ON THIS DAY

3RD JULY

2 historic moments in football history on 3rd July.

2018
At last England won a World Cup penalty shoot-out! After defeats against West Germany in 1990, Argentina in 1998 and Portugal in 2006 they got the better of Colombia in the Spartak Stadium in Moscow. It was England 1 Colombia 1 at the end of extra time in the Round of Last 16 match and ominously it was Jordan Henderson who became the first player to fail to score from the penalty spot. But then Uribe and Bacca missed for Colombia before Eric Dier slotted home the final penalty to give England a 4-3 victory. Surely England would now go on to win the World Cup.......
2001
One of the more controversial football transfers. Sol Campbell (full name Sulzeer Jeremiah Campbell would you believe) moves on a Bosman free transfer from Tottenham to near neighbours Arsenal, leaving Spurs fans just a tad upset!
