    Marsh was before my time, but I really liked old Danny Maddix. Always seemed to play in a back three only, in memory.

    1773 - America's first insane asylum opens.

    They need a lot more!


    But more importantly,

    1823 - Charles Macintosh of Scotland sells the first raincoat.

    I always thought the first floodlit game was Portsmouth v Newcastle in 1957. I must be confusing it with something else.

    Just looked it up, it was 1956 and Portsmouth v Newcastle was the first ever football league floodlit fixture. The Sheffield game must've been a friendly or something.
    A surprisingly long gap between the two matches though.

    The Football League didn't start till 1888 so it must have been a local friendly match. Possibly played late afternoon rather than at night. I remember as a kid there were games played on Wednesday afternoon rather than evenings as Wednesday was half-day at shops everywhere...
