    OTD in 1901 Ann Farley passed away. Mrs Farley had manufactured the first ever Farley's rusk biscuits at her premises on Exeter Street sometime in the 1870's. The rusks were a huge success and continued to be manufactured in #Plymouth until 1990.

    40 years ago today in 1978, whilst living at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City, Sex Pistol Sid Vicious called the police to say that someone had stabbed his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. He was arrested and charged with murder and placed in the detox unit of a New York prison.

    You'll have to go a long way to see a better hat-trick than this one Rodney scored 48 years ago today...

    Wow, this brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye, my very first QPR match at 14 years old, I always remembered it was the Saturday of half term week but this is the first time I've seen this and the memory is still so warm of a fantastic atmosphere and seeing all the superstars of United that I'd only seen on TV before. I'd saved my pocket money to go and see the match and remember I didn't have enough money to buy a programme and going home I didn't have enough to get the bus back to Brixton after getting off at Stockwell tube station. I'm sure the next day I played in a match at Bedlam Park behind the War Museum in Kennington the same day as there was a massive Anti-War protest in Grosvenor Square. Was that really 50 years ago?...

    Remember that very well, was at a mates house with several members of the Balsall Common U8s, including our sons, waiting to take them to a game, we had to keep phoning up,the opponents to put the kick off back.......
