While Gagliano was starring at Howell (he would graduate as the school’s all-time winningest wrestler with 79 wins), Bauer knew the young wrestler was destined to be a coach.
“He was always a student of the game, always wanted to learn,” he recalled.

2. PADDY FAGAN will be at Eastlands on Tuesday, as he is for every Manchester City home game. And as the anticipation builds before the latest derby (a Carling Cup semi-final first leg), his mind may drift back almost 55 years to a February afternoon at Old Trafford when he became a City legend.
Fagan never played in an FA Cup final with a broken neck like Bert Trautmann, was never voted European Footballer of the Year like Denis Law. He didn’t win a title like Francis Lee or Mike Summerbee. But he’s a legend.
His memory isn’t as good as it once was but some things stay with him. Like being the first City player to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford.
‘I don’t hear about the three goals too much, suppose it’s a long time ago,’ Fagan, now 78, laughs in a broad Dublin accent that bears few traces of nearly 60 years of living in the north of England.
‘It’s nice to score one goal against your biggest rivals, so imagine getting three.’ In the 1954-55 season, United and City met as equals - as many argue they will do this Tuesday. Matt Busby was in the middle of creating his second great United side (his first, in the late 1940s, was led by Johnny Carey) while City boss Les McDowall had studied the great Hungary side of Ferenc Puskas and tried to recreate their methods at Maine Road. On occasion, it worked.
