26th September 1956
The first European Cup match (note, this was before the various present European Cup/League competitions were put into place) was played on English soil. Manchester United entertained the Belgians of Anderlecht at Maine Road. In front of 40,000 fans, United took the lead after only 9 minutes with a wonder goal from Tommy Taylor and went on to win.....by 10-0 (12-0 on aggregate). Dominating Europe was going to be easy....wasn't it!
