David "Junior" Hoilett is a Canadian footballer who plays for Queens Park Rangers as a winger. Hoilett was born in Brampton, Ontario, and part of the Blackburn Rovers academy since the age of 13. He was initially unable to obtain a work permit whilst in England. As a result, Blackburn loaned him to German clubs SC Paderborn 07 and St Pauli to help the player earn one in the future. Hoilett made 12 appearances for Paderborn scoring one goal against Borussia Monchengladbach on his final appearance at the age of 17 in the 2007-2008 season. The following season he made 21 appearances for St Pauli scoring six goals although still a Blackburn player. In the summer of 2009, Hoilett was granted a work permit after Blackburn applied for him to play football in England. Hoilett broke into the Blackburn first team in the 2009-2010 season and scored his first competitive goal for Rovers came in a 3-1 League Cup win at Gillingham in August 2009. Hoilett had to wait until January 2011 to score his first league goal though. It came in a 2-0 home victory versus West Bromwich Albion at Ewood Park from a Nikola Kalinic assist. He went on to make 92 appearances for the club and score 14 goals. After refusing a contract renewal with Blackburn Rovers after their relegation, Hoilett joined Queens Park Rangers on 27 July 2012 for a fee decided by tribunal. He signed a four-year contract and scored his first goal for QPR in a 3-2 League Cup loss to Reading on 26 September 2012. Canada Hoilett is eligible to play for Canada or Jamaica at international level. In February 2011, he rejected a call-up from the Canadian national team stating that he wanted more time to develop his club career before committing to international football. In January 2012, the Jamaica Football Federation President Horace Burrell confirmed that he had approached the player's father about Hoilett representing Jamaica. In March 2012, Hoilett told various media bodies that he would consider playing for the England national football team if eligible.
In the year it completes its 40-year anniversary since its premiere on
the big screen, Iron Studios proudly presents their statue "E.T. - ET -
MiniCo", a tribute to fans and to the movie masterpiece. With his
expressive big blue eyes and a smile filled with gentleness, the small
and lovely visitor from another world holds in his left hand a
flowerpot, something special for him as an alien botanist, while he
gestures with his right hand’s big fingers, using his telepathic
abilities to revive the flowers just like in the movie scene that made
him loved and known in the entire world.

when he befriends a ten-years-old boy named Elliott. E.T. was part of
an expedition of a group of alien botanists, that secretly visited
earth to collect specimens from a forest in California, but accidently
ends up being left behind by his colleagues that flee in their
spaceship, being exiled on the planet as a result. Lost, he’s found by
Elliot, a boy that finds him hidden in his tool shed. They both create
a great friendship connection, and Elliot starts protecting him in
every way possible, to prevent him for being captured and turned into a
test subject and to help him contact his species and return to his
planet.
Demba Ba signed on 4 January 2013 for CHELSEA FC for an undisclosed fee. The Senegal international moved to Stamford Bridge following an 18-month spell with Newcastle United, and signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Blues. He was eligible to play in the FA Cup and Capital One Cup in his first season here, but could not play for us in the Europa League having appeared in the competition for Newcastle. The 27-year-old enjoyed a memorable time on Tyneside, where his ruthlessness in front of goal played a major part in last season's fifth-place league finish. Most comfortable playing as a lone striker, Ba's predatory instincts in and around the penalty area make him a difficult player to handle and he also possesses the ability to score spectacular goals. Born in Sevres, in the suburbs of Paris, Ba's career began at Port Autonome du Havre, where he played for two years between 1998 and 2000, before moving to Frileuse. After a short spell with the French club, Ba, who started out playing in the centre of midfield but moved up front at the age of 18, transferred to Montrouge in 2001. It was there he began to make a name for himself, and he then headed to England where he was offered trials with Barnsley and Watford. Having enjoyed a fruitful relationship with former Chelsea player Ray Lewington, who was Watford manager at the time, it looked as though Ba had found a place to settle. However, when Lewington left soon after, Ba moved back to France where he signed a one-year deal with Rouen in the Third Division. A return of seven goals in 32 matches earned him a move to Mouscron, in the Belgian top flight, where an impressive albeit short spell paved the way for his transfer to 1899 Hoffenheim in the German Second Division at the beginning of the 2007/08 campaign. It was to prove a significant time in Ba's development, and he was a key figure in helping the club gain promotion to the Bundesliga. Their first season back in the top flight saw Hoffenheim finish in a respectable seventh, aided in no small part by Ba's 14 goals. In January 2011, he was back in England, and signed for West Ham United. After making his bow for the Hammers as a substitute in a game against Birmingham City, Ba endeared himself to the supporters a week later on his full debut, where his two goals helped West Ham fight back from 3-0 down to earn a 3-3 draw away at West Bromwich Albion. On a personal level, his time at Upton Park went well, with seven goals in 12 appearances, but collectively the team underperformed resulting in their relegation from the Barclays Premier League, prompting Ba's move to Newcastle United. He netted two hat-tricks in quick succession, against Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City, at the beginning of the 2011/12 season. This impressive start to life at St James's Park was rewarded with the Premier League Player of the Month award in December 2011, and he finished the season as the club's top scorer with 16 goals to his name. The 2012/13 campaign saw Ba continue where he left off, as he broke the deadlock with a fantastic volley against Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day of the season, while shortly after his brace at Goodison Park helped Alan Pardew's men secure a well-earned 2-2 draw against Everton. His last performance in a Newcastle shirt came in their final game of 2012, a 7-3 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates where he netted a brace. Ba has established himself as a regular in the Senegal international set-up since scoring on his debut back in 2007 in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania. He is the first Senegalese player to join Chelsea. Ba made his Chelsea debut in an FA Cup third round tie away at Southampton, and it proved an introduction to remember as he scored twice in a 5-1 win for the Blues. He scored his first home goal for the club 11 days later in a Premier League game against the same opposition, opening the scoring in a 2-2 draw. Ba suffered a broken nose on his return to St James' Park as the Blues fell to a 3-2 defeat in February.

Fabio Alexandre da Silva Coentrao is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Real Madrid in Spain, and the Portuguese national team. Mainly a left back, he can also operate as a left winger, and occasionally as a central midfielder. Real Madrid On 5 July 2011, after extensive negotiations, Benfica and Real Madrid reached an agreement in principle over the transfer of Coentrao, who signed a six-year contract the same day, for 30m. Central defender Ezequiel Garay went in the other direction as part of the deal. Coentrao made his Real Madrid debut in a pre-season friendly against L.A. Galaxy on 16 July 2011, creating an assist for Karim Benzema and also receiving Man of the match honours. His first two official games were against FC Barcelona for the season's Spanish Supercup: in the first leg, he replaced Sami Khedira in the second half of a 2-2 home draw and played as a central midfielder, and he started as left-back in the second match, a 2-3 loss at the Camp Nou. Coentrao made his La Liga debut on 28 August 2011 against former club Zaragoza, appearing as a central midfielder in a 6-0 away win (90 minutes played). While he played mostly in these positions, he was also deployed by manager Jose Mourinho as a right defender, against Sporting de Gijon on 3 December and against Barcelona the following week. Fabio Coentrao is one of the best left backs in the current football scene thanks to his solid game in attack, excellent dribbling skills, powerful shot and varsatility, which allows him to play anywhere down the wings. He is very experienced despite his young age. The first important team he played for was Rio Ave, with whom he made his First Division debut when he was just 16. His excellent performances caught Benfica's attention, who decided to sign him in 2007 and loaned him out to Nacional, notching 16 appearances and 4 goals. Coentrao returned to Rio Ave after a brief spell with Spanish side Zaragoza. His good run in the 2008/09 campaign secured his return to Benfica, with whom he truly blossomed and won his first titles, such as the 2009/10 edition of the league and the 2010/11 Cup of Portugal. Coentrao first played for his country on the youth national teams, making his first team debut in 2009 against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
