FROM BRANDO TO NISTELROOY

On July 28th in 1954, Marlon Brando starred in the film, "On the Waterfront" directed by Elia Kazan. (see photo). 

In 1976, around 240,000 Chinese inhabitants in Tangshan, lost their lives to a massive earthquake. On this day in 1993, Harry Kane was brought into this World! 

In 2005, on this day, the IRA announced they would pursue only "peaceful means" to achieve their "objectives". Today, the death of Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musician satirist, is announced. A child prodigy in mathematics, he graduated Harvard at just 19 years old, his darkly prophetic and cynical show tunes won him a cult following in the 50s and 60s.

In 2006, Ruud van Nistelrooy was on the end of the ruthless decision by Manchester United boss, Alex Ferguson, when he sold the Dutchman to Real Madrid.  The Dutchman was a very successful player but Ferguson was allegedy unhappy with Ruud's "reaction" to not being picked to start the League Cup Final against Wigan! Tetchy! Ruud was not used.
