On 1st April 2011, there was shock when The Sun newspaper reported that Alex Ferguson had agreed to become Life President of the Referees' Association. Fergie never had an easy relationship with match officials but the Manchester United manager was reported to have accepted the role in an effort to end his long-running feud with the officials. Under the terms of his appointment, he promised to serve as an ambassador for all referees and their assistants and would try not to criticise their performances after matches. Then the date was noticed!
In 1927 International footballer Ferenc Puskás was born 97 years ago on this day. He played 89 matches for Hungary and Spain national teams and scored 84 goals. He was also a national team manager. Date of his death: November 17, 2006.
On 1 March 2013, stadium owners, King Power, purchased the stadium through their company K Power Holdings Co, Ltd. The stadium is now known as the King Power.
