7th AND 8th OF THE 8th...a Centenary

 OK not the 8th but....on the 7th August in 1978, Manchester United played Real Madrid to celebrate their Centenary. The game played at Old Trafford attracted nearly 50,000 crowd and Sammy McIlroy and Jimmy Greenhoff scored a brace each. final score 4-0

 On the 8th 1987, The Football League celebrated its Centenary with a game against the Rest of the World winning 3-0 at Wembley. 61,000 turned up and South Yorkshire man, Keith Hackett, reffed.

And Dr Eva Caneiro, on this day in 2015, was belittled by our mate, Jose, as she was trying to do her job, treating Chelsea's injuries (actually Eden Hazard's) against Swansea. Needless to say things were not going well for Jose, so he found somebody to blame. Apparently he is a master (mistress) in deflection; he described her as "naive".  Hmmmm...

And finally on this day in 2006, Gary Taylor-Fletcher scored for Huddersfield Town FC in a Football League One match v Rotherham. It was the 500,000th goal in League history.
