BUNG, SHILTS, NO SAINT, FOG, SCOUT

21st November 1967 was a busy day for footballers including Peterborough United's boys. The Posh were told they were going to be relegated at the end of the season from Division 3 to Div 4 due to financial irregularities.
Illegal payments were made to beat Sunderland during an FA Cup tie the previous season. Posh lost 1-7 on the day.

On the same day in 1974, Peter Shilton signed for Stoke City for £325,000, a record for a GK at the time and he helped the Potters beat his old club, Leicester City, a week later 1-0 to go top of the First Division.
In the Stoke team were Pejic, Greenhoff, Hudson, Robertson and Hurst...an old boys' reunion.

Jimmy Greaves, another old boy in 1977, was 37 years old and he was playing for Barnet who were then a non-league club playing on the night in the Eastern Floodlight League. An incident involving a referee decision, irritated Greaves who used foul and abusive language in return and so the ref sent him off. Fair enough, but Greavsie refused to leave the pitch, so the ref abandoned the game! No floodlight failure this time, just a sense of humour failure.

On November 21st 1979, in a European Championship qualifier at Wembley, England played Bulgaria and the game was postponed due to heavy fog. It was played the next evening (22nd) without Kevin Keegan who had to fly back to Germany to play for Hamburg. England won 2-0 without KK, so Glen Hoddle stepped up to the mark and scored on his debut, as did Dave Watson. England's manager was Ron Greenwood and nearly 71,500 turned up. Team: Clemence, Anderson Thompson, Watson, Samson, Hoddle, Kennedy, Wilkins, Francis, Kevin Reeves?? and Woodcock.

Reeves played for Bournemouth, Norwich and mainly for Man City (scored a penalty in the FA Cup Final v Spurs in 1981), Burnley and played in two full internationals. He also made several apps for England's U18 and U21 teams and is Chief Scout at Everton.
