ON THIS DAY
1935: Brian Clough, one of the greatest managers in English football history, was born. A hugely prolific goalscorer in his playing days at Middlesbrough and Sunderland, Clough went on to win league titles as manager of both Derby and Nottingham Forest. Arguably his finest managerial achievement came when he guided Forest to back-to-back European Cup wins in 1979 and 1980. He died in 2004, aged 69.
1960: Brazil's three-time Formula One world champion Ayrton Senna was born. A 41-time grand prix winner and 65-time pole-sitter, Senna is regarded by many as the greatest driver of his or any other generation. He died in a crash at the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994, aged 34.
2002: West Brom were awarded three points and a 3-0 win over Sheffield United by the Football Association after the league match between the two was abandoned when the Blades were reduced to six men.
2006: Lisa Dobriskey won a gold medal for England and Hayley Tullett the bronze for Wales in the women's 1500 metres final at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.
2013: The Football Association board unanimously approved the nomination of Greg Dyke to succeed David Bernstein as chairman. Dyke took up the post in July 2013.
