Football On This Day – 9th May 1951
England played their first international against foreign opposition at Wembley, beating Argentina 2-1 in front of 99,000 fans. Since 1924 England had only played Scotland at Wembley. The match kicked off at 3 o'clock on a Wednesday afternoon - it would be another 4 years before floodlights were installed at the national stadium.

Football On This Day – 9th May 1961

Although Liverpool lost the Liverpool Senior Cup final 3-4 against Everton at Goodison Park St John scored all 3 Liverpool goals in front of an amazing 51,669 crow

Southampton%20v%20Arsenal%202000-01%20programme.%20Last%20match%20at%20the%20Dell.jpgFootball On This Day – 19th May 2001
The word most often used to describe Southampton's former home at the Dell was 'cramped' and a cramped capacity crowd of 15,252 saw a dramatic and memorable end to their 103 years at the ground. In the last competitive match at the Dell Arsenal were the visitors for a Premier League fixture with the Gunners twice taking the lead. Hassan Kachloul equalised twice for the Saints before 32-year-old Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier came on as a sub and scored an 89th-minute winner. Amazing! A week later Southampton entertained Brighton in a friendly for the very last match at the ground - Brighton United had been Southampton's first opponents at the Dell on 3rd September 1898.

Football On This Day – 19th May 2013
After 27 years as manager Alex Ferguson took charge of Manchester United for the last time in the League. He saw his side let in 5 goals at WBA – they drew 5-5, the first time that scoreline had been recorded in the Premier League. United finished the season as champions of the Premier League, a full 11 points clear of second-placed Manchester City.

Roma win the Scudetto in 2001.

(Although Channel 4 cut the feed early, so never did see the end of the game...)

Cafu, Walter Samuel, Tommasi, Totti, Montella and Batistuta

What a team!

28th September

Football On This Day – 28th September 1892
An early kick off in a First Preliminary Round FA Cup between Burton Swifts, in Division 2 of the Football League, and non-leaguers Singers of Coventry – 8 o’clock in the morning!           

Football On This Day – 28th September 2004
18-year-old Wayne Rooney made a spectacular debut for Manchester United hitting a hat-trick in United’s 6-2 Champions League victory over Fenerbahçe at Old Trafford. It was the first hat-trick Rooney had scored in his professional career. It proved the perfect start to an amazingly successful career at Old Trafford. By the time he returned to Everton in July 2017 he had broken Bobby Charlton's club goalscoring record with 253 goals in 559 first team competitive appearances and had picked up winners medals in the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, Europa League, FIFA World Club Cup as well as the Community Shield. Not bad!
