John George "Tim" Coleman (26 October 1881 – 20 November 1940) was an English footballer.

Coleman was born in Kettering, Northamptonshire, and first played for local non-league sides, Kettering Town and then Northampton Town in 1901. He was signed by Second Division Woolwich Arsenal in the summer of 1902, and immediately became a regular goalscorer for the club.

Coleman made his debut against Preston North End on 6 September 1902, and in his first season was top scorer with 17 goals in 30 matches, as Arsenal finished third. The following season he broke his own record and scored 23 goals in 28 games, which along with strike partner Tommy Shanks' 25 goals, helped Arsenal to second spot and thus promotion to the First Division. Coleman found 1905-06, his first season at the top, tough going (he only scored five goals), but the following season he scored 15 in 34 matches. Coleman's season was topped with Arsenal reaching the FA Cup semi-finals (which they lost to Newcastle United), and his one and only cap for England, against Ireland on 16 February 1907.

Despite their success on the pitch, Woolwich Arsenal were suffering from financial difficulties, and willingly accepted a bid of £700 for Coleman from Everton in February 1908, near the end of the 1907-08 season. In total, Coleman had played 196 games for Arsenal, scoring 84 goals. Coleman was a regular during the two and a half seasons he spent at Goodison Park, helping the Toffees to runners-up spot in 1908-09, and scoring 30 goals in 71 league appearances. While at Everton, he was notable for being one the few players, along with most of the Manchester United side, to maintain their membership of the Players' Union (the forerunner of the Professional Footballers' Association), in defiance of Football Association rules. After a standoff, the FA backed down.

Coleman later had spells at Sunderland (1910–11), Fulham (1911–14) and Nottingham Forest (1914–15). With the advent of World War I and the suspension of first-class football, Coleman retired from the professional game, although he still played in non-league football, most notably for Tunbridge Wells Rangers, finally retiring in 1921. He later worked as a coach & manager for Maidstone Utd, and moved to the Netherlands. He died in November 1940, at the age of 59.

History[link]

2001–2004: Formation and early years[link]

The band Black Stone Cherry originated from Edmonton, Kentucky. Chris Robertson and John Fred Young, son of The Kentucky Headhunters's rhythm guitarist Richard Young, started to play music together early in their teens and Wells and Lawhon soon followed. Black Stone Cherry officially formed on June 4, 2001. They then took over the practice house that had been used by The Kentucky Headhunters since 1968 and began to record tracks. They also began holding shows at clubs in the area, and after a short while they gained a large following of people of all ages in the town.

[edit] 2005-2007: Black Stone Cherry

The band's first self titled album was released in May 2006. After the band finished recording, they returned to Edmonton, invited by Robertson's former school principal, for a homecoming gig in the gym of the local middle school, which was attended by 1500 people. As the band entered the town, the streets were filled with people holding "welcome home" signs.

In July 2007, they released a second recording, an EP containing the song "Rain Wizard" along with two previously unreleased tracks.

The first live album by Black Stone Cherry was released on October 31, 2007 immediately following the concert at the Astoria in London. They joined Def Leppard and Whitesnake in the summer of 2008 for European dates.

[edit] 2008–2009: Folklore and Superstition

On August 19, 2008 Black Stone Cherry released their second album, entitled Folklore and Superstition. Four singles from the album, "Blind Man," "Please Come In," "Things My Father Said," and "Soulcreek" have been released.

In May 2009, they supported Nickelback on their Dark Horse tour.

[edit] 2010–present: Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

On March 9, via Facebook, the band announced the title of the upcoming album to be Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea due to be released on May 31. The album was produced by Howard Benson. The first single is titled "White Trash Millionaire" and was released at the end of March. ^[1]

The band supported Alter Bridge alongside Theory of a Deadman on a tour of Europe lasting from October to November 2011.
