1814 - Eight people die in the London Beer Flood.
A huge vat of beer at the Muex and Company Brewery on Tottenham Court Road ruptured, sending 135,000 imperial gallons of beer rushing through the building causing other vats to also rupture resulting in more than 323,000 imperial gallons gushng through the streets destroying two homes. Minutes later nearby George Street and New Street were also flooded and roomful of people attending a wake and a mother and daughter having tea were killed.

More goals than crowd. Probably went to all the games there but a really horrible place.
I like the line up in the programme with the positions each player was in. Little chance of the programme writer doing that today with Ollie until after the game is finished, and then you have to wonder about 1 or 2.
Did they have a sub then or was it only because of injury, anyone know/remember?
They didn’t have subs in the 66 World Cup, so don’t think they came in until the late sixties.
My great, great, great grandfather Ebediah Uber drowned in that incident after six hours swimming in a lake of mild.
“Why so long to drown?” I hear you ask.
Well, he had to get out 5 or 6 times for a piss.
Ah, the old ones...

Utterly ridiculous day from start to finish. Was it Mata who got Lampard to take a corner for him after being shouted at a bit by R block?
Their first official fixture was in 1860 when they played a local derby against Hallam FC, their timeline history is here...
