February 8th 2000 was a busy day; a day that this head line hits the press when Inverness Caledonian Thistle beat mighty Celtic 3-1 in the Scottish Cup tie. The headline clearly taken from Mary Poppins "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" dum diddly dum diddly dum dum dum!John Barnes was sacked as manager of Celtic and Kenny Dalglish stepped in.
On the same day 2012 Fabio Capello resigned as England's manager over an incident involving John Terry and Anton Ferdinand.
Also in 2012, Southwark Crown Court cleared Harry Redknapp of tax evasion involving apparent secret tax bonuses paid to him while managing at Portsmouth. I think the idea was to put Harry in Fabio's place but it didn't quite work out like that!
In 2015, same day, Steve Harmison, a successful Test and Durham County cricketer was appointed boss of home, Ashington Town FC playing in the Northern League. He had played for them in younger years and was a fully committed Newcastle United fan. But his tenure didn't last long at Ashington-two years approximately.
