Buffer was born on November 2, 1944, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During World War II, his father served in the United States Navy.  Buffer's parents split when he was 11 months old, and he was reared in Roslyn, Pennsylvania, by foster parents who were a school bus driver and a homemaker. He entered in the United States Army at the age of 20 and served until he was 23 years old during the Vietnam War. He worked as a car salesperson before beginning a modelling career at the age of 32 and became a ring announcer at the age of 38. Buffer began his career as a ring announcer in 1982. By 1983, he was calling all of Bob Arum's Top Rank boxing contests on ESPN, giving him a national profile at a time when ring announcers were mostly hired locally. By 1984, Buffer's announcing had established the tagline "Let's get ready to rumble!" which had become extremely popular. In the 1980s, he began the process of securing a federal trademark for the term, which he eventual

Andrew Thomas Massey born October 20, 1961 was a midfielder for Millwall, Port Vale, Aldershot, Fisher Athletic, Bromley, and Erith & Belvedere. In a six-year career in the Football League, he scored 12 goals in 163 league appearances for Millwall, winning the FA Youth Cup and the Football League Group Cup. Massey began his career with Millwall, where he won the FA Youth Cup in 1979 after defeating Manchester City 2–0. Under the leadership of Peter Anderson , the "Lions" finished 16th in the Third Division in 1980–81 and ninth in 1981–82. Massey was a key player in Millwall's 3–2 triumph against Lincoln City in the 1983 League Group Cup final at Sincil Bank. New manager George Graham, on the other hand, didn't like him. In March 1984, he was sent on a month's loan to John Rudge's Port Vale.  In a 3–2 defeat to Rotherham United at Vale Park on April 2, he scored a goal in four Third Division appearances. He was engaged in a transfer deal after returning to

 On October 10, 1976, Canada defeated Mexico in a World Cup qualifying match in Vancouver's Empire Stadium. Les 'Buzz' Parsons headed in Bruce Wilson's free kick from the left wing in the 32nd minute. It didn't work out for Canada to make the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, but this victory was the first of many tight games between the two teams over the following five years that would follow. Has Canada ever defeated Mexico? It was a momentous night for Canadian soccer from the get-go. In allusion to Mexico's famed Estadio "Azteca," the stadium's name was changed to the Estadio "Iceteca" during kickoff because of the low temperature. Expectedly, the snow and freezing temperatures were the game's key themes, therefore they dominated. Hutchinson was then called up to the starting lineup, as well. As a consequence, he made his 90th appearance for the national team, breaking Julian de Guzman's all-time appearance record for a male playe

India men's national squash team has made it to three World Team Squash Championship quarter-finals since the tournament began in 1967. There are several top-ranked Indian squash players, including Dipika Pallikal Karthik, Joshna Chinnappa, and Saurav Ghosal, in the world's squash rankings. To her great credit, Dipika was the first Indian woman to crack the top ten official rankings in the sport in 2012. As of this year, Saurav is the top ranked Indian male tennis player. Saurav Ghosal, a man, is the current champ and  Joshna Chinappa, a woman, is the current national champion. Why is squash named squash? Rackets, a predecessor of squash, was popular in London's jails throughout the 19th century. A perforated ball, which "squashed" on collision with the wall, was discovered by Harrow School students in 1830. Another scho
