Corica leaves Auckland FC after leading club to title June 19 : Steve Corica, who led Auckland FC to the A-League championship in only their second season, is leaving the club to pursue an opportunity overseas, the team said on Friday. Corica guided Auckland to a first-place finish in the regular season in their inaugural 2024/2025 campaign before they lost in the semis of the Finals series. This season, they secured the A-League championship to become the first New Zealand team to win the Grand Final in the competition's 20-year history. "It has been a fantastic two years with a city, a fan group and a team that have all been way beyond my expectations," the 53-year-old said in statement. "I didn’t know quite what I was getting into when I joined two years ago, but what an experience it has been. "We started with nothing. Then year one we’re Premiers, winning the first piece of A-League silverware for any Kiwi club, and then year two we’re riding a bus down the middle of Queen Street parading the championship trophy."

The Esprit was a giant killer and, because it was on sale for an astonishing 27 years, one of the longest-lived classic British cars of all time. When launched to the public back in the scorching summer of 1976, the 140mph two-seater cost around £8,000, with the...
