his father-in-law to exploit his idea of making rugs out of sheepskins instead of pulling off the wool . C . & J . Clark recognise this as the beginning of their business and continue to occupy the site upon which Cyrus started to this very day . By 1828 , as the business had grown , Cyrus appointed his younger brother James ( 1811–1906 ) as an apprentice . Educated away from Street , James was meant to be apprentice to a chemist in Bath , but successfully pleaded with his parents to let him stay in Street and help Cyrus . In 1828–1829 , whilst serving this apprenticeship , James began utilising the offcuts that were too short for making rugs to produce slippers ( known as Brown Petersburgs ) . The slippers were made using outworkers who collected materials from the factory , assembled footwear in workshops at home and returned the finished product for payment . This trade rapidly evolved , providing James with a legitimate claim to an equal partnership in the business when his apprenticeship was served in 1833 . Thereafter , it traded as C . & J . Clark . The brothers developed national and international trade ( Ireland in the 1820s , Canada by the 1830s , Australia in the 1850s ) and were notably innovative , winning the gold medal at the Great Exhibition in 1851 for their gutta percha elongated galosh . 1863–1903 – Riding the storm . A couple of bad years that combined volatile market conditions , a certain lack of financial rigour and questionable planning brought the business to the brink of bankruptcy in 1863 . The local Quaker community stepped in and part of the bailout deal was the nomination of James eldest son , William Stephens Clark ( 1839–1925 ) to the helm of C . & J . Clark . William Clark put in place an accelerated repayment plan that saw indebtedness drop considerably to 1873 when he became a partner in the business with his father James . For the first time in Britain , William mechanised the shoemaking process and went on to establish C . & J . Clark both as a pioneer of new technology and as a champion of footwear innovation . James withdrew from the partnership in 1889 , to be replaced by his son Francis , Williams younger brother . In line with the familys Quaker values , the capital was also extended beyond the factory to benefit social initiatives in Street : a school was founded so that young men and women could combine working in the factory with continuing their education , a theatre was opened , a library was built , along with an open-air swimming pool and town hall . Playing fields were established for the benefit of all and low-cost housing was provided by the company for its employees . 1904–1945 – Style , technology and foot measuring . In 1903 the partnership arrangement was discontinued in favour of a private limited company . This enabled the succession to the third generation of family members as children of William Stephens Clark became life directors alongside Francis and himself . Tasked with specific responsibilities , Alice Clark , John Bright Clark and Roger Clark developed distinct roles . Brothers John Bright and Roger Clark studied American making processes and techniques with a view to appointing a suitable candidate experienced in the American factory system that they might bring to Street . John Walter Bostock from Lynn , Massachusetts was recruited in 1904 . The implementation was a resounding success and Bostock was made a director of the company in 1928 . A London Office , opened in the West End in 1908 , supplemented the shoemaking knowledge with style information . A reputation for high-quality goods available in the latest fashions , was established in the early 1910s , and remained until the Second World War . A premium quality Tor range was produced on the principles of standard lines , followed by a range of affordable fashionable footwear called Wessex . The company had its first national press advertisement in 1934 and entered formally into retailing in 1937 through the acquisition of Abbotts chain of shops based around London and the provinces . Peter Lord was created by Hugh Bryan Clark as a retail brand to avoid alarming agents or alerting competitors to the companys activities . It steadily evolved into a national network of stores . Growing awareness that bad feet were the product of ill-fitting shoes determined Bostock to devise a new shoe fitting system based on the detailed analysis of thousands of foot measurements taken from local school children . In line with the findings the company launched its new childrens ranges in 1945 with a choice of four width fittings , simultaneously with the new Clarks foot gauge that acted as a scientific measuring instrument to aid the shop assistant . 1946–1995 – Growth and challenges . Expansion of the business post-war was largely initiated by fourth-generation family members : Bancroft Clark , appointed Managing Director and Chairman in 1942 and his cousins , Anthony Clark and Peter Clothier , accountable for Sales/Marketing and Manufacturing respectively . The start-up or acquisition of additional manufacturing facilities ( peaking at 17 domestic factories ) across the South West and South East of England and South Wales meant that the companys volume market share in the UK increased from 1.1 per cent in 1945 to 9 per cent by 1970 . Foreign manufacturing was also sought through agreements with existing domestic manufacturers : Ireland in the 1930s with Australia , Canada and South Africa added in the 1940s and 1950s . Nathan Clark ( younger brother of Bancroft ) negotiated a number of these agreements in his capacity as Overseas Manager until 1952 . Bancroft retired in 1967 . His son , Daniel Clark succeeded Peter Clothier as Managing Director in 1973 , with Anthony Clark remaining as Chairman . He retired in 1974 , when his son , Lance Clark , was appointed Managing Director of the manufacturing and wholesaling division . In 1974 Clarks bought the fashionable Ravel , Pinet and Mondaine . The company acquired K Shoes , based in Kendal , Cumbria to salvage it from a hostile takeover . The closure of factories started in 1978 , and continued throughout the 1980s . Daniel Clark resigned in 1986 replaced by John Clothier ( son of Peter ) who remained CEO throughout the turbulent buy-out negotiations with Berisford International Plc , a properties commodities group that attempted to take the troubled company public . While the proposal was defeated by shareholders at the EGM convened on 7 May 1993 it was also decided to move away from direct family management to professional managers , who would rationalise the business , and would be more comfortable with making the changes needed for its recovery . 1996–present : Worldwide growth and a global brand . The appointment of Tim Parker as CEO in 1996 was made on the initiation of the newly elected Chairman , Roger Pedder . Clarks format was radically changed with the Act Your Shoe Size Not Your Age Campaign in 1997 , which contributed to a freshening of the brand . Completion of the transition from manufacturing to a wholesaling and branded retailing business was conducted by Parkers successor , Peter Bolliger , who became CEO in 2002 . Closure of the companys remaining manufacturing interests meant that the last Clarks UK factory ceased production in 2005 followed by the last K factory in 2006 . Production was relocated off-shore , using third party factories , predominantly located in Asia . Transformation of retail and investment to modernise company infrastructure and systems was also completed . Street consequently remains the epicentre for company operations , a distribution facility having been constructed in the village in 2005 with the capacity to process 1 million pairs of shoes per week . Former CEO , Melissa Potter , who was appointed in 2010 , re-organized the business in four regions Americas , Asia Pacific , Europe and United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland ( from February 2013 ) , the re-launch in China , the move into India , the launch of the online business and the increased focus on building a global brand . Melissa Potter stepped down as CEO in September 2015 . Non-executive chairman Thomas O’Neill lead the business until 2017 when Mike Shearwood was appointed as the new CEO . Then following Shearwoods resignation in June 2018 , Stella David was announced as In-term CEO . In February 2019 Giorgio Presca was announced as the new CEO , Stella David returned to her role on the board . In May 2018 , the company announced that it would build a new production plant next to its headquarters in Street , Somerset . The £3 million factory would see the latest in robot technology and create 80 jobs and produce over 300,000 pairs of Desert Shoes per year . In November 2020 , Clarks announced a rescue plan through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital after a company voluntary arrangement ( CVA ) , a form of insolvency , in which the Clarks family will lose overall control of the company . The CVA requires the agreement of landlords , who would receive a percentage of turnover as rent , and creditors . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings has agreed to acquire 51 per cent of LionRock Capital Partners QiLe Limited , the private equity firm which will own the Clarks brand , for £51 million . The majority owner of Viva China Holdings is entrepreneur Li Ning , a former Olympic gold medal winner for China . This resulted in Victor Herrero , a Spanish executive and former CEO of Guess , being named as the new Clarks CEO in March of 2021 . Prior to his appointment as CEO , he served as a board member to Clarks since April 2019 . Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) . The history of C&J Clarks representation in America dates back to 1950 and the formation of Clarks of England Inc . Initiated by Bronson Davis , a car salesman , who had seen the Desert Boot at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . Davis established a sales organization covering 150 accounts with outlets that stocked Clarks products , predominantly Desert Boots . He also sponsored advertisements for Clarks shoes in The New Yorker and Esquire magazines . Davis established relations with some of Americas most prestigious retailers ; Abercrombie & Fitch , Neiman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue . The coverage for the Desert Boot was consolidated by advertising that targeted the campus trade of Berkeley , Cornell , Harvard , North Carolina and Yale Universities through ads in Esquire and college magazines . A young salesman named Robert ( Bob ) Cullerton followed Bronson Davis at the lead in America . Appointed President in April 1961 , he inherited a business focussed on the provision of mens casuals and the Desert Boot . He appointed designer Nancy Knox to create a new range advertised via Playboy and Gentlemens Quarterly . In parallel with American developments , C&J Clark Ltd . acquired the Blachford Shoe Manufacturing Co . Ltd . of Toronto in 1952 , establishing a foothold in Canada led by Hugh Woods and Harold Hughes . Similarities between the businesses in Canada and North America meant Cullerton , Woods and Hughes quickly collaborated . They developed a clear vision of what womens sandals and shoes were required to supplement the demand for mens casual offerings . An Italian resourcing programme was started by Woods in 1960 to get more style and variety into the ranges . Offices were opened in the Empire State Building , New York in April 1964 . Sales were also buoyed by the introduction of the Wallabee in the late 1960s and expansion towards the West Coast . Wholesaling interests were complemented with retail from the late 1970s through the acquisition of Hanover Shoes Inc . who owned 220 retail shops . At the same time C&J Clark decided to bring together its North American interests under one corporation to operate Hanover , Clarks of England and Clarks Canada . The business grew further in 1979 through the acquisition of Bostonian , a well-respected mens dress shoe brand , adding 25 more shop locations as well as entry into 70 leased stores and discounting outlets . Responsibility for Clarks Canada and Clarks of England was transferred to the C&J Clarks HQ in Street in 1986 . Clarks of England and Clarks Canada officially merged in 1987 to provide more operational efficiencies and more consistency of product offering for North America . Bob Infantino became CEO of the North American operations in 1992 , taking a key role in consolidating the manufacturing , retailing , and wholesaling activities in America into one company : Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) from 1995 . By 1998 , CCNA became principally a wholesaling business , serving 170 owned retail locations and 3,600 third party wholesale accounts , representing 14,200 retail outlets . Sales increased by 57 per cent from 1995 to 2001 , profits rose five-fold . Infantino left the company in 2010 , replaced by Jim Salzano who was at the helm of the North American business until 2013 , when CCNA officially became the Americas Region , one of the four regions resulting as part of the re-organization initiated by Melissa Potter . Since March 2016 Gary Champion has led the Americas Region as president , also serving on the Global Leadership Team . Products . School shoes . In the United Kingdom , Clarks has long been a popular choice of parents as a place to purchase school shoes for children to wear upon returning to school following the summer holidays . The Independent UK newspaper ranked Clarks as the number one provider of school shoes in the United Kingdom in 2017 , highlighting that it has been providing quality shoes for over 170 years and highlighting the fact that Clarks is one of only a few manufacturers of school shoes to be provided in half sizes . Part of the reason , despite being long-lasting and durable , parents have opted for Clarks school shoes for their children is that almost every Clarks design of school shoes has been classed as acceptable shoes in line with most primary and secondary school uniform policies . In recent years , notably in mid–2010s , schools have reviewed their uniform policies and have instead identified a few of Clarks designs for school shoes as being unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy of the school . In 2016 , nationwide attention was gathered after 12-year-old Alfie Ingerfeild from Bristol was sent home from school at the beginning of the new school term in September after wearing a pair of Harlem Spin shoes from Clarks Bootleg school shoe range . The school , Mangotsfield School , claimed that the Harlem Spin design was too much like trainers and therefore classed them as unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy , so much so to the extent that the Deputy Head Teacher of Mangotsfield School said that should the shoes be worn the following school then the pupil would be asked to remove them and forced to wear shoes from lost property . This is despite the fact that the Harlem Spin shoes were advertised by Clarks as being school shoes – Clarks did not give a statement in regards to the incident and questions over the design of the Harlem Spin shoes . In 2017 , a particular style of Mary Jane shoes called Dolly Babe was compared unfavourably to Clarks own Leader school shoe for boys , with parents and ministers both accusing the company of sexism and gender stereotypes – the Mary Janes in question being viewed as flimsy and stereotypically feminine with a heart-print insole and a heart-shaped charm on the toe box while the boys shoe was seen as sturdier . The company soon apologised over the matter and withdrew the shoe from sale . Clarks also issued a statement saying it would commit to designing gender-neutral footwear following customer feedback . In March 2018 , two pupils from Kearsley Academy were sent home from school due to their school shoes , both purchased from Clarks , for looking too much like trainers . The shoes in question were both purchased from Clarks Bootleg range , a designated brand of school shoes from Clarks marketed for older children and teenagers . Joyance sandal . During the 20th century , Clarks established a reputation for quality childrens footwear . The crepe rubber soled Joyance T-bar sandal for both boys and girls was one of their most popular designs . Launched in 1933 , it continued in production until 1972 . Desert Boot . The companys best-known product is the Desert Boot – a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe sole usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) . Nathan Clark was an officer in the Royal Army Service Corps posted to Burma in 1941 with orders to help establish a supply route from Rangoon to the Chinese forces at Chongqing whilst also launching a series of offensives throughout South East Asia . Before leaving home his brother Bancroft had given him the mission to gather any information on footwear that might be of use to the company whilst he was travelling the world . The Desert Boot was the result of this mission . His discovery of the Desert Boot was made either at Staff College in 1944 or on leave in Kashmir where three divisions of the old Eighth Army ( transferred to the Far East from North Africa ) were wearing ankle-high suede boots manufactured in the bazaars of Cairo . Nathan sent sketches and rough patterns back to Bancroft , but no trials were made until after he returned to Street and cut the patterns himself . The Desert Boot was cut on the mens Guernsey Sandal last and sampled in a neutral beige-grey 2mm chrome bend split suede . The companys Stock Committee reacted badly to the sample and dismissed the idea as it would never sell . It was only in his capacity as Overseas Development Manager that Nathan had any success with the shoe after introducing it to Oskar Schoefler ( Fashion Editor , Esquire Magazine ) at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . He gave them substantial editorial credits with colour photographs in Esquire in early 1950 . Bronson Davies subsequently saw these articles and applied to represent the company in selling them across the US , long before they were available in the UK . The Desert Boot was initially sold in Britain through shops in Regent Street , featuring a Union Jack sewn into the label , targeted at tourists . Lance Clark is widely credited with popularising them in Europe during the 1960s . The Desert Boot have been manufactured at Shepton Mallet , small scale production having initially occurred at Street . During the course of time , Whitecross factory in Weston-Super-Mare was subcontracted to relieve Shepton factory of the manufacture of the Desert Boot , before the Bushacre factory at Locking Road , Weston-Super-Mare was constructed in 1958 . The Desert Boot was manufactured there until the closure of the factory in 2001 . Clarks announced in July 2017 , it was restarting manufacturing Desert Boots , using a new manufacturing unit featuring robot-assisted technology , at its headquarters in Street , Somerset . Up to 300,000 pairs a year of desert boots were to be made at the unit , creating up to eighty technical and managerial jobs . However , in January 2019 the company announced that this unit was to be closed , after failing to meet production targets . Wallabee . Produced by Clarks from 1967 and based on a moccasin called the Grashopper , launched in 1964 , by the German company Sioux , the Wallabee brand was manufactured at the Padmore and Barnes factory based in Kilkenny , Ireland , which Clarks had acquired in 1963 and continued to operate until its closure in 1987 , when it was the subject of a management buy-out . Managed by Lance Clark who was responsible for having negotiated the licence to produce the shoes in Kilkenny and arranged for the factory staff to be trained in the production of moccasin shoes , the product took off once the decision was taken to market it in North America in 1968 . As General Manager of the factory , Paddy Roberts took the shoe to a trade fair in New York in the same year , whereupon he quickly learnt that the trademark Grasshopper had been licensed . In conjunction with Jack Rose-Smith ( Clarks Overseas Shoes Export Manager ) , Bob Cullerton ( the President for Clarks in America/Clarks of England ) , Hugh Woods ( Managing Director of Clarks Canada ) , Roberts trademarked the name Wallabee . Desert Trek . Another style associated with the Lance Clark who had seen a Zwartjes version of the shoe on the feet of artist , Sonja Landweer in the late 1960s . An artist in residence at the Kilkenny Design Workshops , where she had come into contact with Lance Clark , Landweers shoes became the basis for production of the Trek which was first attempted at Clarks factory in Dundalk . This was more attuned to the construction of stitch-down footwear . The shoe was initially launched in North America in 1971 as Trek , before featuring in the UK range in 1972 where it was renamed Hike , owing to an existing footwear trademark . The Trek man that first featured on the shoe was drafted by Lance Clark and refined by the advertising manager in Dundalk , Bob Patten . Popular culture . Some Clarks styles ( particularly the Desert Boot , Wallabee & Desert Trek ) were widely adopted as cultural icons by different subcultures and featured in songs as well as popular films and TV series . Jamaica . The most referenced is the popularity of the Clarks shoes in Jamaica and the association with the Jamaican rude boys movement . According to DJ , producer and cultural historian Al Fingers in his book , Clarks in Jamaica , this trend started in the late 1960s when the emerging youth culture of the recently independent Jamaica adopted the Clarks shoes as part of their uniform . The original gangster rude boy dem , a Clarks dem wear , producer Jah Thomas tells Fingers in the book . And in Jamaica a rude boy him nah wear cheap ting . Writes Fingers , In the early 70s , the rude boy/desert boot association became so strong that young males risked a beating by police simply for wearing a pair . You must be a thief , the police would say . How else would you afford such expensive Clarks ? He tells the story of an infamous Kingston police officer called Joe Williams , who carried out a raid on a dance being run by producer and label boss Sir Coxsone Dodd . The DJ Dennis Alcapone recalls the arrival of Superintendent Williams : He tell the DJ to turn the sound down , and he say : All whos wearing Clarks booty , stand on that side of the dance . And whos not wearing Clarks booty stand on this side . Because he knows that rude boys wear them , so that is a way of identifying them . Reggae and dancehall stars Dillinger , Trinity , Ranking Joe , Scorcher , Little John , Super Cat and countless others had sung about Clarks in the past . Some of the most famous songs written about the Clarks shoes in Jamaica are Little Johns Clarks Booty and Vybz Kartels Clarks ( over 2.6 million hits on YouTube ) . Mods . While the Clarks Desert Boots became fashionable in the Beatnik Culture in the US , they became popular with youth in the UK after being adopted by Sixties Mods who wore them as part of both smart and casual clothing outfits . While the shoes are appropriate for a unisex look , they were particularly popular with male mods who wore them with military parkas , tailor-made suits with narrow lapels ( sometimes made of mohair ) , thin ties , button-down collar shirts , and wool or cashmere jumpers . Paris riots . The joint influences of the Beatniks and Mods made the Clarks Desert Boots ( Les Clarks ) popular among the Parisian students who wore them during the 1968 riots . The Clarks Desert Boots carried on through to the Mod Revival era of the Seventies and Eighties becoming a true Retro Mod Classic . They famously featured quite heavily in the 1979 Quadrophenia , Franc Roddams film adaptation of the Whos rock opera influencing in turn the Britpop movement of the 1990s . Rappers . The Clarks Wallabees in particular were adopted in recent times by the American rapper community . Their appeal can be traced to a wave of Jamaican immigrants who came to New York in the 1970s and paired Clarks shoes with suits . African-Americans saw it as an alternative to sneakers and jeans and incorporated it into their look , said Slick Rick , a rapper , whose parents were born in Jamaica and later moved to the Bronx . Its a way to be casual but not look like a scrub . The ladies like that . The shoe was long a staple of fashionable West Indians in New York City but towards the 1990s had fallen out of favor in hip-hop circles who tended to gravitate toward Timberland boots or sneakers . The rebirth of the Clarks Wallabees as a cool staple from mid-late 1990s is linked with New York-based hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan . Wu members ( RZA , GZA , Method Man , Raekwon , Ghostface Killah , Inspectah Deck , U-God , Masta Killa , and the late Ol Dirty Bastard ) and in particular Raekwon and Ghostface Killah wore Wallabees because not only they found them aesthetically pleasing but also since no other rapper was wearing them , they showed that they werent victims of the trends . They even featured the name of the shoe in the lyrics of several songs , engendering a revival of the Wallabees as a hip-hop staple by the mid-late 1990s . This justified Ghostface Killah to call himself Wally Champ and feature custom-dyed Wallabee shoes on the cover of his 1996 Ironman album . His 2008 compilation album was also called The Wallabee Champ . Breaking Bad . In the cult TV series , Breaking Bad , lead character Walter White ( played by Bryan Cranston ) morphs from a bland high school chemistry teacher into an all-powerful drug kingpin with trademark pork pie hat , black sunglasses and goatee , but he still wears Wallabees , just about the only shoe he wears from the beginning of the five-season series until its completion . Heritage . The Shoe Museum was established in 1950 by Laurence Barber at 40 High Street near the Clarks headquarters in Street , Somerset . Today the museum displays some 1,500 shoes as well as related exhibits , describing the development of shoes from Roman times and especially detailing the growth of Clarks shoes and shoemaking in Somerset . In 2002 , a charity called the Alfred Gillett Trust was established to care for the archives and collections of C&J Clark Ltd and the Clark family . Working closely with The Shoe Museum , the trusts collections include family and business archives , catalogues and sale materials , artwork and furniture , costume , film and sound archives , historic shoes and shoe making machinery . The trust is named after Alfred Gillett , a cousin of the companys founders and an amateur paleontologist ; some of his fossils are included in the trusts collection . The trust is based at The Grange , a Grade II listed building close to the museum in Street .

Who was the chief executive officer of C. & J. Clark in Sep 1928?
|
C . & ; J . Clark C . & J . Clark International Ltd , trading as Clarks , is a British international shoe manufacturer and retailer . It was founded in 1825 by Cyrus Clark in Street , Somerset , England – where it still has its headquarters . The company has 1,400 branded stores and franchises around the world and also sells through third-party distribution . Clarks also operated concessions in Mothercare stores . The company is commonly known for its Desert Boot , a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe rubber sole , usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) based on an unlined suede boot profile produced in the bazaars of Cairo and worn by British officers in the Second World War . For the year ending January 2013 , the company made a profit of £150 million on sales of £1,433m making it the 31st largest private company in the United Kingdom . More than half of its £1.4bn annualised sales to January were generated abroad , and since 2010 the company has moved into India , where it now has 25 stand-alone stores , and relaunched marketing in China , where it has opened 400 outlets in partnership with local footwear retailers . Clarks was 84% owned by the Clark family , with the remaining 16% held by employees and related institutions . In November 2020 , after a company voluntary arrangement , Clarks was rescued through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital , in which the Clarks family lost overall control of the company . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings agreed to acquire 51% of LionRock Capital , so has a substantial stake in the Clarks brand . History . 1825–1862 – Rugs , slippers and prizes . Origins of C . & J . Clark can be traced back to 1821 when Cyrus Clark ( 1801–1866 ) entered into a partnership with a Quaker cousin in the trade of fellmongering , wool-stapling and tanning in Street , Somerset . By 1825 , this partnership had been dissolved and Cyrus relocated to a site on the High Street in Street , utilising premises that belonged to his father-in-law to exploit his idea of making rugs out of sheepskins instead of pulling off the wool . C . & J . Clark recognise this as the beginning of their business and continue to occupy the site upon which Cyrus started to this very day . By 1828 , as the business had grown , Cyrus appointed his younger brother James ( 1811–1906 ) as an apprentice . Educated away from Street , James was meant to be apprentice to a chemist in Bath , but successfully pleaded with his parents to let him stay in Street and help Cyrus . In 1828–1829 , whilst serving this apprenticeship , James began utilising the offcuts that were too short for making rugs to produce slippers ( known as Brown Petersburgs ) . The slippers were made using outworkers who collected materials from the factory , assembled footwear in workshops at home and returned the finished product for payment . This trade rapidly evolved , providing James with a legitimate claim to an equal partnership in the business when his apprenticeship was served in 1833 . Thereafter , it traded as C . & J . Clark . The brothers developed national and international trade ( Ireland in the 1820s , Canada by the 1830s , Australia in the 1850s ) and were notably innovative , winning the gold medal at the Great Exhibition in 1851 for their gutta percha elongated galosh . 1863–1903 – Riding the storm . A couple of bad years that combined volatile market conditions , a certain lack of financial rigour and questionable planning brought the business to the brink of bankruptcy in 1863 . The local Quaker community stepped in and part of the bailout deal was the nomination of James eldest son , William Stephens Clark ( 1839–1925 ) to the helm of C . & J . Clark . William Clark put in place an accelerated repayment plan that saw indebtedness drop considerably to 1873 when he became a partner in the business with his father James . For the first time in Britain , William mechanised the shoemaking process and went on to establish C . & J . Clark both as a pioneer of new technology and as a champion of footwear innovation . James withdrew from the partnership in 1889 , to be replaced by his son Francis , Williams younger brother . In line with the familys Quaker values , the capital was also extended beyond the factory to benefit social initiatives in Street : a school was founded so that young men and women could combine working in the factory with continuing their education , a theatre was opened , a library was built , along with an open-air swimming pool and town hall . Playing fields were established for the benefit of all and low-cost housing was provided by the company for its employees . 1904–1945 – Style , technology and foot measuring . In 1903 the partnership arrangement was discontinued in favour of a private limited company . This enabled the succession to the third generation of family members as children of William Stephens Clark became life directors alongside Francis and himself . Tasked with specific responsibilities , Alice Clark , John Bright Clark and Roger Clark developed distinct roles . Brothers John Bright and Roger Clark studied American making processes and techniques with a view to appointing a suitable candidate experienced in the American factory system that they might bring to Street . John Walter Bostock from Lynn , Massachusetts was recruited in 1904 . The implementation was a resounding success and Bostock was made a director of the company in 1928 . A London Office , opened in the West End in 1908 , supplemented the shoemaking knowledge with style information . A reputation for high-quality goods available in the latest fashions , was established in the early 1910s , and remained until the Second World War . A premium quality Tor range was produced on the principles of standard lines , followed by a range of affordable fashionable footwear called Wessex . The company had its first national press advertisement in 1934 and entered formally into retailing in 1937 through the acquisition of Abbotts chain of shops based around London and the provinces . Peter Lord was created by Hugh Bryan Clark as a retail brand to avoid alarming agents or alerting competitors to the companys activities . It steadily evolved into a national network of stores . Growing awareness that bad feet were the product of ill-fitting shoes determined Bostock to devise a new shoe fitting system based on the detailed analysis of thousands of foot measurements taken from local school children . In line with the findings the company launched its new childrens ranges in 1945 with a choice of four width fittings , simultaneously with the new Clarks foot gauge that acted as a scientific measuring instrument to aid the shop assistant . 1946–1995 – Growth and challenges . Expansion of the business post-war was largely initiated by fourth-generation family members : Bancroft Clark , appointed Managing Director and Chairman in 1942 and his cousins , Anthony Clark and Peter Clothier , accountable for Sales/Marketing and Manufacturing respectively . The start-up or acquisition of additional manufacturing facilities ( peaking at 17 domestic factories ) across the South West and South East of England and South Wales meant that the companys volume market share in the UK increased from 1.1 per cent in 1945 to 9 per cent by 1970 . Foreign manufacturing was also sought through agreements with existing domestic manufacturers : Ireland in the 1930s with Australia , Canada and South Africa added in the 1940s and 1950s . Nathan Clark ( younger brother of Bancroft ) negotiated a number of these agreements in his capacity as Overseas Manager until 1952 . Bancroft retired in 1967 . His son , Daniel Clark succeeded Peter Clothier as Managing Director in 1973 , with Anthony Clark remaining as Chairman . He retired in 1974 , when his son , Lance Clark , was appointed Managing Director of the manufacturing and wholesaling division . In 1974 Clarks bought the fashionable Ravel , Pinet and Mondaine . The company acquired K Shoes , based in Kendal , Cumbria to salvage it from a hostile takeover . The closure of factories started in 1978 , and continued throughout the 1980s . Daniel Clark resigned in 1986 replaced by John Clothier ( son of Peter ) who remained CEO throughout the turbulent buy-out negotiations with Berisford International Plc , a properties commodities group that attempted to take the troubled company public . While the proposal was defeated by shareholders at the EGM convened on 7 May 1993 it was also decided to move away from direct family management to professional managers , who would rationalise the business , and would be more comfortable with making the changes needed for its recovery . 1996–present : Worldwide growth and a global brand . The appointment of Tim Parker as CEO in 1996 was made on the initiation of the newly elected Chairman , Roger Pedder . Clarks format was radically changed with the Act Your Shoe Size Not Your Age Campaign in 1997 , which contributed to a freshening of the brand . Completion of the transition from manufacturing to a wholesaling and branded retailing business was conducted by Parkers successor , Peter Bolliger , who became CEO in 2002 . Closure of the companys remaining manufacturing interests meant that the last Clarks UK factory ceased production in 2005 followed by the last K factory in 2006 . Production was relocated off-shore , using third party factories , predominantly located in Asia . Transformation of retail and investment to modernise company infrastructure and systems was also completed . Street consequently remains the epicentre for company operations , a distribution facility having been constructed in the village in 2005 with the capacity to process 1 million pairs of shoes per week . Former CEO , Melissa Potter , who was appointed in 2010 , re-organized the business in four regions Americas , Asia Pacific , Europe and United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland ( from February 2013 ) , the re-launch in China , the move into India , the launch of the online business and the increased focus on building a global brand . Melissa Potter stepped down as CEO in September 2015 . Non-executive chairman Thomas O’Neill lead the business until 2017 when Mike Shearwood was appointed as the new CEO . Then following Shearwoods resignation in June 2018 , Stella David was announced as In-term CEO . In February 2019 Giorgio Presca was announced as the new CEO , Stella David returned to her role on the board . In May 2018 , the company announced that it would build a new production plant next to its headquarters in Street , Somerset . The £3 million factory would see the latest in robot technology and create 80 jobs and produce over 300,000 pairs of Desert Shoes per year . In November 2020 , Clarks announced a rescue plan through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital after a company voluntary arrangement ( CVA ) , a form of insolvency , in which the Clarks family will lose overall control of the company . The CVA requires the agreement of landlords , who would receive a percentage of turnover as rent , and creditors . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings has agreed to acquire 51 per cent of LionRock Capital Partners QiLe Limited , the private equity firm which will own the Clarks brand , for £51 million . The majority owner of Viva China Holdings is entrepreneur Li Ning , a former Olympic gold medal winner for China . This resulted in Victor Herrero , a Spanish executive and former CEO of Guess , being named as the new Clarks CEO in March of 2021 . Prior to his appointment as CEO , he served as a board member to Clarks since April 2019 . Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) . The history of C&J Clarks representation in America dates back to 1950 and the formation of Clarks of England Inc . Initiated by Bronson Davis , a car salesman , who had seen the Desert Boot at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . Davis established a sales organization covering 150 accounts with outlets that stocked Clarks products , predominantly Desert Boots . He also sponsored advertisements for Clarks shoes in The New Yorker and Esquire magazines . Davis established relations with some of Americas most prestigious retailers ; Abercrombie & Fitch , Neiman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue . The coverage for the Desert Boot was consolidated by advertising that targeted the campus trade of Berkeley , Cornell , Harvard , North Carolina and Yale Universities through ads in Esquire and college magazines . A young salesman named Robert ( Bob ) Cullerton followed Bronson Davis at the lead in America . Appointed President in April 1961 , he inherited a business focussed on the provision of mens casuals and the Desert Boot . He appointed designer Nancy Knox to create a new range advertised via Playboy and Gentlemens Quarterly . In parallel with American developments , C&J Clark Ltd . acquired the Blachford Shoe Manufacturing Co . Ltd . of Toronto in 1952 , establishing a foothold in Canada led by Hugh Woods and Harold Hughes . Similarities between the businesses in Canada and North America meant Cullerton , Woods and Hughes quickly collaborated . They developed a clear vision of what womens sandals and shoes were required to supplement the demand for mens casual offerings . An Italian resourcing programme was started by Woods in 1960 to get more style and variety into the ranges . Offices were opened in the Empire State Building , New York in April 1964 . Sales were also buoyed by the introduction of the Wallabee in the late 1960s and expansion towards the West Coast . Wholesaling interests were complemented with retail from the late 1970s through the acquisition of Hanover Shoes Inc . who owned 220 retail shops . At the same time C&J Clark decided to bring together its North American interests under one corporation to operate Hanover , Clarks of England and Clarks Canada . The business grew further in 1979 through the acquisition of Bostonian , a well-respected mens dress shoe brand , adding 25 more shop locations as well as entry into 70 leased stores and discounting outlets . Responsibility for Clarks Canada and Clarks of England was transferred to the C&J Clarks HQ in Street in 1986 . Clarks of England and Clarks Canada officially merged in 1987 to provide more operational efficiencies and more consistency of product offering for North America . Bob Infantino became CEO of the North American operations in 1992 , taking a key role in consolidating the manufacturing , retailing , and wholesaling activities in America into one company : Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) from 1995 . By 1998 , CCNA became principally a wholesaling business , serving 170 owned retail locations and 3,600 third party wholesale accounts , representing 14,200 retail outlets . Sales increased by 57 per cent from 1995 to 2001 , profits rose five-fold . Infantino left the company in 2010 , replaced by Jim Salzano who was at the helm of the North American business until 2013 , when CCNA officially became the Americas Region , one of the four regions resulting as part of the re-organization initiated by Melissa Potter . Since March 2016 Gary Champion has led the Americas Region as president , also serving on the Global Leadership Team . Products . School shoes . In the United Kingdom , Clarks has long been a popular choice of parents as a place to purchase school shoes for children to wear upon returning to school following the summer holidays . The Independent UK newspaper ranked Clarks as the number one provider of school shoes in the United Kingdom in 2017 , highlighting that it has been providing quality shoes for over 170 years and highlighting the fact that Clarks is one of only a few manufacturers of school shoes to be provided in half sizes . Part of the reason , despite being long-lasting and durable , parents have opted for Clarks school shoes for their children is that almost every Clarks design of school shoes has been classed as acceptable shoes in line with most primary and secondary school uniform policies . In recent years , notably in mid–2010s , schools have reviewed their uniform policies and have instead identified a few of Clarks designs for school shoes as being unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy of the school . In 2016 , nationwide attention was gathered after 12-year-old Alfie Ingerfeild from Bristol was sent home from school at the beginning of the new school term in September after wearing a pair of Harlem Spin shoes from Clarks Bootleg school shoe range . The school , Mangotsfield School , claimed that the Harlem Spin design was too much like trainers and therefore classed them as unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy , so much so to the extent that the Deputy Head Teacher of Mangotsfield School said that should the shoes be worn the following school then the pupil would be asked to remove them and forced to wear shoes from lost property . This is despite the fact that the Harlem Spin shoes were advertised by Clarks as being school shoes – Clarks did not give a statement in regards to the incident and questions over the design of the Harlem Spin shoes . In 2017 , a particular style of Mary Jane shoes called Dolly Babe was compared unfavourably to Clarks own Leader school shoe for boys , with parents and ministers both accusing the company of sexism and gender stereotypes – the Mary Janes in question being viewed as flimsy and stereotypically feminine with a heart-print insole and a heart-shaped charm on the toe box while the boys shoe was seen as sturdier . The company soon apologised over the matter and withdrew the shoe from sale . Clarks also issued a statement saying it would commit to designing gender-neutral footwear following customer feedback . In March 2018 , two pupils from Kearsley Academy were sent home from school due to their school shoes , both purchased from Clarks , for looking too much like trainers . The shoes in question were both purchased from Clarks Bootleg range , a designated brand of school shoes from Clarks marketed for older children and teenagers . Joyance sandal . During the 20th century , Clarks established a reputation for quality childrens footwear . The crepe rubber soled Joyance T-bar sandal for both boys and girls was one of their most popular designs . Launched in 1933 , it continued in production until 1972 . Desert Boot . The companys best-known product is the Desert Boot – a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe sole usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) . Nathan Clark was an officer in the Royal Army Service Corps posted to Burma in 1941 with orders to help establish a supply route from Rangoon to the Chinese forces at Chongqing whilst also launching a series of offensives throughout South East Asia . Before leaving home his brother Bancroft had given him the mission to gather any information on footwear that might be of use to the company whilst he was travelling the world . The Desert Boot was the result of this mission . His discovery of the Desert Boot was made either at Staff College in 1944 or on leave in Kashmir where three divisions of the old Eighth Army ( transferred to the Far East from North Africa ) were wearing ankle-high suede boots manufactured in the bazaars of Cairo . Nathan sent sketches and rough patterns back to Bancroft , but no trials were made until after he returned to Street and cut the patterns himself . The Desert Boot was cut on the mens Guernsey Sandal last and sampled in a neutral beige-grey 2mm chrome bend split suede . The companys Stock Committee reacted badly to the sample and dismissed the idea as it would never sell . It was only in his capacity as Overseas Development Manager that Nathan had any success with the shoe after introducing it to Oskar Schoefler ( Fashion Editor , Esquire Magazine ) at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . He gave them substantial editorial credits with colour photographs in Esquire in early 1950 . Bronson Davies subsequently saw these articles and applied to represent the company in selling them across the US , long before they were available in the UK . The Desert Boot was initially sold in Britain through shops in Regent Street , featuring a Union Jack sewn into the label , targeted at tourists . Lance Clark is widely credited with popularising them in Europe during the 1960s . The Desert Boot have been manufactured at Shepton Mallet , small scale production having initially occurred at Street . During the course of time , Whitecross factory in Weston-Super-Mare was subcontracted to relieve Shepton factory of the manufacture of the Desert Boot , before the Bushacre factory at Locking Road , Weston-Super-Mare was constructed in 1958 . The Desert Boot was manufactured there until the closure of the factory in 2001 . Clarks announced in July 2017 , it was restarting manufacturing Desert Boots , using a new manufacturing unit featuring robot-assisted technology , at its headquarters in Street , Somerset . Up to 300,000 pairs a year of desert boots were to be made at the unit , creating up to eighty technical and managerial jobs . However , in January 2019 the company announced that this unit was to be closed , after failing to meet production targets . Wallabee . Produced by Clarks from 1967 and based on a moccasin called the Grashopper , launched in 1964 , by the German company Sioux , the Wallabee brand was manufactured at the Padmore and Barnes factory based in Kilkenny , Ireland , which Clarks had acquired in 1963 and continued to operate until its closure in 1987 , when it was the subject of a management buy-out . Managed by Lance Clark who was responsible for having negotiated the licence to produce the shoes in Kilkenny and arranged for the factory staff to be trained in the production of moccasin shoes , the product took off once the decision was taken to market it in North America in 1968 . As General Manager of the factory , Paddy Roberts took the shoe to a trade fair in New York in the same year , whereupon he quickly learnt that the trademark Grasshopper had been licensed . In conjunction with Jack Rose-Smith ( Clarks Overseas Shoes Export Manager ) , Bob Cullerton ( the President for Clarks in America/Clarks of England ) , Hugh Woods ( Managing Director of Clarks Canada ) , Roberts trademarked the name Wallabee . Desert Trek . Another style associated with the Lance Clark who had seen a Zwartjes version of the shoe on the feet of artist , Sonja Landweer in the late 1960s . An artist in residence at the Kilkenny Design Workshops , where she had come into contact with Lance Clark , Landweers shoes became the basis for production of the Trek which was first attempted at Clarks factory in Dundalk . This was more attuned to the construction of stitch-down footwear . The shoe was initially launched in North America in 1971 as Trek , before featuring in the UK range in 1972 where it was renamed Hike , owing to an existing footwear trademark . The Trek man that first featured on the shoe was drafted by Lance Clark and refined by the advertising manager in Dundalk , Bob Patten . Popular culture . Some Clarks styles ( particularly the Desert Boot , Wallabee & Desert Trek ) were widely adopted as cultural icons by different subcultures and featured in songs as well as popular films and TV series . Jamaica . The most referenced is the popularity of the Clarks shoes in Jamaica and the association with the Jamaican rude boys movement . According to DJ , producer and cultural historian Al Fingers in his book , Clarks in Jamaica , this trend started in the late 1960s when the emerging youth culture of the recently independent Jamaica adopted the Clarks shoes as part of their uniform . The original gangster rude boy dem , a Clarks dem wear , producer Jah Thomas tells Fingers in the book . And in Jamaica a rude boy him nah wear cheap ting . Writes Fingers , In the early 70s , the rude boy/desert boot association became so strong that young males risked a beating by police simply for wearing a pair . You must be a thief , the police would say . How else would you afford such expensive Clarks ? He tells the story of an infamous Kingston police officer called Joe Williams , who carried out a raid on a dance being run by producer and label boss Sir Coxsone Dodd . The DJ Dennis Alcapone recalls the arrival of Superintendent Williams : He tell the DJ to turn the sound down , and he say : All whos wearing Clarks booty , stand on that side of the dance . And whos not wearing Clarks booty stand on this side . Because he knows that rude boys wear them , so that is a way of identifying them . Reggae and dancehall stars Dillinger , Trinity , Ranking Joe , Scorcher , Little John , Super Cat and countless others had sung about Clarks in the past . Some of the most famous songs written about the Clarks shoes in Jamaica are Little Johns Clarks Booty and Vybz Kartels Clarks ( over 2.6 million hits on YouTube ) . Mods . While the Clarks Desert Boots became fashionable in the Beatnik Culture in the US , they became popular with youth in the UK after being adopted by Sixties Mods who wore them as part of both smart and casual clothing outfits . While the shoes are appropriate for a unisex look , they were particularly popular with male mods who wore them with military parkas , tailor-made suits with narrow lapels ( sometimes made of mohair ) , thin ties , button-down collar shirts , and wool or cashmere jumpers . Paris riots . The joint influences of the Beatniks and Mods made the Clarks Desert Boots ( Les Clarks ) popular among the Parisian students who wore them during the 1968 riots . The Clarks Desert Boots carried on through to the Mod Revival era of the Seventies and Eighties becoming a true Retro Mod Classic . They famously featured quite heavily in the 1979 Quadrophenia , Franc Roddams film adaptation of the Whos rock opera influencing in turn the Britpop movement of the 1990s . Rappers . The Clarks Wallabees in particular were adopted in recent times by the American rapper community . Their appeal can be traced to a wave of Jamaican immigrants who came to New York in the 1970s and paired Clarks shoes with suits . African-Americans saw it as an alternative to sneakers and jeans and incorporated it into their look , said Slick Rick , a rapper , whose parents were born in Jamaica and later moved to the Bronx . Its a way to be casual but not look like a scrub . The ladies like that . The shoe was long a staple of fashionable West Indians in New York City but towards the 1990s had fallen out of favor in hip-hop circles who tended to gravitate toward Timberland boots or sneakers . The rebirth of the Clarks Wallabees as a cool staple from mid-late 1990s is linked with New York-based hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan . Wu members ( RZA , GZA , Method Man , Raekwon , Ghostface Killah , Inspectah Deck , U-God , Masta Killa , and the late Ol Dirty Bastard ) and in particular Raekwon and Ghostface Killah wore Wallabees because not only they found them aesthetically pleasing but also since no other rapper was wearing them , they showed that they werent victims of the trends . They even featured the name of the shoe in the lyrics of several songs , engendering a revival of the Wallabees as a hip-hop staple by the mid-late 1990s . This justified Ghostface Killah to call himself Wally Champ and feature custom-dyed Wallabee shoes on the cover of his 1996 Ironman album . His 2008 compilation album was also called The Wallabee Champ . Breaking Bad . In the cult TV series , Breaking Bad , lead character Walter White ( played by Bryan Cranston ) morphs from a bland high school chemistry teacher into an all-powerful drug kingpin with trademark pork pie hat , black sunglasses and goatee , but he still wears Wallabees , just about the only shoe he wears from the beginning of the five-season series until its completion . Heritage . The Shoe Museum was established in 1950 by Laurence Barber at 40 High Street near the Clarks headquarters in Street , Somerset . Today the museum displays some 1,500 shoes as well as related exhibits , describing the development of shoes from Roman times and especially detailing the growth of Clarks shoes and shoemaking in Somerset . In 2002 , a charity called the Alfred Gillett Trust was established to care for the archives and collections of C&J Clark Ltd and the Clark family . Working closely with The Shoe Museum , the trusts collections include family and business archives , catalogues and sale materials , artwork and furniture , costume , film and sound archives , historic shoes and shoe making machinery . The trust is named after Alfred Gillett , a cousin of the companys founders and an amateur paleontologist ; some of his fossils are included in the trusts collection . The trust is based at The Grange , a Grade II listed building close to the museum in Street .

Who was the chief executive officer of C. & J. Clark between Feb 1965 and Feb 1966?
|
C . & ; J . Clark C . & J . Clark International Ltd , trading as Clarks , is a British international shoe manufacturer and retailer . It was founded in 1825 by Cyrus Clark in Street , Somerset , England – where it still has its headquarters . The company has 1,400 branded stores and franchises around the world and also sells through third-party distribution . Clarks also operated concessions in Mothercare stores . The company is commonly known for its Desert Boot , a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe rubber sole , usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) based on an unlined suede boot profile produced in the bazaars of Cairo and worn by British officers in the Second World War . For the year ending January 2013 , the company made a profit of £150 million on sales of £1,433m making it the 31st largest private company in the United Kingdom . More than half of its £1.4bn annualised sales to January were generated abroad , and since 2010 the company has moved into India , where it now has 25 stand-alone stores , and relaunched marketing in China , where it has opened 400 outlets in partnership with local footwear retailers . Clarks was 84% owned by the Clark family , with the remaining 16% held by employees and related institutions . In November 2020 , after a company voluntary arrangement , Clarks was rescued through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital , in which the Clarks family lost overall control of the company . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings agreed to acquire 51% of LionRock Capital , so has a substantial stake in the Clarks brand . History . 1825–1862 – Rugs , slippers and prizes . Origins of C . & J . Clark can be traced back to 1821 when Cyrus Clark ( 1801–1866 ) entered into a partnership with a Quaker cousin in the trade of fellmongering , wool-stapling and tanning in Street , Somerset . By 1825 , this partnership had been dissolved and Cyrus relocated to a site on the High Street in Street , utilising premises that belonged to his father-in-law to exploit his idea of making rugs out of sheepskins instead of pulling off the wool . C . & J . Clark recognise this as the beginning of their business and continue to occupy the site upon which Cyrus started to this very day . By 1828 , as the business had grown , Cyrus appointed his younger brother James ( 1811–1906 ) as an apprentice . Educated away from Street , James was meant to be apprentice to a chemist in Bath , but successfully pleaded with his parents to let him stay in Street and help Cyrus . In 1828–1829 , whilst serving this apprenticeship , James began utilising the offcuts that were too short for making rugs to produce slippers ( known as Brown Petersburgs ) . The slippers were made using outworkers who collected materials from the factory , assembled footwear in workshops at home and returned the finished product for payment . This trade rapidly evolved , providing James with a legitimate claim to an equal partnership in the business when his apprenticeship was served in 1833 . Thereafter , it traded as C . & J . Clark . The brothers developed national and international trade ( Ireland in the 1820s , Canada by the 1830s , Australia in the 1850s ) and were notably innovative , winning the gold medal at the Great Exhibition in 1851 for their gutta percha elongated galosh . 1863–1903 – Riding the storm . A couple of bad years that combined volatile market conditions , a certain lack of financial rigour and questionable planning brought the business to the brink of bankruptcy in 1863 . The local Quaker community stepped in and part of the bailout deal was the nomination of James eldest son , William Stephens Clark ( 1839–1925 ) to the helm of C . & J . Clark . William Clark put in place an accelerated repayment plan that saw indebtedness drop considerably to 1873 when he became a partner in the business with his father James . For the first time in Britain , William mechanised the shoemaking process and went on to establish C . & J . Clark both as a pioneer of new technology and as a champion of footwear innovation . James withdrew from the partnership in 1889 , to be replaced by his son Francis , Williams younger brother . In line with the familys Quaker values , the capital was also extended beyond the factory to benefit social initiatives in Street : a school was founded so that young men and women could combine working in the factory with continuing their education , a theatre was opened , a library was built , along with an open-air swimming pool and town hall . Playing fields were established for the benefit of all and low-cost housing was provided by the company for its employees . 1904–1945 – Style , technology and foot measuring . In 1903 the partnership arrangement was discontinued in favour of a private limited company . This enabled the succession to the third generation of family members as children of William Stephens Clark became life directors alongside Francis and himself . Tasked with specific responsibilities , Alice Clark , John Bright Clark and Roger Clark developed distinct roles . Brothers John Bright and Roger Clark studied American making processes and techniques with a view to appointing a suitable candidate experienced in the American factory system that they might bring to Street . John Walter Bostock from Lynn , Massachusetts was recruited in 1904 . The implementation was a resounding success and Bostock was made a director of the company in 1928 . A London Office , opened in the West End in 1908 , supplemented the shoemaking knowledge with style information . A reputation for high-quality goods available in the latest fashions , was established in the early 1910s , and remained until the Second World War . A premium quality Tor range was produced on the principles of standard lines , followed by a range of affordable fashionable footwear called Wessex . The company had its first national press advertisement in 1934 and entered formally into retailing in 1937 through the acquisition of Abbotts chain of shops based around London and the provinces . Peter Lord was created by Hugh Bryan Clark as a retail brand to avoid alarming agents or alerting competitors to the companys activities . It steadily evolved into a national network of stores . Growing awareness that bad feet were the product of ill-fitting shoes determined Bostock to devise a new shoe fitting system based on the detailed analysis of thousands of foot measurements taken from local school children . In line with the findings the company launched its new childrens ranges in 1945 with a choice of four width fittings , simultaneously with the new Clarks foot gauge that acted as a scientific measuring instrument to aid the shop assistant . 1946–1995 – Growth and challenges . Expansion of the business post-war was largely initiated by fourth-generation family members : Bancroft Clark , appointed Managing Director and Chairman in 1942 and his cousins , Anthony Clark and Peter Clothier , accountable for Sales/Marketing and Manufacturing respectively . The start-up or acquisition of additional manufacturing facilities ( peaking at 17 domestic factories ) across the South West and South East of England and South Wales meant that the companys volume market share in the UK increased from 1.1 per cent in 1945 to 9 per cent by 1970 . Foreign manufacturing was also sought through agreements with existing domestic manufacturers : Ireland in the 1930s with Australia , Canada and South Africa added in the 1940s and 1950s . Nathan Clark ( younger brother of Bancroft ) negotiated a number of these agreements in his capacity as Overseas Manager until 1952 . Bancroft retired in 1967 . His son , Daniel Clark succeeded Peter Clothier as Managing Director in 1973 , with Anthony Clark remaining as Chairman . He retired in 1974 , when his son , Lance Clark , was appointed Managing Director of the manufacturing and wholesaling division . In 1974 Clarks bought the fashionable Ravel , Pinet and Mondaine . The company acquired K Shoes , based in Kendal , Cumbria to salvage it from a hostile takeover . The closure of factories started in 1978 , and continued throughout the 1980s . Daniel Clark resigned in 1986 replaced by John Clothier ( son of Peter ) who remained CEO throughout the turbulent buy-out negotiations with Berisford International Plc , a properties commodities group that attempted to take the troubled company public . While the proposal was defeated by shareholders at the EGM convened on 7 May 1993 it was also decided to move away from direct family management to professional managers , who would rationalise the business , and would be more comfortable with making the changes needed for its recovery . 1996–present : Worldwide growth and a global brand . The appointment of Tim Parker as CEO in 1996 was made on the initiation of the newly elected Chairman , Roger Pedder . Clarks format was radically changed with the Act Your Shoe Size Not Your Age Campaign in 1997 , which contributed to a freshening of the brand . Completion of the transition from manufacturing to a wholesaling and branded retailing business was conducted by Parkers successor , Peter Bolliger , who became CEO in 2002 . Closure of the companys remaining manufacturing interests meant that the last Clarks UK factory ceased production in 2005 followed by the last K factory in 2006 . Production was relocated off-shore , using third party factories , predominantly located in Asia . Transformation of retail and investment to modernise company infrastructure and systems was also completed . Street consequently remains the epicentre for company operations , a distribution facility having been constructed in the village in 2005 with the capacity to process 1 million pairs of shoes per week . Former CEO , Melissa Potter , who was appointed in 2010 , re-organized the business in four regions Americas , Asia Pacific , Europe and United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland ( from February 2013 ) , the re-launch in China , the move into India , the launch of the online business and the increased focus on building a global brand . Melissa Potter stepped down as CEO in September 2015 . Non-executive chairman Thomas O’Neill lead the business until 2017 when Mike Shearwood was appointed as the new CEO . Then following Shearwoods resignation in June 2018 , Stella David was announced as In-term CEO . In February 2019 Giorgio Presca was announced as the new CEO , Stella David returned to her role on the board . In May 2018 , the company announced that it would build a new production plant next to its headquarters in Street , Somerset . The £3 million factory would see the latest in robot technology and create 80 jobs and produce over 300,000 pairs of Desert Shoes per year . In November 2020 , Clarks announced a rescue plan through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital after a company voluntary arrangement ( CVA ) , a form of insolvency , in which the Clarks family will lose overall control of the company . The CVA requires the agreement of landlords , who would receive a percentage of turnover as rent , and creditors . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings has agreed to acquire 51 per cent of LionRock Capital Partners QiLe Limited , the private equity firm which will own the Clarks brand , for £51 million . The majority owner of Viva China Holdings is entrepreneur Li Ning , a former Olympic gold medal winner for China . This resulted in Victor Herrero , a Spanish executive and former CEO of Guess , being named as the new Clarks CEO in March of 2021 . Prior to his appointment as CEO , he served as a board member to Clarks since April 2019 . Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) . The history of C&J Clarks representation in America dates back to 1950 and the formation of Clarks of England Inc . Initiated by Bronson Davis , a car salesman , who had seen the Desert Boot at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . Davis established a sales organization covering 150 accounts with outlets that stocked Clarks products , predominantly Desert Boots . He also sponsored advertisements for Clarks shoes in The New Yorker and Esquire magazines . Davis established relations with some of Americas most prestigious retailers ; Abercrombie & Fitch , Neiman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue . The coverage for the Desert Boot was consolidated by advertising that targeted the campus trade of Berkeley , Cornell , Harvard , North Carolina and Yale Universities through ads in Esquire and college magazines . A young salesman named Robert ( Bob ) Cullerton followed Bronson Davis at the lead in America . Appointed President in April 1961 , he inherited a business focussed on the provision of mens casuals and the Desert Boot . He appointed designer Nancy Knox to create a new range advertised via Playboy and Gentlemens Quarterly . In parallel with American developments , C&J Clark Ltd . acquired the Blachford Shoe Manufacturing Co . Ltd . of Toronto in 1952 , establishing a foothold in Canada led by Hugh Woods and Harold Hughes . Similarities between the businesses in Canada and North America meant Cullerton , Woods and Hughes quickly collaborated . They developed a clear vision of what womens sandals and shoes were required to supplement the demand for mens casual offerings . An Italian resourcing programme was started by Woods in 1960 to get more style and variety into the ranges . Offices were opened in the Empire State Building , New York in April 1964 . Sales were also buoyed by the introduction of the Wallabee in the late 1960s and expansion towards the West Coast . Wholesaling interests were complemented with retail from the late 1970s through the acquisition of Hanover Shoes Inc . who owned 220 retail shops . At the same time C&J Clark decided to bring together its North American interests under one corporation to operate Hanover , Clarks of England and Clarks Canada . The business grew further in 1979 through the acquisition of Bostonian , a well-respected mens dress shoe brand , adding 25 more shop locations as well as entry into 70 leased stores and discounting outlets . Responsibility for Clarks Canada and Clarks of England was transferred to the C&J Clarks HQ in Street in 1986 . Clarks of England and Clarks Canada officially merged in 1987 to provide more operational efficiencies and more consistency of product offering for North America . Bob Infantino became CEO of the North American operations in 1992 , taking a key role in consolidating the manufacturing , retailing , and wholesaling activities in America into one company : Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) from 1995 . By 1998 , CCNA became principally a wholesaling business , serving 170 owned retail locations and 3,600 third party wholesale accounts , representing 14,200 retail outlets . Sales increased by 57 per cent from 1995 to 2001 , profits rose five-fold . Infantino left the company in 2010 , replaced by Jim Salzano who was at the helm of the North American business until 2013 , when CCNA officially became the Americas Region , one of the four regions resulting as part of the re-organization initiated by Melissa Potter . Since March 2016 Gary Champion has led the Americas Region as president , also serving on the Global Leadership Team . Products . School shoes . In the United Kingdom , Clarks has long been a popular choice of parents as a place to purchase school shoes for children to wear upon returning to school following the summer holidays . The Independent UK newspaper ranked Clarks as the number one provider of school shoes in the United Kingdom in 2017 , highlighting that it has been providing quality shoes for over 170 years and highlighting the fact that Clarks is one of only a few manufacturers of school shoes to be provided in half sizes . Part of the reason , despite being long-lasting and durable , parents have opted for Clarks school shoes for their children is that almost every Clarks design of school shoes has been classed as acceptable shoes in line with most primary and secondary school uniform policies . In recent years , notably in mid–2010s , schools have reviewed their uniform policies and have instead identified a few of Clarks designs for school shoes as being unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy of the school . In 2016 , nationwide attention was gathered after 12-year-old Alfie Ingerfeild from Bristol was sent home from school at the beginning of the new school term in September after wearing a pair of Harlem Spin shoes from Clarks Bootleg school shoe range . The school , Mangotsfield School , claimed that the Harlem Spin design was too much like trainers and therefore classed them as unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy , so much so to the extent that the Deputy Head Teacher of Mangotsfield School said that should the shoes be worn the following school then the pupil would be asked to remove them and forced to wear shoes from lost property . This is despite the fact that the Harlem Spin shoes were advertised by Clarks as being school shoes – Clarks did not give a statement in regards to the incident and questions over the design of the Harlem Spin shoes . In 2017 , a particular style of Mary Jane shoes called Dolly Babe was compared unfavourably to Clarks own Leader school shoe for boys , with parents and ministers both accusing the company of sexism and gender stereotypes – the Mary Janes in question being viewed as flimsy and stereotypically feminine with a heart-print insole and a heart-shaped charm on the toe box while the boys shoe was seen as sturdier . The company soon apologised over the matter and withdrew the shoe from sale . Clarks also issued a statement saying it would commit to designing gender-neutral footwear following customer feedback . In March 2018 , two pupils from Kearsley Academy were sent home from school due to their school shoes , both purchased from Clarks , for looking too much like trainers . The shoes in question were both purchased from Clarks Bootleg range , a designated brand of school shoes from Clarks marketed for older children and teenagers . Joyance sandal . During the 20th century , Clarks established a reputation for quality childrens footwear . The crepe rubber soled Joyance T-bar sandal for both boys and girls was one of their most popular designs . Launched in 1933 , it continued in production until 1972 . Desert Boot . The companys best-known product is the Desert Boot – a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe sole usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) . Nathan Clark was an officer in the Royal Army Service Corps posted to Burma in 1941 with orders to help establish a supply route from Rangoon to the Chinese forces at Chongqing whilst also launching a series of offensives throughout South East Asia . Before leaving home his brother Bancroft had given him the mission to gather any information on footwear that might be of use to the company whilst he was travelling the world . The Desert Boot was the result of this mission . His discovery of the Desert Boot was made either at Staff College in 1944 or on leave in Kashmir where three divisions of the old Eighth Army ( transferred to the Far East from North Africa ) were wearing ankle-high suede boots manufactured in the bazaars of Cairo . Nathan sent sketches and rough patterns back to Bancroft , but no trials were made until after he returned to Street and cut the patterns himself . The Desert Boot was cut on the mens Guernsey Sandal last and sampled in a neutral beige-grey 2mm chrome bend split suede . The companys Stock Committee reacted badly to the sample and dismissed the idea as it would never sell . It was only in his capacity as Overseas Development Manager that Nathan had any success with the shoe after introducing it to Oskar Schoefler ( Fashion Editor , Esquire Magazine ) at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . He gave them substantial editorial credits with colour photographs in Esquire in early 1950 . Bronson Davies subsequently saw these articles and applied to represent the company in selling them across the US , long before they were available in the UK . The Desert Boot was initially sold in Britain through shops in Regent Street , featuring a Union Jack sewn into the label , targeted at tourists . Lance Clark is widely credited with popularising them in Europe during the 1960s . The Desert Boot have been manufactured at Shepton Mallet , small scale production having initially occurred at Street . During the course of time , Whitecross factory in Weston-Super-Mare was subcontracted to relieve Shepton factory of the manufacture of the Desert Boot , before the Bushacre factory at Locking Road , Weston-Super-Mare was constructed in 1958 . The Desert Boot was manufactured there until the closure of the factory in 2001 . Clarks announced in July 2017 , it was restarting manufacturing Desert Boots , using a new manufacturing unit featuring robot-assisted technology , at its headquarters in Street , Somerset . Up to 300,000 pairs a year of desert boots were to be made at the unit , creating up to eighty technical and managerial jobs . However , in January 2019 the company announced that this unit was to be closed , after failing to meet production targets . Wallabee . Produced by Clarks from 1967 and based on a moccasin called the Grashopper , launched in 1964 , by the German company Sioux , the Wallabee brand was manufactured at the Padmore and Barnes factory based in Kilkenny , Ireland , which Clarks had acquired in 1963 and continued to operate until its closure in 1987 , when it was the subject of a management buy-out . Managed by Lance Clark who was responsible for having negotiated the licence to produce the shoes in Kilkenny and arranged for the factory staff to be trained in the production of moccasin shoes , the product took off once the decision was taken to market it in North America in 1968 . As General Manager of the factory , Paddy Roberts took the shoe to a trade fair in New York in the same year , whereupon he quickly learnt that the trademark Grasshopper had been licensed . In conjunction with Jack Rose-Smith ( Clarks Overseas Shoes Export Manager ) , Bob Cullerton ( the President for Clarks in America/Clarks of England ) , Hugh Woods ( Managing Director of Clarks Canada ) , Roberts trademarked the name Wallabee . Desert Trek . Another style associated with the Lance Clark who had seen a Zwartjes version of the shoe on the feet of artist , Sonja Landweer in the late 1960s . An artist in residence at the Kilkenny Design Workshops , where she had come into contact with Lance Clark , Landweers shoes became the basis for production of the Trek which was first attempted at Clarks factory in Dundalk . This was more attuned to the construction of stitch-down footwear . The shoe was initially launched in North America in 1971 as Trek , before featuring in the UK range in 1972 where it was renamed Hike , owing to an existing footwear trademark . The Trek man that first featured on the shoe was drafted by Lance Clark and refined by the advertising manager in Dundalk , Bob Patten . Popular culture . Some Clarks styles ( particularly the Desert Boot , Wallabee & Desert Trek ) were widely adopted as cultural icons by different subcultures and featured in songs as well as popular films and TV series . Jamaica . The most referenced is the popularity of the Clarks shoes in Jamaica and the association with the Jamaican rude boys movement . According to DJ , producer and cultural historian Al Fingers in his book , Clarks in Jamaica , this trend started in the late 1960s when the emerging youth culture of the recently independent Jamaica adopted the Clarks shoes as part of their uniform . The original gangster rude boy dem , a Clarks dem wear , producer Jah Thomas tells Fingers in the book . And in Jamaica a rude boy him nah wear cheap ting . Writes Fingers , In the early 70s , the rude boy/desert boot association became so strong that young males risked a beating by police simply for wearing a pair . You must be a thief , the police would say . How else would you afford such expensive Clarks ? He tells the story of an infamous Kingston police officer called Joe Williams , who carried out a raid on a dance being run by producer and label boss Sir Coxsone Dodd . The DJ Dennis Alcapone recalls the arrival of Superintendent Williams : He tell the DJ to turn the sound down , and he say : All whos wearing Clarks booty , stand on that side of the dance . And whos not wearing Clarks booty stand on this side . Because he knows that rude boys wear them , so that is a way of identifying them . Reggae and dancehall stars Dillinger , Trinity , Ranking Joe , Scorcher , Little John , Super Cat and countless others had sung about Clarks in the past . Some of the most famous songs written about the Clarks shoes in Jamaica are Little Johns Clarks Booty and Vybz Kartels Clarks ( over 2.6 million hits on YouTube ) . Mods . While the Clarks Desert Boots became fashionable in the Beatnik Culture in the US , they became popular with youth in the UK after being adopted by Sixties Mods who wore them as part of both smart and casual clothing outfits . While the shoes are appropriate for a unisex look , they were particularly popular with male mods who wore them with military parkas , tailor-made suits with narrow lapels ( sometimes made of mohair ) , thin ties , button-down collar shirts , and wool or cashmere jumpers . Paris riots . The joint influences of the Beatniks and Mods made the Clarks Desert Boots ( Les Clarks ) popular among the Parisian students who wore them during the 1968 riots . The Clarks Desert Boots carried on through to the Mod Revival era of the Seventies and Eighties becoming a true Retro Mod Classic . They famously featured quite heavily in the 1979 Quadrophenia , Franc Roddams film adaptation of the Whos rock opera influencing in turn the Britpop movement of the 1990s . Rappers . The Clarks Wallabees in particular were adopted in recent times by the American rapper community . Their appeal can be traced to a wave of Jamaican immigrants who came to New York in the 1970s and paired Clarks shoes with suits . African-Americans saw it as an alternative to sneakers and jeans and incorporated it into their look , said Slick Rick , a rapper , whose parents were born in Jamaica and later moved to the Bronx . Its a way to be casual but not look like a scrub . The ladies like that . The shoe was long a staple of fashionable West Indians in New York City but towards the 1990s had fallen out of favor in hip-hop circles who tended to gravitate toward Timberland boots or sneakers . The rebirth of the Clarks Wallabees as a cool staple from mid-late 1990s is linked with New York-based hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan . Wu members ( RZA , GZA , Method Man , Raekwon , Ghostface Killah , Inspectah Deck , U-God , Masta Killa , and the late Ol Dirty Bastard ) and in particular Raekwon and Ghostface Killah wore Wallabees because not only they found them aesthetically pleasing but also since no other rapper was wearing them , they showed that they werent victims of the trends . They even featured the name of the shoe in the lyrics of several songs , engendering a revival of the Wallabees as a hip-hop staple by the mid-late 1990s . This justified Ghostface Killah to call himself Wally Champ and feature custom-dyed Wallabee shoes on the cover of his 1996 Ironman album . His 2008 compilation album was also called The Wallabee Champ . Breaking Bad . In the cult TV series , Breaking Bad , lead character Walter White ( played by Bryan Cranston ) morphs from a bland high school chemistry teacher into an all-powerful drug kingpin with trademark pork pie hat , black sunglasses and goatee , but he still wears Wallabees , just about the only shoe he wears from the beginning of the five-season series until its completion . Heritage . The Shoe Museum was established in 1950 by Laurence Barber at 40 High Street near the Clarks headquarters in Street , Somerset . Today the museum displays some 1,500 shoes as well as related exhibits , describing the development of shoes from Roman times and especially detailing the growth of Clarks shoes and shoemaking in Somerset . In 2002 , a charity called the Alfred Gillett Trust was established to care for the archives and collections of C&J Clark Ltd and the Clark family . Working closely with The Shoe Museum , the trusts collections include family and business archives , catalogues and sale materials , artwork and furniture , costume , film and sound archives , historic shoes and shoe making machinery . The trust is named after Alfred Gillett , a cousin of the companys founders and an amateur paleontologist ; some of his fossils are included in the trusts collection . The trust is based at The Grange , a Grade II listed building close to the museum in Street .

Who was the chief executive officer of C. & J. Clark between Oct 1967 and Mar 1970?
|
C . & ; J . Clark C . & J . Clark International Ltd , trading as Clarks , is a British international shoe manufacturer and retailer . It was founded in 1825 by Cyrus Clark in Street , Somerset , England – where it still has its headquarters . The company has 1,400 branded stores and franchises around the world and also sells through third-party distribution . Clarks also operated concessions in Mothercare stores . The company is commonly known for its Desert Boot , a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe rubber sole , usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) based on an unlined suede boot profile produced in the bazaars of Cairo and worn by British officers in the Second World War . For the year ending January 2013 , the company made a profit of £150 million on sales of £1,433m making it the 31st largest private company in the United Kingdom . More than half of its £1.4bn annualised sales to January were generated abroad , and since 2010 the company has moved into India , where it now has 25 stand-alone stores , and relaunched marketing in China , where it has opened 400 outlets in partnership with local footwear retailers . Clarks was 84% owned by the Clark family , with the remaining 16% held by employees and related institutions . In November 2020 , after a company voluntary arrangement , Clarks was rescued through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital , in which the Clarks family lost overall control of the company . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings agreed to acquire 51% of LionRock Capital , so has a substantial stake in the Clarks brand . History . 1825–1862 – Rugs , slippers and prizes . Origins of C . & J . Clark can be traced back to 1821 when Cyrus Clark ( 1801–1866 ) entered into a partnership with a Quaker cousin in the trade of fellmongering , wool-stapling and tanning in Street , Somerset . By 1825 , this partnership had been dissolved and Cyrus relocated to a site on the High Street in Street , utilising premises that belonged to his father-in-law to exploit his idea of making rugs out of sheepskins instead of pulling off the wool . C . & J . Clark recognise this as the beginning of their business and continue to occupy the site upon which Cyrus started to this very day . By 1828 , as the business had grown , Cyrus appointed his younger brother James ( 1811–1906 ) as an apprentice . Educated away from Street , James was meant to be apprentice to a chemist in Bath , but successfully pleaded with his parents to let him stay in Street and help Cyrus . In 1828–1829 , whilst serving this apprenticeship , James began utilising the offcuts that were too short for making rugs to produce slippers ( known as Brown Petersburgs ) . The slippers were made using outworkers who collected materials from the factory , assembled footwear in workshops at home and returned the finished product for payment . This trade rapidly evolved , providing James with a legitimate claim to an equal partnership in the business when his apprenticeship was served in 1833 . Thereafter , it traded as C . & J . Clark . The brothers developed national and international trade ( Ireland in the 1820s , Canada by the 1830s , Australia in the 1850s ) and were notably innovative , winning the gold medal at the Great Exhibition in 1851 for their gutta percha elongated galosh . 1863–1903 – Riding the storm . A couple of bad years that combined volatile market conditions , a certain lack of financial rigour and questionable planning brought the business to the brink of bankruptcy in 1863 . The local Quaker community stepped in and part of the bailout deal was the nomination of James eldest son , William Stephens Clark ( 1839–1925 ) to the helm of C . & J . Clark . William Clark put in place an accelerated repayment plan that saw indebtedness drop considerably to 1873 when he became a partner in the business with his father James . For the first time in Britain , William mechanised the shoemaking process and went on to establish C . & J . Clark both as a pioneer of new technology and as a champion of footwear innovation . James withdrew from the partnership in 1889 , to be replaced by his son Francis , Williams younger brother . In line with the familys Quaker values , the capital was also extended beyond the factory to benefit social initiatives in Street : a school was founded so that young men and women could combine working in the factory with continuing their education , a theatre was opened , a library was built , along with an open-air swimming pool and town hall . Playing fields were established for the benefit of all and low-cost housing was provided by the company for its employees . 1904–1945 – Style , technology and foot measuring . In 1903 the partnership arrangement was discontinued in favour of a private limited company . This enabled the succession to the third generation of family members as children of William Stephens Clark became life directors alongside Francis and himself . Tasked with specific responsibilities , Alice Clark , John Bright Clark and Roger Clark developed distinct roles . Brothers John Bright and Roger Clark studied American making processes and techniques with a view to appointing a suitable candidate experienced in the American factory system that they might bring to Street . John Walter Bostock from Lynn , Massachusetts was recruited in 1904 . The implementation was a resounding success and Bostock was made a director of the company in 1928 . A London Office , opened in the West End in 1908 , supplemented the shoemaking knowledge with style information . A reputation for high-quality goods available in the latest fashions , was established in the early 1910s , and remained until the Second World War . A premium quality Tor range was produced on the principles of standard lines , followed by a range of affordable fashionable footwear called Wessex . The company had its first national press advertisement in 1934 and entered formally into retailing in 1937 through the acquisition of Abbotts chain of shops based around London and the provinces . Peter Lord was created by Hugh Bryan Clark as a retail brand to avoid alarming agents or alerting competitors to the companys activities . It steadily evolved into a national network of stores . Growing awareness that bad feet were the product of ill-fitting shoes determined Bostock to devise a new shoe fitting system based on the detailed analysis of thousands of foot measurements taken from local school children . In line with the findings the company launched its new childrens ranges in 1945 with a choice of four width fittings , simultaneously with the new Clarks foot gauge that acted as a scientific measuring instrument to aid the shop assistant . 1946–1995 – Growth and challenges . Expansion of the business post-war was largely initiated by fourth-generation family members : Bancroft Clark , appointed Managing Director and Chairman in 1942 and his cousins , Anthony Clark and Peter Clothier , accountable for Sales/Marketing and Manufacturing respectively . The start-up or acquisition of additional manufacturing facilities ( peaking at 17 domestic factories ) across the South West and South East of England and South Wales meant that the companys volume market share in the UK increased from 1.1 per cent in 1945 to 9 per cent by 1970 . Foreign manufacturing was also sought through agreements with existing domestic manufacturers : Ireland in the 1930s with Australia , Canada and South Africa added in the 1940s and 1950s . Nathan Clark ( younger brother of Bancroft ) negotiated a number of these agreements in his capacity as Overseas Manager until 1952 . Bancroft retired in 1967 . His son , Daniel Clark succeeded Peter Clothier as Managing Director in 1973 , with Anthony Clark remaining as Chairman . He retired in 1974 , when his son , Lance Clark , was appointed Managing Director of the manufacturing and wholesaling division . In 1974 Clarks bought the fashionable Ravel , Pinet and Mondaine . The company acquired K Shoes , based in Kendal , Cumbria to salvage it from a hostile takeover . The closure of factories started in 1978 , and continued throughout the 1980s . Daniel Clark resigned in 1986 replaced by John Clothier ( son of Peter ) who remained CEO throughout the turbulent buy-out negotiations with Berisford International Plc , a properties commodities group that attempted to take the troubled company public . While the proposal was defeated by shareholders at the EGM convened on 7 May 1993 it was also decided to move away from direct family management to professional managers , who would rationalise the business , and would be more comfortable with making the changes needed for its recovery . 1996–present : Worldwide growth and a global brand . The appointment of Tim Parker as CEO in 1996 was made on the initiation of the newly elected Chairman , Roger Pedder . Clarks format was radically changed with the Act Your Shoe Size Not Your Age Campaign in 1997 , which contributed to a freshening of the brand . Completion of the transition from manufacturing to a wholesaling and branded retailing business was conducted by Parkers successor , Peter Bolliger , who became CEO in 2002 . Closure of the companys remaining manufacturing interests meant that the last Clarks UK factory ceased production in 2005 followed by the last K factory in 2006 . Production was relocated off-shore , using third party factories , predominantly located in Asia . Transformation of retail and investment to modernise company infrastructure and systems was also completed . Street consequently remains the epicentre for company operations , a distribution facility having been constructed in the village in 2005 with the capacity to process 1 million pairs of shoes per week . Former CEO , Melissa Potter , who was appointed in 2010 , re-organized the business in four regions Americas , Asia Pacific , Europe and United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland ( from February 2013 ) , the re-launch in China , the move into India , the launch of the online business and the increased focus on building a global brand . Melissa Potter stepped down as CEO in September 2015 . Non-executive chairman Thomas O’Neill lead the business until 2017 when Mike Shearwood was appointed as the new CEO . Then following Shearwoods resignation in June 2018 , Stella David was announced as In-term CEO . In February 2019 Giorgio Presca was announced as the new CEO , Stella David returned to her role on the board . In May 2018 , the company announced that it would build a new production plant next to its headquarters in Street , Somerset . The £3 million factory would see the latest in robot technology and create 80 jobs and produce over 300,000 pairs of Desert Shoes per year . In November 2020 , Clarks announced a rescue plan through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital after a company voluntary arrangement ( CVA ) , a form of insolvency , in which the Clarks family will lose overall control of the company . The CVA requires the agreement of landlords , who would receive a percentage of turnover as rent , and creditors . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings has agreed to acquire 51 per cent of LionRock Capital Partners QiLe Limited , the private equity firm which will own the Clarks brand , for £51 million . The majority owner of Viva China Holdings is entrepreneur Li Ning , a former Olympic gold medal winner for China . This resulted in Victor Herrero , a Spanish executive and former CEO of Guess , being named as the new Clarks CEO in March of 2021 . Prior to his appointment as CEO , he served as a board member to Clarks since April 2019 . Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) . The history of C&J Clarks representation in America dates back to 1950 and the formation of Clarks of England Inc . Initiated by Bronson Davis , a car salesman , who had seen the Desert Boot at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . Davis established a sales organization covering 150 accounts with outlets that stocked Clarks products , predominantly Desert Boots . He also sponsored advertisements for Clarks shoes in The New Yorker and Esquire magazines . Davis established relations with some of Americas most prestigious retailers ; Abercrombie & Fitch , Neiman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue . The coverage for the Desert Boot was consolidated by advertising that targeted the campus trade of Berkeley , Cornell , Harvard , North Carolina and Yale Universities through ads in Esquire and college magazines . A young salesman named Robert ( Bob ) Cullerton followed Bronson Davis at the lead in America . Appointed President in April 1961 , he inherited a business focussed on the provision of mens casuals and the Desert Boot . He appointed designer Nancy Knox to create a new range advertised via Playboy and Gentlemens Quarterly . In parallel with American developments , C&J Clark Ltd . acquired the Blachford Shoe Manufacturing Co . Ltd . of Toronto in 1952 , establishing a foothold in Canada led by Hugh Woods and Harold Hughes . Similarities between the businesses in Canada and North America meant Cullerton , Woods and Hughes quickly collaborated . They developed a clear vision of what womens sandals and shoes were required to supplement the demand for mens casual offerings . An Italian resourcing programme was started by Woods in 1960 to get more style and variety into the ranges . Offices were opened in the Empire State Building , New York in April 1964 . Sales were also buoyed by the introduction of the Wallabee in the late 1960s and expansion towards the West Coast . Wholesaling interests were complemented with retail from the late 1970s through the acquisition of Hanover Shoes Inc . who owned 220 retail shops . At the same time C&J Clark decided to bring together its North American interests under one corporation to operate Hanover , Clarks of England and Clarks Canada . The business grew further in 1979 through the acquisition of Bostonian , a well-respected mens dress shoe brand , adding 25 more shop locations as well as entry into 70 leased stores and discounting outlets . Responsibility for Clarks Canada and Clarks of England was transferred to the C&J Clarks HQ in Street in 1986 . Clarks of England and Clarks Canada officially merged in 1987 to provide more operational efficiencies and more consistency of product offering for North America . Bob Infantino became CEO of the North American operations in 1992 , taking a key role in consolidating the manufacturing , retailing , and wholesaling activities in America into one company : Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) from 1995 . By 1998 , CCNA became principally a wholesaling business , serving 170 owned retail locations and 3,600 third party wholesale accounts , representing 14,200 retail outlets . Sales increased by 57 per cent from 1995 to 2001 , profits rose five-fold . Infantino left the company in 2010 , replaced by Jim Salzano who was at the helm of the North American business until 2013 , when CCNA officially became the Americas Region , one of the four regions resulting as part of the re-organization initiated by Melissa Potter . Since March 2016 Gary Champion has led the Americas Region as president , also serving on the Global Leadership Team . Products . School shoes . In the United Kingdom , Clarks has long been a popular choice of parents as a place to purchase school shoes for children to wear upon returning to school following the summer holidays . The Independent UK newspaper ranked Clarks as the number one provider of school shoes in the United Kingdom in 2017 , highlighting that it has been providing quality shoes for over 170 years and highlighting the fact that Clarks is one of only a few manufacturers of school shoes to be provided in half sizes . Part of the reason , despite being long-lasting and durable , parents have opted for Clarks school shoes for their children is that almost every Clarks design of school shoes has been classed as acceptable shoes in line with most primary and secondary school uniform policies . In recent years , notably in mid–2010s , schools have reviewed their uniform policies and have instead identified a few of Clarks designs for school shoes as being unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy of the school . In 2016 , nationwide attention was gathered after 12-year-old Alfie Ingerfeild from Bristol was sent home from school at the beginning of the new school term in September after wearing a pair of Harlem Spin shoes from Clarks Bootleg school shoe range . The school , Mangotsfield School , claimed that the Harlem Spin design was too much like trainers and therefore classed them as unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy , so much so to the extent that the Deputy Head Teacher of Mangotsfield School said that should the shoes be worn the following school then the pupil would be asked to remove them and forced to wear shoes from lost property . This is despite the fact that the Harlem Spin shoes were advertised by Clarks as being school shoes – Clarks did not give a statement in regards to the incident and questions over the design of the Harlem Spin shoes . In 2017 , a particular style of Mary Jane shoes called Dolly Babe was compared unfavourably to Clarks own Leader school shoe for boys , with parents and ministers both accusing the company of sexism and gender stereotypes – the Mary Janes in question being viewed as flimsy and stereotypically feminine with a heart-print insole and a heart-shaped charm on the toe box while the boys shoe was seen as sturdier . The company soon apologised over the matter and withdrew the shoe from sale . Clarks also issued a statement saying it would commit to designing gender-neutral footwear following customer feedback . In March 2018 , two pupils from Kearsley Academy were sent home from school due to their school shoes , both purchased from Clarks , for looking too much like trainers . The shoes in question were both purchased from Clarks Bootleg range , a designated brand of school shoes from Clarks marketed for older children and teenagers . Joyance sandal . During the 20th century , Clarks established a reputation for quality childrens footwear . The crepe rubber soled Joyance T-bar sandal for both boys and girls was one of their most popular designs . Launched in 1933 , it continued in production until 1972 . Desert Boot . The companys best-known product is the Desert Boot – a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe sole usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) . Nathan Clark was an officer in the Royal Army Service Corps posted to Burma in 1941 with orders to help establish a supply route from Rangoon to the Chinese forces at Chongqing whilst also launching a series of offensives throughout South East Asia . Before leaving home his brother Bancroft had given him the mission to gather any information on footwear that might be of use to the company whilst he was travelling the world . The Desert Boot was the result of this mission . His discovery of the Desert Boot was made either at Staff College in 1944 or on leave in Kashmir where three divisions of the old Eighth Army ( transferred to the Far East from North Africa ) were wearing ankle-high suede boots manufactured in the bazaars of Cairo . Nathan sent sketches and rough patterns back to Bancroft , but no trials were made until after he returned to Street and cut the patterns himself . The Desert Boot was cut on the mens Guernsey Sandal last and sampled in a neutral beige-grey 2mm chrome bend split suede . The companys Stock Committee reacted badly to the sample and dismissed the idea as it would never sell . It was only in his capacity as Overseas Development Manager that Nathan had any success with the shoe after introducing it to Oskar Schoefler ( Fashion Editor , Esquire Magazine ) at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . He gave them substantial editorial credits with colour photographs in Esquire in early 1950 . Bronson Davies subsequently saw these articles and applied to represent the company in selling them across the US , long before they were available in the UK . The Desert Boot was initially sold in Britain through shops in Regent Street , featuring a Union Jack sewn into the label , targeted at tourists . Lance Clark is widely credited with popularising them in Europe during the 1960s . The Desert Boot have been manufactured at Shepton Mallet , small scale production having initially occurred at Street . During the course of time , Whitecross factory in Weston-Super-Mare was subcontracted to relieve Shepton factory of the manufacture of the Desert Boot , before the Bushacre factory at Locking Road , Weston-Super-Mare was constructed in 1958 . The Desert Boot was manufactured there until the closure of the factory in 2001 . Clarks announced in July 2017 , it was restarting manufacturing Desert Boots , using a new manufacturing unit featuring robot-assisted technology , at its headquarters in Street , Somerset . Up to 300,000 pairs a year of desert boots were to be made at the unit , creating up to eighty technical and managerial jobs . However , in January 2019 the company announced that this unit was to be closed , after failing to meet production targets . Wallabee . Produced by Clarks from 1967 and based on a moccasin called the Grashopper , launched in 1964 , by the German company Sioux , the Wallabee brand was manufactured at the Padmore and Barnes factory based in Kilkenny , Ireland , which Clarks had acquired in 1963 and continued to operate until its closure in 1987 , when it was the subject of a management buy-out . Managed by Lance Clark who was responsible for having negotiated the licence to produce the shoes in Kilkenny and arranged for the factory staff to be trained in the production of moccasin shoes , the product took off once the decision was taken to market it in North America in 1968 . As General Manager of the factory , Paddy Roberts took the shoe to a trade fair in New York in the same year , whereupon he quickly learnt that the trademark Grasshopper had been licensed . In conjunction with Jack Rose-Smith ( Clarks Overseas Shoes Export Manager ) , Bob Cullerton ( the President for Clarks in America/Clarks of England ) , Hugh Woods ( Managing Director of Clarks Canada ) , Roberts trademarked the name Wallabee . Desert Trek . Another style associated with the Lance Clark who had seen a Zwartjes version of the shoe on the feet of artist , Sonja Landweer in the late 1960s . An artist in residence at the Kilkenny Design Workshops , where she had come into contact with Lance Clark , Landweers shoes became the basis for production of the Trek which was first attempted at Clarks factory in Dundalk . This was more attuned to the construction of stitch-down footwear . The shoe was initially launched in North America in 1971 as Trek , before featuring in the UK range in 1972 where it was renamed Hike , owing to an existing footwear trademark . The Trek man that first featured on the shoe was drafted by Lance Clark and refined by the advertising manager in Dundalk , Bob Patten . Popular culture . Some Clarks styles ( particularly the Desert Boot , Wallabee & Desert Trek ) were widely adopted as cultural icons by different subcultures and featured in songs as well as popular films and TV series . Jamaica . The most referenced is the popularity of the Clarks shoes in Jamaica and the association with the Jamaican rude boys movement . According to DJ , producer and cultural historian Al Fingers in his book , Clarks in Jamaica , this trend started in the late 1960s when the emerging youth culture of the recently independent Jamaica adopted the Clarks shoes as part of their uniform . The original gangster rude boy dem , a Clarks dem wear , producer Jah Thomas tells Fingers in the book . And in Jamaica a rude boy him nah wear cheap ting . Writes Fingers , In the early 70s , the rude boy/desert boot association became so strong that young males risked a beating by police simply for wearing a pair . You must be a thief , the police would say . How else would you afford such expensive Clarks ? He tells the story of an infamous Kingston police officer called Joe Williams , who carried out a raid on a dance being run by producer and label boss Sir Coxsone Dodd . The DJ Dennis Alcapone recalls the arrival of Superintendent Williams : He tell the DJ to turn the sound down , and he say : All whos wearing Clarks booty , stand on that side of the dance . And whos not wearing Clarks booty stand on this side . Because he knows that rude boys wear them , so that is a way of identifying them . Reggae and dancehall stars Dillinger , Trinity , Ranking Joe , Scorcher , Little John , Super Cat and countless others had sung about Clarks in the past . Some of the most famous songs written about the Clarks shoes in Jamaica are Little Johns Clarks Booty and Vybz Kartels Clarks ( over 2.6 million hits on YouTube ) . Mods . While the Clarks Desert Boots became fashionable in the Beatnik Culture in the US , they became popular with youth in the UK after being adopted by Sixties Mods who wore them as part of both smart and casual clothing outfits . While the shoes are appropriate for a unisex look , they were particularly popular with male mods who wore them with military parkas , tailor-made suits with narrow lapels ( sometimes made of mohair ) , thin ties , button-down collar shirts , and wool or cashmere jumpers . Paris riots . The joint influences of the Beatniks and Mods made the Clarks Desert Boots ( Les Clarks ) popular among the Parisian students who wore them during the 1968 riots . The Clarks Desert Boots carried on through to the Mod Revival era of the Seventies and Eighties becoming a true Retro Mod Classic . They famously featured quite heavily in the 1979 Quadrophenia , Franc Roddams film adaptation of the Whos rock opera influencing in turn the Britpop movement of the 1990s . Rappers . The Clarks Wallabees in particular were adopted in recent times by the American rapper community . Their appeal can be traced to a wave of Jamaican immigrants who came to New York in the 1970s and paired Clarks shoes with suits . African-Americans saw it as an alternative to sneakers and jeans and incorporated it into their look , said Slick Rick , a rapper , whose parents were born in Jamaica and later moved to the Bronx . Its a way to be casual but not look like a scrub . The ladies like that . The shoe was long a staple of fashionable West Indians in New York City but towards the 1990s had fallen out of favor in hip-hop circles who tended to gravitate toward Timberland boots or sneakers . The rebirth of the Clarks Wallabees as a cool staple from mid-late 1990s is linked with New York-based hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan . Wu members ( RZA , GZA , Method Man , Raekwon , Ghostface Killah , Inspectah Deck , U-God , Masta Killa , and the late Ol Dirty Bastard ) and in particular Raekwon and Ghostface Killah wore Wallabees because not only they found them aesthetically pleasing but also since no other rapper was wearing them , they showed that they werent victims of the trends . They even featured the name of the shoe in the lyrics of several songs , engendering a revival of the Wallabees as a hip-hop staple by the mid-late 1990s . This justified Ghostface Killah to call himself Wally Champ and feature custom-dyed Wallabee shoes on the cover of his 1996 Ironman album . His 2008 compilation album was also called The Wallabee Champ . Breaking Bad . In the cult TV series , Breaking Bad , lead character Walter White ( played by Bryan Cranston ) morphs from a bland high school chemistry teacher into an all-powerful drug kingpin with trademark pork pie hat , black sunglasses and goatee , but he still wears Wallabees , just about the only shoe he wears from the beginning of the five-season series until its completion . Heritage . The Shoe Museum was established in 1950 by Laurence Barber at 40 High Street near the Clarks headquarters in Street , Somerset . Today the museum displays some 1,500 shoes as well as related exhibits , describing the development of shoes from Roman times and especially detailing the growth of Clarks shoes and shoemaking in Somerset . In 2002 , a charity called the Alfred Gillett Trust was established to care for the archives and collections of C&J Clark Ltd and the Clark family . Working closely with The Shoe Museum , the trusts collections include family and business archives , catalogues and sale materials , artwork and furniture , costume , film and sound archives , historic shoes and shoe making machinery . The trust is named after Alfred Gillett , a cousin of the companys founders and an amateur paleontologist ; some of his fossils are included in the trusts collection . The trust is based at The Grange , a Grade II listed building close to the museum in Street .

Who was the chief executive officer of C. & J. Clark in Oct 1974?
|
C . & ; J . Clark C . & J . Clark International Ltd , trading as Clarks , is a British international shoe manufacturer and retailer . It was founded in 1825 by Cyrus Clark in Street , Somerset , England – where it still has its headquarters . The company has 1,400 branded stores and franchises around the world and also sells through third-party distribution . Clarks also operated concessions in Mothercare stores . The company is commonly known for its Desert Boot , a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe rubber sole , usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) based on an unlined suede boot profile produced in the bazaars of Cairo and worn by British officers in the Second World War . For the year ending January 2013 , the company made a profit of £150 million on sales of £1,433m making it the 31st largest private company in the United Kingdom . More than half of its £1.4bn annualised sales to January were generated abroad , and since 2010 the company has moved into India , where it now has 25 stand-alone stores , and relaunched marketing in China , where it has opened 400 outlets in partnership with local footwear retailers . Clarks was 84% owned by the Clark family , with the remaining 16% held by employees and related institutions . In November 2020 , after a company voluntary arrangement , Clarks was rescued through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital , in which the Clarks family lost overall control of the company . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings agreed to acquire 51% of LionRock Capital , so has a substantial stake in the Clarks brand . History . 1825–1862 – Rugs , slippers and prizes . Origins of C . & J . Clark can be traced back to 1821 when Cyrus Clark ( 1801–1866 ) entered into a partnership with a Quaker cousin in the trade of fellmongering , wool-stapling and tanning in Street , Somerset . By 1825 , this partnership had been dissolved and Cyrus relocated to a site on the High Street in Street , utilising premises that belonged to his father-in-law to exploit his idea of making rugs out of sheepskins instead of pulling off the wool . C . & J . Clark recognise this as the beginning of their business and continue to occupy the site upon which Cyrus started to this very day . By 1828 , as the business had grown , Cyrus appointed his younger brother James ( 1811–1906 ) as an apprentice . Educated away from Street , James was meant to be apprentice to a chemist in Bath , but successfully pleaded with his parents to let him stay in Street and help Cyrus . In 1828–1829 , whilst serving this apprenticeship , James began utilising the offcuts that were too short for making rugs to produce slippers ( known as Brown Petersburgs ) . The slippers were made using outworkers who collected materials from the factory , assembled footwear in workshops at home and returned the finished product for payment . This trade rapidly evolved , providing James with a legitimate claim to an equal partnership in the business when his apprenticeship was served in 1833 . Thereafter , it traded as C . & J . Clark . The brothers developed national and international trade ( Ireland in the 1820s , Canada by the 1830s , Australia in the 1850s ) and were notably innovative , winning the gold medal at the Great Exhibition in 1851 for their gutta percha elongated galosh . 1863–1903 – Riding the storm . A couple of bad years that combined volatile market conditions , a certain lack of financial rigour and questionable planning brought the business to the brink of bankruptcy in 1863 . The local Quaker community stepped in and part of the bailout deal was the nomination of James eldest son , William Stephens Clark ( 1839–1925 ) to the helm of C . & J . Clark . William Clark put in place an accelerated repayment plan that saw indebtedness drop considerably to 1873 when he became a partner in the business with his father James . For the first time in Britain , William mechanised the shoemaking process and went on to establish C . & J . Clark both as a pioneer of new technology and as a champion of footwear innovation . James withdrew from the partnership in 1889 , to be replaced by his son Francis , Williams younger brother . In line with the familys Quaker values , the capital was also extended beyond the factory to benefit social initiatives in Street : a school was founded so that young men and women could combine working in the factory with continuing their education , a theatre was opened , a library was built , along with an open-air swimming pool and town hall . Playing fields were established for the benefit of all and low-cost housing was provided by the company for its employees . 1904–1945 – Style , technology and foot measuring . In 1903 the partnership arrangement was discontinued in favour of a private limited company . This enabled the succession to the third generation of family members as children of William Stephens Clark became life directors alongside Francis and himself . Tasked with specific responsibilities , Alice Clark , John Bright Clark and Roger Clark developed distinct roles . Brothers John Bright and Roger Clark studied American making processes and techniques with a view to appointing a suitable candidate experienced in the American factory system that they might bring to Street . John Walter Bostock from Lynn , Massachusetts was recruited in 1904 . The implementation was a resounding success and Bostock was made a director of the company in 1928 . A London Office , opened in the West End in 1908 , supplemented the shoemaking knowledge with style information . A reputation for high-quality goods available in the latest fashions , was established in the early 1910s , and remained until the Second World War . A premium quality Tor range was produced on the principles of standard lines , followed by a range of affordable fashionable footwear called Wessex . The company had its first national press advertisement in 1934 and entered formally into retailing in 1937 through the acquisition of Abbotts chain of shops based around London and the provinces . Peter Lord was created by Hugh Bryan Clark as a retail brand to avoid alarming agents or alerting competitors to the companys activities . It steadily evolved into a national network of stores . Growing awareness that bad feet were the product of ill-fitting shoes determined Bostock to devise a new shoe fitting system based on the detailed analysis of thousands of foot measurements taken from local school children . In line with the findings the company launched its new childrens ranges in 1945 with a choice of four width fittings , simultaneously with the new Clarks foot gauge that acted as a scientific measuring instrument to aid the shop assistant . 1946–1995 – Growth and challenges . Expansion of the business post-war was largely initiated by fourth-generation family members : Bancroft Clark , appointed Managing Director and Chairman in 1942 and his cousins , Anthony Clark and Peter Clothier , accountable for Sales/Marketing and Manufacturing respectively . The start-up or acquisition of additional manufacturing facilities ( peaking at 17 domestic factories ) across the South West and South East of England and South Wales meant that the companys volume market share in the UK increased from 1.1 per cent in 1945 to 9 per cent by 1970 . Foreign manufacturing was also sought through agreements with existing domestic manufacturers : Ireland in the 1930s with Australia , Canada and South Africa added in the 1940s and 1950s . Nathan Clark ( younger brother of Bancroft ) negotiated a number of these agreements in his capacity as Overseas Manager until 1952 . Bancroft retired in 1967 . His son , Daniel Clark succeeded Peter Clothier as Managing Director in 1973 , with Anthony Clark remaining as Chairman . He retired in 1974 , when his son , Lance Clark , was appointed Managing Director of the manufacturing and wholesaling division . In 1974 Clarks bought the fashionable Ravel , Pinet and Mondaine . The company acquired K Shoes , based in Kendal , Cumbria to salvage it from a hostile takeover . The closure of factories started in 1978 , and continued throughout the 1980s . Daniel Clark resigned in 1986 replaced by John Clothier ( son of Peter ) who remained CEO throughout the turbulent buy-out negotiations with Berisford International Plc , a properties commodities group that attempted to take the troubled company public . While the proposal was defeated by shareholders at the EGM convened on 7 May 1993 it was also decided to move away from direct family management to professional managers , who would rationalise the business , and would be more comfortable with making the changes needed for its recovery . 1996–present : Worldwide growth and a global brand . The appointment of Tim Parker as CEO in 1996 was made on the initiation of the newly elected Chairman , Roger Pedder . Clarks format was radically changed with the Act Your Shoe Size Not Your Age Campaign in 1997 , which contributed to a freshening of the brand . Completion of the transition from manufacturing to a wholesaling and branded retailing business was conducted by Parkers successor , Peter Bolliger , who became CEO in 2002 . Closure of the companys remaining manufacturing interests meant that the last Clarks UK factory ceased production in 2005 followed by the last K factory in 2006 . Production was relocated off-shore , using third party factories , predominantly located in Asia . Transformation of retail and investment to modernise company infrastructure and systems was also completed . Street consequently remains the epicentre for company operations , a distribution facility having been constructed in the village in 2005 with the capacity to process 1 million pairs of shoes per week . Former CEO , Melissa Potter , who was appointed in 2010 , re-organized the business in four regions Americas , Asia Pacific , Europe and United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland ( from February 2013 ) , the re-launch in China , the move into India , the launch of the online business and the increased focus on building a global brand . Melissa Potter stepped down as CEO in September 2015 . Non-executive chairman Thomas O’Neill lead the business until 2017 when Mike Shearwood was appointed as the new CEO . Then following Shearwoods resignation in June 2018 , Stella David was announced as In-term CEO . In February 2019 Giorgio Presca was announced as the new CEO , Stella David returned to her role on the board . In May 2018 , the company announced that it would build a new production plant next to its headquarters in Street , Somerset . The £3 million factory would see the latest in robot technology and create 80 jobs and produce over 300,000 pairs of Desert Shoes per year . In November 2020 , Clarks announced a rescue plan through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital after a company voluntary arrangement ( CVA ) , a form of insolvency , in which the Clarks family will lose overall control of the company . The CVA requires the agreement of landlords , who would receive a percentage of turnover as rent , and creditors . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings has agreed to acquire 51 per cent of LionRock Capital Partners QiLe Limited , the private equity firm which will own the Clarks brand , for £51 million . The majority owner of Viva China Holdings is entrepreneur Li Ning , a former Olympic gold medal winner for China . This resulted in Victor Herrero , a Spanish executive and former CEO of Guess , being named as the new Clarks CEO in March of 2021 . Prior to his appointment as CEO , he served as a board member to Clarks since April 2019 . Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) . The history of C&J Clarks representation in America dates back to 1950 and the formation of Clarks of England Inc . Initiated by Bronson Davis , a car salesman , who had seen the Desert Boot at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . Davis established a sales organization covering 150 accounts with outlets that stocked Clarks products , predominantly Desert Boots . He also sponsored advertisements for Clarks shoes in The New Yorker and Esquire magazines . Davis established relations with some of Americas most prestigious retailers ; Abercrombie & Fitch , Neiman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue . The coverage for the Desert Boot was consolidated by advertising that targeted the campus trade of Berkeley , Cornell , Harvard , North Carolina and Yale Universities through ads in Esquire and college magazines . A young salesman named Robert ( Bob ) Cullerton followed Bronson Davis at the lead in America . Appointed President in April 1961 , he inherited a business focussed on the provision of mens casuals and the Desert Boot . He appointed designer Nancy Knox to create a new range advertised via Playboy and Gentlemens Quarterly . In parallel with American developments , C&J Clark Ltd . acquired the Blachford Shoe Manufacturing Co . Ltd . of Toronto in 1952 , establishing a foothold in Canada led by Hugh Woods and Harold Hughes . Similarities between the businesses in Canada and North America meant Cullerton , Woods and Hughes quickly collaborated . They developed a clear vision of what womens sandals and shoes were required to supplement the demand for mens casual offerings . An Italian resourcing programme was started by Woods in 1960 to get more style and variety into the ranges . Offices were opened in the Empire State Building , New York in April 1964 . Sales were also buoyed by the introduction of the Wallabee in the late 1960s and expansion towards the West Coast . Wholesaling interests were complemented with retail from the late 1970s through the acquisition of Hanover Shoes Inc . who owned 220 retail shops . At the same time C&J Clark decided to bring together its North American interests under one corporation to operate Hanover , Clarks of England and Clarks Canada . The business grew further in 1979 through the acquisition of Bostonian , a well-respected mens dress shoe brand , adding 25 more shop locations as well as entry into 70 leased stores and discounting outlets . Responsibility for Clarks Canada and Clarks of England was transferred to the C&J Clarks HQ in Street in 1986 . Clarks of England and Clarks Canada officially merged in 1987 to provide more operational efficiencies and more consistency of product offering for North America . Bob Infantino became CEO of the North American operations in 1992 , taking a key role in consolidating the manufacturing , retailing , and wholesaling activities in America into one company : Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) from 1995 . By 1998 , CCNA became principally a wholesaling business , serving 170 owned retail locations and 3,600 third party wholesale accounts , representing 14,200 retail outlets . Sales increased by 57 per cent from 1995 to 2001 , profits rose five-fold . Infantino left the company in 2010 , replaced by Jim Salzano who was at the helm of the North American business until 2013 , when CCNA officially became the Americas Region , one of the four regions resulting as part of the re-organization initiated by Melissa Potter . Since March 2016 Gary Champion has led the Americas Region as president , also serving on the Global Leadership Team . Products . School shoes . In the United Kingdom , Clarks has long been a popular choice of parents as a place to purchase school shoes for children to wear upon returning to school following the summer holidays . The Independent UK newspaper ranked Clarks as the number one provider of school shoes in the United Kingdom in 2017 , highlighting that it has been providing quality shoes for over 170 years and highlighting the fact that Clarks is one of only a few manufacturers of school shoes to be provided in half sizes . Part of the reason , despite being long-lasting and durable , parents have opted for Clarks school shoes for their children is that almost every Clarks design of school shoes has been classed as acceptable shoes in line with most primary and secondary school uniform policies . In recent years , notably in mid–2010s , schools have reviewed their uniform policies and have instead identified a few of Clarks designs for school shoes as being unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy of the school . In 2016 , nationwide attention was gathered after 12-year-old Alfie Ingerfeild from Bristol was sent home from school at the beginning of the new school term in September after wearing a pair of Harlem Spin shoes from Clarks Bootleg school shoe range . The school , Mangotsfield School , claimed that the Harlem Spin design was too much like trainers and therefore classed them as unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy , so much so to the extent that the Deputy Head Teacher of Mangotsfield School said that should the shoes be worn the following school then the pupil would be asked to remove them and forced to wear shoes from lost property . This is despite the fact that the Harlem Spin shoes were advertised by Clarks as being school shoes – Clarks did not give a statement in regards to the incident and questions over the design of the Harlem Spin shoes . In 2017 , a particular style of Mary Jane shoes called Dolly Babe was compared unfavourably to Clarks own Leader school shoe for boys , with parents and ministers both accusing the company of sexism and gender stereotypes – the Mary Janes in question being viewed as flimsy and stereotypically feminine with a heart-print insole and a heart-shaped charm on the toe box while the boys shoe was seen as sturdier . The company soon apologised over the matter and withdrew the shoe from sale . Clarks also issued a statement saying it would commit to designing gender-neutral footwear following customer feedback . In March 2018 , two pupils from Kearsley Academy were sent home from school due to their school shoes , both purchased from Clarks , for looking too much like trainers . The shoes in question were both purchased from Clarks Bootleg range , a designated brand of school shoes from Clarks marketed for older children and teenagers . Joyance sandal . During the 20th century , Clarks established a reputation for quality childrens footwear . The crepe rubber soled Joyance T-bar sandal for both boys and girls was one of their most popular designs . Launched in 1933 , it continued in production until 1972 . Desert Boot . The companys best-known product is the Desert Boot – a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe sole usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) . Nathan Clark was an officer in the Royal Army Service Corps posted to Burma in 1941 with orders to help establish a supply route from Rangoon to the Chinese forces at Chongqing whilst also launching a series of offensives throughout South East Asia . Before leaving home his brother Bancroft had given him the mission to gather any information on footwear that might be of use to the company whilst he was travelling the world . The Desert Boot was the result of this mission . His discovery of the Desert Boot was made either at Staff College in 1944 or on leave in Kashmir where three divisions of the old Eighth Army ( transferred to the Far East from North Africa ) were wearing ankle-high suede boots manufactured in the bazaars of Cairo . Nathan sent sketches and rough patterns back to Bancroft , but no trials were made until after he returned to Street and cut the patterns himself . The Desert Boot was cut on the mens Guernsey Sandal last and sampled in a neutral beige-grey 2mm chrome bend split suede . The companys Stock Committee reacted badly to the sample and dismissed the idea as it would never sell . It was only in his capacity as Overseas Development Manager that Nathan had any success with the shoe after introducing it to Oskar Schoefler ( Fashion Editor , Esquire Magazine ) at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . He gave them substantial editorial credits with colour photographs in Esquire in early 1950 . Bronson Davies subsequently saw these articles and applied to represent the company in selling them across the US , long before they were available in the UK . The Desert Boot was initially sold in Britain through shops in Regent Street , featuring a Union Jack sewn into the label , targeted at tourists . Lance Clark is widely credited with popularising them in Europe during the 1960s . The Desert Boot have been manufactured at Shepton Mallet , small scale production having initially occurred at Street . During the course of time , Whitecross factory in Weston-Super-Mare was subcontracted to relieve Shepton factory of the manufacture of the Desert Boot , before the Bushacre factory at Locking Road , Weston-Super-Mare was constructed in 1958 . The Desert Boot was manufactured there until the closure of the factory in 2001 . Clarks announced in July 2017 , it was restarting manufacturing Desert Boots , using a new manufacturing unit featuring robot-assisted technology , at its headquarters in Street , Somerset . Up to 300,000 pairs a year of desert boots were to be made at the unit , creating up to eighty technical and managerial jobs . However , in January 2019 the company announced that this unit was to be closed , after failing to meet production targets . Wallabee . Produced by Clarks from 1967 and based on a moccasin called the Grashopper , launched in 1964 , by the German company Sioux , the Wallabee brand was manufactured at the Padmore and Barnes factory based in Kilkenny , Ireland , which Clarks had acquired in 1963 and continued to operate until its closure in 1987 , when it was the subject of a management buy-out . Managed by Lance Clark who was responsible for having negotiated the licence to produce the shoes in Kilkenny and arranged for the factory staff to be trained in the production of moccasin shoes , the product took off once the decision was taken to market it in North America in 1968 . As General Manager of the factory , Paddy Roberts took the shoe to a trade fair in New York in the same year , whereupon he quickly learnt that the trademark Grasshopper had been licensed . In conjunction with Jack Rose-Smith ( Clarks Overseas Shoes Export Manager ) , Bob Cullerton ( the President for Clarks in America/Clarks of England ) , Hugh Woods ( Managing Director of Clarks Canada ) , Roberts trademarked the name Wallabee . Desert Trek . Another style associated with the Lance Clark who had seen a Zwartjes version of the shoe on the feet of artist , Sonja Landweer in the late 1960s . An artist in residence at the Kilkenny Design Workshops , where she had come into contact with Lance Clark , Landweers shoes became the basis for production of the Trek which was first attempted at Clarks factory in Dundalk . This was more attuned to the construction of stitch-down footwear . The shoe was initially launched in North America in 1971 as Trek , before featuring in the UK range in 1972 where it was renamed Hike , owing to an existing footwear trademark . The Trek man that first featured on the shoe was drafted by Lance Clark and refined by the advertising manager in Dundalk , Bob Patten . Popular culture . Some Clarks styles ( particularly the Desert Boot , Wallabee & Desert Trek ) were widely adopted as cultural icons by different subcultures and featured in songs as well as popular films and TV series . Jamaica . The most referenced is the popularity of the Clarks shoes in Jamaica and the association with the Jamaican rude boys movement . According to DJ , producer and cultural historian Al Fingers in his book , Clarks in Jamaica , this trend started in the late 1960s when the emerging youth culture of the recently independent Jamaica adopted the Clarks shoes as part of their uniform . The original gangster rude boy dem , a Clarks dem wear , producer Jah Thomas tells Fingers in the book . And in Jamaica a rude boy him nah wear cheap ting . Writes Fingers , In the early 70s , the rude boy/desert boot association became so strong that young males risked a beating by police simply for wearing a pair . You must be a thief , the police would say . How else would you afford such expensive Clarks ? He tells the story of an infamous Kingston police officer called Joe Williams , who carried out a raid on a dance being run by producer and label boss Sir Coxsone Dodd . The DJ Dennis Alcapone recalls the arrival of Superintendent Williams : He tell the DJ to turn the sound down , and he say : All whos wearing Clarks booty , stand on that side of the dance . And whos not wearing Clarks booty stand on this side . Because he knows that rude boys wear them , so that is a way of identifying them . Reggae and dancehall stars Dillinger , Trinity , Ranking Joe , Scorcher , Little John , Super Cat and countless others had sung about Clarks in the past . Some of the most famous songs written about the Clarks shoes in Jamaica are Little Johns Clarks Booty and Vybz Kartels Clarks ( over 2.6 million hits on YouTube ) . Mods . While the Clarks Desert Boots became fashionable in the Beatnik Culture in the US , they became popular with youth in the UK after being adopted by Sixties Mods who wore them as part of both smart and casual clothing outfits . While the shoes are appropriate for a unisex look , they were particularly popular with male mods who wore them with military parkas , tailor-made suits with narrow lapels ( sometimes made of mohair ) , thin ties , button-down collar shirts , and wool or cashmere jumpers . Paris riots . The joint influences of the Beatniks and Mods made the Clarks Desert Boots ( Les Clarks ) popular among the Parisian students who wore them during the 1968 riots . The Clarks Desert Boots carried on through to the Mod Revival era of the Seventies and Eighties becoming a true Retro Mod Classic . They famously featured quite heavily in the 1979 Quadrophenia , Franc Roddams film adaptation of the Whos rock opera influencing in turn the Britpop movement of the 1990s . Rappers . The Clarks Wallabees in particular were adopted in recent times by the American rapper community . Their appeal can be traced to a wave of Jamaican immigrants who came to New York in the 1970s and paired Clarks shoes with suits . African-Americans saw it as an alternative to sneakers and jeans and incorporated it into their look , said Slick Rick , a rapper , whose parents were born in Jamaica and later moved to the Bronx . Its a way to be casual but not look like a scrub . The ladies like that . The shoe was long a staple of fashionable West Indians in New York City but towards the 1990s had fallen out of favor in hip-hop circles who tended to gravitate toward Timberland boots or sneakers . The rebirth of the Clarks Wallabees as a cool staple from mid-late 1990s is linked with New York-based hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan . Wu members ( RZA , GZA , Method Man , Raekwon , Ghostface Killah , Inspectah Deck , U-God , Masta Killa , and the late Ol Dirty Bastard ) and in particular Raekwon and Ghostface Killah wore Wallabees because not only they found them aesthetically pleasing but also since no other rapper was wearing them , they showed that they werent victims of the trends . They even featured the name of the shoe in the lyrics of several songs , engendering a revival of the Wallabees as a hip-hop staple by the mid-late 1990s . This justified Ghostface Killah to call himself Wally Champ and feature custom-dyed Wallabee shoes on the cover of his 1996 Ironman album . His 2008 compilation album was also called The Wallabee Champ . Breaking Bad . In the cult TV series , Breaking Bad , lead character Walter White ( played by Bryan Cranston ) morphs from a bland high school chemistry teacher into an all-powerful drug kingpin with trademark pork pie hat , black sunglasses and goatee , but he still wears Wallabees , just about the only shoe he wears from the beginning of the five-season series until its completion . Heritage . The Shoe Museum was established in 1950 by Laurence Barber at 40 High Street near the Clarks headquarters in Street , Somerset . Today the museum displays some 1,500 shoes as well as related exhibits , describing the development of shoes from Roman times and especially detailing the growth of Clarks shoes and shoemaking in Somerset . In 2002 , a charity called the Alfred Gillett Trust was established to care for the archives and collections of C&J Clark Ltd and the Clark family . Working closely with The Shoe Museum , the trusts collections include family and business archives , catalogues and sale materials , artwork and furniture , costume , film and sound archives , historic shoes and shoe making machinery . The trust is named after Alfred Gillett , a cousin of the companys founders and an amateur paleontologist ; some of his fossils are included in the trusts collection . The trust is based at The Grange , a Grade II listed building close to the museum in Street .

Who was the chief executive officer of C. & J. Clark between Aug 1987 and May 1995?
|
C . & ; J . Clark C . & J . Clark International Ltd , trading as Clarks , is a British international shoe manufacturer and retailer . It was founded in 1825 by Cyrus Clark in Street , Somerset , England – where it still has its headquarters . The company has 1,400 branded stores and franchises around the world and also sells through third-party distribution . Clarks also operated concessions in Mothercare stores . The company is commonly known for its Desert Boot , a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe rubber sole , usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) based on an unlined suede boot profile produced in the bazaars of Cairo and worn by British officers in the Second World War . For the year ending January 2013 , the company made a profit of £150 million on sales of £1,433m making it the 31st largest private company in the United Kingdom . More than half of its £1.4bn annualised sales to January were generated abroad , and since 2010 the company has moved into India , where it now has 25 stand-alone stores , and relaunched marketing in China , where it has opened 400 outlets in partnership with local footwear retailers . Clarks was 84% owned by the Clark family , with the remaining 16% held by employees and related institutions . In November 2020 , after a company voluntary arrangement , Clarks was rescued through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital , in which the Clarks family lost overall control of the company . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings agreed to acquire 51% of LionRock Capital , so has a substantial stake in the Clarks brand . History . 1825–1862 – Rugs , slippers and prizes . Origins of C . & J . Clark can be traced back to 1821 when Cyrus Clark ( 1801–1866 ) entered into a partnership with a Quaker cousin in the trade of fellmongering , wool-stapling and tanning in Street , Somerset . By 1825 , this partnership had been dissolved and Cyrus relocated to a site on the High Street in Street , utilising premises that belonged to his father-in-law to exploit his idea of making rugs out of sheepskins instead of pulling off the wool . C . & J . Clark recognise this as the beginning of their business and continue to occupy the site upon which Cyrus started to this very day . By 1828 , as the business had grown , Cyrus appointed his younger brother James ( 1811–1906 ) as an apprentice . Educated away from Street , James was meant to be apprentice to a chemist in Bath , but successfully pleaded with his parents to let him stay in Street and help Cyrus . In 1828–1829 , whilst serving this apprenticeship , James began utilising the offcuts that were too short for making rugs to produce slippers ( known as Brown Petersburgs ) . The slippers were made using outworkers who collected materials from the factory , assembled footwear in workshops at home and returned the finished product for payment . This trade rapidly evolved , providing James with a legitimate claim to an equal partnership in the business when his apprenticeship was served in 1833 . Thereafter , it traded as C . & J . Clark . The brothers developed national and international trade ( Ireland in the 1820s , Canada by the 1830s , Australia in the 1850s ) and were notably innovative , winning the gold medal at the Great Exhibition in 1851 for their gutta percha elongated galosh . 1863–1903 – Riding the storm . A couple of bad years that combined volatile market conditions , a certain lack of financial rigour and questionable planning brought the business to the brink of bankruptcy in 1863 . The local Quaker community stepped in and part of the bailout deal was the nomination of James eldest son , William Stephens Clark ( 1839–1925 ) to the helm of C . & J . Clark . William Clark put in place an accelerated repayment plan that saw indebtedness drop considerably to 1873 when he became a partner in the business with his father James . For the first time in Britain , William mechanised the shoemaking process and went on to establish C . & J . Clark both as a pioneer of new technology and as a champion of footwear innovation . James withdrew from the partnership in 1889 , to be replaced by his son Francis , Williams younger brother . In line with the familys Quaker values , the capital was also extended beyond the factory to benefit social initiatives in Street : a school was founded so that young men and women could combine working in the factory with continuing their education , a theatre was opened , a library was built , along with an open-air swimming pool and town hall . Playing fields were established for the benefit of all and low-cost housing was provided by the company for its employees . 1904–1945 – Style , technology and foot measuring . In 1903 the partnership arrangement was discontinued in favour of a private limited company . This enabled the succession to the third generation of family members as children of William Stephens Clark became life directors alongside Francis and himself . Tasked with specific responsibilities , Alice Clark , John Bright Clark and Roger Clark developed distinct roles . Brothers John Bright and Roger Clark studied American making processes and techniques with a view to appointing a suitable candidate experienced in the American factory system that they might bring to Street . John Walter Bostock from Lynn , Massachusetts was recruited in 1904 . The implementation was a resounding success and Bostock was made a director of the company in 1928 . A London Office , opened in the West End in 1908 , supplemented the shoemaking knowledge with style information . A reputation for high-quality goods available in the latest fashions , was established in the early 1910s , and remained until the Second World War . A premium quality Tor range was produced on the principles of standard lines , followed by a range of affordable fashionable footwear called Wessex . The company had its first national press advertisement in 1934 and entered formally into retailing in 1937 through the acquisition of Abbotts chain of shops based around London and the provinces . Peter Lord was created by Hugh Bryan Clark as a retail brand to avoid alarming agents or alerting competitors to the companys activities . It steadily evolved into a national network of stores . Growing awareness that bad feet were the product of ill-fitting shoes determined Bostock to devise a new shoe fitting system based on the detailed analysis of thousands of foot measurements taken from local school children . In line with the findings the company launched its new childrens ranges in 1945 with a choice of four width fittings , simultaneously with the new Clarks foot gauge that acted as a scientific measuring instrument to aid the shop assistant . 1946–1995 – Growth and challenges . Expansion of the business post-war was largely initiated by fourth-generation family members : Bancroft Clark , appointed Managing Director and Chairman in 1942 and his cousins , Anthony Clark and Peter Clothier , accountable for Sales/Marketing and Manufacturing respectively . The start-up or acquisition of additional manufacturing facilities ( peaking at 17 domestic factories ) across the South West and South East of England and South Wales meant that the companys volume market share in the UK increased from 1.1 per cent in 1945 to 9 per cent by 1970 . Foreign manufacturing was also sought through agreements with existing domestic manufacturers : Ireland in the 1930s with Australia , Canada and South Africa added in the 1940s and 1950s . Nathan Clark ( younger brother of Bancroft ) negotiated a number of these agreements in his capacity as Overseas Manager until 1952 . Bancroft retired in 1967 . His son , Daniel Clark succeeded Peter Clothier as Managing Director in 1973 , with Anthony Clark remaining as Chairman . He retired in 1974 , when his son , Lance Clark , was appointed Managing Director of the manufacturing and wholesaling division . In 1974 Clarks bought the fashionable Ravel , Pinet and Mondaine . The company acquired K Shoes , based in Kendal , Cumbria to salvage it from a hostile takeover . The closure of factories started in 1978 , and continued throughout the 1980s . Daniel Clark resigned in 1986 replaced by John Clothier ( son of Peter ) who remained CEO throughout the turbulent buy-out negotiations with Berisford International Plc , a properties commodities group that attempted to take the troubled company public . While the proposal was defeated by shareholders at the EGM convened on 7 May 1993 it was also decided to move away from direct family management to professional managers , who would rationalise the business , and would be more comfortable with making the changes needed for its recovery . 1996–present : Worldwide growth and a global brand . The appointment of Tim Parker as CEO in 1996 was made on the initiation of the newly elected Chairman , Roger Pedder . Clarks format was radically changed with the Act Your Shoe Size Not Your Age Campaign in 1997 , which contributed to a freshening of the brand . Completion of the transition from manufacturing to a wholesaling and branded retailing business was conducted by Parkers successor , Peter Bolliger , who became CEO in 2002 . Closure of the companys remaining manufacturing interests meant that the last Clarks UK factory ceased production in 2005 followed by the last K factory in 2006 . Production was relocated off-shore , using third party factories , predominantly located in Asia . Transformation of retail and investment to modernise company infrastructure and systems was also completed . Street consequently remains the epicentre for company operations , a distribution facility having been constructed in the village in 2005 with the capacity to process 1 million pairs of shoes per week . Former CEO , Melissa Potter , who was appointed in 2010 , re-organized the business in four regions Americas , Asia Pacific , Europe and United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland ( from February 2013 ) , the re-launch in China , the move into India , the launch of the online business and the increased focus on building a global brand . Melissa Potter stepped down as CEO in September 2015 . Non-executive chairman Thomas O’Neill lead the business until 2017 when Mike Shearwood was appointed as the new CEO . Then following Shearwoods resignation in June 2018 , Stella David was announced as In-term CEO . In February 2019 Giorgio Presca was announced as the new CEO , Stella David returned to her role on the board . In May 2018 , the company announced that it would build a new production plant next to its headquarters in Street , Somerset . The £3 million factory would see the latest in robot technology and create 80 jobs and produce over 300,000 pairs of Desert Shoes per year . In November 2020 , Clarks announced a rescue plan through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital after a company voluntary arrangement ( CVA ) , a form of insolvency , in which the Clarks family will lose overall control of the company . The CVA requires the agreement of landlords , who would receive a percentage of turnover as rent , and creditors . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings has agreed to acquire 51 per cent of LionRock Capital Partners QiLe Limited , the private equity firm which will own the Clarks brand , for £51 million . The majority owner of Viva China Holdings is entrepreneur Li Ning , a former Olympic gold medal winner for China . This resulted in Victor Herrero , a Spanish executive and former CEO of Guess , being named as the new Clarks CEO in March of 2021 . Prior to his appointment as CEO , he served as a board member to Clarks since April 2019 . Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) . The history of C&J Clarks representation in America dates back to 1950 and the formation of Clarks of England Inc . Initiated by Bronson Davis , a car salesman , who had seen the Desert Boot at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . Davis established a sales organization covering 150 accounts with outlets that stocked Clarks products , predominantly Desert Boots . He also sponsored advertisements for Clarks shoes in The New Yorker and Esquire magazines . Davis established relations with some of Americas most prestigious retailers ; Abercrombie & Fitch , Neiman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue . The coverage for the Desert Boot was consolidated by advertising that targeted the campus trade of Berkeley , Cornell , Harvard , North Carolina and Yale Universities through ads in Esquire and college magazines . A young salesman named Robert ( Bob ) Cullerton followed Bronson Davis at the lead in America . Appointed President in April 1961 , he inherited a business focussed on the provision of mens casuals and the Desert Boot . He appointed designer Nancy Knox to create a new range advertised via Playboy and Gentlemens Quarterly . In parallel with American developments , C&J Clark Ltd . acquired the Blachford Shoe Manufacturing Co . Ltd . of Toronto in 1952 , establishing a foothold in Canada led by Hugh Woods and Harold Hughes . Similarities between the businesses in Canada and North America meant Cullerton , Woods and Hughes quickly collaborated . They developed a clear vision of what womens sandals and shoes were required to supplement the demand for mens casual offerings . An Italian resourcing programme was started by Woods in 1960 to get more style and variety into the ranges . Offices were opened in the Empire State Building , New York in April 1964 . Sales were also buoyed by the introduction of the Wallabee in the late 1960s and expansion towards the West Coast . Wholesaling interests were complemented with retail from the late 1970s through the acquisition of Hanover Shoes Inc . who owned 220 retail shops . At the same time C&J Clark decided to bring together its North American interests under one corporation to operate Hanover , Clarks of England and Clarks Canada . The business grew further in 1979 through the acquisition of Bostonian , a well-respected mens dress shoe brand , adding 25 more shop locations as well as entry into 70 leased stores and discounting outlets . Responsibility for Clarks Canada and Clarks of England was transferred to the C&J Clarks HQ in Street in 1986 . Clarks of England and Clarks Canada officially merged in 1987 to provide more operational efficiencies and more consistency of product offering for North America . Bob Infantino became CEO of the North American operations in 1992 , taking a key role in consolidating the manufacturing , retailing , and wholesaling activities in America into one company : Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) from 1995 . By 1998 , CCNA became principally a wholesaling business , serving 170 owned retail locations and 3,600 third party wholesale accounts , representing 14,200 retail outlets . Sales increased by 57 per cent from 1995 to 2001 , profits rose five-fold . Infantino left the company in 2010 , replaced by Jim Salzano who was at the helm of the North American business until 2013 , when CCNA officially became the Americas Region , one of the four regions resulting as part of the re-organization initiated by Melissa Potter . Since March 2016 Gary Champion has led the Americas Region as president , also serving on the Global Leadership Team . Products . School shoes . In the United Kingdom , Clarks has long been a popular choice of parents as a place to purchase school shoes for children to wear upon returning to school following the summer holidays . The Independent UK newspaper ranked Clarks as the number one provider of school shoes in the United Kingdom in 2017 , highlighting that it has been providing quality shoes for over 170 years and highlighting the fact that Clarks is one of only a few manufacturers of school shoes to be provided in half sizes . Part of the reason , despite being long-lasting and durable , parents have opted for Clarks school shoes for their children is that almost every Clarks design of school shoes has been classed as acceptable shoes in line with most primary and secondary school uniform policies . In recent years , notably in mid–2010s , schools have reviewed their uniform policies and have instead identified a few of Clarks designs for school shoes as being unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy of the school . In 2016 , nationwide attention was gathered after 12-year-old Alfie Ingerfeild from Bristol was sent home from school at the beginning of the new school term in September after wearing a pair of Harlem Spin shoes from Clarks Bootleg school shoe range . The school , Mangotsfield School , claimed that the Harlem Spin design was too much like trainers and therefore classed them as unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy , so much so to the extent that the Deputy Head Teacher of Mangotsfield School said that should the shoes be worn the following school then the pupil would be asked to remove them and forced to wear shoes from lost property . This is despite the fact that the Harlem Spin shoes were advertised by Clarks as being school shoes – Clarks did not give a statement in regards to the incident and questions over the design of the Harlem Spin shoes . In 2017 , a particular style of Mary Jane shoes called Dolly Babe was compared unfavourably to Clarks own Leader school shoe for boys , with parents and ministers both accusing the company of sexism and gender stereotypes – the Mary Janes in question being viewed as flimsy and stereotypically feminine with a heart-print insole and a heart-shaped charm on the toe box while the boys shoe was seen as sturdier . The company soon apologised over the matter and withdrew the shoe from sale . Clarks also issued a statement saying it would commit to designing gender-neutral footwear following customer feedback . In March 2018 , two pupils from Kearsley Academy were sent home from school due to their school shoes , both purchased from Clarks , for looking too much like trainers . The shoes in question were both purchased from Clarks Bootleg range , a designated brand of school shoes from Clarks marketed for older children and teenagers . Joyance sandal . During the 20th century , Clarks established a reputation for quality childrens footwear . The crepe rubber soled Joyance T-bar sandal for both boys and girls was one of their most popular designs . Launched in 1933 , it continued in production until 1972 . Desert Boot . The companys best-known product is the Desert Boot – a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe sole usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) . Nathan Clark was an officer in the Royal Army Service Corps posted to Burma in 1941 with orders to help establish a supply route from Rangoon to the Chinese forces at Chongqing whilst also launching a series of offensives throughout South East Asia . Before leaving home his brother Bancroft had given him the mission to gather any information on footwear that might be of use to the company whilst he was travelling the world . The Desert Boot was the result of this mission . His discovery of the Desert Boot was made either at Staff College in 1944 or on leave in Kashmir where three divisions of the old Eighth Army ( transferred to the Far East from North Africa ) were wearing ankle-high suede boots manufactured in the bazaars of Cairo . Nathan sent sketches and rough patterns back to Bancroft , but no trials were made until after he returned to Street and cut the patterns himself . The Desert Boot was cut on the mens Guernsey Sandal last and sampled in a neutral beige-grey 2mm chrome bend split suede . The companys Stock Committee reacted badly to the sample and dismissed the idea as it would never sell . It was only in his capacity as Overseas Development Manager that Nathan had any success with the shoe after introducing it to Oskar Schoefler ( Fashion Editor , Esquire Magazine ) at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . He gave them substantial editorial credits with colour photographs in Esquire in early 1950 . Bronson Davies subsequently saw these articles and applied to represent the company in selling them across the US , long before they were available in the UK . The Desert Boot was initially sold in Britain through shops in Regent Street , featuring a Union Jack sewn into the label , targeted at tourists . Lance Clark is widely credited with popularising them in Europe during the 1960s . The Desert Boot have been manufactured at Shepton Mallet , small scale production having initially occurred at Street . During the course of time , Whitecross factory in Weston-Super-Mare was subcontracted to relieve Shepton factory of the manufacture of the Desert Boot , before the Bushacre factory at Locking Road , Weston-Super-Mare was constructed in 1958 . The Desert Boot was manufactured there until the closure of the factory in 2001 . Clarks announced in July 2017 , it was restarting manufacturing Desert Boots , using a new manufacturing unit featuring robot-assisted technology , at its headquarters in Street , Somerset . Up to 300,000 pairs a year of desert boots were to be made at the unit , creating up to eighty technical and managerial jobs . However , in January 2019 the company announced that this unit was to be closed , after failing to meet production targets . Wallabee . Produced by Clarks from 1967 and based on a moccasin called the Grashopper , launched in 1964 , by the German company Sioux , the Wallabee brand was manufactured at the Padmore and Barnes factory based in Kilkenny , Ireland , which Clarks had acquired in 1963 and continued to operate until its closure in 1987 , when it was the subject of a management buy-out . Managed by Lance Clark who was responsible for having negotiated the licence to produce the shoes in Kilkenny and arranged for the factory staff to be trained in the production of moccasin shoes , the product took off once the decision was taken to market it in North America in 1968 . As General Manager of the factory , Paddy Roberts took the shoe to a trade fair in New York in the same year , whereupon he quickly learnt that the trademark Grasshopper had been licensed . In conjunction with Jack Rose-Smith ( Clarks Overseas Shoes Export Manager ) , Bob Cullerton ( the President for Clarks in America/Clarks of England ) , Hugh Woods ( Managing Director of Clarks Canada ) , Roberts trademarked the name Wallabee . Desert Trek . Another style associated with the Lance Clark who had seen a Zwartjes version of the shoe on the feet of artist , Sonja Landweer in the late 1960s . An artist in residence at the Kilkenny Design Workshops , where she had come into contact with Lance Clark , Landweers shoes became the basis for production of the Trek which was first attempted at Clarks factory in Dundalk . This was more attuned to the construction of stitch-down footwear . The shoe was initially launched in North America in 1971 as Trek , before featuring in the UK range in 1972 where it was renamed Hike , owing to an existing footwear trademark . The Trek man that first featured on the shoe was drafted by Lance Clark and refined by the advertising manager in Dundalk , Bob Patten . Popular culture . Some Clarks styles ( particularly the Desert Boot , Wallabee & Desert Trek ) were widely adopted as cultural icons by different subcultures and featured in songs as well as popular films and TV series . Jamaica . The most referenced is the popularity of the Clarks shoes in Jamaica and the association with the Jamaican rude boys movement . According to DJ , producer and cultural historian Al Fingers in his book , Clarks in Jamaica , this trend started in the late 1960s when the emerging youth culture of the recently independent Jamaica adopted the Clarks shoes as part of their uniform . The original gangster rude boy dem , a Clarks dem wear , producer Jah Thomas tells Fingers in the book . And in Jamaica a rude boy him nah wear cheap ting . Writes Fingers , In the early 70s , the rude boy/desert boot association became so strong that young males risked a beating by police simply for wearing a pair . You must be a thief , the police would say . How else would you afford such expensive Clarks ? He tells the story of an infamous Kingston police officer called Joe Williams , who carried out a raid on a dance being run by producer and label boss Sir Coxsone Dodd . The DJ Dennis Alcapone recalls the arrival of Superintendent Williams : He tell the DJ to turn the sound down , and he say : All whos wearing Clarks booty , stand on that side of the dance . And whos not wearing Clarks booty stand on this side . Because he knows that rude boys wear them , so that is a way of identifying them . Reggae and dancehall stars Dillinger , Trinity , Ranking Joe , Scorcher , Little John , Super Cat and countless others had sung about Clarks in the past . Some of the most famous songs written about the Clarks shoes in Jamaica are Little Johns Clarks Booty and Vybz Kartels Clarks ( over 2.6 million hits on YouTube ) . Mods . While the Clarks Desert Boots became fashionable in the Beatnik Culture in the US , they became popular with youth in the UK after being adopted by Sixties Mods who wore them as part of both smart and casual clothing outfits . While the shoes are appropriate for a unisex look , they were particularly popular with male mods who wore them with military parkas , tailor-made suits with narrow lapels ( sometimes made of mohair ) , thin ties , button-down collar shirts , and wool or cashmere jumpers . Paris riots . The joint influences of the Beatniks and Mods made the Clarks Desert Boots ( Les Clarks ) popular among the Parisian students who wore them during the 1968 riots . The Clarks Desert Boots carried on through to the Mod Revival era of the Seventies and Eighties becoming a true Retro Mod Classic . They famously featured quite heavily in the 1979 Quadrophenia , Franc Roddams film adaptation of the Whos rock opera influencing in turn the Britpop movement of the 1990s . Rappers . The Clarks Wallabees in particular were adopted in recent times by the American rapper community . Their appeal can be traced to a wave of Jamaican immigrants who came to New York in the 1970s and paired Clarks shoes with suits . African-Americans saw it as an alternative to sneakers and jeans and incorporated it into their look , said Slick Rick , a rapper , whose parents were born in Jamaica and later moved to the Bronx . Its a way to be casual but not look like a scrub . The ladies like that . The shoe was long a staple of fashionable West Indians in New York City but towards the 1990s had fallen out of favor in hip-hop circles who tended to gravitate toward Timberland boots or sneakers . The rebirth of the Clarks Wallabees as a cool staple from mid-late 1990s is linked with New York-based hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan .

They even featured the name of the shoe in the lyrics of several songs , engendering a revival of the Wallabees as a hip-hop staple by the mid-late 1990s .

In the cult TV series , Breaking Bad , lead character Walter White ( played by Bryan Cranston ) morphs from a bland high school chemistry teacher into an all-powerful drug kingpin with trademark pork pie hat , black sunglasses and goatee , but he still wears Wallabees , just about the only shoe he wears from the beginning of the five-season series until its completion . Heritage . The Shoe Museum was established in 1950 by Laurence Barber at 40 High Street near the Clarks headquarters in Street , Somerset . Today the museum displays some 1,500 shoes as well as related exhibits , describing the development of shoes from Roman times and especially detailing the growth of Clarks shoes and shoemaking in Somerset . In 2002 , a charity called the Alfred Gillett Trust was established to care for the archives and collections of C&J Clark Ltd and the Clark family . Working closely with The Shoe Museum , the trusts collections include family and business archives , catalogues and sale materials , artwork and furniture , costume , film and sound archives , historic shoes and shoe making machinery . The trust is named after Alfred Gillett , a cousin of the companys founders and an amateur paleontologist ; some of his fossils are included in the trusts collection . The trust is based at The Grange , a Grade II listed building close to the museum in Street .

Who was the chief executive officer of C. & J. Clark between Jan 1998 and Feb 1999?
|
C . & ; J . Clark C . & J . Clark International Ltd , trading as Clarks , is a British international shoe manufacturer and retailer . It was founded in 1825 by Cyrus Clark in Street , Somerset , England – where it still has its headquarters . The company has 1,400 branded stores and franchises around the world and also sells through third-party distribution . Clarks also operated concessions in Mothercare stores . The company is commonly known for its Desert Boot , a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe rubber sole , usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) based on an unlined suede boot profile produced in the bazaars of Cairo and worn by British officers in the Second World War . For the year ending January 2013 , the company made a profit of £150 million on sales of £1,433m making it the 31st largest private company in the United Kingdom . More than half of its £1.4bn annualised sales to January were generated abroad , and since 2010 the company has moved into India , where it now has 25 stand-alone stores , and relaunched marketing in China , where it has opened 400 outlets in partnership with local footwear retailers . Clarks was 84% owned by the Clark family , with the remaining 16% held by employees and related institutions . In November 2020 , after a company voluntary arrangement , Clarks was rescued through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital , in which the Clarks family lost overall control of the company . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings agreed to acquire 51% of LionRock Capital , so has a substantial stake in the Clarks brand . History . 1825–1862 – Rugs , slippers and prizes . Origins of C . & J . Clark can be traced back to 1821 when Cyrus Clark ( 1801–1866 ) entered into a partnership with a Quaker cousin in the trade of fellmongering , wool-stapling and tanning in Street , Somerset . By 1825 , this partnership had been dissolved and Cyrus relocated to a site on the High Street in Street , utilising premises that belonged to his father-in-law to exploit his idea of making rugs out of sheepskins instead of pulling off the wool . C . & J . Clark recognise this as the beginning of their business and continue to occupy the site upon which Cyrus started to this very day . By 1828 , as the business had grown , Cyrus appointed his younger brother James ( 1811–1906 ) as an apprentice . Educated away from Street , James was meant to be apprentice to a chemist in Bath , but successfully pleaded with his parents to let him stay in Street and help Cyrus . In 1828–1829 , whilst serving this apprenticeship , James began utilising the offcuts that were too short for making rugs to produce slippers ( known as Brown Petersburgs ) . The slippers were made using outworkers who collected materials from the factory , assembled footwear in workshops at home and returned the finished product for payment . This trade rapidly evolved , providing James with a legitimate claim to an equal partnership in the business when his apprenticeship was served in 1833 . Thereafter , it traded as C . & J . Clark . The brothers developed national and international trade ( Ireland in the 1820s , Canada by the 1830s , Australia in the 1850s ) and were notably innovative , winning the gold medal at the Great Exhibition in 1851 for their gutta percha elongated galosh . 1863–1903 – Riding the storm . A couple of bad years that combined volatile market conditions , a certain lack of financial rigour and questionable planning brought the business to the brink of bankruptcy in 1863 . The local Quaker community stepped in and part of the bailout deal was the nomination of James eldest son , William Stephens Clark ( 1839–1925 ) to the helm of C . & J . Clark . William Clark put in place an accelerated repayment plan that saw indebtedness drop considerably to 1873 when he became a partner in the business with his father James . For the first time in Britain , William mechanised the shoemaking process and went on to establish C . & J . Clark both as a pioneer of new technology and as a champion of footwear innovation . James withdrew from the partnership in 1889 , to be replaced by his son Francis , Williams younger brother . In line with the familys Quaker values , the capital was also extended beyond the factory to benefit social initiatives in Street : a school was founded so that young men and women could combine working in the factory with continuing their education , a theatre was opened , a library was built , along with an open-air swimming pool and town hall . Playing fields were established for the benefit of all and low-cost housing was provided by the company for its employees . 1904–1945 – Style , technology and foot measuring . In 1903 the partnership arrangement was discontinued in favour of a private limited company . This enabled the succession to the third generation of family members as children of William Stephens Clark became life directors alongside Francis and himself . Tasked with specific responsibilities , Alice Clark , John Bright Clark and Roger Clark developed distinct roles . Brothers John Bright and Roger Clark studied American making processes and techniques with a view to appointing a suitable candidate experienced in the American factory system that they might bring to Street . John Walter Bostock from Lynn , Massachusetts was recruited in 1904 . The implementation was a resounding success and Bostock was made a director of the company in 1928 . A London Office , opened in the West End in 1908 , supplemented the shoemaking knowledge with style information . A reputation for high-quality goods available in the latest fashions , was established in the early 1910s , and remained until the Second World War . A premium quality Tor range was produced on the principles of standard lines , followed by a range of affordable fashionable footwear called Wessex . The company had its first national press advertisement in 1934 and entered formally into retailing in 1937 through the acquisition of Abbotts chain of shops based around London and the provinces . Peter Lord was created by Hugh Bryan Clark as a retail brand to avoid alarming agents or alerting competitors to the companys activities . It steadily evolved into a national network of stores . Growing awareness that bad feet were the product of ill-fitting shoes determined Bostock to devise a new shoe fitting system based on the detailed analysis of thousands of foot measurements taken from local school children . In line with the findings the company launched its new childrens ranges in 1945 with a choice of four width fittings , simultaneously with the new Clarks foot gauge that acted as a scientific measuring instrument to aid the shop assistant . 1946–1995 – Growth and challenges . Expansion of the business post-war was largely initiated by fourth-generation family members : Bancroft Clark , appointed Managing Director and Chairman in 1942 and his cousins , Anthony Clark and Peter Clothier , accountable for Sales/Marketing and Manufacturing respectively . The start-up or acquisition of additional manufacturing facilities ( peaking at 17 domestic factories ) across the South West and South East of England and South Wales meant that the companys volume market share in the UK increased from 1.1 per cent in 1945 to 9 per cent by 1970 . Foreign manufacturing was also sought through agreements with existing domestic manufacturers : Ireland in the 1930s with Australia , Canada and South Africa added in the 1940s and 1950s . Nathan Clark ( younger brother of Bancroft ) negotiated a number of these agreements in his capacity as Overseas Manager until 1952 . Bancroft retired in 1967 . His son , Daniel Clark succeeded Peter Clothier as Managing Director in 1973 , with Anthony Clark remaining as Chairman . He retired in 1974 , when his son , Lance Clark , was appointed Managing Director of the manufacturing and wholesaling division . In 1974 Clarks bought the fashionable Ravel , Pinet and Mondaine . The company acquired K Shoes , based in Kendal , Cumbria to salvage it from a hostile takeover . The closure of factories started in 1978 , and continued throughout the 1980s . Daniel Clark resigned in 1986 replaced by John Clothier ( son of Peter ) who remained CEO throughout the turbulent buy-out negotiations with Berisford International Plc , a properties commodities group that attempted to take the troubled company public . While the proposal was defeated by shareholders at the EGM convened on 7 May 1993 it was also decided to move away from direct family management to professional managers , who would rationalise the business , and would be more comfortable with making the changes needed for its recovery . 1996–present : Worldwide growth and a global brand . The appointment of Tim Parker as CEO in 1996 was made on the initiation of the newly elected Chairman , Roger Pedder . Clarks format was radically changed with the Act Your Shoe Size Not Your Age Campaign in 1997 , which contributed to a freshening of the brand . Completion of the transition from manufacturing to a wholesaling and branded retailing business was conducted by Parkers successor , Peter Bolliger , who became CEO in 2002 . Closure of the companys remaining manufacturing interests meant that the last Clarks UK factory ceased production in 2005 followed by the last K factory in 2006 . Production was relocated off-shore , using third party factories , predominantly located in Asia . Transformation of retail and investment to modernise company infrastructure and systems was also completed . Street consequently remains the epicentre for company operations , a distribution facility having been constructed in the village in 2005 with the capacity to process 1 million pairs of shoes per week . Former CEO , Melissa Potter , who was appointed in 2010 , re-organized the business in four regions Americas , Asia Pacific , Europe and United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland ( from February 2013 ) , the re-launch in China , the move into India , the launch of the online business and the increased focus on building a global brand . Melissa Potter stepped down as CEO in September 2015 . Non-executive chairman Thomas O’Neill lead the business until 2017 when Mike Shearwood was appointed as the new CEO . Then following Shearwoods resignation in June 2018 , Stella David was announced as In-term CEO . In February 2019 Giorgio Presca was announced as the new CEO , Stella David returned to her role on the board . In May 2018 , the company announced that it would build a new production plant next to its headquarters in Street , Somerset . The £3 million factory would see the latest in robot technology and create 80 jobs and produce over 300,000 pairs of Desert Shoes per year . In November 2020 , Clarks announced a rescue plan through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital after a company voluntary arrangement ( CVA ) , a form of insolvency , in which the Clarks family will lose overall control of the company . The CVA requires the agreement of landlords , who would receive a percentage of turnover as rent , and creditors . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings has agreed to acquire 51 per cent of LionRock Capital Partners QiLe Limited , the private equity firm which will own the Clarks brand , for £51 million . The majority owner of Viva China Holdings is entrepreneur Li Ning , a former Olympic gold medal winner for China . This resulted in Victor Herrero , a Spanish executive and former CEO of Guess , being named as the new Clarks CEO in March of 2021 . Prior to his appointment as CEO , he served as a board member to Clarks since April 2019 . Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) . The history of C&J Clarks representation in America dates back to 1950 and the formation of Clarks of England Inc . Initiated by Bronson Davis , a car salesman , who had seen the Desert Boot at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . Davis established a sales organization covering 150 accounts with outlets that stocked Clarks products , predominantly Desert Boots . He also sponsored advertisements for Clarks shoes in The New Yorker and Esquire magazines . Davis established relations with some of Americas most prestigious retailers ; Abercrombie & Fitch , Neiman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue . The coverage for the Desert Boot was consolidated by advertising that targeted the campus trade of Berkeley , Cornell , Harvard , North Carolina and Yale Universities through ads in Esquire and college magazines . A young salesman named Robert ( Bob ) Cullerton followed Bronson Davis at the lead in America . Appointed President in April 1961 , he inherited a business focussed on the provision of mens casuals and the Desert Boot . He appointed designer Nancy Knox to create a new range advertised via Playboy and Gentlemens Quarterly . In parallel with American developments , C&J Clark Ltd . acquired the Blachford Shoe Manufacturing Co . Ltd . of Toronto in 1952 , establishing a foothold in Canada led by Hugh Woods and Harold Hughes . Similarities between the businesses in Canada and North America meant Cullerton , Woods and Hughes quickly collaborated . They developed a clear vision of what womens sandals and shoes were required to supplement the demand for mens casual offerings . An Italian resourcing programme was started by Woods in 1960 to get more style and variety into the ranges . Offices were opened in the Empire State Building , New York in April 1964 . Sales were also buoyed by the introduction of the Wallabee in the late 1960s and expansion towards the West Coast . Wholesaling interests were complemented with retail from the late 1970s through the acquisition of Hanover Shoes Inc . who owned 220 retail shops . At the same time C&J Clark decided to bring together its North American interests under one corporation to operate Hanover , Clarks of England and Clarks Canada . The business grew further in 1979 through the acquisition of Bostonian , a well-respected mens dress shoe brand , adding 25 more shop locations as well as entry into 70 leased stores and discounting outlets . Responsibility for Clarks Canada and Clarks of England was transferred to the C&J Clarks HQ in Street in 1986 . Clarks of England and Clarks Canada officially merged in 1987 to provide more operational efficiencies and more consistency of product offering for North America . Bob Infantino became CEO of the North American operations in 1992 , taking a key role in consolidating the manufacturing , retailing , and wholesaling activities in America into one company : Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) from 1995 . By 1998 , CCNA became principally a wholesaling business , serving 170 owned retail locations and 3,600 third party wholesale accounts , representing 14,200 retail outlets . Sales increased by 57 per cent from 1995 to 2001 , profits rose five-fold . Infantino left the company in 2010 , replaced by Jim Salzano who was at the helm of the North American business until 2013 , when CCNA officially became the Americas Region , one of the four regions resulting as part of the re-organization initiated by Melissa Potter . Since March 2016 Gary Champion has led the Americas Region as president , also serving on the Global Leadership Team . Products . School shoes . In the United Kingdom , Clarks has long been a popular choice of parents as a place to purchase school shoes for children to wear upon returning to school following the summer holidays . The Independent UK newspaper ranked Clarks as the number one provider of school shoes in the United Kingdom in 2017 , highlighting that it has been providing quality shoes for over 170 years and highlighting the fact that Clarks is one of only a few manufacturers of school shoes to be provided in half sizes . Part of the reason , despite being long-lasting and durable , parents have opted for Clarks school shoes for their children is that almost every Clarks design of school shoes has been classed as acceptable shoes in line with most primary and secondary school uniform policies . In recent years , notably in mid–2010s , schools have reviewed their uniform policies and have instead identified a few of Clarks designs for school shoes as being unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy of the school . In 2016 , nationwide attention was gathered after 12-year-old Alfie Ingerfeild from Bristol was sent home from school at the beginning of the new school term in September after wearing a pair of Harlem Spin shoes from Clarks Bootleg school shoe range . The school , Mangotsfield School , claimed that the Harlem Spin design was too much like trainers and therefore classed them as unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy , so much so to the extent that the Deputy Head Teacher of Mangotsfield School said that should the shoes be worn the following school then the pupil would be asked to remove them and forced to wear shoes from lost property . This is despite the fact that the Harlem Spin shoes were advertised by Clarks as being school shoes – Clarks did not give a statement in regards to the incident and questions over the design of the Harlem Spin shoes . In 2017 , a particular style of Mary Jane shoes called Dolly Babe was compared unfavourably to Clarks own Leader school shoe for boys , with parents and ministers both accusing the company of sexism and gender stereotypes – the Mary Janes in question being viewed as flimsy and stereotypically feminine with a heart-print insole and a heart-shaped charm on the toe box while the boys shoe was seen as sturdier . The company soon apologised over the matter and withdrew the shoe from sale . Clarks also issued a statement saying it would commit to designing gender-neutral footwear following customer feedback . In March 2018 , two pupils from Kearsley Academy were sent home from school due to their school shoes , both purchased from Clarks , for looking too much like trainers . The shoes in question were both purchased from Clarks Bootleg range , a designated brand of school shoes from Clarks marketed for older children and teenagers . Joyance sandal . During the 20th century , Clarks established a reputation for quality childrens footwear . The crepe rubber soled Joyance T-bar sandal for both boys and girls was one of their most popular designs . Launched in 1933 , it continued in production until 1972 . Desert Boot . The companys best-known product is the Desert Boot – a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe sole usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) . Nathan Clark was an officer in the Royal Army Service Corps posted to Burma in 1941 with orders to help establish a supply route from Rangoon to the Chinese forces at Chongqing whilst also launching a series of offensives throughout South East Asia . Before leaving home his brother Bancroft had given him the mission to gather any information on footwear that might be of use to the company whilst he was travelling the world . The Desert Boot was the result of this mission . His discovery of the Desert Boot was made either at Staff College in 1944 or on leave in Kashmir where three divisions of the old Eighth Army ( transferred to the Far East from North Africa ) were wearing ankle-high suede boots manufactured in the bazaars of Cairo . Nathan sent sketches and rough patterns back to Bancroft , but no trials were made until after he returned to Street and cut the patterns himself . The Desert Boot was cut on the mens Guernsey Sandal last and sampled in a neutral beige-grey 2mm chrome bend split suede . The companys Stock Committee reacted badly to the sample and dismissed the idea as it would never sell . It was only in his capacity as Overseas Development Manager that Nathan had any success with the shoe after introducing it to Oskar Schoefler ( Fashion Editor , Esquire Magazine ) at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . He gave them substantial editorial credits with colour photographs in Esquire in early 1950 . Bronson Davies subsequently saw these articles and applied to represent the company in selling them across the US , long before they were available in the UK . The Desert Boot was initially sold in Britain through shops in Regent Street , featuring a Union Jack sewn into the label , targeted at tourists . Lance Clark is widely credited with popularising them in Europe during the 1960s . The Desert Boot have been manufactured at Shepton Mallet , small scale production having initially occurred at Street . During the course of time , Whitecross factory in Weston-Super-Mare was subcontracted to relieve Shepton factory of the manufacture of the Desert Boot , before the Bushacre factory at Locking Road , Weston-Super-Mare was constructed in 1958 . The Desert Boot was manufactured there until the closure of the factory in 2001 . Clarks announced in July 2017 , it was restarting manufacturing Desert Boots , using a new manufacturing unit featuring robot-assisted technology , at its headquarters in Street , Somerset . Up to 300,000 pairs a year of desert boots were to be made at the unit , creating up to eighty technical and managerial jobs . However , in January 2019 the company announced that this unit was to be closed , after failing to meet production targets . Wallabee . Produced by Clarks from 1967 and based on a moccasin called the Grashopper , launched in 1964 , by the German company Sioux , the Wallabee brand was manufactured at the Padmore and Barnes factory based in Kilkenny , Ireland , which Clarks had acquired in 1963 and continued to operate until its closure in 1987 , when it was the subject of a management buy-out . Managed by Lance Clark who was responsible for having negotiated the licence to produce the shoes in Kilkenny and arranged for the factory staff to be trained in the production of moccasin shoes , the product took off once the decision was taken to market it in North America in 1968 . As General Manager of the factory , Paddy Roberts took the shoe to a trade fair in New York in the same year , whereupon he quickly learnt that the trademark Grasshopper had been licensed . In conjunction with Jack Rose-Smith ( Clarks Overseas Shoes Export Manager ) , Bob Cullerton ( the President for Clarks in America/Clarks of England ) , Hugh Woods ( Managing Director of Clarks Canada ) , Roberts trademarked the name Wallabee . Desert Trek . Another style associated with the Lance Clark who had seen a Zwartjes version of the shoe on the feet of artist , Sonja Landweer in the late 1960s . An artist in residence at the Kilkenny Design Workshops , where she had come into contact with Lance Clark , Landweers shoes became the basis for production of the Trek which was first attempted at Clarks factory in Dundalk . This was more attuned to the construction of stitch-down footwear . The shoe was initially launched in North America in 1971 as Trek , before featuring in the UK range in 1972 where it was renamed Hike , owing to an existing footwear trademark . The Trek man that first featured on the shoe was drafted by Lance Clark and refined by the advertising manager in Dundalk , Bob Patten . Popular culture . Some Clarks styles ( particularly the Desert Boot , Wallabee & Desert Trek ) were widely adopted as cultural icons by different subcultures and featured in songs as well as popular films and TV series . Jamaica . The most referenced is the popularity of the Clarks shoes in Jamaica and the association with the Jamaican rude boys movement . According to DJ , producer and cultural historian Al Fingers in his book , Clarks in Jamaica , this trend started in the late 1960s when the emerging youth culture of the recently independent Jamaica adopted the Clarks shoes as part of their uniform . The original gangster rude boy dem , a Clarks dem wear , producer Jah Thomas tells Fingers in the book . And in Jamaica a rude boy him nah wear cheap ting . Writes Fingers , In the early 70s , the rude boy/desert boot association became so strong that young males risked a beating by police simply for wearing a pair . You must be a thief , the police would say . How else would you afford such expensive Clarks ? He tells the story of an infamous Kingston police officer called Joe Williams , who carried out a raid on a dance being run by producer and label boss Sir Coxsone Dodd . The DJ Dennis Alcapone recalls the arrival of Superintendent Williams : He tell the DJ to turn the sound down , and he say : All whos wearing Clarks booty , stand on that side of the dance . And whos not wearing Clarks booty stand on this side . Because he knows that rude boys wear them , so that is a way of identifying them . Reggae and dancehall stars Dillinger , Trinity , Ranking Joe , Scorcher , Little John , Super Cat and countless others had sung about Clarks in the past . Some of the most famous songs written about the Clarks shoes in Jamaica are Little Johns Clarks Booty and Vybz Kartels Clarks ( over 2.6 million hits on YouTube ) . Mods . While the Clarks Desert Boots became fashionable in the Beatnik Culture in the US , they became popular with youth in the UK after being adopted by Sixties Mods who wore them as part of both smart and casual clothing outfits . While the shoes are appropriate for a unisex look , they were particularly popular with male mods who wore them with military parkas , tailor-made suits with narrow lapels ( sometimes made of mohair ) , thin ties , button-down collar shirts , and wool or cashmere jumpers . Paris riots . The joint influences of the Beatniks and Mods made the Clarks Desert Boots ( Les Clarks ) popular among the Parisian students who wore them during the 1968 riots . The Clarks Desert Boots carried on through to the Mod Revival era of the Seventies and Eighties becoming a true Retro Mod Classic . They famously featured quite heavily in the 1979 Quadrophenia , Franc Roddams film adaptation of the Whos rock opera influencing in turn the Britpop movement of the 1990s . Rappers . The Clarks Wallabees in particular were adopted in recent times by the American rapper community . Their appeal can be traced to a wave of Jamaican immigrants who came to New York in the 1970s and paired Clarks shoes with suits . African-Americans saw it as an alternative to sneakers and jeans and incorporated it into their look , said Slick Rick , a rapper , whose parents were born in Jamaica and later moved to the Bronx . Its a way to be casual but not look like a scrub . The ladies like that . The shoe was long a staple of fashionable West Indians in New York City but towards the 1990s had fallen out of favor in hip-hop circles who tended to gravitate toward Timberland boots or sneakers . The rebirth of the Clarks Wallabees as a cool staple from mid-late 1990s is linked with New York-based hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan . Wu members ( RZA , GZA , Method Man , Raekwon , Ghostface Killah , Inspectah Deck , U-God , Masta Killa , and the late Ol Dirty Bastard ) and in particular Raekwon and Ghostface Killah wore Wallabees because not only they found them aesthetically pleasing but also since no other rapper was wearing them , they showed that they werent victims of the trends . They even featured the name of the shoe in the lyrics of several songs , engendering a revival of the Wallabees as a hip-hop staple by the mid-late 1990s . This justified Ghostface Killah to call himself Wally Champ and feature custom-dyed Wallabee shoes on the cover of his 1996 Ironman album . His 2008 compilation album was also called The Wallabee Champ . Breaking Bad . In the cult TV series , Breaking Bad , lead character Walter White ( played by Bryan Cranston ) morphs from a bland high school chemistry teacher into an all-powerful drug kingpin with trademark pork pie hat , black sunglasses and goatee , but he still wears Wallabees , just about the only shoe he wears from the beginning of the five-season series until its completion . Heritage . The Shoe Museum was established in 1950 by Laurence Barber at 40 High Street near the Clarks headquarters in Street , Somerset . Today the museum displays some 1,500 shoes as well as related exhibits , describing the development of shoes from Roman times and especially detailing the growth of Clarks shoes and shoemaking in Somerset . In 2002 , a charity called the Alfred Gillett Trust was established to care for the archives and collections of C&J Clark Ltd and the Clark family . Working closely with The Shoe Museum , the trusts collections include family and business archives , catalogues and sale materials , artwork and furniture , costume , film and sound archives , historic shoes and shoe making machinery . The trust is named after Alfred Gillett , a cousin of the companys founders and an amateur paleontologist ; some of his fossils are included in the trusts collection . The trust is based at The Grange , a Grade II listed building close to the museum in Street .

Who was the chief executive officer of C. & J. Clark after Mar 2004?
|
C . & ; J . Clark C . & J . Clark International Ltd , trading as Clarks , is a British international shoe manufacturer and retailer . It was founded in 1825 by Cyrus Clark in Street , Somerset , England – where it still has its headquarters . The company has 1,400 branded stores and franchises around the world and also sells through third-party distribution . Clarks also operated concessions in Mothercare stores . The company is commonly known for its Desert Boot , a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe rubber sole , usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) based on an unlined suede boot profile produced in the bazaars of Cairo and worn by British officers in the Second World War . For the year ending January 2013 , the company made a profit of £150 million on sales of £1,433m making it the 31st largest private company in the United Kingdom . More than half of its £1.4bn annualised sales to January were generated abroad , and since 2010 the company has moved into India , where it now has 25 stand-alone stores , and relaunched marketing in China , where it has opened 400 outlets in partnership with local footwear retailers . Clarks was 84% owned by the Clark family , with the remaining 16% held by employees and related institutions . In November 2020 , after a company voluntary arrangement , Clarks was rescued through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital , in which the Clarks family lost overall control of the company . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings agreed to acquire 51% of LionRock Capital , so has a substantial stake in the Clarks brand . History . 1825–1862 – Rugs , slippers and prizes . Origins of C . & J . Clark can be traced back to 1821 when Cyrus Clark ( 1801–1866 ) entered into a partnership with a Quaker cousin in the trade of fellmongering , wool-stapling and tanning in Street , Somerset . By 1825 , this partnership had been dissolved and Cyrus relocated to a site on the High Street in Street , utilising premises that belonged to his father-in-law to exploit his idea of making rugs out of sheepskins instead of pulling off the wool . C . & J . Clark recognise this as the beginning of their business and continue to occupy the site upon which Cyrus started to this very day . By 1828 , as the business had grown , Cyrus appointed his younger brother James ( 1811–1906 ) as an apprentice . Educated away from Street , James was meant to be apprentice to a chemist in Bath , but successfully pleaded with his parents to let him stay in Street and help Cyrus . In 1828–1829 , whilst serving this apprenticeship , James began utilising the offcuts that were too short for making rugs to produce slippers ( known as Brown Petersburgs ) . The slippers were made using outworkers who collected materials from the factory , assembled footwear in workshops at home and returned the finished product for payment . This trade rapidly evolved , providing James with a legitimate claim to an equal partnership in the business when his apprenticeship was served in 1833 . Thereafter , it traded as C . & J . Clark . The brothers developed national and international trade ( Ireland in the 1820s , Canada by the 1830s , Australia in the 1850s ) and were notably innovative , winning the gold medal at the Great Exhibition in 1851 for their gutta percha elongated galosh . 1863–1903 – Riding the storm . A couple of bad years that combined volatile market conditions , a certain lack of financial rigour and questionable planning brought the business to the brink of bankruptcy in 1863 . The local Quaker community stepped in and part of the bailout deal was the nomination of James eldest son , William Stephens Clark ( 1839–1925 ) to the helm of C . & J . Clark . William Clark put in place an accelerated repayment plan that saw indebtedness drop considerably to 1873 when he became a partner in the business with his father James . For the first time in Britain , William mechanised the shoemaking process and went on to establish C . & J . Clark both as a pioneer of new technology and as a champion of footwear innovation . James withdrew from the partnership in 1889 , to be replaced by his son Francis , Williams younger brother . In line with the familys Quaker values , the capital was also extended beyond the factory to benefit social initiatives in Street : a school was founded so that young men and women could combine working in the factory with continuing their education , a theatre was opened , a library was built , along with an open-air swimming pool and town hall . Playing fields were established for the benefit of all and low-cost housing was provided by the company for its employees . 1904–1945 – Style , technology and foot measuring . In 1903 the partnership arrangement was discontinued in favour of a private limited company . This enabled the succession to the third generation of family members as children of William Stephens Clark became life directors alongside Francis and himself . Tasked with specific responsibilities , Alice Clark , John Bright Clark and Roger Clark developed distinct roles . Brothers John Bright and Roger Clark studied American making processes and techniques with a view to appointing a suitable candidate experienced in the American factory system that they might bring to Street . John Walter Bostock from Lynn , Massachusetts was recruited in 1904 . The implementation was a resounding success and Bostock was made a director of the company in 1928 . A London Office , opened in the West End in 1908 , supplemented the shoemaking knowledge with style information . A reputation for high-quality goods available in the latest fashions , was established in the early 1910s , and remained until the Second World War . A premium quality Tor range was produced on the principles of standard lines , followed by a range of affordable fashionable footwear called Wessex . The company had its first national press advertisement in 1934 and entered formally into retailing in 1937 through the acquisition of Abbotts chain of shops based around London and the provinces . Peter Lord was created by Hugh Bryan Clark as a retail brand to avoid alarming agents or alerting competitors to the companys activities . It steadily evolved into a national network of stores . Growing awareness that bad feet were the product of ill-fitting shoes determined Bostock to devise a new shoe fitting system based on the detailed analysis of thousands of foot measurements taken from local school children . In line with the findings the company launched its new childrens ranges in 1945 with a choice of four width fittings , simultaneously with the new Clarks foot gauge that acted as a scientific measuring instrument to aid the shop assistant . 1946–1995 – Growth and challenges . Expansion of the business post-war was largely initiated by fourth-generation family members : Bancroft Clark , appointed Managing Director and Chairman in 1942 and his cousins , Anthony Clark and Peter Clothier , accountable for Sales/Marketing and Manufacturing respectively . The start-up or acquisition of additional manufacturing facilities ( peaking at 17 domestic factories ) across the South West and South East of England and South Wales meant that the companys volume market share in the UK increased from 1.1 per cent in 1945 to 9 per cent by 1970 . Foreign manufacturing was also sought through agreements with existing domestic manufacturers : Ireland in the 1930s with Australia , Canada and South Africa added in the 1940s and 1950s . Nathan Clark ( younger brother of Bancroft ) negotiated a number of these agreements in his capacity as Overseas Manager until 1952 . Bancroft retired in 1967 . His son , Daniel Clark succeeded Peter Clothier as Managing Director in 1973 , with Anthony Clark remaining as Chairman . He retired in 1974 , when his son , Lance Clark , was appointed Managing Director of the manufacturing and wholesaling division . In 1974 Clarks bought the fashionable Ravel , Pinet and Mondaine . The company acquired K Shoes , based in Kendal , Cumbria to salvage it from a hostile takeover . The closure of factories started in 1978 , and continued throughout the 1980s . Daniel Clark resigned in 1986 replaced by John Clothier ( son of Peter ) who remained CEO throughout the turbulent buy-out negotiations with Berisford International Plc , a properties commodities group that attempted to take the troubled company public . While the proposal was defeated by shareholders at the EGM convened on 7 May 1993 it was also decided to move away from direct family management to professional managers , who would rationalise the business , and would be more comfortable with making the changes needed for its recovery . 1996–present : Worldwide growth and a global brand . The appointment of Tim Parker as CEO in 1996 was made on the initiation of the newly elected Chairman , Roger Pedder . Clarks format was radically changed with the Act Your Shoe Size Not Your Age Campaign in 1997 , which contributed to a freshening of the brand . Completion of the transition from manufacturing to a wholesaling and branded retailing business was conducted by Parkers successor , Peter Bolliger , who became CEO in 2002 . Closure of the companys remaining manufacturing interests meant that the last Clarks UK factory ceased production in 2005 followed by the last K factory in 2006 . Production was relocated off-shore , using third party factories , predominantly located in Asia . Transformation of retail and investment to modernise company infrastructure and systems was also completed . Street consequently remains the epicentre for company operations , a distribution facility having been constructed in the village in 2005 with the capacity to process 1 million pairs of shoes per week . Former CEO , Melissa Potter , who was appointed in 2010 , re-organized the business in four regions Americas , Asia Pacific , Europe and United Kingdom & Republic of Ireland ( from February 2013 ) , the re-launch in China , the move into India , the launch of the online business and the increased focus on building a global brand . Melissa Potter stepped down as CEO in September 2015 . Non-executive chairman Thomas O’Neill lead the business until 2017 when Mike Shearwood was appointed as the new CEO . Then following Shearwoods resignation in June 2018 , Stella David was announced as In-term CEO . In February 2019 Giorgio Presca was announced as the new CEO , Stella David returned to her role on the board . In May 2018 , the company announced that it would build a new production plant next to its headquarters in Street , Somerset . The £3 million factory would see the latest in robot technology and create 80 jobs and produce over 300,000 pairs of Desert Shoes per year . In November 2020 , Clarks announced a rescue plan through a £100 million investment by the Hong Kong-based private equity firm LionRock Capital after a company voluntary arrangement ( CVA ) , a form of insolvency , in which the Clarks family will lose overall control of the company . The CVA requires the agreement of landlords , who would receive a percentage of turnover as rent , and creditors . In January 2021 , Viva China Holdings has agreed to acquire 51 per cent of LionRock Capital Partners QiLe Limited , the private equity firm which will own the Clarks brand , for £51 million . The majority owner of Viva China Holdings is entrepreneur Li Ning , a former Olympic gold medal winner for China . This resulted in Victor Herrero , a Spanish executive and former CEO of Guess , being named as the new Clarks CEO in March of 2021 . Prior to his appointment as CEO , he served as a board member to Clarks since April 2019 . Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) . The history of C&J Clarks representation in America dates back to 1950 and the formation of Clarks of England Inc . Initiated by Bronson Davis , a car salesman , who had seen the Desert Boot at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . Davis established a sales organization covering 150 accounts with outlets that stocked Clarks products , predominantly Desert Boots . He also sponsored advertisements for Clarks shoes in The New Yorker and Esquire magazines . Davis established relations with some of Americas most prestigious retailers ; Abercrombie & Fitch , Neiman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue . The coverage for the Desert Boot was consolidated by advertising that targeted the campus trade of Berkeley , Cornell , Harvard , North Carolina and Yale Universities through ads in Esquire and college magazines . A young salesman named Robert ( Bob ) Cullerton followed Bronson Davis at the lead in America . Appointed President in April 1961 , he inherited a business focussed on the provision of mens casuals and the Desert Boot . He appointed designer Nancy Knox to create a new range advertised via Playboy and Gentlemens Quarterly . In parallel with American developments , C&J Clark Ltd . acquired the Blachford Shoe Manufacturing Co . Ltd . of Toronto in 1952 , establishing a foothold in Canada led by Hugh Woods and Harold Hughes . Similarities between the businesses in Canada and North America meant Cullerton , Woods and Hughes quickly collaborated . They developed a clear vision of what womens sandals and shoes were required to supplement the demand for mens casual offerings . An Italian resourcing programme was started by Woods in 1960 to get more style and variety into the ranges . Offices were opened in the Empire State Building , New York in April 1964 . Sales were also buoyed by the introduction of the Wallabee in the late 1960s and expansion towards the West Coast . Wholesaling interests were complemented with retail from the late 1970s through the acquisition of Hanover Shoes Inc . who owned 220 retail shops . At the same time C&J Clark decided to bring together its North American interests under one corporation to operate Hanover , Clarks of England and Clarks Canada . The business grew further in 1979 through the acquisition of Bostonian , a well-respected mens dress shoe brand , adding 25 more shop locations as well as entry into 70 leased stores and discounting outlets . Responsibility for Clarks Canada and Clarks of England was transferred to the C&J Clarks HQ in Street in 1986 . Clarks of England and Clarks Canada officially merged in 1987 to provide more operational efficiencies and more consistency of product offering for North America . Bob Infantino became CEO of the North American operations in 1992 , taking a key role in consolidating the manufacturing , retailing , and wholesaling activities in America into one company : Clarks Companies North America ( CCNA ) from 1995 . By 1998 , CCNA became principally a wholesaling business , serving 170 owned retail locations and 3,600 third party wholesale accounts , representing 14,200 retail outlets . Sales increased by 57 per cent from 1995 to 2001 , profits rose five-fold . Infantino left the company in 2010 , replaced by Jim Salzano who was at the helm of the North American business until 2013 , when CCNA officially became the Americas Region , one of the four regions resulting as part of the re-organization initiated by Melissa Potter . Since March 2016 Gary Champion has led the Americas Region as president , also serving on the Global Leadership Team . Products . School shoes . In the United Kingdom , Clarks has long been a popular choice of parents as a place to purchase school shoes for children to wear upon returning to school following the summer holidays . The Independent UK newspaper ranked Clarks as the number one provider of school shoes in the United Kingdom in 2017 , highlighting that it has been providing quality shoes for over 170 years and highlighting the fact that Clarks is one of only a few manufacturers of school shoes to be provided in half sizes . Part of the reason , despite being long-lasting and durable , parents have opted for Clarks school shoes for their children is that almost every Clarks design of school shoes has been classed as acceptable shoes in line with most primary and secondary school uniform policies . In recent years , notably in mid–2010s , schools have reviewed their uniform policies and have instead identified a few of Clarks designs for school shoes as being unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy of the school . In 2016 , nationwide attention was gathered after 12-year-old Alfie Ingerfeild from Bristol was sent home from school at the beginning of the new school term in September after wearing a pair of Harlem Spin shoes from Clarks Bootleg school shoe range . The school , Mangotsfield School , claimed that the Harlem Spin design was too much like trainers and therefore classed them as unacceptable and not complying with the school uniform policy , so much so to the extent that the Deputy Head Teacher of Mangotsfield School said that should the shoes be worn the following school then the pupil would be asked to remove them and forced to wear shoes from lost property . This is despite the fact that the Harlem Spin shoes were advertised by Clarks as being school shoes – Clarks did not give a statement in regards to the incident and questions over the design of the Harlem Spin shoes . In 2017 , a particular style of Mary Jane shoes called Dolly Babe was compared unfavourably to Clarks own Leader school shoe for boys , with parents and ministers both accusing the company of sexism and gender stereotypes – the Mary Janes in question being viewed as flimsy and stereotypically feminine with a heart-print insole and a heart-shaped charm on the toe box while the boys shoe was seen as sturdier . The company soon apologised over the matter and withdrew the shoe from sale . Clarks also issued a statement saying it would commit to designing gender-neutral footwear following customer feedback . In March 2018 , two pupils from Kearsley Academy were sent home from school due to their school shoes , both purchased from Clarks , for looking too much like trainers . The shoes in question were both purchased from Clarks Bootleg range , a designated brand of school shoes from Clarks marketed for older children and teenagers . Joyance sandal . During the 20th century , Clarks established a reputation for quality childrens footwear . The crepe rubber soled Joyance T-bar sandal for both boys and girls was one of their most popular designs . Launched in 1933 , it continued in production until 1972 . Desert Boot . The companys best-known product is the Desert Boot – a distinctive ankle height boot with crepe sole usually made out of calf suede leather traditionally supplied by Charles F Stead & Co tannery in Leeds . Officially launched in 1950 the Desert Boot was designed by Nathan Clark ( great-grandson of James Clark ) . Nathan Clark was an officer in the Royal Army Service Corps posted to Burma in 1941 with orders to help establish a supply route from Rangoon to the Chinese forces at Chongqing whilst also launching a series of offensives throughout South East Asia . Before leaving home his brother Bancroft had given him the mission to gather any information on footwear that might be of use to the company whilst he was travelling the world . The Desert Boot was the result of this mission . His discovery of the Desert Boot was made either at Staff College in 1944 or on leave in Kashmir where three divisions of the old Eighth Army ( transferred to the Far East from North Africa ) were wearing ankle-high suede boots manufactured in the bazaars of Cairo . Nathan sent sketches and rough patterns back to Bancroft , but no trials were made until after he returned to Street and cut the patterns himself . The Desert Boot was cut on the mens Guernsey Sandal last and sampled in a neutral beige-grey 2mm chrome bend split suede . The companys Stock Committee reacted badly to the sample and dismissed the idea as it would never sell . It was only in his capacity as Overseas Development Manager that Nathan had any success with the shoe after introducing it to Oskar Schoefler ( Fashion Editor , Esquire Magazine ) at the Chicago Shoe Fair in 1949 . He gave them substantial editorial credits with colour photographs in Esquire in early 1950 . Bronson Davies subsequently saw these articles and applied to represent the company in selling them across the US , long before they were available in the UK . The Desert Boot was initially sold in Britain through shops in Regent Street , featuring a Union Jack sewn into the label , targeted at tourists . Lance Clark is widely credited with popularising them in Europe during the 1960s . The Desert Boot have been manufactured at Shepton Mallet , small scale production having initially occurred at Street . During the course of time , Whitecross factory in Weston-Super-Mare was subcontracted to relieve Shepton factory of the manufacture of the Desert Boot , before the Bushacre factory at Locking Road , Weston-Super-Mare was constructed in 1958 . The Desert Boot was manufactured there until the closure of the factory in 2001 . Clarks announced in July 2017 , it was restarting manufacturing Desert Boots , using a new manufacturing unit featuring robot-assisted technology , at its headquarters in Street , Somerset . Up to 300,000 pairs a year of desert boots were to be made at the unit , creating up to eighty technical and managerial jobs . However , in January 2019 the company announced that this unit was to be closed , after failing to meet production targets . Wallabee . Produced by Clarks from 1967 and based on a moccasin called the Grashopper , launched in 1964 , by the German company Sioux , the Wallabee brand was manufactured at the Padmore and Barnes factory based in Kilkenny , Ireland , which Clarks had acquired in 1963 and continued to operate until its closure in 1987 , when it was the subject of a management buy-out . Managed by Lance Clark who was responsible for having negotiated the licence to produce the shoes in Kilkenny and arranged for the factory staff to be trained in the production of moccasin shoes , the product took off once the decision was taken to market it in North America in 1968 . As General Manager of the factory , Paddy Roberts took the shoe to a trade fair in New York in the same year , whereupon he quickly learnt that the trademark Grasshopper had been licensed . In conjunction with Jack Rose-Smith ( Clarks Overseas Shoes Export Manager ) , Bob Cullerton ( the President for Clarks in America/Clarks of England ) , Hugh Woods ( Managing Director of Clarks Canada ) , Roberts trademarked the name Wallabee . Desert Trek . Another style associated with the Lance Clark who had seen a Zwartjes version of the shoe on the feet of artist , Sonja Landweer in the late 1960s . An artist in residence at the Kilkenny Design Workshops , where she had come into contact with Lance Clark , Landweers shoes became the basis for production of the Trek which was first attempted at Clarks factory in Dundalk . This was more attuned to the construction of stitch-down footwear . The shoe was initially launched in North America in 1971 as Trek , before featuring in the UK range in 1972 where it was renamed Hike , owing to an existing footwear trademark . The Trek man that first featured on the shoe was drafted by Lance Clark and refined by the advertising manager in Dundalk , Bob Patten . Popular culture . Some Clarks styles ( particularly the Desert Boot , Wallabee & Desert Trek ) were widely adopted as cultural icons by different subcultures and featured in songs as well as popular films and TV series . Jamaica . The most referenced is the popularity of the Clarks shoes in Jamaica and the association with the Jamaican rude boys movement . According to DJ , producer and cultural historian Al Fingers in his book , Clarks in Jamaica , this trend started in the late 1960s when the emerging youth culture of the recently independent Jamaica adopted the Clarks shoes as part of their uniform . The original gangster rude boy dem , a Clarks dem wear , producer Jah Thomas tells Fingers in the book . And in Jamaica a rude boy him nah wear cheap ting . Writes Fingers , In the early 70s , the rude boy/desert boot association became so strong that young males risked a beating by police simply for wearing a pair . You must be a thief , the police would say . How else would you afford such expensive Clarks ? He tells the story of an infamous Kingston police officer called Joe Williams , who carried out a raid on a dance being run by producer and label boss Sir Coxsone Dodd . The DJ Dennis Alcapone recalls the arrival of Superintendent Williams : He tell the DJ to turn the sound down , and he say : All whos wearing Clarks booty , stand on that side of the dance . And whos not wearing Clarks booty stand on this side . Because he knows that rude boys wear them , so that is a way of identifying them . Reggae and dancehall stars Dillinger , Trinity , Ranking Joe , Scorcher , Little John , Super Cat and countless others had sung about Clarks in the past . Some of the most famous songs written about the Clarks shoes in Jamaica are Little Johns Clarks Booty and Vybz Kartels Clarks ( over 2.6 million hits on YouTube ) . Mods . While the Clarks Desert Boots became fashionable in the Beatnik Culture in the US , they became popular with youth in the UK after being adopted by Sixties Mods who wore them as part of both smart and casual clothing outfits . While the shoes are appropriate for a unisex look , they were particularly popular with male mods who wore them with military parkas , tailor-made suits with narrow lapels ( sometimes made of mohair ) , thin ties , button-down collar shirts , and wool or cashmere jumpers . Paris riots . The joint influences of the Beatniks and Mods made the Clarks Desert Boots ( Les Clarks ) popular among the Parisian students who wore them during the 1968 riots . The Clarks Desert Boots carried on through to the Mod Revival era of the Seventies and Eighties becoming a true Retro Mod Classic . They famously featured quite heavily in the 1979 Quadrophenia , Franc Roddams film adaptation of the Whos rock opera influencing in turn the Britpop movement of the 1990s . Rappers . The Clarks Wallabees in particular were adopted in recent times by the American rapper community . Their appeal can be traced to a wave of Jamaican immigrants who came to New York in the 1970s and paired Clarks shoes with suits . African-Americans saw it as an alternative to sneakers and jeans and incorporated it into their look , said Slick Rick , a rapper , whose parents were born in Jamaica and later moved to the Bronx . Its a way to be casual but not look like a scrub . The ladies like that . The shoe was long a staple of fashionable West Indians in New York City but towards the 1990s had fallen out of favor in hip-hop circles who tended to gravitate toward Timberland boots or sneakers . The rebirth of the Clarks Wallabees as a cool staple from mid-late 1990s is linked with New York-based hip-hop group the Wu-Tang Clan . Wu members ( RZA , GZA , Method Man , Raekwon , Ghostface Killah , Inspectah Deck , U-God , Masta Killa , and the late Ol Dirty Bastard ) and in particular Raekwon and Ghostface Killah wore Wallabees because not only they found them aesthetically pleasing but also since no other rapper was wearing them , they showed that they werent victims of the trends . They even featured the name of the shoe in the lyrics of several songs , engendering a revival of the Wallabees as a hip-hop staple by the mid-late 1990s . This justified Ghostface Killah to call himself Wally Champ and feature custom-dyed Wallabee shoes on the cover of his 1996 Ironman album . His 2008 compilation album was also called The Wallabee Champ . Breaking Bad . In the cult TV series , Breaking Bad , lead character Walter White ( played by Bryan Cranston ) morphs from a bland high school chemistry teacher into an all-powerful drug kingpin with trademark pork pie hat , black sunglasses and goatee , but he still wears Wallabees , just about the only shoe he wears from the beginning of the five-season series until its completion . Heritage . The Shoe Museum was established in 1950 by Laurence Barber at 40 High Street near the Clarks headquarters in Street , Somerset . Today the museum displays some 1,500 shoes as well as related exhibits , describing the development of shoes from Roman times and especially detailing the growth of Clarks shoes and shoemaking in Somerset . In 2002 , a charity called the Alfred Gillett Trust was established to care for the archives and collections of C&J Clark Ltd and the Clark family . Working closely with The Shoe Museum , the trusts collections include family and business archives , catalogues and sale materials , artwork and furniture , costume , film and sound archives , historic shoes and shoe making machinery . The trust is named after Alfred Gillett , a cousin of the companys founders and an amateur paleontologist ; some of his fossils are included in the trusts collection . The trust is based at The Grange , a Grade II listed building close to the museum in Street .

Which team did Jerry Hairston Jr. play for before Jun 2001?
|
Jerry Hairston Jr . Jerry Wayne Hairston Jr . ( born May 29 , 1976 ) is an American former professional baseball infielder and outfielder . He played sixteen seasons in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) for the Baltimore Orioles , Chicago Cubs , Texas Rangers , Cincinnati Reds , New York Yankees , San Diego Padres , Washington Nationals , Milwaukee Brewers , and Los Angeles Dodgers . He played every position except pitcher and catcher during his baseball career . He is the grandson of former major leaguer Sam Hairston , the son of former major leaguer Jerry Hairston Sr. , and the brother of Scott Hairston . He helped the Yankees win the 2009 World Series , beating the Philadelphia Phillies , giving him his only World Series title . High school and college . In High School , he was a two-time All-State selection at Naperville North High School in baseball and an all-area selection in basketball . He was drafted in the 42nd round of the 1995 Major League Baseball draft by the Baltimore Orioles but chose instead to go to college . Hairston played college ball at Southern Illinois University in 1996 and 1997 , where he batted .360 for his career and was the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year in 1996 . In both years he played collegiate summer baseball in the Cape Cod Baseball League , playing for the Bourne Braves in 1996 , and the Wareham Gatemen in 1997 . He was later inducted as a member of the Southern Illinois Baseball Hall of Fame . Professional career . Baltimore Orioles . Hairston was drafted in the 11th round of the 1997 Major League Baseball draft by the Baltimore Orioles . He made his professional debut in 1997 with the rookie-league Bluefield Orioles , where he hit .330 in 59 games . In 1998 , he made a fast rise up the farm system , starting in A with the Frederick Keys , where he played in 80 games and hit .302 , then he was promoted to the AA Bowie Baysox , where he hit .326 in 55 games and received a September promotion to the Major Leagues . He made his major league debut with the Orioles on September 11 , 1998 against the Anaheim Angels at second base , he was hitless in three at-bats in that game . He appeared in a total of 7 games in 1998 , primarily as a pinch runner or late inning defensive replacement , and did not get a hit in 7 at-bats . In 1999 and 2000 , he split his time between the AAA Rochester Red Wings and the Orioles . He recorded his first Major League hit on June 27 , 1999 off of New York Yankees pitcher Orlando Hernández and his first home run came off of Joey Hamilton of the Toronto Blue Jays on July 1 , 1999 . He had fairly regular playing time with the Orioles in 2001 and 2002 and was used more as a utility player in 2003 and 2004 . In his seven seasons with Baltimore , he played in 558 games , batting .261 . Chicago Cubs . He was traded ( along with Oriole prospects Mike Fontenot and David Crouthers ) to the Chicago Cubs in the 2005 offseason for Sammy Sosa . The Cubs attempted to use Hairston as a leadoff man , but he finished the 2005 season with an unremarkable on-base percentage of .336 and stole only 8 bases in 17 attempts . Even though most Cubs fans initially welcomed the dismissal of Sosa—whose performance was on the decline and was seen as a problematic teammate—the poor play of Hairston would eventually cause many fans to sour on this particular trade . In two seasons with the Cubs , he hit .251 in 152 games . Texas Rangers . Hairstons statistics declined further at the start of the 2006 season , and on May 31 , he was traded to the Texas Rangers for Phil Nevin . Hairston was released from the Rangers after the 2006 season but re-signed to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training . Hairston won a spot on the opening day roster , as a reserve outfielder and utility player . A series of injuries to teammates Hank Blalock , Ian Kinsler , Mark Teixeira , and Frank Catalanotto , as well as the trades of Teixeira and Kenny Lofton , led to Hairston playing on a regular basis throughout the 2007 season . Hairston became a free agent after the season . In his two seasons with Texas , he hit .194 in 136 games . Cincinnati Reds . On March 3 , 2008 , Hairston signed a minor league contract with the Cincinnati Reds . On April 21 , his contract was purchased by the Reds and was added to the roster . He was re-signed after the season , on January 7 , 2009 , to a one-year contract ; the contract contained $2 million in guaranteed money . In two seasons with the Reds , he hit .287 in 166 games . World Baseball Classic . Hairston represented Mexico at the 2009 World Baseball Classic alongside his brother Scott . Hairstons mother was born in Mexico , making him eligible to play for the Mexican team . He had 4 hits in 14 at-bats in the Classic . New York Yankees . On July 31 , 2009 , he was traded to the New York Yankees for minor league catcher Chase Weems . On August 1 , 2009 , Hairston got his first hit and RBI as a Yankee . On October 17 , 2009 , he got his first career post-season hit in his first career post-season at-bat and later ended a 13-inning ALCS Game 2 by scoring on an error by the Angels Maicer Izturis . This gave the Yankees a 2–0 advantage going into the third game of the series . He had 1 hit in 6 at-bats for the Yankees in the 2009 World Series . In his half season with the Yanks , he hit .237 with 2 homeruns and 12 RBIs in 45 games . San Diego Padres . On January 18 , 2010 , Hairston signed a one-year , $2.15 million contract with the San Diego Padres , the same team as his brother , Scott Hairston , was playing on . Hairstons 2010 season was cut short in September with a fractured right tibia , but he still played in 119 games with the Padres , hitting .244 . Washington Nationals . On January 19 , 2011 , Hairston agreed to a one-year , $2 million contract with the Washington Nationals that included over $1 million in incentives . He played in 75 games for them , hitting .268 . Milwaukee Brewers . On July 30 , 2011 , Hairston was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers for Double-A outfielder Erik Komatsu . He played in 45 games for the Brewers , hitting .274 . Los Angeles Dodgers . On December 5 , 2011 , the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Hairston to a two-year contract worth $6 million . On June 1 , 2012 Hairston was part of a Dodgers lineup that featured the sons of five former Major Leaguers ( along with Tony Gwynn Jr. , Iván DeJesús Jr. , Dee Gordon and Scott Van Slyke ) . This was the first time in Major League history that this had occurred . It was also the first time a starting infield of four major league sons had ever occurred : first baseman Van Slyke , second baseman Hairston , third baseman De Jesus and shortstop Gordon . On August 22 , it was determined that Hairston would need surgery on his left hip . The injury had bothered him for some time before he finally went on the disabled list on August 13 . The surgery would sideline him for the rest of the season . In 78 games with the Dodgers in 2012 , Hairston hit .273 while playing numerous different positions . In 2013 , Hairston was a key reserve for the Dodgers , playing 28 games at third base , 23 in left field , 4 in right field , 13 at first base and 1 at second base . He struggled with the bat however , hitting just .211 . Broadcasting career .

This was the first time in Major League history that this had occurred . It was also the first time a starting infield of four major league sons had ever occurred : first baseman Van Slyke , second baseman Hairston , third baseman De Jesus and shortstop Gordon . On August 22 , it was determined that Hairston would need surgery on his left hip . The injury had bothered him for some time before he finally went on the disabled list on August 13 .

When Simeone was 14 , his youth coach Victorio Spinetto nicknamed him Cholo , as his energetic play reminded him of former Boca Juniors player and Argentine international Carmelo Simeone ( no relation ) who possessed the nickname . After starting his career with Vélez Sarsfield , Simeone moved to Italian Serie A club Pisa in 1990 . The club was relegated in his first season and , after it failed to gain promotion the following year , Simeone was sold to Sevilla in the Spanish La Liga . Simeone played two seasons in Seville , after which he was signed by Atlético Madrid . At Atlético , he was part of the team which won the double of the Liga title and Copa del Rey during the 1995–96 season . In 1997 , Simeone returned to Serie A with Inter Milan and played two full seasons , winning the 1997–98 UEFA Cup in a side spearheaded by Ronaldo up front . In 1999 , Simeone joined fellow Argentines Néstor Sensini , Matías Almeyda and Juan Sebastián Verón at Sven-Göran Erikssons Lazio . The side had gone close to the Scudetto in the season before Simeones arrival and he helped deliver the championship after a season , where Juventus led the standings by two points going into the last day . A Juve loss at rainy Perugia coupled with Lazios comfortable home win over Reggina at the Stadio Olimpico ensured Simeones first Serie A title . After winning the double in Spain , he would then add the Italian double as Lazio edged out Inter to claim the 1999–2000 Coppa Italia . He went on to play three more seasons in Rome , which included more last day drama as Simeones goal against former club Inter on the last day of the 2001–02 campaign effectively ruined his old employers title dream . Simeone returned to Atlético Madrid in 2003 , spending his next two seasons there . In total , he played in 165 matches for Atlético , scoring 31 goals . In 2005 , he left Europe to finish his playing career in Argentina with Racing Club . International career . In 1992 , Simeone represented the Argentina under-23 team at the 1992 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in Paraguay , which saw Argentina fail to qualify for the 1992 Summer Olympics . For the Argentina senior team , Simeone amassed 106 caps , the first coming in 1988 . Simeone won the 1991 and 1993 editions of the Copa América with Argentina . He played in the 1994 , 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups . He was a member of the team that won the silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta , Georgia , as one of the three over-23 players allowed per squad . As a midfielder , Simeone scored 11 goals for his country , including one in the final of the 1992 King Fahd Cup . During the 1998 World Cup , Englands David Beckham was sent off for kicking Simeone in retaliation for a foul ( see also Argentina–England football rivalry ) . Simeone later said he simulated the injury from the kick in order to get Beckham sent off . Sports Illustrated was critical of the Argentinians theatrics in that incident , stating Simeone first delivered a heavy-handed challenge on Beckham and then fell like a ton of bricks when Beckham retaliated . In the following match , against the Netherlands , Simeone was injured by a tackle from Arthur Numan during his teams defeat . In the 2002 World Cup , his last , Argentina was eliminated in the group stage , which included a 1–0 loss to England in which Beckham converted a penalty . Simeone said he was embarrassed at having surpassed Diego Maradona as Argentinas most capped player , though Simeone has since been surpassed by Roberto Ayala , Javier Mascherano , Javier Zanetti and Lionel Messi . Style of play . Simeone was regarded as a tenacious , versatile , hard-working and complete two-way midfielder who was mobile , good in the air and capable both of winning balls and starting attacking plays , also having a penchant for scoring several goals himself . This enabled him to play anywhere in midfield throughout his career , although he was usually deployed in the centre in a box-to-box or defensive midfield role . He was also used in an offensive midfield role on occasion , even if it was not his optimal playing position . A talented yet combative player , he was primarily known for his leadership , tactical versatility , intelligence , strength and stamina , although he was also praised by pundits for his technique , vision and passing range . Simeone once described his style as holding a knife between his teeth . His main inspirations as a player were Brazilian midfielder Falcão and German midfielder Lothar Matthäus . Managerial career . Early years . Simeone ended his playing career for Racing Club , playing his last match on 17 February 2006 , and then became manager for the same team . After a rough start , the team made an impressive finish in the 2006 Clausura . When a new club president was elected , Simeone left Racing in May 2006 and was replaced by Reinaldo Merlo . On 18 May , Simeone became head coach of Estudiantes de La Plata and soon led them to their first league title in 23 years after defeating Boca Juniors 2–1 in a final match played on 13 December 2006 . In an October 2006 poll in the sports daily Olé , Simeone was voted as the best manager in the Argentine league . He was also praised as a born manager by former Argentine international Roberto Perfumo . Simeone left Estudiantes after the end of the 2007 Apertura , where Estudiantes was not a contender after a poor start , but had a strong finish of nine games without defeat . On 15 December 2007 , Simeone was unveiled as the new River Plate coach , succeeding Daniel Passarella . The contract was reported to be for one year , starting on 3 January 2008 . After an early elimination in the Copa Libertadores , losing to San Lorenzo in the second round , Simeone and River Plate went on to win the 2008 Clausura championship after beating Olimpo 2–1 in the Monumental . On 7 November 2008 , Simeone announced his resignation as coach of River Plate after their elimination in the quarter-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana by Mexican side Chivas and a poor run of form of 11 domestic matches without a win , which left them bottom of the Primera División Argentina with only six matches remaining . On 15 April 2009 , Simeone joined San Lorenzo to replace Miguel Ángel Russo following the clubs exit in the first round of the 2009 Copa Libertadores . On 3 April 2010 , Simeone resigned from San Lorenzo due to poor results and mounting criticism . Catania and Racing Club . On 19 January 2011 , Simeone flew to Sicily to join Serie A side Catania , replacing Marco Giampaolo , who left the club just hours earlier . On 1 June 2011 , Simeone left his post after helping Catania stave off relegation . On 21 June 2011 , Simeone was named as the new coach of Racing Club for a second spell in charge , replacing Miguel Ángel Russo , who had resigned the week prior . Atlético Madrid . 2011–13 : Europa League and Copa del Rey triumphs . On 23 December 2011 , Simeone was unveiled as the new Atlético Madrid coach , succeeding Gregorio Manzano , who had been dismissed the day before following defeat to third-tier Albacete in the Copa del Rey . His first game as Atlético manager was a 0–0 away draw against Manuel Pellegrinis Malaga . His first season ended with the team winning the UEFA Europa League by beating Athletic Bilbao 3–0 in the final in Bucharest . On 31 August 2012 , his Atlético side won the UEFA Super Cup after defeating Chelsea 4–1 at the Stade Louis II in Monaco . In the domestic league , the team made an impressive start to the season , finishing the first half in second place , behind only Barcelona and above city rivals Real Madrid . Eventually , Simeone led the team to a third-place finish in the league , which at the time was the best finish in 17 years for Atlético . On 17 May 2013 , he won the Copa del Rey after Atlético defeated rivals Real Madrid 2–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium . 2013–17 : La Liga win and Champions League finals . Atlético began the 2013–14 season with a similar squad to their prior season , despite selling star player Radamel Falcao to Monaco for a reported €60 million fee and acquiring David Villa from Barcelona on a free transfer . While the season began with a defeat to Barça in the 2013 Supercopa de España , the team recorded eight-straight victories in La Liga , the best league start in club history . This included a 1–0 away win at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid , making Simeone the first Atlético manager since Claudio Ranieri in 1999 to record a league victory there . Atlético finished the first half of the season in first place in La Liga , level on points with Barcelona at 47 . In the last round of the season , on 17 May , Atlético needed at least a draw in the Camp Nou against Barcelona to be crowned champions for the first time since 1996 , while a loss would give the title to Barcelona . A Diego Godín header from a corner kick in the 48th minute gave Atlético an equaliser and the draw they needed to win their tenth league title and first since 1996 , when Simeone himself was an Atlético player . Simeone became the second Argentine manager after Helenio Herrera to hand Atlético a Spanish championship , and the second manager after Luis Aragonés to win it both as a player and as a coach of the team . Under Simeone , Atlético collected 90 points in La Liga , surpassing its 1996 record of 87 , making the 2013–14 season the most successful in club history . Also in 2013–14 , Atlético finished top of their Champions League group and qualified for the quarter-finals with a 5–1 aggregate win over Milan in the round of 16 . This was the first time they had reached the Champions League quarter-finals since 1996–97 , when Simeone played for the team . In the quarter-finals , Atlético defeated Barcelona 2–1 on aggregate from Simeones tactic of cutting the swift-passing midfield of Barcelona in two , thus denying them space and isolating Xavi and Andrés Iniesta from forwards Lionel Messi and Neymar . In the semi-finals , Atlético defeated José Mourinhos Chelsea 3–1 at Stamford Bridge following a goalless draw at home to reach the Champions League final for only the second time in club history , the first being in 1974 . Atlético was the only undefeated team in the Champions League prior to the final , recording nine wins and three draws , and had the best defence in the competition , conceding only 6 goals in 12 matches . In the final on 24 May 2014 , Atlético faced city rivals Real Madrid at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon . Despite leading from Diego Godíns header , Atlético conceded a late equaliser in the 93rd minute of the match . The goal hampered Atléticos morale , and the team ended up losing 4–1 after extra time , with Simeone losing the opportunity to be the third Argentine coach to win the Champions League , after Luis Carniglia and Helenio Herrera . After the final goal , Real Madrids Raphaël Varane kicked the ball towards Simeone , causing Simeone to run onto the pitch in anger . He was sent to the stands , and Varane was booked for the incident . Reflecting , Simeone said , I also made a mistake with my reaction . Hes a young guy with a bright future . Simeone also admitted a mistake in selecting striker Diego Costa to start the match , as he had been recently injured and was forced off after eight minutes . In the summer of 2014 , Chelsea acquired Diego Costa , Filipe Luís and Thibaut Courtois from Atlético , and also David Villa moved to the MLS . In response , Atlético acquired striker Mario Mandžukić from Bayern Munich , goalkeeper Jan Oblak from Benfica and forwards Antoine Griezmann from Real Sociedad and Ángel Correa from San Lorenzo , and recovered young midfielder Saúl who was on loan at Rayo Vallecano . The season started with Atlético defeating city rivals Real Madrid for the Spanish Super Cup in August and repeating the previous years victory in the Bernabéu for the league in September . In January , the team acquired Fernando Torres on loan from Milan . However , Atlético finished the league in third place and was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid 1–0 , on aggregate . Before the start of the 2015–16 season , Filipe Luís returned from Chelsea with the team also acquiring Montenegrin defender Stefan Savić and Belgian midfielder Yannick Carrasco . Mario Mandžukić left for Juventus . In 2015–16 , Atlético was the team with the best defensive record in Europes big five leagues , only allowing 18 goals scored against them in 38 La Liga games . Atlético was also the team with the most clean sheets in their games . The team was contending the league title until the last fixture against Barcelona and Real Madrid , settling for third with 88 points . In the UEFA Champions League , Simeone led Atlético to their second Champions League final in three seasons , becoming the first Argentine manager since Héctor Cúper to reach two Champions League finals . Atlético had defeated PSV on penalties during the round of 16 , beat defending champions Barcelona 3–2 on aggregate and favourites Bayern Munich 2–2 , going through on away goals , setting up a repeat of the 2014 final again facing Real Madrid . The match ended 1–1 after extra time leading to a penalty shootout . Juanfran was the only player to miss his kick , enabling Cristiano Ronaldo to score Reals last spot kick , condemning Atlético to a second Champions League final defeat in three seasons . In the summer of 2016 , Atlético purchased forward Kevin Gameiro from Sevilla , midfielder Nicolás Gaitán from Benfica , and defender Šime Vrsaljko from Sassuolo . They also acquired the rights to Fernando Torres ( previously on loan from Milan ) . The team again finished third in the league and lost in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals , again to Real Madrid . 2017–21 : Second Europa League and La Liga victories . On 5 September 2017 , Simeone extended his contract with Atlético for two more years , until June 2020 . In the 2017–18 season , Atlético would finish in second place in La Liga , behind Barcelona but ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League group stage , Atlético did not advance and dropped to the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League . In January 2018 , Diego Costa returned to Atlético from Chelsea . On 16 May 2018 , the team won the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final against Marseille . Simeone was sent to the stands in the first leg of the semi-finals against Arsenal and was suspended . He was forced to watch the second leg and final from the stands . In the 2018–19 season , Atlético bought Thomas Lemar from AS Monaco and Rodri from Villarreal , and in January 2019 acquired Álvaro Morata on loan from Chelsea , while longtime team captain Gabi signed for Qatari club Al-Sadd before the start of the season . The team again finished second in the league behind Barcelona and ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the Champions League , they advanced to the first knockout round , where they were eliminated by Juventus , winning the first leg 2–0 at the Wanda Metropolitano but losing the return leg 3–0 in Turin . Simeone guided his side into the last 16 of UEFA Champions League for the sixth time since he came to reign in 2011 , while before his arrival Atlético had only done so 7 times in 60 years . On 11 March 2020 , Atletico Madrid eliminated the reigning European champions Liverpool with a 3–2 triumph after extra-time at Anfield , winning 4–2 on aggregate , after Saul secured a 1–0 first-leg win in the reverse via a 5th-minute strike . On 27 June 2020 , Simeone won his 195th game in the top-flight of Spanish football as Atleti beat Deportivo Alavés 2–1 on Saturday . With the triumph , the Argentine has overtaken the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 194 ) , as the manager with the most La Liga wins in the club’s history . On 7 July 2020 , Simeone overtook John Toshack as the third coach with the most games managed at a single club in the history of the top-flight of Spanish football during Atletis match against Celta Vigo , his 323rd game in La Liga . Only Miguel Muñoz ( Real Madrid , 424 ) and , the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 407 ) remain ahead of him . For the 2020–21 season , Atlético parted ways with longtime-serving forward Diego Costa and acquired Luis Suárez after his departure from Barcelona . The team brought back Yannick Carrasco from Dalian Professional and also acquired Geoffrey Kondogbia from Valencia , Lucas Torreira on loan from Arsenal and Moussa Dembelé on loan from Lyon , while Thomas Partey left for Arsenal and Álvaro Morata was loaned to Juventus . On 17 October 2020 , Simeone reached his 200th win in the league in a 2–0 away win against Celta Vigo . On 30 December 2020 , he reached his 500th match in charge of Atletico Madrid in a 1–0 win over Getafe . On 10 March 2021 , Simeone overtook Luis Aragonés for the most wins ever as manager of the club in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao , his 309th win overall . After a 4–0 away defeat to Bayern Munich and many injuries to key players in November 2020 , Simeone modified the formation of his squad by introducing a three-man defence for the first time in his tenure coaching Atlético . In this formation , Carrasco played as a wing-back , with left centre-back Mario Hermoso being instructed to also cover the left-back position when Carrasco moved forward , which made the formation tactically-flexible between a three-man and four-man defence . After the formational change , Atlético were solidified defensively and began a streak of victories , including a 1–0 home victory against Barcelona . This streak propelled the team to a 10-point lead over Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2020-21 La Liga title race by February . However , a series of bad results from February to April meant that Atlético were eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea and Real Madrid closed the league gap to two points before the final matchday , meaning Atlético needed a victory in the last La Liga round to win the championship . Thanks to a Suárez goal in the 67th minute , Atlético Madrid managed eventually to win their second La Liga title under Simeone , after a 2–1 away win over Real Valladolid on the final match day . Tactics . Simeones preferred formation is the 4–4–2 , which he first practised when he was manager of Estudiantes de la Plata in 2006 . In this formation , the two wingers move inside and act like attacking midfielders , creating space for the full backs and fluidity in the attack , effectively being a 4–2–2–2 when the team is on the offensive . The two holding midfielders provide the defensive muscle needed to win midfield battles . Utilizing this formation , Simeones Estudiantes won the 2006 Apertura by beating Boca Juniors 2–1 while being down to ten men from the first half . It is essentially this formation that Simeone also utilizes at Atlético Madrid . Simeone has listed his coaching influences being Marcelo Bielsa , Sven-Göran Eriksson , Alfio Basile , Victorio Spinetto , Luigi Simoni , Carlos Bilardo and Radomir Antić . When he was manager at River Plate , a team graced with the attacking talents of Radamel Falcao , Alexis Sánchez , Ariel Ortega , Mauro Rosales , Diego Buonanotte , Augusto Fernández and Sebastián Abreu , Simeone played an aggressive 3–3–1–3 formation reminiscent of those used by influential manager ( and Simeones mentor ) Marcelo Bielsa . Using this formation , River won the 2008 Clausura , but in the next season , with Sánchez having returned to Udinese and several players suffering from injuries , the 3–3–1–3 backfired and River finished bottom of the table , with Simeone being sacked in the process . A common feature of Simeones teams is defensive compactness and quick counter-attacks . Their defending consists of two stages : deep defending in their own defensive third in a narrow 4–4–2 consisting of two closely connected defensive lines of four players , and counter-pressing in their opponents third to win the ball high up the pitch . When the ball is won , the team attack as a unit , deploying their fluid 4–2–2–2 formation , with the forwards often shifting to the flanks to create even more space . In defense , the key idea is to force opponents into wide areas , gain numerical dominance in the balls zone and steal the ball or force the opponent into a backward pass . Counter-pressing consists of reducing an opposing teams space , disrupting their build-up and reducing the number of safe positions for opponents movement on the pitch , thus eliminating goal threats . Claudio Ranieris Premier League-winning 2015–16 Leicester City team has been compared to Simeones Atletico Madrid for upsetting bigger teams by also playing a narrow 4–4–2 and being compact in defense and midfield . In the short time he managed Italian side Catania in 2011 , he switched between a 4–2–3–1 and a 4–3–1–2 in order to bring out the best from playmaker Adrián Ricchiuti while employing many of the counter-attacking features that would later become his trademark at Atlético . Ricchiuti was tasked with linking the midfield and attack and creating chances for whichever of Maxi López , Gonzalo Bergessio and Francesco Lodi were selected up front . Simeone said he did not want to fossilise [ himself ] with a rigid tactic , saying managers cannot have a favourite formation for the simple fact that we have to adapt not to what we like but to what we have to work with . His players stayed compact and narrow when defending , with the widemen – two of Ezequiel Schelotto , Giuseppe Mascara , Raphael Martinho and Alejandro Gómez – expected to drop back and tuck in when out of possession ; meanwhile , playmaker Ricchiuti and the central striker – more often than not López – moved back into midfield rather than pressing the centre-backs , with the aim being preventing simple passes into the middle of the pitch . Simeone is also renowned for his attention to detail and quick adaptability to a games changing situations . During his time as manager of Atlético Madrid , he has placed emphasis on creating chances from set-pieces , while not allowing the opponent to create chances from set-pieces . Several important goals , including the one that gave Atlético the 2014 La Liga title , have been scored from set-pieces . While his teams arent known for controlling possession , they are lauded for controlling the pace and space in which a game is played . He is quick in making tactical changes to influence a games outcome . In the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern in Munich , with his team down 1–0 after 45 minutes , he moved Saúl Ñíguez from the right wing to a holding midfielder position , changing the 4–4–2 to a 4–1–4–1 formation with Carrasco and Griezmann on the flanks . While on paper Saúl was seemingly out of his normal position in this role , in effect this change meant that midfielders Gabi and Koke , who were overwhelmed in the first half by Bayerns pressure , would now be shielded by Saúls presence behind them , and the midfield would regain its much-needed composure . Eventually , the change had the desired outcome , with Atlético equalizing through Antoine Griezmann and advancing to the Champions League final . Simeone has also earned praise for instilling confidence and discipline in his players , which has helped his teams emerge victorious under adverse conditions . For example , in the last game of 2014s La Liga , at the Camp Nou against Barcelona , when Atlético needed a draw to win the championship , both Diego Costa and Arda Turan were taken out of the game due to injury in the first half , and Barcelona opened the scoring . However , Simeone was able to rally his team at half-time and Godins header in the second half gave them the much needed draw . Simeone said : At half-time I told them to be relaxed . In the first half we did well . I knew if we scored , it would cost them . Thats what happened . There was an amazing collective effort from everyone . During a leg in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League semi-final against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium , Atlético were playing without key players Diego Costa , Juanfran , Filipe Luis and Vitolo , and in the 10th minute , Sime Vrsaljko was sent off with a red card , followed by Simeone being also sent off . Despite playing with ten men , without their manager at the bench , with most players in makeshift positions , and enjoying only 24% of ball possession , the team lost neither its shape nor its composure , eventually holding out to a 1–1 draw that was enough for them to progress to the final . Simeone taught us to enjoy suffering , Arda Turan said in 2015 , supporting this feeling that the Argentinean coach is a man who takes the best things out of bad situations . Diego Godin has also said about his manager : The players would die for him [ Simeone ] . He gives belief that we can compete against much bigger teams . We have great confidence in him , we are with him to the death and also he with us - and that shows on the pitch . I believe the whole team has confidence in the coach and we all know the path we have to take : he marks the way for us and we go with him until the death . That is how you achieve things . In the 2020–21 season , amid COVID-19 and injury crisis among the teams forwards , Simeone experimented with back three formations , such as 5–3–2 and 3–5–2 . This saw them adapt to a new , more possession-heavy style , averaging the majority of possession over the season for the first time since their victorious 2013–14 season . Personal life . Simeones sons Giovanni and Gianluca are professional footballers , currently playing for Cagliari Calcio and CD Ibiza respectively . His third son , Giuliano , has been seen as a ball-boy for Atlético Madrid . On 12 September 2020 , Simeone tested positive for COVID-19 . Career statistics . International . Source : Honours .

He was a member of the team that won the silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta , Georgia , as one of the three over-23 players allowed per squad . As a midfielder , Simeone scored 11 goals for his country , including one in the final of the 1992 King Fahd Cup . During the 1998 World Cup , Englands David Beckham was sent off for kicking Simeone in retaliation for a foul ( see also Argentina–England football rivalry ) . Simeone later said he simulated the injury from the kick in order to get Beckham sent off . Sports Illustrated was critical of the Argentinians theatrics in that incident , stating Simeone first delivered a heavy-handed challenge on Beckham and then fell like a ton of bricks when Beckham retaliated . In the following match , against the Netherlands , Simeone was injured by a tackle from Arthur Numan during his teams defeat . In the 2002 World Cup , his last , Argentina was eliminated in the group stage , which included a 1–0 loss to England in which Beckham converted a penalty . Simeone said he was embarrassed at having surpassed Diego Maradona as Argentinas most capped player , though Simeone has since been surpassed by Roberto Ayala , Javier Mascherano , Javier Zanetti and Lionel Messi . Style of play . Simeone was regarded as a tenacious , versatile , hard-working and complete two-way midfielder who was mobile , good in the air and capable both of winning balls and starting attacking plays , also having a penchant for scoring several goals himself . This enabled him to play anywhere in midfield throughout his career , although he was usually deployed in the centre in a box-to-box or defensive midfield role . He was also used in an offensive midfield role on occasion , even if it was not his optimal playing position . A talented yet combative player , he was primarily known for his leadership , tactical versatility , intelligence , strength and stamina , although he was also praised by pundits for his technique , vision and passing range . Simeone once described his style as holding a knife between his teeth . His main inspirations as a player were Brazilian midfielder Falcão and German midfielder Lothar Matthäus . Managerial career . Early years . Simeone ended his playing career for Racing Club , playing his last match on 17 February 2006 , and then became manager for the same team . After a rough start , the team made an impressive finish in the 2006 Clausura . When a new club president was elected , Simeone left Racing in May 2006 and was replaced by Reinaldo Merlo . On 18 May , Simeone became head coach of Estudiantes de La Plata and soon led them to their first league title in 23 years after defeating Boca Juniors 2–1 in a final match played on 13 December 2006 . In an October 2006 poll in the sports daily Olé , Simeone was voted as the best manager in the Argentine league . He was also praised as a born manager by former Argentine international Roberto Perfumo . Simeone left Estudiantes after the end of the 2007 Apertura , where Estudiantes was not a contender after a poor start , but had a strong finish of nine games without defeat . On 15 December 2007 , Simeone was unveiled as the new River Plate coach , succeeding Daniel Passarella . The contract was reported to be for one year , starting on 3 January 2008 . After an early elimination in the Copa Libertadores , losing to San Lorenzo in the second round , Simeone and River Plate went on to win the 2008 Clausura championship after beating Olimpo 2–1 in the Monumental . On 7 November 2008 , Simeone announced his resignation as coach of River Plate after their elimination in the quarter-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana by Mexican side Chivas and a poor run of form of 11 domestic matches without a win , which left them bottom of the Primera División Argentina with only six matches remaining . On 15 April 2009 , Simeone joined San Lorenzo to replace Miguel Ángel Russo following the clubs exit in the first round of the 2009 Copa Libertadores . On 3 April 2010 , Simeone resigned from San Lorenzo due to poor results and mounting criticism . Catania and Racing Club . On 19 January 2011 , Simeone flew to Sicily to join Serie A side Catania , replacing Marco Giampaolo , who left the club just hours earlier . On 1 June 2011 , Simeone left his post after helping Catania stave off relegation . On 21 June 2011 , Simeone was named as the new coach of Racing Club for a second spell in charge , replacing Miguel Ángel Russo , who had resigned the week prior . Atlético Madrid . 2011–13 : Europa League and Copa del Rey triumphs . On 23 December 2011 , Simeone was unveiled as the new Atlético Madrid coach , succeeding Gregorio Manzano , who had been dismissed the day before following defeat to third-tier Albacete in the Copa del Rey . His first game as Atlético manager was a 0–0 away draw against Manuel Pellegrinis Malaga . His first season ended with the team winning the UEFA Europa League by beating Athletic Bilbao 3–0 in the final in Bucharest . On 31 August 2012 , his Atlético side won the UEFA Super Cup after defeating Chelsea 4–1 at the Stade Louis II in Monaco . In the domestic league , the team made an impressive start to the season , finishing the first half in second place , behind only Barcelona and above city rivals Real Madrid . Eventually , Simeone led the team to a third-place finish in the league , which at the time was the best finish in 17 years for Atlético . On 17 May 2013 , he won the Copa del Rey after Atlético defeated rivals Real Madrid 2–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium . 2013–17 : La Liga win and Champions League finals . Atlético began the 2013–14 season with a similar squad to their prior season , despite selling star player Radamel Falcao to Monaco for a reported €60 million fee and acquiring David Villa from Barcelona on a free transfer . While the season began with a defeat to Barça in the 2013 Supercopa de España , the team recorded eight-straight victories in La Liga , the best league start in club history . This included a 1–0 away win at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid , making Simeone the first Atlético manager since Claudio Ranieri in 1999 to record a league victory there . Atlético finished the first half of the season in first place in La Liga , level on points with Barcelona at 47 . In the last round of the season , on 17 May , Atlético needed at least a draw in the Camp Nou against Barcelona to be crowned champions for the first time since 1996 , while a loss would give the title to Barcelona . A Diego Godín header from a corner kick in the 48th minute gave Atlético an equaliser and the draw they needed to win their tenth league title and first since 1996 , when Simeone himself was an Atlético player . Simeone became the second Argentine manager after Helenio Herrera to hand Atlético a Spanish championship , and the second manager after Luis Aragonés to win it both as a player and as a coach of the team . Under Simeone , Atlético collected 90 points in La Liga , surpassing its 1996 record of 87 , making the 2013–14 season the most successful in club history . Also in 2013–14 , Atlético finished top of their Champions League group and qualified for the quarter-finals with a 5–1 aggregate win over Milan in the round of 16 . This was the first time they had reached the Champions League quarter-finals since 1996–97 , when Simeone played for the team . In the quarter-finals , Atlético defeated Barcelona 2–1 on aggregate from Simeones tactic of cutting the swift-passing midfield of Barcelona in two , thus denying them space and isolating Xavi and Andrés Iniesta from forwards Lionel Messi and Neymar . In the semi-finals , Atlético defeated José Mourinhos Chelsea 3–1 at Stamford Bridge following a goalless draw at home to reach the Champions League final for only the second time in club history , the first being in 1974 . Atlético was the only undefeated team in the Champions League prior to the final , recording nine wins and three draws , and had the best defence in the competition , conceding only 6 goals in 12 matches . In the final on 24 May 2014 , Atlético faced city rivals Real Madrid at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon . Despite leading from Diego Godíns header , Atlético conceded a late equaliser in the 93rd minute of the match . The goal hampered Atléticos morale , and the team ended up losing 4–1 after extra time , with Simeone losing the opportunity to be the third Argentine coach to win the Champions League , after Luis Carniglia and Helenio Herrera . After the final goal , Real Madrids Raphaël Varane kicked the ball towards Simeone , causing Simeone to run onto the pitch in anger . He was sent to the stands , and Varane was booked for the incident . Reflecting , Simeone said , I also made a mistake with my reaction . Hes a young guy with a bright future . Simeone also admitted a mistake in selecting striker Diego Costa to start the match , as he had been recently injured and was forced off after eight minutes . In the summer of 2014 , Chelsea acquired Diego Costa , Filipe Luís and Thibaut Courtois from Atlético , and also David Villa moved to the MLS . In response , Atlético acquired striker Mario Mandžukić from Bayern Munich , goalkeeper Jan Oblak from Benfica and forwards Antoine Griezmann from Real Sociedad and Ángel Correa from San Lorenzo , and recovered young midfielder Saúl who was on loan at Rayo Vallecano . The season started with Atlético defeating city rivals Real Madrid for the Spanish Super Cup in August and repeating the previous years victory in the Bernabéu for the league in September . In January , the team acquired Fernando Torres on loan from Milan . However , Atlético finished the league in third place and was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid 1–0 , on aggregate . Before the start of the 2015–16 season , Filipe Luís returned from Chelsea with the team also acquiring Montenegrin defender Stefan Savić and Belgian midfielder Yannick Carrasco . Mario Mandžukić left for Juventus . In 2015–16 , Atlético was the team with the best defensive record in Europes big five leagues , only allowing 18 goals scored against them in 38 La Liga games . Atlético was also the team with the most clean sheets in their games . The team was contending the league title until the last fixture against Barcelona and Real Madrid , settling for third with 88 points . In the UEFA Champions League , Simeone led Atlético to their second Champions League final in three seasons , becoming the first Argentine manager since Héctor Cúper to reach two Champions League finals . Atlético had defeated PSV on penalties during the round of 16 , beat defending champions Barcelona 3–2 on aggregate and favourites Bayern Munich 2–2 , going through on away goals , setting up a repeat of the 2014 final again facing Real Madrid . The match ended 1–1 after extra time leading to a penalty shootout . Juanfran was the only player to miss his kick , enabling Cristiano Ronaldo to score Reals last spot kick , condemning Atlético to a second Champions League final defeat in three seasons . In the summer of 2016 , Atlético purchased forward Kevin Gameiro from Sevilla , midfielder Nicolás Gaitán from Benfica , and defender Šime Vrsaljko from Sassuolo . They also acquired the rights to Fernando Torres ( previously on loan from Milan ) . The team again finished third in the league and lost in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals , again to Real Madrid . 2017–21 : Second Europa League and La Liga victories . On 5 September 2017 , Simeone extended his contract with Atlético for two more years , until June 2020 . In the 2017–18 season , Atlético would finish in second place in La Liga , behind Barcelona but ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League group stage , Atlético did not advance and dropped to the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League . In January 2018 , Diego Costa returned to Atlético from Chelsea . On 16 May 2018 , the team won the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final against Marseille . Simeone was sent to the stands in the first leg of the semi-finals against Arsenal and was suspended . He was forced to watch the second leg and final from the stands . In the 2018–19 season , Atlético bought Thomas Lemar from AS Monaco and Rodri from Villarreal , and in January 2019 acquired Álvaro Morata on loan from Chelsea , while longtime team captain Gabi signed for Qatari club Al-Sadd before the start of the season . The team again finished second in the league behind Barcelona and ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the Champions League , they advanced to the first knockout round , where they were eliminated by Juventus , winning the first leg 2–0 at the Wanda Metropolitano but losing the return leg 3–0 in Turin . Simeone guided his side into the last 16 of UEFA Champions League for the sixth time since he came to reign in 2011 , while before his arrival Atlético had only done so 7 times in 60 years . On 11 March 2020 , Atletico Madrid eliminated the reigning European champions Liverpool with a 3–2 triumph after extra-time at Anfield , winning 4–2 on aggregate , after Saul secured a 1–0 first-leg win in the reverse via a 5th-minute strike . On 27 June 2020 , Simeone won his 195th game in the top-flight of Spanish football as Atleti beat Deportivo Alavés 2–1 on Saturday . With the triumph , the Argentine has overtaken the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 194 ) , as the manager with the most La Liga wins in the club’s history . On 7 July 2020 , Simeone overtook John Toshack as the third coach with the most games managed at a single club in the history of the top-flight of Spanish football during Atletis match against Celta Vigo , his 323rd game in La Liga . Only Miguel Muñoz ( Real Madrid , 424 ) and , the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 407 ) remain ahead of him . For the 2020–21 season , Atlético parted ways with longtime-serving forward Diego Costa and acquired Luis Suárez after his departure from Barcelona . The team brought back Yannick Carrasco from Dalian Professional and also acquired Geoffrey Kondogbia from Valencia , Lucas Torreira on loan from Arsenal and Moussa Dembelé on loan from Lyon , while Thomas Partey left for Arsenal and Álvaro Morata was loaned to Juventus . On 17 October 2020 , Simeone reached his 200th win in the league in a 2–0 away win against Celta Vigo . On 30 December 2020 , he reached his 500th match in charge of Atletico Madrid in a 1–0 win over Getafe . On 10 March 2021 , Simeone overtook Luis Aragonés for the most wins ever as manager of the club in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao , his 309th win overall . After a 4–0 away defeat to Bayern Munich and many injuries to key players in November 2020 , Simeone modified the formation of his squad by introducing a three-man defence for the first time in his tenure coaching Atlético . In this formation , Carrasco played as a wing-back , with left centre-back Mario Hermoso being instructed to also cover the left-back position when Carrasco moved forward , which made the formation tactically-flexible between a three-man and four-man defence . After the formational change , Atlético were solidified defensively and began a streak of victories , including a 1–0 home victory against Barcelona . This streak propelled the team to a 10-point lead over Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2020-21 La Liga title race by February . However , a series of bad results from February to April meant that Atlético were eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea and Real Madrid closed the league gap to two points before the final matchday , meaning Atlético needed a victory in the last La Liga round to win the championship . Thanks to a Suárez goal in the 67th minute , Atlético Madrid managed eventually to win their second La Liga title under Simeone , after a 2–1 away win over Real Valladolid on the final match day . Tactics . Simeones preferred formation is the 4–4–2 , which he first practised when he was manager of Estudiantes de la Plata in 2006 . In this formation , the two wingers move inside and act like attacking midfielders , creating space for the full backs and fluidity in the attack , effectively being a 4–2–2–2 when the team is on the offensive . The two holding midfielders provide the defensive muscle needed to win midfield battles . Utilizing this formation , Simeones Estudiantes won the 2006 Apertura by beating Boca Juniors 2–1 while being down to ten men from the first half . It is essentially this formation that Simeone also utilizes at Atlético Madrid . Simeone has listed his coaching influences being Marcelo Bielsa , Sven-Göran Eriksson , Alfio Basile , Victorio Spinetto , Luigi Simoni , Carlos Bilardo and Radomir Antić . When he was manager at River Plate , a team graced with the attacking talents of Radamel Falcao , Alexis Sánchez , Ariel Ortega , Mauro Rosales , Diego Buonanotte , Augusto Fernández and Sebastián Abreu , Simeone played an aggressive 3–3–1–3 formation reminiscent of those used by influential manager ( and Simeones mentor ) Marcelo Bielsa . Using this formation , River won the 2008 Clausura , but in the next season , with Sánchez having returned to Udinese and several players suffering from injuries , the 3–3–1–3 backfired and River finished bottom of the table , with Simeone being sacked in the process . A common feature of Simeones teams is defensive compactness and quick counter-attacks . Their defending consists of two stages : deep defending in their own defensive third in a narrow 4–4–2 consisting of two closely connected defensive lines of four players , and counter-pressing in their opponents third to win the ball high up the pitch . When the ball is won , the team attack as a unit , deploying their fluid 4–2–2–2 formation , with the forwards often shifting to the flanks to create even more space . In defense , the key idea is to force opponents into wide areas , gain numerical dominance in the balls zone and steal the ball or force the opponent into a backward pass . Counter-pressing consists of reducing an opposing teams space , disrupting their build-up and reducing the number of safe positions for opponents movement on the pitch , thus eliminating goal threats . Claudio Ranieris Premier League-winning 2015–16 Leicester City team has been compared to Simeones Atletico Madrid for upsetting bigger teams by also playing a narrow 4–4–2 and being compact in defense and midfield . In the short time he managed Italian side Catania in 2011 , he switched between a 4–2–3–1 and a 4–3–1–2 in order to bring out the best from playmaker Adrián Ricchiuti while employing many of the counter-attacking features that would later become his trademark at Atlético . Ricchiuti was tasked with linking the midfield and attack and creating chances for whichever of Maxi López , Gonzalo Bergessio and Francesco Lodi were selected up front . Simeone said he did not want to fossilise [ himself ] with a rigid tactic , saying managers cannot have a favourite formation for the simple fact that we have to adapt not to what we like but to what we have to work with . His players stayed compact and narrow when defending , with the widemen – two of Ezequiel Schelotto , Giuseppe Mascara , Raphael Martinho and Alejandro Gómez – expected to drop back and tuck in when out of possession ; meanwhile , playmaker Ricchiuti and the central striker – more often than not López – moved back into midfield rather than pressing the centre-backs , with the aim being preventing simple passes into the middle of the pitch . Simeone is also renowned for his attention to detail and quick adaptability to a games changing situations . During his time as manager of Atlético Madrid , he has placed emphasis on creating chances from set-pieces , while not allowing the opponent to create chances from set-pieces . Several important goals , including the one that gave Atlético the 2014 La Liga title , have been scored from set-pieces . While his teams arent known for controlling possession , they are lauded for controlling the pace and space in which a game is played . He is quick in making tactical changes to influence a games outcome . In the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern in Munich , with his team down 1–0 after 45 minutes , he moved Saúl Ñíguez from the right wing to a holding midfielder position , changing the 4–4–2 to a 4–1–4–1 formation with Carrasco and Griezmann on the flanks . While on paper Saúl was seemingly out of his normal position in this role , in effect this change meant that midfielders Gabi and Koke , who were overwhelmed in the first half by Bayerns pressure , would now be shielded by Saúls presence behind them , and the midfield would regain its much-needed composure . Eventually , the change had the desired outcome , with Atlético equalizing through Antoine Griezmann and advancing to the Champions League final . Simeone has also earned praise for instilling confidence and discipline in his players , which has helped his teams emerge victorious under adverse conditions . For example , in the last game of 2014s La Liga , at the Camp Nou against Barcelona , when Atlético needed a draw to win the championship , both Diego Costa and Arda Turan were taken out of the game due to injury in the first half , and Barcelona opened the scoring . However , Simeone was able to rally his team at half-time and Godins header in the second half gave them the much needed draw . Simeone said : At half-time I told them to be relaxed . In the first half we did well . I knew if we scored , it would cost them . Thats what happened . There was an amazing collective effort from everyone . During a leg in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League semi-final against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium , Atlético were playing without key players Diego Costa , Juanfran , Filipe Luis and Vitolo , and in the 10th minute , Sime Vrsaljko was sent off with a red card , followed by Simeone being also sent off . Despite playing with ten men , without their manager at the bench , with most players in makeshift positions , and enjoying only 24% of ball possession , the team lost neither its shape nor its composure , eventually holding out to a 1–1 draw that was enough for them to progress to the final . Simeone taught us to enjoy suffering , Arda Turan said in 2015 , supporting this feeling that the Argentinean coach is a man who takes the best things out of bad situations . Diego Godin has also said about his manager : The players would die for him [ Simeone ] . He gives belief that we can compete against much bigger teams . We have great confidence in him , we are with him to the death and also he with us - and that shows on the pitch . I believe the whole team has confidence in the coach and we all know the path we have to take : he marks the way for us and we go with him until the death . That is how you achieve things . In the 2020–21 season , amid COVID-19 and injury crisis among the teams forwards , Simeone experimented with back three formations , such as 5–3–2 and 3–5–2 . This saw them adapt to a new , more possession-heavy style , averaging the majority of possession over the season for the first time since their victorious 2013–14 season . Personal life . Simeones sons Giovanni and Gianluca are professional footballers , currently playing for Cagliari Calcio and CD Ibiza respectively . His third son , Giuliano , has been seen as a ball-boy for Atlético Madrid . On 12 September 2020 , Simeone tested positive for COVID-19 . Career statistics . International . Source : Honours .

Which team was coached by Diego Simeone between Feb 2008 and Sep 2008?
|
Diego Simeone Diego Pablo Simeone González ( ; ; born 28 April 1970 ) , nicknamed El Cholo ( ) , is an Argentine professional football manager and former player who played as a midfielder ; he has been the manager of Atlético Madrid since December 2011 . Simeone is considered a legendary figure in the history of Atlético Madrid due to his achievements as a player and manager with them . In his club career that started in 1987 , Simeone played in Argentina , Italy , and Spain for Vélez Sarsfield , Pisa , Sevilla , Atlético Madrid , Inter Milan , Lazio , and Racing Club . He won a domestic double with Atlético Madrid in 1996 , and the UEFA Cup with Inter in 1998 , also winning another domestic double with Lazio in 2000 , as well as the 1999 UEFA Super Cup and the 2000 Supercoppa Italiana . Simeone was capped over 100 times for the Argentina national team and represented the country at the 1994 , 1998 , and 2002 FIFA World Cups , and in four editions of the Copa América , winning the tournament in 1991 and 1993 . He also won the King Fahd Cup in 1992 and a silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympic games . As a manager , Simeone has coached Argentine sides Racing Club , Estudiantes de La Plata , River Plate , and San Lorenzo and Italian club Catania before joining Spanish club Atlético Madrid in 2011 . He won the Argentine Primera División both with Estudiantes and River Plate and has had his biggest managerial success with Atlético Madrid , winning La Liga twice , the Copa del Rey , two UEFA Europa Leagues , two UEFA Super Cups , as well as being runner-up of the UEFA Champions League twice . Club career . When Simeone was 14 , his youth coach Victorio Spinetto nicknamed him Cholo , as his energetic play reminded him of former Boca Juniors player and Argentine international Carmelo Simeone ( no relation ) who possessed the nickname . After starting his career with Vélez Sarsfield , Simeone moved to Italian Serie A club Pisa in 1990 . The club was relegated in his first season and , after it failed to gain promotion the following year , Simeone was sold to Sevilla in the Spanish La Liga . Simeone played two seasons in Seville , after which he was signed by Atlético Madrid . At Atlético , he was part of the team which won the double of the Liga title and Copa del Rey during the 1995–96 season . In 1997 , Simeone returned to Serie A with Inter Milan and played two full seasons , winning the 1997–98 UEFA Cup in a side spearheaded by Ronaldo up front . In 1999 , Simeone joined fellow Argentines Néstor Sensini , Matías Almeyda and Juan Sebastián Verón at Sven-Göran Erikssons Lazio . The side had gone close to the Scudetto in the season before Simeones arrival and he helped deliver the championship after a season , where Juventus led the standings by two points going into the last day . A Juve loss at rainy Perugia coupled with Lazios comfortable home win over Reggina at the Stadio Olimpico ensured Simeones first Serie A title . After winning the double in Spain , he would then add the Italian double as Lazio edged out Inter to claim the 1999–2000 Coppa Italia . He went on to play three more seasons in Rome , which included more last day drama as Simeones goal against former club Inter on the last day of the 2001–02 campaign effectively ruined his old employers title dream . Simeone returned to Atlético Madrid in 2003 , spending his next two seasons there . In total , he played in 165 matches for Atlético , scoring 31 goals . In 2005 , he left Europe to finish his playing career in Argentina with Racing Club . International career . In 1992 , Simeone represented the Argentina under-23 team at the 1992 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament in Paraguay , which saw Argentina fail to qualify for the 1992 Summer Olympics . For the Argentina senior team , Simeone amassed 106 caps , the first coming in 1988 . Simeone won the 1991 and 1993 editions of the Copa América with Argentina . He played in the 1994 , 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups . He was a member of the team that won the silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta , Georgia , as one of the three over-23 players allowed per squad . As a midfielder , Simeone scored 11 goals for his country , including one in the final of the 1992 King Fahd Cup . During the 1998 World Cup , Englands David Beckham was sent off for kicking Simeone in retaliation for a foul ( see also Argentina–England football rivalry ) . Simeone later said he simulated the injury from the kick in order to get Beckham sent off . Sports Illustrated was critical of the Argentinians theatrics in that incident , stating Simeone first delivered a heavy-handed challenge on Beckham and then fell like a ton of bricks when Beckham retaliated . In the following match , against the Netherlands , Simeone was injured by a tackle from Arthur Numan during his teams defeat . In the 2002 World Cup , his last , Argentina was eliminated in the group stage , which included a 1–0 loss to England in which Beckham converted a penalty . Simeone said he was embarrassed at having surpassed Diego Maradona as Argentinas most capped player , though Simeone has since been surpassed by Roberto Ayala , Javier Mascherano , Javier Zanetti and Lionel Messi . Style of play . Simeone was regarded as a tenacious , versatile , hard-working and complete two-way midfielder who was mobile , good in the air and capable both of winning balls and starting attacking plays , also having a penchant for scoring several goals himself . This enabled him to play anywhere in midfield throughout his career , although he was usually deployed in the centre in a box-to-box or defensive midfield role . He was also used in an offensive midfield role on occasion , even if it was not his optimal playing position . A talented yet combative player , he was primarily known for his leadership , tactical versatility , intelligence , strength and stamina , although he was also praised by pundits for his technique , vision and passing range . Simeone once described his style as holding a knife between his teeth . His main inspirations as a player were Brazilian midfielder Falcão and German midfielder Lothar Matthäus . Managerial career . Early years . Simeone ended his playing career for Racing Club , playing his last match on 17 February 2006 , and then became manager for the same team . After a rough start , the team made an impressive finish in the 2006 Clausura . When a new club president was elected , Simeone left Racing in May 2006 and was replaced by Reinaldo Merlo . On 18 May , Simeone became head coach of Estudiantes de La Plata and soon led them to their first league title in 23 years after defeating Boca Juniors 2–1 in a final match played on 13 December 2006 . In an October 2006 poll in the sports daily Olé , Simeone was voted as the best manager in the Argentine league . He was also praised as a born manager by former Argentine international Roberto Perfumo . Simeone left Estudiantes after the end of the 2007 Apertura , where Estudiantes was not a contender after a poor start , but had a strong finish of nine games without defeat . On 15 December 2007 , Simeone was unveiled as the new River Plate coach , succeeding Daniel Passarella . The contract was reported to be for one year , starting on 3 January 2008 . After an early elimination in the Copa Libertadores , losing to San Lorenzo in the second round , Simeone and River Plate went on to win the 2008 Clausura championship after beating Olimpo 2–1 in the Monumental . On 7 November 2008 , Simeone announced his resignation as coach of River Plate after their elimination in the quarter-finals of the 2008 Copa Sudamericana by Mexican side Chivas and a poor run of form of 11 domestic matches without a win , which left them bottom of the Primera División Argentina with only six matches remaining . On 15 April 2009 , Simeone joined San Lorenzo to replace Miguel Ángel Russo following the clubs exit in the first round of the 2009 Copa Libertadores . On 3 April 2010 , Simeone resigned from San Lorenzo due to poor results and mounting criticism . Catania and Racing Club . On 19 January 2011 , Simeone flew to Sicily to join Serie A side Catania , replacing Marco Giampaolo , who left the club just hours earlier . On 1 June 2011 , Simeone left his post after helping Catania stave off relegation . On 21 June 2011 , Simeone was named as the new coach of Racing Club for a second spell in charge , replacing Miguel Ángel Russo , who had resigned the week prior . Atlético Madrid . 2011–13 : Europa League and Copa del Rey triumphs . On 23 December 2011 , Simeone was unveiled as the new Atlético Madrid coach , succeeding Gregorio Manzano , who had been dismissed the day before following defeat to third-tier Albacete in the Copa del Rey . His first game as Atlético manager was a 0–0 away draw against Manuel Pellegrinis Malaga . His first season ended with the team winning the UEFA Europa League by beating Athletic Bilbao 3–0 in the final in Bucharest . On 31 August 2012 , his Atlético side won the UEFA Super Cup after defeating Chelsea 4–1 at the Stade Louis II in Monaco . In the domestic league , the team made an impressive start to the season , finishing the first half in second place , behind only Barcelona and above city rivals Real Madrid . Eventually , Simeone led the team to a third-place finish in the league , which at the time was the best finish in 17 years for Atlético . On 17 May 2013 , he won the Copa del Rey after Atlético defeated rivals Real Madrid 2–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium . 2013–17 : La Liga win and Champions League finals . Atlético began the 2013–14 season with a similar squad to their prior season , despite selling star player Radamel Falcao to Monaco for a reported €60 million fee and acquiring David Villa from Barcelona on a free transfer . While the season began with a defeat to Barça in the 2013 Supercopa de España , the team recorded eight-straight victories in La Liga , the best league start in club history . This included a 1–0 away win at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid , making Simeone the first Atlético manager since Claudio Ranieri in 1999 to record a league victory there . Atlético finished the first half of the season in first place in La Liga , level on points with Barcelona at 47 . In the last round of the season , on 17 May , Atlético needed at least a draw in the Camp Nou against Barcelona to be crowned champions for the first time since 1996 , while a loss would give the title to Barcelona . A Diego Godín header from a corner kick in the 48th minute gave Atlético an equaliser and the draw they needed to win their tenth league title and first since 1996 , when Simeone himself was an Atlético player . Simeone became the second Argentine manager after Helenio Herrera to hand Atlético a Spanish championship , and the second manager after Luis Aragonés to win it both as a player and as a coach of the team . Under Simeone , Atlético collected 90 points in La Liga , surpassing its 1996 record of 87 , making the 2013–14 season the most successful in club history . Also in 2013–14 , Atlético finished top of their Champions League group and qualified for the quarter-finals with a 5–1 aggregate win over Milan in the round of 16 . This was the first time they had reached the Champions League quarter-finals since 1996–97 , when Simeone played for the team . In the quarter-finals , Atlético defeated Barcelona 2–1 on aggregate from Simeones tactic of cutting the swift-passing midfield of Barcelona in two , thus denying them space and isolating Xavi and Andrés Iniesta from forwards Lionel Messi and Neymar . In the semi-finals , Atlético defeated José Mourinhos Chelsea 3–1 at Stamford Bridge following a goalless draw at home to reach the Champions League final for only the second time in club history , the first being in 1974 . Atlético was the only undefeated team in the Champions League prior to the final , recording nine wins and three draws , and had the best defence in the competition , conceding only 6 goals in 12 matches . In the final on 24 May 2014 , Atlético faced city rivals Real Madrid at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon . Despite leading from Diego Godíns header , Atlético conceded a late equaliser in the 93rd minute of the match . The goal hampered Atléticos morale , and the team ended up losing 4–1 after extra time , with Simeone losing the opportunity to be the third Argentine coach to win the Champions League , after Luis Carniglia and Helenio Herrera . After the final goal , Real Madrids Raphaël Varane kicked the ball towards Simeone , causing Simeone to run onto the pitch in anger . He was sent to the stands , and Varane was booked for the incident . Reflecting , Simeone said , I also made a mistake with my reaction . Hes a young guy with a bright future . Simeone also admitted a mistake in selecting striker Diego Costa to start the match , as he had been recently injured and was forced off after eight minutes . In the summer of 2014 , Chelsea acquired Diego Costa , Filipe Luís and Thibaut Courtois from Atlético , and also David Villa moved to the MLS . In response , Atlético acquired striker Mario Mandžukić from Bayern Munich , goalkeeper Jan Oblak from Benfica and forwards Antoine Griezmann from Real Sociedad and Ángel Correa from San Lorenzo , and recovered young midfielder Saúl who was on loan at Rayo Vallecano . The season started with Atlético defeating city rivals Real Madrid for the Spanish Super Cup in August and repeating the previous years victory in the Bernabéu for the league in September . In January , the team acquired Fernando Torres on loan from Milan . However , Atlético finished the league in third place and was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid 1–0 , on aggregate . Before the start of the 2015–16 season , Filipe Luís returned from Chelsea with the team also acquiring Montenegrin defender Stefan Savić and Belgian midfielder Yannick Carrasco . Mario Mandžukić left for Juventus . In 2015–16 , Atlético was the team with the best defensive record in Europes big five leagues , only allowing 18 goals scored against them in 38 La Liga games . Atlético was also the team with the most clean sheets in their games . The team was contending the league title until the last fixture against Barcelona and Real Madrid , settling for third with 88 points . In the UEFA Champions League , Simeone led Atlético to their second Champions League final in three seasons , becoming the first Argentine manager since Héctor Cúper to reach two Champions League finals . Atlético had defeated PSV on penalties during the round of 16 , beat defending champions Barcelona 3–2 on aggregate and favourites Bayern Munich 2–2 , going through on away goals , setting up a repeat of the 2014 final again facing Real Madrid . The match ended 1–1 after extra time leading to a penalty shootout . Juanfran was the only player to miss his kick , enabling Cristiano Ronaldo to score Reals last spot kick , condemning Atlético to a second Champions League final defeat in three seasons . In the summer of 2016 , Atlético purchased forward Kevin Gameiro from Sevilla , midfielder Nicolás Gaitán from Benfica , and defender Šime Vrsaljko from Sassuolo . They also acquired the rights to Fernando Torres ( previously on loan from Milan ) . The team again finished third in the league and lost in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals , again to Real Madrid . 2017–21 : Second Europa League and La Liga victories . On 5 September 2017 , Simeone extended his contract with Atlético for two more years , until June 2020 . In the 2017–18 season , Atlético would finish in second place in La Liga , behind Barcelona but ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League group stage , Atlético did not advance and dropped to the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League . In January 2018 , Diego Costa returned to Atlético from Chelsea . On 16 May 2018 , the team won the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final against Marseille . Simeone was sent to the stands in the first leg of the semi-finals against Arsenal and was suspended . He was forced to watch the second leg and final from the stands . In the 2018–19 season , Atlético bought Thomas Lemar from AS Monaco and Rodri from Villarreal , and in January 2019 acquired Álvaro Morata on loan from Chelsea , while longtime team captain Gabi signed for Qatari club Al-Sadd before the start of the season . The team again finished second in the league behind Barcelona and ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the Champions League , they advanced to the first knockout round , where they were eliminated by Juventus , winning the first leg 2–0 at the Wanda Metropolitano but losing the return leg 3–0 in Turin . Simeone guided his side into the last 16 of UEFA Champions League for the sixth time since he came to reign in 2011 , while before his arrival Atlético had only done so 7 times in 60 years . On 11 March 2020 , Atletico Madrid eliminated the reigning European champions Liverpool with a 3–2 triumph after extra-time at Anfield , winning 4–2 on aggregate , after Saul secured a 1–0 first-leg win in the reverse via a 5th-minute strike . On 27 June 2020 , Simeone won his 195th game in the top-flight of Spanish football as Atleti beat Deportivo Alavés 2–1 on Saturday . With the triumph , the Argentine has overtaken the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 194 ) , as the manager with the most La Liga wins in the club’s history . On 7 July 2020 , Simeone overtook John Toshack as the third coach with the most games managed at a single club in the history of the top-flight of Spanish football during Atletis match against Celta Vigo , his 323rd game in La Liga . Only Miguel Muñoz ( Real Madrid , 424 ) and , the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 407 ) remain ahead of him . For the 2020–21 season , Atlético parted ways with longtime-serving forward Diego Costa and acquired Luis Suárez after his departure from Barcelona . The team brought back Yannick Carrasco from Dalian Professional and also acquired Geoffrey Kondogbia from Valencia , Lucas Torreira on loan from Arsenal and Moussa Dembelé on loan from Lyon , while Thomas Partey left for Arsenal and Álvaro Morata was loaned to Juventus . On 17 October 2020 , Simeone reached his 200th win in the league in a 2–0 away win against Celta Vigo . On 30 December 2020 , he reached his 500th match in charge of Atletico Madrid in a 1–0 win over Getafe . On 10 March 2021 , Simeone overtook Luis Aragonés for the most wins ever as manager of the club in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao , his 309th win overall . After a 4–0 away defeat to Bayern Munich and many injuries to key players in November 2020 , Simeone modified the formation of his squad by introducing a three-man defence for the first time in his tenure coaching Atlético . In this formation , Carrasco played as a wing-back , with left centre-back Mario Hermoso being instructed to also cover the left-back position when Carrasco moved forward , which made the formation tactically-flexible between a three-man and four-man defence . After the formational change , Atlético were solidified defensively and began a streak of victories , including a 1–0 home victory against Barcelona . This streak propelled the team to a 10-point lead over Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2020-21 La Liga title race by February . However , a series of bad results from February to April meant that Atlético were eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea and Real Madrid closed the league gap to two points before the final matchday , meaning Atlético needed a victory in the last La Liga round to win the championship . Thanks to a Suárez goal in the 67th minute , Atlético Madrid managed eventually to win their second La Liga title under Simeone , after a 2–1 away win over Real Valladolid on the final match day . Tactics . Simeones preferred formation is the 4–4–2 , which he first practised when he was manager of Estudiantes de la Plata in 2006 . In this formation , the two wingers move inside and act like attacking midfielders , creating space for the full backs and fluidity in the attack , effectively being a 4–2–2–2 when the team is on the offensive . The two holding midfielders provide the defensive muscle needed to win midfield battles . Utilizing this formation , Simeones Estudiantes won the 2006 Apertura by beating Boca Juniors 2–1 while being down to ten men from the first half . It is essentially this formation that Simeone also utilizes at Atlético Madrid . Simeone has listed his coaching influences being Marcelo Bielsa , Sven-Göran Eriksson , Alfio Basile , Victorio Spinetto , Luigi Simoni , Carlos Bilardo and Radomir Antić . When he was manager at River Plate , a team graced with the attacking talents of Radamel Falcao , Alexis Sánchez , Ariel Ortega , Mauro Rosales , Diego Buonanotte , Augusto Fernández and Sebastián Abreu , Simeone played an aggressive 3–3–1–3 formation reminiscent of those used by influential manager ( and Simeones mentor ) Marcelo Bielsa . Using this formation , River won the 2008 Clausura , but in the next season , with Sánchez having returned to Udinese and several players suffering from injuries , the 3–3–1–3 backfired and River finished bottom of the table , with Simeone being sacked in the process . A common feature of Simeones teams is defensive compactness and quick counter-attacks . Their defending consists of two stages : deep defending in their own defensive third in a narrow 4–4–2 consisting of two closely connected defensive lines of four players , and counter-pressing in their opponents third to win the ball high up the pitch . When the ball is won , the team attack as a unit , deploying their fluid 4–2–2–2 formation , with the forwards often shifting to the flanks to create even more space . In defense , the key idea is to force opponents into wide areas , gain numerical dominance in the balls zone and steal the ball or force the opponent into a backward pass . Counter-pressing consists of reducing an opposing teams space , disrupting their build-up and reducing the number of safe positions for opponents movement on the pitch , thus eliminating goal threats . Claudio Ranieris Premier League-winning 2015–16 Leicester City team has been compared to Simeones Atletico Madrid for upsetting bigger teams by also playing a narrow 4–4–2 and being compact in defense and midfield . In the short time he managed Italian side Catania in 2011 , he switched between a 4–2–3–1 and a 4–3–1–2 in order to bring out the best from playmaker Adrián Ricchiuti while employing many of the counter-attacking features that would later become his trademark at Atlético . Ricchiuti was tasked with linking the midfield and attack and creating chances for whichever of Maxi López , Gonzalo Bergessio and Francesco Lodi were selected up front . Simeone said he did not want to fossilise [ himself ] with a rigid tactic , saying managers cannot have a favourite formation for the simple fact that we have to adapt not to what we like but to what we have to work with . His players stayed compact and narrow when defending , with the widemen – two of Ezequiel Schelotto , Giuseppe Mascara , Raphael Martinho and Alejandro Gómez – expected to drop back and tuck in when out of possession ; meanwhile , playmaker Ricchiuti and the central striker – more often than not López – moved back into midfield rather than pressing the centre-backs , with the aim being preventing simple passes into the middle of the pitch . Simeone is also renowned for his attention to detail and quick adaptability to a games changing situations . During his time as manager of Atlético Madrid , he has placed emphasis on creating chances from set-pieces , while not allowing the opponent to create chances from set-pieces . Several important goals , including the one that gave Atlético the 2014 La Liga title , have been scored from set-pieces . While his teams arent known for controlling possession , they are lauded for controlling the pace and space in which a game is played . He is quick in making tactical changes to influence a games outcome . In the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern in Munich , with his team down 1–0 after 45 minutes , he moved Saúl Ñíguez from the right wing to a holding midfielder position , changing the 4–4–2 to a 4–1–4–1 formation with Carrasco and Griezmann on the flanks . While on paper Saúl was seemingly out of his normal position in this role , in effect this change meant that midfielders Gabi and Koke , who were overwhelmed in the first half by Bayerns pressure , would now be shielded by Saúls presence behind them , and the midfield would regain its much-needed composure . Eventually , the change had the desired outcome , with Atlético equalizing through Antoine Griezmann and advancing to the Champions League final . Simeone has also earned praise for instilling confidence and discipline in his players , which has helped his teams emerge victorious under adverse conditions . For example , in the last game of 2014s La Liga , at the Camp Nou against Barcelona , when Atlético needed a draw to win the championship , both Diego Costa and Arda Turan were taken out of the game due to injury in the first half , and Barcelona opened the scoring . However , Simeone was able to rally his team at half-time and Godins header in the second half gave them the much needed draw . Simeone said : At half-time I told them to be relaxed . In the first half we did well . I knew if we scored , it would cost them . Thats what happened . There was an amazing collective effort from everyone . During a leg in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League semi-final against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium , Atlético were playing without key players Diego Costa , Juanfran , Filipe Luis and Vitolo , and in the 10th minute , Sime Vrsaljko was sent off with a red card , followed by Simeone being also sent off . Despite playing with ten men , without their manager at the bench , with most players in makeshift positions , and enjoying only 24% of ball possession , the team lost neither its shape nor its composure , eventually holding out to a 1–1 draw that was enough for them to progress to the final . Simeone taught us to enjoy suffering , Arda Turan said in 2015 , supporting this feeling that the Argentinean coach is a man who takes the best things out of bad situations . Diego Godin has also said about his manager : The players would die for him [ Simeone ] . He gives belief that we can compete against much bigger teams . We have great confidence in him , we are with him to the death and also he with us - and that shows on the pitch . I believe the whole team has confidence in the coach and we all know the path we have to take : he marks the way for us and we go with him until the death . That is how you achieve things . In the 2020–21 season , amid COVID-19 and injury crisis among the teams forwards , Simeone experimented with back three formations , such as 5–3–2 and 3–5–2 . This saw them adapt to a new , more possession-heavy style , averaging the majority of possession over the season for the first time since their victorious 2013–14 season . Personal life . Simeones sons Giovanni and Gianluca are professional footballers , currently playing for Cagliari Calcio and CD Ibiza respectively . His third son , Giuliano , has been seen as a ball-boy for Atlético Madrid . On 12 September 2020 , Simeone tested positive for COVID-19 . Career statistics . International . Source : Honours .

He also won the King Fahd Cup in 1992 and a silver medal at the 1996 Summer Olympic games . As a manager , Simeone has coached Argentine sides Racing Club , Estudiantes de La Plata , River Plate , and San Lorenzo and Italian club Catania before joining Spanish club Atlético Madrid in 2011 . He won the Argentine Primera División both with Estudiantes and River Plate and has had his biggest managerial success with Atlético Madrid , winning La Liga twice , the Copa del Rey , two UEFA Europa Leagues , two UEFA Super Cups , as well as being runner-up of the UEFA Champions League twice . Club career . When Simeone was 14 , his youth coach Victorio Spinetto nicknamed him Cholo , as his energetic play reminded him of former Boca Juniors player and Argentine international Carmelo Simeone ( no relation ) who possessed the nickname . After starting his career with Vélez Sarsfield , Simeone moved to Italian Serie A club Pisa in 1990 . The club was relegated in his first season and , after it failed to gain promotion the following year , Simeone was sold to Sevilla in the Spanish La Liga . Simeone played two seasons in Seville , after which he was signed by Atlético Madrid . At Atlético , he was part of the team which won the double of the Liga title and Copa del Rey during the 1995–96 season . In 1997 , Simeone returned to Serie A with Inter Milan and played two full seasons , winning the 1997–98 UEFA Cup in a side spearheaded by Ronaldo up front . In 1999 , Simeone joined fellow Argentines Néstor Sensini , Matías Almeyda and Juan Sebastián Verón at Sven-Göran Erikssons Lazio . The side had gone close to the Scudetto in the season before Simeones arrival and he helped deliver the championship after a season , where Juventus led the standings by two points going into the last day . A Juve loss at rainy Perugia coupled with Lazios comfortable home win over Reggina at the Stadio Olimpico ensured Simeones first Serie A title . After winning the double in Spain , he would then add the Italian double as Lazio edged out Inter to claim the 1999–2000 Coppa Italia . He went on to play three more seasons in Rome , which included more last day drama as Simeones goal against former club Inter on the last day of the 2001–02 campaign effectively ruined his old employers title dream . Simeone returned to Atlético Madrid in 2003 , spending his next two seasons there . In total , he played in 165 matches for Atlético , scoring 31 goals .

As a midfielder , Simeone scored 11 goals for his country , including one in the final of the 1992 King Fahd Cup . During the 1998 World Cup , Englands David Beckham was sent off for kicking Simeone in retaliation for a foul ( see also Argentina–England football rivalry ) . Simeone later said he simulated the injury from the kick in order to get Beckham sent off . Sports Illustrated was critical of the Argentinians theatrics in that incident , stating Simeone first delivered a heavy-handed challenge on Beckham and then fell like a ton of bricks when Beckham retaliated . In the following match , against the Netherlands , Simeone was injured by a tackle from Arthur Numan during his teams defeat . In the 2002 World Cup , his last , Argentina was eliminated in the group stage , which included a 1–0 loss to England in which Beckham converted a penalty . Simeone said he was embarrassed at having surpassed Diego Maradona as Argentinas most capped player , though Simeone has since been surpassed by Roberto Ayala , Javier Mascherano , Javier Zanetti and Lionel Messi . Style of play . Simeone was regarded as a tenacious , versatile , hard-working and complete two-way midfielder who was mobile , good in the air and capable both of winning balls and starting attacking plays , also having a penchant for scoring several goals himself . This enabled him to play anywhere in midfield throughout his career , although he was usually deployed in the centre in a box-to-box or defensive midfield role . He was also used in an offensive midfield role on occasion , even if it was not his optimal playing position . A talented yet combative player , he was primarily known for his leadership , tactical versatility , intelligence , strength and stamina , although he was also praised by pundits for his technique , vision and passing range .

His first season ended with the team winning the UEFA Europa League by beating Athletic Bilbao 3–0 in the final in Bucharest . On 31 August 2012 , his Atlético side won the UEFA Super Cup after defeating Chelsea 4–1 at the Stade Louis II in Monaco . In the domestic league , the team made an impressive start to the season , finishing the first half in second place , behind only Barcelona and above city rivals Real Madrid . Eventually , Simeone led the team to a third-place finish in the league , which at the time was the best finish in 17 years for Atlético . On 17 May 2013 , he won the Copa del Rey after Atlético defeated rivals Real Madrid 2–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium . 2013–17 : La Liga win and Champions League finals . Atlético began the 2013–14 season with a similar squad to their prior season , despite selling star player Radamel Falcao to Monaco for a reported €60 million fee and acquiring David Villa from Barcelona on a free transfer . While the season began with a defeat to Barça in the 2013 Supercopa de España , the team recorded eight-straight victories in La Liga , the best league start in club history . This included a 1–0 away win at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid , making Simeone the first Atlético manager since Claudio Ranieri in 1999 to record a league victory there . Atlético finished the first half of the season in first place in La Liga , level on points with Barcelona at 47 . In the last round of the season , on 17 May , Atlético needed at least a draw in the Camp Nou against Barcelona to be crowned champions for the first time since 1996 , while a loss would give the title to Barcelona . A Diego Godín header from a corner kick in the 48th minute gave Atlético an equaliser and the draw they needed to win their tenth league title and first since 1996 , when Simeone himself was an Atlético player . Simeone became the second Argentine manager after Helenio Herrera to hand Atlético a Spanish championship , and the second manager after Luis Aragonés to win it both as a player and as a coach of the team . Under Simeone , Atlético collected 90 points in La Liga , surpassing its 1996 record of 87 , making the 2013–14 season the most successful in club history . Also in 2013–14 , Atlético finished top of their Champions League group and qualified for the quarter-finals with a 5–1 aggregate win over Milan in the round of 16 . This was the first time they had reached the Champions League quarter-finals since 1996–97 , when Simeone played for the team . In the quarter-finals , Atlético defeated Barcelona 2–1 on aggregate from Simeones tactic of cutting the swift-passing midfield of Barcelona in two , thus denying them space and isolating Xavi and Andrés Iniesta from forwards Lionel Messi and Neymar . In the semi-finals , Atlético defeated José Mourinhos Chelsea 3–1 at Stamford Bridge following a goalless draw at home to reach the Champions League final for only the second time in club history , the first being in 1974 . Atlético was the only undefeated team in the Champions League prior to the final , recording nine wins and three draws , and had the best defence in the competition , conceding only 6 goals in 12 matches . In the final on 24 May 2014 , Atlético faced city rivals Real Madrid at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon . Despite leading from Diego Godíns header , Atlético conceded a late equaliser in the 93rd minute of the match . The goal hampered Atléticos morale , and the team ended up losing 4–1 after extra time , with Simeone losing the opportunity to be the third Argentine coach to win the Champions League , after Luis Carniglia and Helenio Herrera . After the final goal , Real Madrids Raphaël Varane kicked the ball towards Simeone , causing Simeone to run onto the pitch in anger . He was sent to the stands , and Varane was booked for the incident . Reflecting , Simeone said , I also made a mistake with my reaction . Hes a young guy with a bright future . Simeone also admitted a mistake in selecting striker Diego Costa to start the match , as he had been recently injured and was forced off after eight minutes . In the summer of 2014 , Chelsea acquired Diego Costa , Filipe Luís and Thibaut Courtois from Atlético , and also David Villa moved to the MLS . In response , Atlético acquired striker Mario Mandžukić from Bayern Munich , goalkeeper Jan Oblak from Benfica and forwards Antoine Griezmann from Real Sociedad and Ángel Correa from San Lorenzo , and recovered young midfielder Saúl who was on loan at Rayo Vallecano . The season started with Atlético defeating city rivals Real Madrid for the Spanish Super Cup in August and repeating the previous years victory in the Bernabéu for the league in September . In January , the team acquired Fernando Torres on loan from Milan . However , Atlético finished the league in third place and was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid 1–0 , on aggregate . Before the start of the 2015–16 season , Filipe Luís returned from Chelsea with the team also acquiring Montenegrin defender Stefan Savić and Belgian midfielder Yannick Carrasco . Mario Mandžukić left for Juventus . In 2015–16 , Atlético was the team with the best defensive record in Europes big five leagues , only allowing 18 goals scored against them in 38 La Liga games . Atlético was also the team with the most clean sheets in their games . The team was contending the league title until the last fixture against Barcelona and Real Madrid , settling for third with 88 points . In the UEFA Champions League , Simeone led Atlético to their second Champions League final in three seasons , becoming the first Argentine manager since Héctor Cúper to reach two Champions League finals . Atlético had defeated PSV on penalties during the round of 16 , beat defending champions Barcelona 3–2 on aggregate and favourites Bayern Munich 2–2 , going through on away goals , setting up a repeat of the 2014 final again facing Real Madrid . The match ended 1–1 after extra time leading to a penalty shootout . Juanfran was the only player to miss his kick , enabling Cristiano Ronaldo to score Reals last spot kick , condemning Atlético to a second Champions League final defeat in three seasons . In the summer of 2016 , Atlético purchased forward Kevin Gameiro from Sevilla , midfielder Nicolás Gaitán from Benfica , and defender Šime Vrsaljko from Sassuolo . They also acquired the rights to Fernando Torres ( previously on loan from Milan ) . The team again finished third in the league and lost in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals , again to Real Madrid . 2017–21 : Second Europa League and La Liga victories . On 5 September 2017 , Simeone extended his contract with Atlético for two more years , until June 2020 . In the 2017–18 season , Atlético would finish in second place in La Liga , behind Barcelona but ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League group stage , Atlético did not advance and dropped to the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League . In January 2018 , Diego Costa returned to Atlético from Chelsea . On 16 May 2018 , the team won the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final against Marseille . Simeone was sent to the stands in the first leg of the semi-finals against Arsenal and was suspended . He was forced to watch the second leg and final from the stands . In the 2018–19 season , Atlético bought Thomas Lemar from AS Monaco and Rodri from Villarreal , and in January 2019 acquired Álvaro Morata on loan from Chelsea , while longtime team captain Gabi signed for Qatari club Al-Sadd before the start of the season . The team again finished second in the league behind Barcelona and ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the Champions League , they advanced to the first knockout round , where they were eliminated by Juventus , winning the first leg 2–0 at the Wanda Metropolitano but losing the return leg 3–0 in Turin . Simeone guided his side into the last 16 of UEFA Champions League for the sixth time since he came to reign in 2011 , while before his arrival Atlético had only done so 7 times in 60 years . On 11 March 2020 , Atletico Madrid eliminated the reigning European champions Liverpool with a 3–2 triumph after extra-time at Anfield , winning 4–2 on aggregate , after Saul secured a 1–0 first-leg win in the reverse via a 5th-minute strike . On 27 June 2020 , Simeone won his 195th game in the top-flight of Spanish football as Atleti beat Deportivo Alavés 2–1 on Saturday . With the triumph , the Argentine has overtaken the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 194 ) , as the manager with the most La Liga wins in the club’s history . On 7 July 2020 , Simeone overtook John Toshack as the third coach with the most games managed at a single club in the history of the top-flight of Spanish football during Atletis match against Celta Vigo , his 323rd game in La Liga . Only Miguel Muñoz ( Real Madrid , 424 ) and , the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 407 ) remain ahead of him . For the 2020–21 season , Atlético parted ways with longtime-serving forward Diego Costa and acquired Luis Suárez after his departure from Barcelona . The team brought back Yannick Carrasco from Dalian Professional and also acquired Geoffrey Kondogbia from Valencia , Lucas Torreira on loan from Arsenal and Moussa Dembelé on loan from Lyon , while Thomas Partey left for Arsenal and Álvaro Morata was loaned to Juventus . On 17 October 2020 , Simeone reached his 200th win in the league in a 2–0 away win against Celta Vigo . On 30 December 2020 , he reached his 500th match in charge of Atletico Madrid in a 1–0 win over Getafe . On 10 March 2021 , Simeone overtook Luis Aragonés for the most wins ever as manager of the club in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao , his 309th win overall . After a 4–0 away defeat to Bayern Munich and many injuries to key players in November 2020 , Simeone modified the formation of his squad by introducing a three-man defence for the first time in his tenure coaching Atlético . In this formation , Carrasco played as a wing-back , with left centre-back Mario Hermoso being instructed to also cover the left-back position when Carrasco moved forward , which made the formation tactically-flexible between a three-man and four-man defence . After the formational change , Atlético were solidified defensively and began a streak of victories , including a 1–0 home victory against Barcelona . This streak propelled the team to a 10-point lead over Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2020-21 La Liga title race by February . However , a series of bad results from February to April meant that Atlético were eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea and Real Madrid closed the league gap to two points before the final matchday , meaning Atlético needed a victory in the last La Liga round to win the championship . Thanks to a Suárez goal in the 67th minute , Atlético Madrid managed eventually to win their second La Liga title under Simeone , after a 2–1 away win over Real Valladolid on the final match day . Tactics . Simeones preferred formation is the 4–4–2 , which he first practised when he was manager of Estudiantes de la Plata in 2006 . In this formation , the two wingers move inside and act like attacking midfielders , creating space for the full backs and fluidity in the attack , effectively being a 4–2–2–2 when the team is on the offensive . The two holding midfielders provide the defensive muscle needed to win midfield battles . Utilizing this formation , Simeones Estudiantes won the 2006 Apertura by beating Boca Juniors 2–1 while being down to ten men from the first half . It is essentially this formation that Simeone also utilizes at Atlético Madrid . Simeone has listed his coaching influences being Marcelo Bielsa , Sven-Göran Eriksson , Alfio Basile , Victorio Spinetto , Luigi Simoni , Carlos Bilardo and Radomir Antić . When he was manager at River Plate , a team graced with the attacking talents of Radamel Falcao , Alexis Sánchez , Ariel Ortega , Mauro Rosales , Diego Buonanotte , Augusto Fernández and Sebastián Abreu , Simeone played an aggressive 3–3–1–3 formation reminiscent of those used by influential manager ( and Simeones mentor ) Marcelo Bielsa . Using this formation , River won the 2008 Clausura , but in the next season , with Sánchez having returned to Udinese and several players suffering from injuries , the 3–3–1–3 backfired and River finished bottom of the table , with Simeone being sacked in the process . A common feature of Simeones teams is defensive compactness and quick counter-attacks . Their defending consists of two stages : deep defending in their own defensive third in a narrow 4–4–2 consisting of two closely connected defensive lines of four players , and counter-pressing in their opponents third to win the ball high up the pitch . When the ball is won , the team attack as a unit , deploying their fluid 4–2–2–2 formation , with the forwards often shifting to the flanks to create even more space . In defense , the key idea is to force opponents into wide areas , gain numerical dominance in the balls zone and steal the ball or force the opponent into a backward pass . Counter-pressing consists of reducing an opposing teams space , disrupting their build-up and reducing the number of safe positions for opponents movement on the pitch , thus eliminating goal threats . Claudio Ranieris Premier League-winning 2015–16 Leicester City team has been compared to Simeones Atletico Madrid for upsetting bigger teams by also playing a narrow 4–4–2 and being compact in defense and midfield . In the short time he managed Italian side Catania in 2011 , he switched between a 4–2–3–1 and a 4–3–1–2 in order to bring out the best from playmaker Adrián Ricchiuti while employing many of the counter-attacking features that would later become his trademark at Atlético . Ricchiuti was tasked with linking the midfield and attack and creating chances for whichever of Maxi López , Gonzalo Bergessio and Francesco Lodi were selected up front . Simeone said he did not want to fossilise [ himself ] with a rigid tactic , saying managers cannot have a favourite formation for the simple fact that we have to adapt not to what we like but to what we have to work with . His players stayed compact and narrow when defending , with the widemen – two of Ezequiel Schelotto , Giuseppe Mascara , Raphael Martinho and Alejandro Gómez – expected to drop back and tuck in when out of possession ; meanwhile , playmaker Ricchiuti and the central striker – more often than not López – moved back into midfield rather than pressing the centre-backs , with the aim being preventing simple passes into the middle of the pitch . Simeone is also renowned for his attention to detail and quick adaptability to a games changing situations . During his time as manager of Atlético Madrid , he has placed emphasis on creating chances from set-pieces , while not allowing the opponent to create chances from set-pieces . Several important goals , including the one that gave Atlético the 2014 La Liga title , have been scored from set-pieces . While his teams arent known for controlling possession , they are lauded for controlling the pace and space in which a game is played . He is quick in making tactical changes to influence a games outcome . In the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern in Munich , with his team down 1–0 after 45 minutes , he moved Saúl Ñíguez from the right wing to a holding midfielder position , changing the 4–4–2 to a 4–1–4–1 formation with Carrasco and Griezmann on the flanks . While on paper Saúl was seemingly out of his normal position in this role , in effect this change meant that midfielders Gabi and Koke , who were overwhelmed in the first half by Bayerns pressure , would now be shielded by Saúls presence behind them , and the midfield would regain its much-needed composure . Eventually , the change had the desired outcome , with Atlético equalizing through Antoine Griezmann and advancing to the Champions League final . Simeone has also earned praise for instilling confidence and discipline in his players , which has helped his teams emerge victorious under adverse conditions . For example , in the last game of 2014s La Liga , at the Camp Nou against Barcelona , when Atlético needed a draw to win the championship , both Diego Costa and Arda Turan were taken out of the game due to injury in the first half , and Barcelona opened the scoring . However , Simeone was able to rally his team at half-time and Godins header in the second half gave them the much needed draw . Simeone said : At half-time I told them to be relaxed . In the first half we did well . I knew if we scored , it would cost them . Thats what happened . There was an amazing collective effort from everyone . During a leg in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League semi-final against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium , Atlético were playing without key players Diego Costa , Juanfran , Filipe Luis and Vitolo , and in the 10th minute , Sime Vrsaljko was sent off with a red card , followed by Simeone being also sent off . Despite playing with ten men , without their manager at the bench , with most players in makeshift positions , and enjoying only 24% of ball possession , the team lost neither its shape nor its composure , eventually holding out to a 1–1 draw that was enough for them to progress to the final . Simeone taught us to enjoy suffering , Arda Turan said in 2015 , supporting this feeling that the Argentinean coach is a man who takes the best things out of bad situations . Diego Godin has also said about his manager : The players would die for him [ Simeone ] . He gives belief that we can compete against much bigger teams . We have great confidence in him , we are with him to the death and also he with us - and that shows on the pitch . I believe the whole team has confidence in the coach and we all know the path we have to take : he marks the way for us and we go with him until the death . That is how you achieve things . In the 2020–21 season , amid COVID-19 and injury crisis among the teams forwards , Simeone experimented with back three formations , such as 5–3–2 and 3–5–2 . This saw them adapt to a new , more possession-heavy style , averaging the majority of possession over the season for the first time since their victorious 2013–14 season . Personal life . Simeones sons Giovanni and Gianluca are professional footballers , currently playing for Cagliari Calcio and CD Ibiza respectively . His third son , Giuliano , has been seen as a ball-boy for Atlético Madrid . On 12 September 2020 , Simeone tested positive for COVID-19 . Career statistics . International . Source : Honours .

Club career . When Simeone was 14 , his youth coach Victorio Spinetto nicknamed him Cholo , as his energetic play reminded him of former Boca Juniors player and Argentine international Carmelo Simeone ( no relation ) who possessed the nickname . After starting his career with Vélez Sarsfield , Simeone moved to Italian Serie A club Pisa in 1990 . The club was relegated in his first season and , after it failed to gain promotion the following year , Simeone was sold to Sevilla in the Spanish La Liga .

A Juve loss at rainy Perugia coupled with Lazios comfortable home win over Reggina at the Stadio Olimpico ensured Simeones first Serie A title . After winning the double in Spain , he would then add the Italian double as Lazio edged out Inter to claim the 1999–2000 Coppa Italia . He went on to play three more seasons in Rome , which included more last day drama as Simeones goal against former club Inter on the last day of the 2001–02 campaign effectively ruined his old employers title dream .

As a midfielder , Simeone scored 11 goals for his country , including one in the final of the 1992 King Fahd Cup . During the 1998 World Cup , Englands David Beckham was sent off for kicking Simeone in retaliation for a foul ( see also Argentina–England football rivalry ) . Simeone later said he simulated the injury from the kick in order to get Beckham sent off . Sports Illustrated was critical of the Argentinians theatrics in that incident , stating Simeone first delivered a heavy-handed challenge on Beckham and then fell like a ton of bricks when Beckham retaliated . In the following match , against the Netherlands , Simeone was injured by a tackle from Arthur Numan during his teams defeat . In the 2002 World Cup , his last , Argentina was eliminated in the group stage , which included a 1–0 loss to England in which Beckham converted a penalty . Simeone said he was embarrassed at having surpassed Diego Maradona as Argentinas most capped player , though Simeone has since been surpassed by Roberto Ayala , Javier Mascherano , Javier Zanetti and Lionel Messi . Style of play . Simeone was regarded as a tenacious , versatile , hard-working and complete two-way midfielder who was mobile , good in the air and capable both of winning balls and starting attacking plays , also having a penchant for scoring several goals himself .

In the quarter-finals , Atlético defeated Barcelona 2–1 on aggregate from Simeones tactic of cutting the swift-passing midfield of Barcelona in two , thus denying them space and isolating Xavi and Andrés Iniesta from forwards Lionel Messi and Neymar . In the semi-finals , Atlético defeated José Mourinhos Chelsea 3–1 at Stamford Bridge following a goalless draw at home to reach the Champions League final for only the second time in club history , the first being in 1974 . Atlético was the only undefeated team in the Champions League prior to the final , recording nine wins and three draws , and had the best defence in the competition , conceding only 6 goals in 12 matches . In the final on 24 May 2014 , Atlético faced city rivals Real Madrid at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon . Despite leading from Diego Godíns header , Atlético conceded a late equaliser in the 93rd minute of the match . The goal hampered Atléticos morale , and the team ended up losing 4–1 after extra time , with Simeone losing the opportunity to be the third Argentine coach to win the Champions League , after Luis Carniglia and Helenio Herrera . After the final goal , Real Madrids Raphaël Varane kicked the ball towards Simeone , causing Simeone to run onto the pitch in anger . He was sent to the stands , and Varane was booked for the incident . Reflecting , Simeone said , I also made a mistake with my reaction . Hes a young guy with a bright future . Simeone also admitted a mistake in selecting striker Diego Costa to start the match , as he had been recently injured and was forced off after eight minutes . In the summer of 2014 , Chelsea acquired Diego Costa , Filipe Luís and Thibaut Courtois from Atlético , and also David Villa moved to the MLS . In response , Atlético acquired striker Mario Mandžukić from Bayern Munich , goalkeeper Jan Oblak from Benfica and forwards Antoine Griezmann from Real Sociedad and Ángel Correa from San Lorenzo , and recovered young midfielder Saúl who was on loan at Rayo Vallecano . The season started with Atlético defeating city rivals Real Madrid for the Spanish Super Cup in August and repeating the previous years victory in the Bernabéu for the league in September . In January , the team acquired Fernando Torres on loan from Milan . However , Atlético finished the league in third place and was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid 1–0 , on aggregate . Before the start of the 2015–16 season , Filipe Luís returned from Chelsea with the team also acquiring Montenegrin defender Stefan Savić and Belgian midfielder Yannick Carrasco . Mario Mandžukić left for Juventus . In 2015–16 , Atlético was the team with the best defensive record in Europes big five leagues , only allowing 18 goals scored against them in 38 La Liga games . Atlético was also the team with the most clean sheets in their games . The team was contending the league title until the last fixture against Barcelona and Real Madrid , settling for third with 88 points . In the UEFA Champions League , Simeone led Atlético to their second Champions League final in three seasons , becoming the first Argentine manager since Héctor Cúper to reach two Champions League finals . Atlético had defeated PSV on penalties during the round of 16 , beat defending champions Barcelona 3–2 on aggregate and favourites Bayern Munich 2–2 , going through on away goals , setting up a repeat of the 2014 final again facing Real Madrid . The match ended 1–1 after extra time leading to a penalty shootout . Juanfran was the only player to miss his kick , enabling Cristiano Ronaldo to score Reals last spot kick , condemning Atlético to a second Champions League final defeat in three seasons . In the summer of 2016 , Atlético purchased forward Kevin Gameiro from Sevilla , midfielder Nicolás Gaitán from Benfica , and defender Šime Vrsaljko from Sassuolo . They also acquired the rights to Fernando Torres ( previously on loan from Milan ) . The team again finished third in the league and lost in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals , again to Real Madrid . 2017–21 : Second Europa League and La Liga victories . On 5 September 2017 , Simeone extended his contract with Atlético for two more years , until June 2020 . In the 2017–18 season , Atlético would finish in second place in La Liga , behind Barcelona but ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League group stage , Atlético did not advance and dropped to the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League . In January 2018 , Diego Costa returned to Atlético from Chelsea . On 16 May 2018 , the team won the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final against Marseille . Simeone was sent to the stands in the first leg of the semi-finals against Arsenal and was suspended . He was forced to watch the second leg and final from the stands . In the 2018–19 season , Atlético bought Thomas Lemar from AS Monaco and Rodri from Villarreal , and in January 2019 acquired Álvaro Morata on loan from Chelsea , while longtime team captain Gabi signed for Qatari club Al-Sadd before the start of the season . The team again finished second in the league behind Barcelona and ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the Champions League , they advanced to the first knockout round , where they were eliminated by Juventus , winning the first leg 2–0 at the Wanda Metropolitano but losing the return leg 3–0 in Turin . Simeone guided his side into the last 16 of UEFA Champions League for the sixth time since he came to reign in 2011 , while before his arrival Atlético had only done so 7 times in 60 years . On 11 March 2020 , Atletico Madrid eliminated the reigning European champions Liverpool with a 3–2 triumph after extra-time at Anfield , winning 4–2 on aggregate , after Saul secured a 1–0 first-leg win in the reverse via a 5th-minute strike . On 27 June 2020 , Simeone won his 195th game in the top-flight of Spanish football as Atleti beat Deportivo Alavés 2–1 on Saturday . With the triumph , the Argentine has overtaken the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 194 ) , as the manager with the most La Liga wins in the club’s history . On 7 July 2020 , Simeone overtook John Toshack as the third coach with the most games managed at a single club in the history of the top-flight of Spanish football during Atletis match against Celta Vigo , his 323rd game in La Liga . Only Miguel Muñoz ( Real Madrid , 424 ) and , the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 407 ) remain ahead of him . For the 2020–21 season , Atlético parted ways with longtime-serving forward Diego Costa and acquired Luis Suárez after his departure from Barcelona . The team brought back Yannick Carrasco from Dalian Professional and also acquired Geoffrey Kondogbia from Valencia , Lucas Torreira on loan from Arsenal and Moussa Dembelé on loan from Lyon , while Thomas Partey left for Arsenal and Álvaro Morata was loaned to Juventus . On 17 October 2020 , Simeone reached his 200th win in the league in a 2–0 away win against Celta Vigo . On 30 December 2020 , he reached his 500th match in charge of Atletico Madrid in a 1–0 win over Getafe . On 10 March 2021 , Simeone overtook Luis Aragonés for the most wins ever as manager of the club in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao , his 309th win overall . After a 4–0 away defeat to Bayern Munich and many injuries to key players in November 2020 , Simeone modified the formation of his squad by introducing a three-man defence for the first time in his tenure coaching Atlético . In this formation , Carrasco played as a wing-back , with left centre-back Mario Hermoso being instructed to also cover the left-back position when Carrasco moved forward , which made the formation tactically-flexible between a three-man and four-man defence . After the formational change , Atlético were solidified defensively and began a streak of victories , including a 1–0 home victory against Barcelona . This streak propelled the team to a 10-point lead over Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2020-21 La Liga title race by February . However , a series of bad results from February to April meant that Atlético were eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea and Real Madrid closed the league gap to two points before the final matchday , meaning Atlético needed a victory in the last La Liga round to win the championship . Thanks to a Suárez goal in the 67th minute , Atlético Madrid managed eventually to win their second La Liga title under Simeone , after a 2–1 away win over Real Valladolid on the final match day . Tactics . Simeones preferred formation is the 4–4–2 , which he first practised when he was manager of Estudiantes de la Plata in 2006 . In this formation , the two wingers move inside and act like attacking midfielders , creating space for the full backs and fluidity in the attack , effectively being a 4–2–2–2 when the team is on the offensive . The two holding midfielders provide the defensive muscle needed to win midfield battles . Utilizing this formation , Simeones Estudiantes won the 2006 Apertura by beating Boca Juniors 2–1 while being down to ten men from the first half . It is essentially this formation that Simeone also utilizes at Atlético Madrid . Simeone has listed his coaching influences being Marcelo Bielsa , Sven-Göran Eriksson , Alfio Basile , Victorio Spinetto , Luigi Simoni , Carlos Bilardo and Radomir Antić . When he was manager at River Plate , a team graced with the attacking talents of Radamel Falcao , Alexis Sánchez , Ariel Ortega , Mauro Rosales , Diego Buonanotte , Augusto Fernández and Sebastián Abreu , Simeone played an aggressive 3–3–1–3 formation reminiscent of those used by influential manager ( and Simeones mentor ) Marcelo Bielsa . Using this formation , River won the 2008 Clausura , but in the next season , with Sánchez having returned to Udinese and several players suffering from injuries , the 3–3–1–3 backfired and River finished bottom of the table , with Simeone being sacked in the process . A common feature of Simeones teams is defensive compactness and quick counter-attacks . Their defending consists of two stages : deep defending in their own defensive third in a narrow 4–4–2 consisting of two closely connected defensive lines of four players , and counter-pressing in their opponents third to win the ball high up the pitch . When the ball is won , the team attack as a unit , deploying their fluid 4–2–2–2 formation , with the forwards often shifting to the flanks to create even more space . In defense , the key idea is to force opponents into wide areas , gain numerical dominance in the balls zone and steal the ball or force the opponent into a backward pass . Counter-pressing consists of reducing an opposing teams space , disrupting their build-up and reducing the number of safe positions for opponents movement on the pitch , thus eliminating goal threats . Claudio Ranieris Premier League-winning 2015–16 Leicester City team has been compared to Simeones Atletico Madrid for upsetting bigger teams by also playing a narrow 4–4–2 and being compact in defense and midfield . In the short time he managed Italian side Catania in 2011 , he switched between a 4–2–3–1 and a 4–3–1–2 in order to bring out the best from playmaker Adrián Ricchiuti while employing many of the counter-attacking features that would later become his trademark at Atlético . Ricchiuti was tasked with linking the midfield and attack and creating chances for whichever of Maxi López , Gonzalo Bergessio and Francesco Lodi were selected up front . Simeone said he did not want to fossilise [ himself ] with a rigid tactic , saying managers cannot have a favourite formation for the simple fact that we have to adapt not to what we like but to what we have to work with . His players stayed compact and narrow when defending , with the widemen – two of Ezequiel Schelotto , Giuseppe Mascara , Raphael Martinho and Alejandro Gómez – expected to drop back and tuck in when out of possession ; meanwhile , playmaker Ricchiuti and the central striker – more often than not López – moved back into midfield rather than pressing the centre-backs , with the aim being preventing simple passes into the middle of the pitch . Simeone is also renowned for his attention to detail and quick adaptability to a games changing situations . During his time as manager of Atlético Madrid , he has placed emphasis on creating chances from set-pieces , while not allowing the opponent to create chances from set-pieces . Several important goals , including the one that gave Atlético the 2014 La Liga title , have been scored from set-pieces . While his teams arent known for controlling possession , they are lauded for controlling the pace and space in which a game is played . He is quick in making tactical changes to influence a games outcome . In the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern in Munich , with his team down 1–0 after 45 minutes , he moved Saúl Ñíguez from the right wing to a holding midfielder position , changing the 4–4–2 to a 4–1–4–1 formation with Carrasco and Griezmann on the flanks . While on paper Saúl was seemingly out of his normal position in this role , in effect this change meant that midfielders Gabi and Koke , who were overwhelmed in the first half by Bayerns pressure , would now be shielded by Saúls presence behind them , and the midfield would regain its much-needed composure . Eventually , the change had the desired outcome , with Atlético equalizing through Antoine Griezmann and advancing to the Champions League final . Simeone has also earned praise for instilling confidence and discipline in his players , which has helped his teams emerge victorious under adverse conditions . For example , in the last game of 2014s La Liga , at the Camp Nou against Barcelona , when Atlético needed a draw to win the championship , both Diego Costa and Arda Turan were taken out of the game due to injury in the first half , and Barcelona opened the scoring . However , Simeone was able to rally his team at half-time and Godins header in the second half gave them the much needed draw . Simeone said : At half-time I told them to be relaxed . In the first half we did well . I knew if we scored , it would cost them . Thats what happened . There was an amazing collective effort from everyone . During a leg in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League semi-final against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium , Atlético were playing without key players Diego Costa , Juanfran , Filipe Luis and Vitolo , and in the 10th minute , Sime Vrsaljko was sent off with a red card , followed by Simeone being also sent off . Despite playing with ten men , without their manager at the bench , with most players in makeshift positions , and enjoying only 24% of ball possession , the team lost neither its shape nor its composure , eventually holding out to a 1–1 draw that was enough for them to progress to the final . Simeone taught us to enjoy suffering , Arda Turan said in 2015 , supporting this feeling that the Argentinean coach is a man who takes the best things out of bad situations . Diego Godin has also said about his manager : The players would die for him [ Simeone ] . He gives belief that we can compete against much bigger teams . We have great confidence in him , we are with him to the death and also he with us - and that shows on the pitch . I believe the whole team has confidence in the coach and we all know the path we have to take : he marks the way for us and we go with him until the death . That is how you achieve things . In the 2020–21 season , amid COVID-19 and injury crisis among the teams forwards , Simeone experimented with back three formations , such as 5–3–2 and 3–5–2 . This saw them adapt to a new , more possession-heavy style , averaging the majority of possession over the season for the first time since their victorious 2013–14 season . Personal life . Simeones sons Giovanni and Gianluca are professional footballers , currently playing for Cagliari Calcio and CD Ibiza respectively . His third son , Giuliano , has been seen as a ball-boy for Atlético Madrid . On 12 September 2020 , Simeone tested positive for COVID-19 . Career statistics . International . Source : Honours .

After winning the double in Spain , he would then add the Italian double as Lazio edged out Inter to claim the 1999–2000 Coppa Italia .

During the 1998 World Cup , Englands David Beckham was sent off for kicking Simeone in retaliation for a foul ( see also Argentina–England football rivalry ) . Simeone later said he simulated the injury from the kick in order to get Beckham sent off . Sports Illustrated was critical of the Argentinians theatrics in that incident , stating Simeone first delivered a heavy-handed challenge on Beckham and then fell like a ton of bricks when Beckham retaliated .

On 31 August 2012 , his Atlético side won the UEFA Super Cup after defeating Chelsea 4–1 at the Stade Louis II in Monaco . In the domestic league , the team made an impressive start to the season , finishing the first half in second place , behind only Barcelona and above city rivals Real Madrid .

On 17 May 2013 , he won the Copa del Rey after Atlético defeated rivals Real Madrid 2–1 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium . 2013–17 : La Liga win and Champions League finals . Atlético began the 2013–14 season with a similar squad to their prior season , despite selling star player Radamel Falcao to Monaco for a reported €60 million fee and acquiring David Villa from Barcelona on a free transfer . While the season began with a defeat to Barça in the 2013 Supercopa de España , the team recorded eight-straight victories in La Liga , the best league start in club history . This included a 1–0 away win at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid , making Simeone the first Atlético manager since Claudio Ranieri in 1999 to record a league victory there . Atlético finished the first half of the season in first place in La Liga , level on points with Barcelona at 47 . In the last round of the season , on 17 May , Atlético needed at least a draw in the Camp Nou against Barcelona to be crowned champions for the first time since 1996 , while a loss would give the title to Barcelona .

Also in 2013–14 , Atlético finished top of their Champions League group and qualified for the quarter-finals with a 5–1 aggregate win over Milan in the round of 16 . This was the first time they had reached the Champions League quarter-finals since 1996–97 , when Simeone played for the team .

In the final on 24 May 2014 , Atlético faced city rivals Real Madrid at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon . Despite leading from Diego Godíns header , Atlético conceded a late equaliser in the 93rd minute of the match .

In the summer of 2014 , Chelsea acquired Diego Costa , Filipe Luís and Thibaut Courtois from Atlético , and also David Villa moved to the MLS . In response , Atlético acquired striker Mario Mandžukić from Bayern Munich , goalkeeper Jan Oblak from Benfica and forwards Antoine Griezmann from Real Sociedad and Ángel Correa from San Lorenzo , and recovered young midfielder Saúl who was on loan at Rayo Vallecano . The season started with Atlético defeating city rivals Real Madrid for the Spanish Super Cup in August and repeating the previous years victory in the Bernabéu for the league in September . In January , the team acquired Fernando Torres on loan from Milan . However , Atlético finished the league in third place and was eliminated in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid 1–0 , on aggregate .

Mario Mandžukić left for Juventus . In 2015–16 , Atlético was the team with the best defensive record in Europes big five leagues , only allowing 18 goals scored against them in 38 La Liga games . Atlético was also the team with the most clean sheets in their games . The team was contending the league title until the last fixture against Barcelona and Real Madrid , settling for third with 88 points . In the UEFA Champions League , Simeone led Atlético to their second Champions League final in three seasons , becoming the first Argentine manager since Héctor Cúper to reach two Champions League finals . Atlético had defeated PSV on penalties during the round of 16 , beat defending champions Barcelona 3–2 on aggregate and favourites Bayern Munich 2–2 , going through on away goals , setting up a repeat of the 2014 final again facing Real Madrid . The match ended 1–1 after extra time leading to a penalty shootout . Juanfran was the only player to miss his kick , enabling Cristiano Ronaldo to score Reals last spot kick , condemning Atlético to a second Champions League final defeat in three seasons . In the summer of 2016 , Atlético purchased forward Kevin Gameiro from Sevilla , midfielder Nicolás Gaitán from Benfica , and defender Šime Vrsaljko from Sassuolo . They also acquired the rights to Fernando Torres ( previously on loan from Milan ) . The team again finished third in the league and lost in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals , again to Real Madrid . 2017–21 : Second Europa League and La Liga victories . On 5 September 2017 , Simeone extended his contract with Atlético for two more years , until June 2020 . In the 2017–18 season , Atlético would finish in second place in La Liga , behind Barcelona but ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League group stage , Atlético did not advance and dropped to the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League . In January 2018 , Diego Costa returned to Atlético from Chelsea . On 16 May 2018 , the team won the 2018 UEFA Europa League Final against Marseille . Simeone was sent to the stands in the first leg of the semi-finals against Arsenal and was suspended . He was forced to watch the second leg and final from the stands . In the 2018–19 season , Atlético bought Thomas Lemar from AS Monaco and Rodri from Villarreal , and in January 2019 acquired Álvaro Morata on loan from Chelsea , while longtime team captain Gabi signed for Qatari club Al-Sadd before the start of the season . The team again finished second in the league behind Barcelona and ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the Champions League , they advanced to the first knockout round , where they were eliminated by Juventus , winning the first leg 2–0 at the Wanda Metropolitano but losing the return leg 3–0 in Turin . Simeone guided his side into the last 16 of UEFA Champions League for the sixth time since he came to reign in 2011 , while before his arrival Atlético had only done so 7 times in 60 years . On 11 March 2020 , Atletico Madrid eliminated the reigning European champions Liverpool with a 3–2 triumph after extra-time at Anfield , winning 4–2 on aggregate , after Saul secured a 1–0 first-leg win in the reverse via a 5th-minute strike . On 27 June 2020 , Simeone won his 195th game in the top-flight of Spanish football as Atleti beat Deportivo Alavés 2–1 on Saturday . With the triumph , the Argentine has overtaken the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 194 ) , as the manager with the most La Liga wins in the club’s history . On 7 July 2020 , Simeone overtook John Toshack as the third coach with the most games managed at a single club in the history of the top-flight of Spanish football during Atletis match against Celta Vigo , his 323rd game in La Liga . Only Miguel Muñoz ( Real Madrid , 424 ) and , the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 407 ) remain ahead of him . For the 2020–21 season , Atlético parted ways with longtime-serving forward Diego Costa and acquired Luis Suárez after his departure from Barcelona . The team brought back Yannick Carrasco from Dalian Professional and also acquired Geoffrey Kondogbia from Valencia , Lucas Torreira on loan from Arsenal and Moussa Dembelé on loan from Lyon , while Thomas Partey left for Arsenal and Álvaro Morata was loaned to Juventus . On 17 October 2020 , Simeone reached his 200th win in the league in a 2–0 away win against Celta Vigo . On 30 December 2020 , he reached his 500th match in charge of Atletico Madrid in a 1–0 win over Getafe . On 10 March 2021 , Simeone overtook Luis Aragonés for the most wins ever as manager of the club in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao , his 309th win overall . After a 4–0 away defeat to Bayern Munich and many injuries to key players in November 2020 , Simeone modified the formation of his squad by introducing a three-man defence for the first time in his tenure coaching Atlético . In this formation , Carrasco played as a wing-back , with left centre-back Mario Hermoso being instructed to also cover the left-back position when Carrasco moved forward , which made the formation tactically-flexible between a three-man and four-man defence . After the formational change , Atlético were solidified defensively and began a streak of victories , including a 1–0 home victory against Barcelona . This streak propelled the team to a 10-point lead over Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2020-21 La Liga title race by February . However , a series of bad results from February to April meant that Atlético were eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea and Real Madrid closed the league gap to two points before the final matchday , meaning Atlético needed a victory in the last La Liga round to win the championship . Thanks to a Suárez goal in the 67th minute , Atlético Madrid managed eventually to win their second La Liga title under Simeone , after a 2–1 away win over Real Valladolid on the final match day . Tactics . Simeones preferred formation is the 4–4–2 , which he first practised when he was manager of Estudiantes de la Plata in 2006 . In this formation , the two wingers move inside and act like attacking midfielders , creating space for the full backs and fluidity in the attack , effectively being a 4–2–2–2 when the team is on the offensive . The two holding midfielders provide the defensive muscle needed to win midfield battles . Utilizing this formation , Simeones Estudiantes won the 2006 Apertura by beating Boca Juniors 2–1 while being down to ten men from the first half . It is essentially this formation that Simeone also utilizes at Atlético Madrid . Simeone has listed his coaching influences being Marcelo Bielsa , Sven-Göran Eriksson , Alfio Basile , Victorio Spinetto , Luigi Simoni , Carlos Bilardo and Radomir Antić . When he was manager at River Plate , a team graced with the attacking talents of Radamel Falcao , Alexis Sánchez , Ariel Ortega , Mauro Rosales , Diego Buonanotte , Augusto Fernández and Sebastián Abreu , Simeone played an aggressive 3–3–1–3 formation reminiscent of those used by influential manager ( and Simeones mentor ) Marcelo Bielsa . Using this formation , River won the 2008 Clausura , but in the next season , with Sánchez having returned to Udinese and several players suffering from injuries , the 3–3–1–3 backfired and River finished bottom of the table , with Simeone being sacked in the process . A common feature of Simeones teams is defensive compactness and quick counter-attacks . Their defending consists of two stages : deep defending in their own defensive third in a narrow 4–4–2 consisting of two closely connected defensive lines of four players , and counter-pressing in their opponents third to win the ball high up the pitch . When the ball is won , the team attack as a unit , deploying their fluid 4–2–2–2 formation , with the forwards often shifting to the flanks to create even more space . In defense , the key idea is to force opponents into wide areas , gain numerical dominance in the balls zone and steal the ball or force the opponent into a backward pass . Counter-pressing consists of reducing an opposing teams space , disrupting their build-up and reducing the number of safe positions for opponents movement on the pitch , thus eliminating goal threats . Claudio Ranieris Premier League-winning 2015–16 Leicester City team has been compared to Simeones Atletico Madrid for upsetting bigger teams by also playing a narrow 4–4–2 and being compact in defense and midfield . In the short time he managed Italian side Catania in 2011 , he switched between a 4–2–3–1 and a 4–3–1–2 in order to bring out the best from playmaker Adrián Ricchiuti while employing many of the counter-attacking features that would later become his trademark at Atlético . Ricchiuti was tasked with linking the midfield and attack and creating chances for whichever of Maxi López , Gonzalo Bergessio and Francesco Lodi were selected up front . Simeone said he did not want to fossilise [ himself ] with a rigid tactic , saying managers cannot have a favourite formation for the simple fact that we have to adapt not to what we like but to what we have to work with . His players stayed compact and narrow when defending , with the widemen – two of Ezequiel Schelotto , Giuseppe Mascara , Raphael Martinho and Alejandro Gómez – expected to drop back and tuck in when out of possession ; meanwhile , playmaker Ricchiuti and the central striker – more often than not López – moved back into midfield rather than pressing the centre-backs , with the aim being preventing simple passes into the middle of the pitch . Simeone is also renowned for his attention to detail and quick adaptability to a games changing situations . During his time as manager of Atlético Madrid , he has placed emphasis on creating chances from set-pieces , while not allowing the opponent to create chances from set-pieces . Several important goals , including the one that gave Atlético the 2014 La Liga title , have been scored from set-pieces . While his teams arent known for controlling possession , they are lauded for controlling the pace and space in which a game is played . He is quick in making tactical changes to influence a games outcome . In the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern in Munich , with his team down 1–0 after 45 minutes , he moved Saúl Ñíguez from the right wing to a holding midfielder position , changing the 4–4–2 to a 4–1–4–1 formation with Carrasco and Griezmann on the flanks . While on paper Saúl was seemingly out of his normal position in this role , in effect this change meant that midfielders Gabi and Koke , who were overwhelmed in the first half by Bayerns pressure , would now be shielded by Saúls presence behind them , and the midfield would regain its much-needed composure . Eventually , the change had the desired outcome , with Atlético equalizing through Antoine Griezmann and advancing to the Champions League final . Simeone has also earned praise for instilling confidence and discipline in his players , which has helped his teams emerge victorious under adverse conditions . For example , in the last game of 2014s La Liga , at the Camp Nou against Barcelona , when Atlético needed a draw to win the championship , both Diego Costa and Arda Turan were taken out of the game due to injury in the first half , and Barcelona opened the scoring . However , Simeone was able to rally his team at half-time and Godins header in the second half gave them the much needed draw . Simeone said : At half-time I told them to be relaxed . In the first half we did well . I knew if we scored , it would cost them . Thats what happened . There was an amazing collective effort from everyone . During a leg in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League semi-final against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium , Atlético were playing without key players Diego Costa , Juanfran , Filipe Luis and Vitolo , and in the 10th minute , Sime Vrsaljko was sent off with a red card , followed by Simeone being also sent off . Despite playing with ten men , without their manager at the bench , with most players in makeshift positions , and enjoying only 24% of ball possession , the team lost neither its shape nor its composure , eventually holding out to a 1–1 draw that was enough for them to progress to the final . Simeone taught us to enjoy suffering , Arda Turan said in 2015 , supporting this feeling that the Argentinean coach is a man who takes the best things out of bad situations . Diego Godin has also said about his manager : The players would die for him [ Simeone ] . He gives belief that we can compete against much bigger teams . We have great confidence in him , we are with him to the death and also he with us - and that shows on the pitch . I believe the whole team has confidence in the coach and we all know the path we have to take : he marks the way for us and we go with him until the death . That is how you achieve things . In the 2020–21 season , amid COVID-19 and injury crisis among the teams forwards , Simeone experimented with back three formations , such as 5–3–2 and 3–5–2 . This saw them adapt to a new , more possession-heavy style , averaging the majority of possession over the season for the first time since their victorious 2013–14 season . Personal life . Simeones sons Giovanni and Gianluca are professional footballers , currently playing for Cagliari Calcio and CD Ibiza respectively . His third son , Giuliano , has been seen as a ball-boy for Atlético Madrid . On 12 September 2020 , Simeone tested positive for COVID-19 . Career statistics . International . Source : Honours .

The team again finished second in the league behind Barcelona and ahead of city rivals Real Madrid . In the Champions League , they advanced to the first knockout round , where they were eliminated by Juventus , winning the first leg 2–0 at the Wanda Metropolitano but losing the return leg 3–0 in Turin . Simeone guided his side into the last 16 of UEFA Champions League for the sixth time since he came to reign in 2011 , while before his arrival Atlético had only done so 7 times in 60 years . On 11 March 2020 , Atletico Madrid eliminated the reigning European champions Liverpool with a 3–2 triumph after extra-time at Anfield , winning 4–2 on aggregate , after Saul secured a 1–0 first-leg win in the reverse via a 5th-minute strike . On 27 June 2020 , Simeone won his 195th game in the top-flight of Spanish football as Atleti beat Deportivo Alavés 2–1 on Saturday . With the triumph , the Argentine has overtaken the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 194 ) , as the manager with the most La Liga wins in the club’s history . On 7 July 2020 , Simeone overtook John Toshack as the third coach with the most games managed at a single club in the history of the top-flight of Spanish football during Atletis match against Celta Vigo , his 323rd game in La Liga . Only Miguel Muñoz ( Real Madrid , 424 ) and , the club legend , Luis Aragonés ( 407 ) remain ahead of him . For the 2020–21 season , Atlético parted ways with longtime-serving forward Diego Costa and acquired Luis Suárez after his departure from Barcelona . The team brought back Yannick Carrasco from Dalian Professional and also acquired Geoffrey Kondogbia from Valencia , Lucas Torreira on loan from Arsenal and Moussa Dembelé on loan from Lyon , while Thomas Partey left for Arsenal and Álvaro Morata was loaned to Juventus . On 17 October 2020 , Simeone reached his 200th win in the league in a 2–0 away win against Celta Vigo . On 30 December 2020 , he reached his 500th match in charge of Atletico Madrid in a 1–0 win over Getafe . On 10 March 2021 , Simeone overtook Luis Aragonés for the most wins ever as manager of the club in a 2–1 home win against Athletic Bilbao , his 309th win overall . After a 4–0 away defeat to Bayern Munich and many injuries to key players in November 2020 , Simeone modified the formation of his squad by introducing a three-man defence for the first time in his tenure coaching Atlético . In this formation , Carrasco played as a wing-back , with left centre-back Mario Hermoso being instructed to also cover the left-back position when Carrasco moved forward , which made the formation tactically-flexible between a three-man and four-man defence . After the formational change , Atlético were solidified defensively and began a streak of victories , including a 1–0 home victory against Barcelona . This streak propelled the team to a 10-point lead over Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 2020-21 La Liga title race by February . However , a series of bad results from February to April meant that Atlético were eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea and Real Madrid closed the league gap to two points before the final matchday , meaning Atlético needed a victory in the last La Liga round to win the championship . Thanks to a Suárez goal in the 67th minute , Atlético Madrid managed eventually to win their second La Liga title under Simeone , after a 2–1 away win over Real Valladolid on the final match day . Tactics . Simeones preferred formation is the 4–4–2 , which he first practised when he was manager of Estudiantes de la Plata in 2006 . In this formation , the two wingers move inside and act like attacking midfielders , creating space for the full backs and fluidity in the attack , effectively being a 4–2–2–2 when the team is on the offensive . The two holding midfielders provide the defensive muscle needed to win midfield battles . Utilizing this formation , Simeones Estudiantes won the 2006 Apertura by beating Boca Juniors 2–1 while being down to ten men from the first half . It is essentially this formation that Simeone also utilizes at Atlético Madrid . Simeone has listed his coaching influences being Marcelo Bielsa , Sven-Göran Eriksson , Alfio Basile , Victorio Spinetto , Luigi Simoni , Carlos Bilardo and Radomir Antić . When he was manager at River Plate , a team graced with the attacking talents of Radamel Falcao , Alexis Sánchez , Ariel Ortega , Mauro Rosales , Diego Buonanotte , Augusto Fernández and Sebastián Abreu , Simeone played an aggressive 3–3–1–3 formation reminiscent of those used by influential manager ( and Simeones mentor ) Marcelo Bielsa . Using this formation , River won the 2008 Clausura , but in the next season , with Sánchez having returned to Udinese and several players suffering from injuries , the 3–3–1–3 backfired and River finished bottom of the table , with Simeone being sacked in the process . A common feature of Simeones teams is defensive compactness and quick counter-attacks . Their defending consists of two stages : deep defending in their own defensive third in a narrow 4–4–2 consisting of two closely connected defensive lines of four players , and counter-pressing in their opponents third to win the ball high up the pitch . When the ball is won , the team attack as a unit , deploying their fluid 4–2–2–2 formation , with the forwards often shifting to the flanks to create even more space . In defense , the key idea is to force opponents into wide areas , gain numerical dominance in the balls zone and steal the ball or force the opponent into a backward pass . Counter-pressing consists of reducing an opposing teams space , disrupting their build-up and reducing the number of safe positions for opponents movement on the pitch , thus eliminating goal threats . Claudio Ranieris Premier League-winning 2015–16 Leicester City team has been compared to Simeones Atletico Madrid for upsetting bigger teams by also playing a narrow 4–4–2 and being compact in defense and midfield . In the short time he managed Italian side Catania in 2011 , he switched between a 4–2–3–1 and a 4–3–1–2 in order to bring out the best from playmaker Adrián Ricchiuti while employing many of the counter-attacking features that would later become his trademark at Atlético . Ricchiuti was tasked with linking the midfield and attack and creating chances for whichever of Maxi López , Gonzalo Bergessio and Francesco Lodi were selected up front . Simeone said he did not want to fossilise [ himself ] with a rigid tactic , saying managers cannot have a favourite formation for the simple fact that we have to adapt not to what we like but to what we have to work with . His players stayed compact and narrow when defending , with the widemen – two of Ezequiel Schelotto , Giuseppe Mascara , Raphael Martinho and Alejandro Gómez – expected to drop back and tuck in when out of possession ; meanwhile , playmaker Ricchiuti and the central striker – more often than not López – moved back into midfield rather than pressing the centre-backs , with the aim being preventing simple passes into the middle of the pitch . Simeone is also renowned for his attention to detail and quick adaptability to a games changing situations . During his time as manager of Atlético Madrid , he has placed emphasis on creating chances from set-pieces , while not allowing the opponent to create chances from set-pieces . Several important goals , including the one that gave Atlético the 2014 La Liga title , have been scored from set-pieces . While his teams arent known for controlling possession , they are lauded for controlling the pace and space in which a game is played . He is quick in making tactical changes to influence a games outcome . In the 2015–16 UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern in Munich , with his team down 1–0 after 45 minutes , he moved Saúl Ñíguez from the right wing to a holding midfielder position , changing the 4–4–2 to a 4–1–4–1 formation with Carrasco and Griezmann on the flanks . While on paper Saúl was seemingly out of his normal position in this role , in effect this change meant that midfielders Gabi and Koke , who were overwhelmed in the first half by Bayerns pressure , would now be shielded by Saúls presence behind them , and the midfield would regain its much-needed composure . Eventually , the change had the desired outcome , with Atlético equalizing through Antoine Griezmann and advancing to the Champions League final . Simeone has also earned praise for instilling confidence and discipline in his players , which has helped his teams emerge victorious under adverse conditions . For example , in the last game of 2014s La Liga , at the Camp Nou against Barcelona , when Atlético needed a draw to win the championship , both Diego Costa and Arda Turan were taken out of the game due to injury in the first half , and Barcelona opened the scoring . However , Simeone was able to rally his team at half-time and Godins header in the second half gave them the much needed draw . Simeone said : At half-time I told them to be relaxed . In the first half we did well . I knew if we scored , it would cost them . Thats what happened . There was an amazing collective effort from everyone . During a leg in the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League semi-final against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium , Atlético were playing without key players Diego Costa , Juanfran , Filipe Luis and Vitolo , and in the 10th minute , Sime Vrsaljko was sent off with a red card , followed by Simeone being also sent off . Despite playing with ten men , without their manager at the bench , with most players in makeshift positions , and enjoying only 24% of ball possession , the team lost neither its shape nor its composure , eventually holding out to a 1–1 draw that was enough for them to progress to the final . Simeone taught us to enjoy suffering , Arda Turan said in 2015 , supporting this feeling that the Argentinean coach is a man who takes the best things out of bad situations . Diego Godin has also said about his manager : The players would die for him [ Simeone ] . He gives belief that we can compete against much bigger teams . We have great confidence in him , we are with him to the death and also he with us - and that shows on the pitch . I believe the whole team has confidence in the coach and we all know the path we have to take : he marks the way for us and we go with him until the death . That is how you achieve things . In the 2020–21 season , amid COVID-19 and injury crisis among the teams forwards , Simeone experimented with back three formations , such as 5–3–2 and 3–5–2 . This saw them adapt to a new , more possession-heavy style , averaging the majority of possession over the season for the first time since their victorious 2013–14 season . Personal life . Simeones sons Giovanni and Gianluca are professional footballers , currently playing for Cagliari Calcio and CD Ibiza respectively . His third son , Giuliano , has been seen as a ball-boy for Atlético Madrid . On 12 September 2020 , Simeone tested positive for COVID-19 . Career statistics . International . Source : Honours .

Elisabeth Bik was an employee for whom between Apr 1996 and Aug 1996?
|
Elisabeth Bik Elisabeth Margaretha Harbers-Bik ( born 1966 ) is a Dutch microbiologist and scientific integrity consultant . Bik is known for her work detecting photo manipulation in scientific publications , and identifying over 4,000 potential cases of improper research conduct , including 400 research papers published by authors in China from a paper mill company . Bik is the founder of Microbiome Digest , a blog with daily updates on microbiome research , and the Science Integrity Digest blog . Early life and education . Bik is born in the Netherlands . She attended Utrecht University majoring in biology , and continued there for her doctorate . Her dissertation was about developing vaccines for new classes of Vibrio cholerae involved in cholera epidemics across India and Bangladesh . She conducted her doctorate and her postdoctoral studies at the molecular microbiology department in the National Institute of Health and the Environment in Bilthoven . Career . Public sector . After receiving her Ph.D. , Bik worked for the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment and St . Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein , where she organized the development of new molecular techniques for identifying infectious agents . Academia . In 2001 , Bik moved to California to work at Stanford University in the laboratory of David Relman , where her work focused on human microbiomes , previously unidentified microbial species in them , and their diversity across individuals . Her work explored other mucosal microbiomes , confirming that the human oral microbiota contains distinct genera from the gut microbiota . While at Stanford , Bik worked on an Office of Naval Research project to study the microbiome of dolphins and sea lions in San Diego . She found that their microbiome was distinct from other mammals , and influenced by the sea they lived in . Private sector . In 2016 , Bik left Stanford to work for uBiome , a biotech company involved in the sequencing of human microbiomes , before leaving the company in 2018 to work full-time on analyzing scientific papers for image duplication and other malpractices . Science integrity . In 2014 , she started the blog Microbiome Digest , where she provided easy-to-understand commentaries on recent scientific papers . The blog soon became a success , and Bik enlisted help from her colleagues on Twitter to manage the content . She is also an active contributor to Retraction Watch and PubPeer , highlighting scientific papers that present falsified , duplicated , and questionable data , such as in western blot images . Together with Arturo Cassadevall and Ferric Fang , Bik published an mBio paper investigating the prevalence of these questionable practices within published scientific papers , where they found nearly 400 papers with intentional figure manipulation ( i.e . about 800 duplicate images ) . She estimates half of these were created with the intention to mislead . Bik is active on the social media micro-blogging platform , Twitter , where she posts potentially duplicated figures for her more than 90,000 Twitter followers ( ) to investigate . Her investigations have exposed significant levels of scientific misconduct in several journals . In 2018 , Bik was featured on the pop science podcast Everything Hertz . In 2019 , Bik announced via Twitter that she was taking a year off paid work to investigate scientific misconduct , the subject on which she coauthored a preregistered test suggesting that academic culture , peer control , cash-based publication incentives and national misconduct policies , but not pressure to publish , may affect scientific integrity , with nationality being a stronger predictor than individual attributes . Her analysis of 960 recent papers published in Molecular and Cellular Biology found that 59 ( 6.1% ) contained inappropriately duplicated images , from which 5 papers were subsequently retracted and 41 papers had corrections published , and led to a pilot image screening program at the journal identifying problems with 14.5% of subsequent submissions . In February 2020 , Science reported that Bik had identified over 400 research papers published in China over the previous three years , apparently all originating from the same paper mill company providing full service production of articles describing fake research for medical students on demand . Bik said , students in China need to have a paper published to get their MD , but they do not have time to do research , so that is an unrealistic goal . In March 2020 , commenting on the publication of the results of a clinical trial by Didier Raoult on the effect of hydroxychloroquine against COVID-19 , she identified a conflict of interest and strongly criticized the methodology of the study . The learned society that owns the journal in which the results were published admitted that the publication was not at the level expected by the society , in particular due to a lack of justification of the criteria for patient selection and triage . However , the society rebutted allegations of a conflict of interest , stating that the peer review process prior to publication was respected because Jean-Marc Rolain , being one of the co-authors of the article and editor of the journal , did not participate in the evaluation . The publisher Elsevier then announced an additional independent evaluation to determine whether the concerns about the article were well founded . On May 5 , 2021 , the French association Citizen4Science made of scientists and citizens , published a press release including a link to a petition denouncing the harassment of scientists and defenders of science integrity , specifically mentioning Elisabeth Bik and calling on the French authorities to intervene and journalists to look into the matter . The included petition was signed by thousands of citizens throughout the world . On May 22 , 2021 , The Guardian reported that Raoult began legal proceedings against Bik by filing a case with the French state prosecutor . As a result , Lonni Besançon , a French postdoctoral research fellow at Monash University , Australia drafted an open letter in support of Bik and also post‑publication peer review . Within four days , the letter had attracted 500signatories and currently counts more than 1000 . Awards . In November 2020 Bik was awarded the Peter Wildy Prize by the Microbiology Society for communication of microbiology in education and to the public . External links . - Microbiome Digest blog

Elisabeth Bik Elisabeth Margaretha Harbers-Bik ( born 1966 ) is a Dutch microbiologist and scientific integrity consultant . Bik is known for her work detecting photo manipulation in scientific publications , and identifying over 4,000 potential cases of improper research conduct , including 400 research papers published by authors in China from a paper mill company . Bik is the founder of Microbiome Digest , a blog with daily updates on microbiome research , and the Science Integrity Digest blog . Early life and education . Bik is born in the Netherlands . She attended Utrecht University majoring in biology , and continued there for her doctorate . Her dissertation was about developing vaccines for new classes of Vibrio cholerae involved in cholera epidemics across India and Bangladesh . She conducted her doctorate and her postdoctoral studies at the molecular microbiology department in the National Institute of Health and the Environment in Bilthoven . Career . Public sector . After receiving her Ph.D. , Bik worked for the Netherlands National Institute for Public Health and the Environment and St . Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein , where she organized the development of new molecular techniques for identifying infectious agents . Academia . In 2001 , Bik moved to California to work at Stanford University in the laboratory of David Relman , where her work focused on human microbiomes , previously unidentified microbial species in them , and their diversity across individuals . Her work explored other mucosal microbiomes , confirming that the human oral microbiota contains distinct genera from the gut microbiota . While at Stanford , Bik worked on an Office of Naval Research project to study the microbiome of dolphins and sea lions in San Diego . She found that their microbiome was distinct from other mammals , and influenced by the sea they lived in . Private sector . In 2016 , Bik left Stanford to work for uBiome , a biotech company involved in the sequencing of human microbiomes , before leaving the company in 2018 to work full-time on analyzing scientific papers for image duplication and other malpractices .

Who was the owner of Gardermoen Line between Feb 1999 and Jul 1999?
|
Gardermoen Line The Gardermoen Line ( ) is a high-speed railway line between Oslo and Eidsvoll , Norway , running past Lillestrøm and Oslo Airport , Gardermoen . The line is long and replaced the older Hoved Line as the main line north-east of Oslo . The older Hoved Line now handles commuter and freight traffic , while the Gardermoen Line handles high-speed passenger trains and freight trains laden with jet fuel for the airport . Both lines are owned by Bane NOR . The line was opened in 1998 , at the same time as the airport that gave the line its name . It is used by the Flytoget airport express train service as well as express trains by Vy . It is the only high-speed railway in the kingdom , with a maximum permitted speed of . Most of the line between Oslo and Lillestrøm is through the Romeriksporten tunnel—the longest railway tunnel in Norway . The decision to build the line was made in 1992 ; construction started two years later . The line was subjected to severe criticism during construction when the Romerike Tunnel sprung severe leaks due to hurried construction . As a result , the tunnel was opened a year after the rest of the line . History . When the Parliament of Norway decided on 8 October 1992 to build a new central airport for Eastern Norway , they also decided that the main mode of ground transport to the airport should be by railway . While the previous airport , Oslo Airport , Fornebu , was located just outside the city limits ; the new Oslo Airport , Gardermoen , would be located some 50 kilometers north of the city , outside the reach of the existing public transport systems . The political agreement to build the airport stated that the costs of construction should not be borne by the tax payers . As a result , the entire airport was financed with money borrowed through Oslo Lufthavn AS , a subsidiary of the Norwegian Airport Administration . The same principle was chosen for the airport rail link . The Norwegian State Railways ( NSB ) created the subsidiary , NSB Gardermobanen AS , on 24 November 1992 to perform the construction of the line . This company would be able to charge train operators using the railway line ; and could use this income to cover its down payments and interest on the debt created to pay for the infrastructure investment . It was planned to give a profit margin of 7.5% . In 1996 NSB Gardermoen stated that they expected to charge commuter and intercity trains 100 million Norwegian krone per year to use the new line . County politicians in Akershus stated that it was not reasonable for commuters to have to pay for the new railway . Early estimates showed that this would almost double to price from Oslo to Eidsvoll , and that passengers would have different prices , depending on which route they followed . Stor-Oslo Lokaltrafikk , which was responsible for buses in Akershus , stated that they had no way to influence NSBs prices , but that they would consider starting a coach service along the route , which would not charge the surcharge . Construction . Construction of the railway started on 1 August 1994 . Gardermoen is located about north of Oslo , but is not located on the Hoved Line . A different right-of-way had to be chosen north of Kløfta . The Hoved Line has heavy traffic , with many small stops until Lillestrøm , and continues northwards from Lillestrøm as single track . Therefore , an all-new railway would have to be built ; it would bypass the intermediate railway until Lillestrøm , running through a tunnel , and continue northwards to the airport and onwards to Eidsvoll . This northernmost part is used to allow trains operating on the Dovre Line to Lillehammer and Trondheim to use the Gardermoen Line . The Gardermoen Line was the second attempt to build a high-speed railway in Norway . The first was the line from Ski to Moss on the Østfold Line . However , operational speeds in excess of could not be achieved due to the short distances and limitations on rolling stock . The Gardermoen Line , therefore , became the first real high-speed railway line in Norway . Due to the domination of single track in Norway , the Gardermoen Line increased the total length of double track in the kingdom by more than 50% . The projected costs of the railway line were NOK 4.3 billion ±20% . Total costs ended at NOK 7.7 billion , including 1.3 billion extra used on extraordinary expenditures on the Romeriksporten . On 1 October 1996 it was decided that the construction company , NSB Gardermobanen , would also become the operator of the airport express train . However , due to limited profitability with the company , from 1 January 2001 the ownership of Gardermobanen was transferred to the Norwegian National Rail Administration , who also owns the rest of railway lines in Norway . The operating company changed its name to Flytoget AS . Construction challenges . The most challenging part of the construction was the railway tunnel from Etterstad , just east of Oslo S , to Lillestrøm . Romeriksporten is the longest railway tunnel in Norway , and is underneath the recreational area Østmarka , in geologically highly unstable ground . During the construction in 1997 , the water level in some of the lakes above the tunnel , including Lutvann and Nordre Puttjern , fell dramatically . After they were discovered on 3 February 1997 sanctions were initiated by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate requiring leakage prevention measures in the tunnel . At the worst , 3,000 liters of water per minute leaked into the tunnel . The substance Rhoca-Gil was used to fix the leakages , but the substance failed to work properly . Not only did it fail to polymerize and stop the leaks , it also contaminated the surroundings with acrylamide . The entire process of fixing the leak and cleaning up the toxicity delayed the process of building the tunnel by one year ; and it was first opened on 22 August 1999 . Further complications arose due to conflicts between NSB Gardermobanen and the construction company . Retrospective surveys showed a lack of control and reporting procedures during incidents that should have been addressed in 1995 , and were never taken seriously . About sixty houses received damage due to the construction of the tunnel . An evaluation performed by the Ministry of Transport and Communications showed that NOK 500 million was used on fixing the leaks ; however , the report claimed this was , to a large extent , a waste of money due to inefficient engineering procedures . The same report criticized the planning and organization of the entire construction of the railway . Opening . When the new airport opened on 8 October 1998 , and the Flytoget airport express train service started operations with sixteen Type 71 multiple units . Trains had to use the old Hoved Line from Oslo S to Lillestrøm , but could use the new high-speed line from Lillestrøm to Gardermoen . Regular operations using Romeriksporten started on 22 August 1999 . To be able to use the new Gardermoen Line infrastructure , Norges Statsbaner had to buy new trains capable of higher speeds . Twenty-two locomotive designated El 18 , based on the Swiss lok 2000 , where delivered in 1996 . They are capable of speeds of up to . However , the B7 passenger carriages used are not permitted to operate at more than . Full speed utilization of long-distance trains is only possible with the Type 73 units that started operation on the Dovre Line in 2000 . These trains are nearly identical to those used by the Flytoget airport express train company , and capable of on the Gardermoen Line . They are equipped with tilting technology allowing quicker operation on the rest of the line to Trondheim . Other trains used on the line by NSB are only capable of . Future expansion . Plans for an expansion of the high-speed line to Hamar have been launched , but have not been incorporated into any specific plans . This suggestion would increase the length of the high-speed rail north of Oslo with —almost a doubling . The project may or may not incorporate a further high-speed line to Trondheim . Operations . The railway is used by both Vy , Flytoget and SJ for their passenger services , as well as freight trains with jet fuel for the airport . Airport express train . The Flytoget airport express train service is the largest user of the Gardermoen Line , with six departures from Oslo Central to Oslo Airport per hour . The trains only use the line as far as Gardermoen , and not the northernmost sixteen kilometers . Service is provided using sixteen Type 71 three-car units , which together transported 5.4 million passengers in 2007 . Direct services to Oslo S take 19 minutes . Half of the services make an intermediate stop at Lillestrøm , and continue on past Oslo Central to Asker Station . Flytoget has a 34% market share on ground transport to Oslo Airport . Vy . Vy ( formerly NSB ) uses Gardermobanen for express and some regional trains north of Oslo . This includes five daily departures to Trondheim ( including one NSB Night Train ) . The line is operated by two regional services , the R10 service between Drammen and Lillehammer , the R11 service between Skien/Larvik and Eidsvoll , as well as the local service , L12 between Kongsberg and Eidsvoll . These services is carried out with Type 74 for R10 and R11 , and Type 75 for line L12 . Both trains are capable of 200 km/t operation . The southernmost part of the line is used by commuter trains heading to the Kongsvinger Line . These trains divert from the Gardermo Line at Lillestrøm . Also the commuter trains operating to Dal along the Hoved Line use the Gardermoen Line until Lillestrøm . Other services . Because there is a parallel line , the Hoved Line running all the way from Oslo S to Eidsvoll , some trains can choose to use this line instead . This is primarily done by some commuter trains , as well as all freight trains . The only exception to this are trains hauling jet fuel to the airport , who have to use the Gardermoen Line from Kløfta . This service is provided by CargoNet . The Swedish state railways , SJ also operate on the southern part of Gardermoen on their intercity services X 2000 . This was for some years provided by Linx , a joint venture between SJ and NSB , using X2 stock , but the company was later dissolved .

The Gardermoen Line , therefore , became the first real high-speed railway line in Norway . Due to the domination of single track in Norway , the Gardermoen Line increased the total length of double track in the kingdom by more than 50% . The projected costs of the railway line were NOK 4.3 billion ±20% . Total costs ended at NOK 7.7 billion , including 1.3 billion extra used on extraordinary expenditures on the Romeriksporten . On 1 October 1996 it was decided that the construction company , NSB Gardermobanen , would also become the operator of the airport express train . However , due to limited profitability with the company , from 1 January 2001 the ownership of Gardermobanen was transferred to the Norwegian National Rail Administration , who also owns the rest of railway lines in Norway . The operating company changed its name to Flytoget AS . Construction challenges . The most challenging part of the construction was the railway tunnel from Etterstad , just east of Oslo S , to Lillestrøm . Romeriksporten is the longest railway tunnel in Norway , and is underneath the recreational area Østmarka , in geologically highly unstable ground . During the construction in 1997 , the water level in some of the lakes above the tunnel , including Lutvann and Nordre Puttjern , fell dramatically . After they were discovered on 3 February 1997 sanctions were initiated by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate requiring leakage prevention measures in the tunnel . At the worst , 3,000 liters of water per minute leaked into the tunnel . The substance Rhoca-Gil was used to fix the leakages , but the substance failed to work properly . Not only did it fail to polymerize and stop the leaks , it also contaminated the surroundings with acrylamide . The entire process of fixing the leak and cleaning up the toxicity delayed the process of building the tunnel by one year ; and it was first opened on 22 August 1999 . Further complications arose due to conflicts between NSB Gardermobanen and the construction company . Retrospective surveys showed a lack of control and reporting procedures during incidents that should have been addressed in 1995 , and were never taken seriously . About sixty houses received damage due to the construction of the tunnel . An evaluation performed by the Ministry of Transport and Communications showed that NOK 500 million was used on fixing the leaks ; however , the report claimed this was , to a large extent , a waste of money due to inefficient engineering procedures . The same report criticized the planning and organization of the entire construction of the railway . Opening . When the new airport opened on 8 October 1998 , and the Flytoget airport express train service started operations with sixteen Type 71 multiple units . Trains had to use the old Hoved Line from Oslo S to Lillestrøm , but could use the new high-speed line from Lillestrøm to Gardermoen . Regular operations using Romeriksporten started on 22 August 1999 . To be able to use the new Gardermoen Line infrastructure , Norges Statsbaner had to buy new trains capable of higher speeds . Twenty-two locomotive designated El 18 , based on the Swiss lok 2000 , where delivered in 1996 . They are capable of speeds of up to . However , the B7 passenger carriages used are not permitted to operate at more than . Full speed utilization of long-distance trains is only possible with the Type 73 units that started operation on the Dovre Line in 2000 . These trains are nearly identical to those used by the Flytoget airport express train company , and capable of on the Gardermoen Line . They are equipped with tilting technology allowing quicker operation on the rest of the line to Trondheim . Other trains used on the line by NSB are only capable of . Future expansion . Plans for an expansion of the high-speed line to Hamar have been launched , but have not been incorporated into any specific plans . This suggestion would increase the length of the high-speed rail north of Oslo with —almost a doubling . The project may or may not incorporate a further high-speed line to Trondheim . Operations . The railway is used by both Vy , Flytoget and SJ for their passenger services , as well as freight trains with jet fuel for the airport . Airport express train . The Flytoget airport express train service is the largest user of the Gardermoen Line , with six departures from Oslo Central to Oslo Airport per hour . The trains only use the line as far as Gardermoen , and not the northernmost sixteen kilometers . Service is provided using sixteen Type 71 three-car units , which together transported 5.4 million passengers in 2007 . Direct services to Oslo S take 19 minutes . Half of the services make an intermediate stop at Lillestrøm , and continue on past Oslo Central to Asker Station . Flytoget has a 34% market share on ground transport to Oslo Airport . Vy . Vy ( formerly NSB ) uses Gardermobanen for express and some regional trains north of Oslo . This includes five daily departures to Trondheim ( including one NSB Night Train ) . The line is operated by two regional services , the R10 service between Drammen and Lillehammer , the R11 service between Skien/Larvik and Eidsvoll , as well as the local service , L12 between Kongsberg and Eidsvoll . These services is carried out with Type 74 for R10 and R11 , and Type 75 for line L12 . Both trains are capable of 200 km/t operation . The southernmost part of the line is used by commuter trains heading to the Kongsvinger Line . These trains divert from the Gardermo Line at Lillestrøm . Also the commuter trains operating to Dal along the Hoved Line use the Gardermoen Line until Lillestrøm . Other services . Because there is a parallel line , the Hoved Line running all the way from Oslo S to Eidsvoll , some trains can choose to use this line instead . This is primarily done by some commuter trains , as well as all freight trains . The only exception to this are trains hauling jet fuel to the airport , who have to use the Gardermoen Line from Kløfta . This service is provided by CargoNet . The Swedish state railways , SJ also operate on the southern part of Gardermoen on their intercity services X 2000 . This was for some years provided by Linx , a joint venture between SJ and NSB , using X2 stock , but the company was later dissolved .

Gardermoen Line The Gardermoen Line ( ) is a high-speed railway line between Oslo and Eidsvoll , Norway , running past Lillestrøm and Oslo Airport , Gardermoen . The line is long and replaced the older Hoved Line as the main line north-east of Oslo . The older Hoved Line now handles commuter and freight traffic , while the Gardermoen Line handles high-speed passenger trains and freight trains laden with jet fuel for the airport . Both lines are owned by Bane NOR . The line was opened in 1998 , at the same time as the airport that gave the line its name .

Which team did John White (footballer, born 1937) play for between Feb 1957 and Apr 1957?
|
John White ( footballer , born 1937 ) John Anderson White ( 28 April 1937 – 21 July 1964 ) was a Scottish international football midfielder and sometime inside right who played a significant role for Tottenham Hotspur ( Spurs ) during their Double winning season in 1960–61 . He had two brothers , Eddie and Tom , who were also professional footballers . White was killed by a lightning strike at the age of 27 . Alloa Athletic . White first played at senior level for Alloa Athletic under the management of Jasper Jerry Kerr . He debuted in the 1956/57 season . Kerr paired White in an effective inside forward combination with Dennis Gillespie . In the 68 league appearances White made for The Wasps , he scored 26 goals . The John White Lounge is still a feature at the Clackmannanshire clubs ground . Falkirk . He was bought by Falkirk in August 1958 for £3,300 . Alex Parker and Eddie OHara had been jointly sold to Everton the June before giving Falkirk a cash injection of £18,000 . Among others at Falkirk , White played alongside Doug Moran . In Whites 30 Falkirk league appearances he scored 11 goals . His stay there was relatively short , moving to England early in his second season . White made his Scotland debut when he was at Falkirk . He scored in the first minute of his international debut , a 3–2 win against West Germany on 6 May 1959 at Hampden Park . He gained four full caps when at Falkirk playing in the first and last of those four games alongside Dave Mackay . The fourth game was against a Northern Ireland team in Belfast featuring Danny Blanchflower on 3 October 1959 . White scored his second international goal in a 4–0 win for the Scots . Tottenham Hotspur . Whites frail appearance had been the cause of considerable concern resulting in a number of English First Division clubs choosing not to risk his signing . However , following reviews received from Mackay and now also Blanchflower , Bill Nicholson signed White for Tottenham Hotspur in the same October as Whites international goal against Northern Ireland . Nicholson had also sought reference from the Army and been advised White was a celebrated cross-country runner . White cost £22,000 . At Spurs , White initially occupied the inside-left position , having been bought by Nicholson to replace Dave Dunmore , but his talent flourished as an inside right as a replacement to Tommy Harmer . He scored on his debut in October 1959 , in a 2-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough . Whites worth to the team could be calculated in terms of goals scored ( between 1959 and the conclusion of the Double winning season ( a season in which he was ever-present ) he contributed 18 goals ) but his success mainly lay in a combination of skills : his passing , his ball control which helped sustain the attacking momentum but so too his runs to find space off the ball , arriving unexpectedly in the oppositions penalty area which resulted in the White Hart Lane faithful giving him the nickname The Ghost . With him Tottenham never finished worse than 4th in the First Division and in the 15 matches missed by White while on their books , Tottenham won only once . Spurs lost against Benfica in the 1961–62 European Cup semi-final , however in the following season White was part of the successful campaign that saw Tottenham become the first English winners of a European trophy when they won the 1963 European Cup Winners Cup Final . They beat Atlético Madrid by five goals to one in Rotterdam with White scoring Spurs second . They had beaten Whites Scottish former opponents , Rangers , home and away in the first round . Cliff Jones , his Tottenham teammate , said of him : He was a great talent . People ask me what he was like . I say that he was like Glenn Hoddle . But he was different to Glenn in some ways . Glenn was someone who you had to bring into a game , whereas John White would bring himself into a game . If youre not in possession , get in position , that was John White . He was always available if you needed to pass to someone . Death and testimonial . White was killed by a lightning strike at the age of 27 while sheltering under a tree during a thunderstorm at Crews Hill golf course , Enfield on 21 July 1964 . He left a 22-year-old widow , Sandra , daughter of Spurs assistant manager Harry Evans , whom he married in 1961 , and two children . Whites testimonial was staged later in the year he died , on 10 November 1964 , at White Hart Lane , when a Tottenham XI faced a Scotland XI . Whites younger brother Tom , played for Tottenham in this match , scoring the first goal of the game from a pass from Jimmy Greaves . Whites portrait has been erected in the entrance to the Scottish Football Hall of Fame . His son Rob has no memory of his father , as he was only six months old when he died , and his older sister Mandy was only two at the time . White also had a son , Stephen , from his first marriage to Helen McLean ; however , he and his first wife separated within weeks of their marriage and he never saw his first-born son , who did not discover the identity of his real father until he was a teenager .

Which team did John White (footballer, born 1937) play for after Dec 1960?
|
John White ( footballer , born 1937 ) John Anderson White ( 28 April 1937 – 21 July 1964 ) was a Scottish international football midfielder and sometime inside right who played a significant role for Tottenham Hotspur ( Spurs ) during their Double winning season in 1960–61 . He had two brothers , Eddie and Tom , who were also professional footballers . White was killed by a lightning strike at the age of 27 . Alloa Athletic . White first played at senior level for Alloa Athletic under the management of Jasper Jerry Kerr . He debuted in the 1956/57 season . Kerr paired White in an effective inside forward combination with Dennis Gillespie . In the 68 league appearances White made for The Wasps , he scored 26 goals . The John White Lounge is still a feature at the Clackmannanshire clubs ground . Falkirk . He was bought by Falkirk in August 1958 for £3,300 . Alex Parker and Eddie OHara had been jointly sold to Everton the June before giving Falkirk a cash injection of £18,000 . Among others at Falkirk , White played alongside Doug Moran . In Whites 30 Falkirk league appearances he scored 11 goals . His stay there was relatively short , moving to England early in his second season . White made his Scotland debut when he was at Falkirk . He scored in the first minute of his international debut , a 3–2 win against West Germany on 6 May 1959 at Hampden Park . He gained four full caps when at Falkirk playing in the first and last of those four games alongside Dave Mackay . The fourth game was against a Northern Ireland team in Belfast featuring Danny Blanchflower on 3 October 1959 . White scored his second international goal in a 4–0 win for the Scots . Tottenham Hotspur . Whites frail appearance had been the cause of considerable concern resulting in a number of English First Division clubs choosing not to risk his signing . However , following reviews received from Mackay and now also Blanchflower , Bill Nicholson signed White for Tottenham Hotspur in the same October as Whites international goal against Northern Ireland . Nicholson had also sought reference from the Army and been advised White was a celebrated cross-country runner . White cost £22,000 . At Spurs , White initially occupied the inside-left position , having been bought by Nicholson to replace Dave Dunmore , but his talent flourished as an inside right as a replacement to Tommy Harmer . He scored on his debut in October 1959 , in a 2-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough . Whites worth to the team could be calculated in terms of goals scored ( between 1959 and the conclusion of the Double winning season ( a season in which he was ever-present ) he contributed 18 goals ) but his success mainly lay in a combination of skills : his passing , his ball control which helped sustain the attacking momentum but so too his runs to find space off the ball , arriving unexpectedly in the oppositions penalty area which resulted in the White Hart Lane faithful giving him the nickname The Ghost . With him Tottenham never finished worse than 4th in the First Division and in the 15 matches missed by White while on their books , Tottenham won only once . Spurs lost against Benfica in the 1961–62 European Cup semi-final , however in the following season White was part of the successful campaign that saw Tottenham become the first English winners of a European trophy when they won the 1963 European Cup Winners Cup Final . They beat Atlético Madrid by five goals to one in Rotterdam with White scoring Spurs second . They had beaten Whites Scottish former opponents , Rangers , home and away in the first round . Cliff Jones , his Tottenham teammate , said of him : He was a great talent . People ask me what he was like . I say that he was like Glenn Hoddle . But he was different to Glenn in some ways . Glenn was someone who you had to bring into a game , whereas John White would bring himself into a game . If youre not in possession , get in position , that was John White . He was always available if you needed to pass to someone . Death and testimonial . White was killed by a lightning strike at the age of 27 while sheltering under a tree during a thunderstorm at Crews Hill golf course , Enfield on 21 July 1964 . He left a 22-year-old widow , Sandra , daughter of Spurs assistant manager Harry Evans , whom he married in 1961 , and two children . Whites testimonial was staged later in the year he died , on 10 November 1964 , at White Hart Lane , when a Tottenham XI faced a Scotland XI . Whites younger brother Tom , played for Tottenham in this match , scoring the first goal of the game from a pass from Jimmy Greaves . Whites portrait has been erected in the entrance to the Scottish Football Hall of Fame . His son Rob has no memory of his father , as he was only six months old when he died , and his older sister Mandy was only two at the time . White also had a son , Stephen , from his first marriage to Helen McLean ; however , he and his first wife separated within weeks of their marriage and he never saw his first-born son , who did not discover the identity of his real father until he was a teenager .
