ON THIS DAY

Scotland pulled back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with the mighty Faroe Islands in a Euro qualifier – always worth remembering if there are any Scots you talk to about football!

Ron Greenwood selected six players from European Champions Liverpool, plus Kevin Keegan who had recently left Anfield for Hamburg, for his first match as manager of England. But England lacked cohesion and imagination in a disappointing 0-0 draw in the friendly against Switzerland at Wembley. Liverpool's Ian Callaghan made this third appearance for England in that match - his previous match for England had been 11 years earlier in 1966!

This day in 1960 saw Peterborough United play their sixth match in the Football League, against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park with a mahoosive 36,478 attending. Five days later the return League match at London Road was played in front of a 21,171 crowd. Nearly 60,000 watching a new Football League side play two Division 4 matches in a week - that will surely never happen again! (Posh won both matches).
