Happy Birthday @Smudger603 :emoticon-0166-cake:

My luck ran out at around 50.
I had to visit a GP for the first time in about 10 years, now it feels like I spend half my time in there, or hospitals.
Took good health for granted until it was gone <wah>

Hope you're feeling OK...

Today's the 60th anniversary of the day young Keith Peacock made history by becoming the first ever substitute. His book. No Substitute, is worth a read.

The first ever record I've seen of a Charlton substitution in any game was in the Summer of 1937 when the Addicks were touring the USA & Canada.
Inside left Les Boulter came on as a sub for George Stephenson (who usually played at inside right).
This may have been a 'one-off' at the discretion of the referee. It was a friendly tour match.

Keith Peacock is rightly known as the first player ever to come on as a sub in an English League game.

Happy 100th Birthday Pete Murray. The Six-Five Special was proper rock 'n' roll.

I was born too late.
My earliest music memories are of a dreadful show on ITV (I think) called 'Supersonic'.
Glam rock and the Bay City Rollers :emoticon-0119-puke:

Happy Birthday Rodney Marsh, 81 today. Brilliant player. Not sure he'd fit in to today's game.

Entertaining on Sky's Soccer Saturday back in the day.
Is he still a pundit for Al Jazeera? Or retired now...
