ON THIS DAY

Six months after moving to Hamburg Kevin Keegan was back in Liverpool when the clubs met in the European Super Cup. It was not a happy return, a Terry McDermott hat-trick helping Liverpool to a 6-0 victory on the night, a 7-1 aggregate win.

Just 469 turned up for the Saturday afternoon Division 3 South match between Thames and Luton Town. The crowd was lost in the home ground of Thames, the 100,000+ capacity West Ham Stadium ( not Upton Park). Luton’s share of the receipts was 1s 7d (8p) which they paid by postal order and which Luton framed and displayed in their boardroom.
