On this day. 7.11.2005

...................

The Russian owner of Hearts of Midlothian (Edinburgh) appointed Graham Rix as manager. Graham Who? Who was just about to start as manager of semi-professional Crawley Town, a Div. 5 type team in south-east England (well south of the Danelaw).



It didn't work out.....

ON THIS DAY. Hodié.

''''''''''''''
1792 Les révolutionnaires fransais victorieux à Jemappes, Belgique contre les Autrichiens.

1986 Alex "Fergie" Ferguson takes the reins at Man. United. But it's not until 1990 that he wins silver, namely the FA Cup. He is still there, becoming more and more obsessively anti-referee.

In this year. 1983.

Mr Elias Mutumbe, the ace Kenyan forger, was jailed for 3 years after issuing a series of bank-notes bearing his own likeness.

Sur ce jour. 1999

England 0:0 Bulgaria.



Manager Glenn "Reincarnation" Hoddle.

On this day 1988

The death of Jackie Milburn, record holder for Newcastle Utd. with 200 goals.

The record stood until 2006, when Alan Shearer passed it (with 201 goals, for any Swedish reader).

Mr Tony Blair, the Christian multi-millionaire, and mad-keen N.U. fan, used to claim to well remember seeing Jackie play. He retired when he was 4 (i.e. Jacks retired when little Tony was 4.)

NU, currently in Division 2, have just paid £2 million to Kev Keegan, one of their numerous ex-managers.

On this day. 7 October 2000

England 0-1 Deutschland. World Cup qualifying.

Last game at the old Wembley. Manager Kevin Keegan resigns, admitting that he doesn't have what it takes.

Irony : when Kev played for SV Hamburg, he was extremely popular with fans and media and was known as King Kevin Keegan.
