Ball of the Century

#OnThisDay in 1993, Shane Warne bowled his first ball in England and that turned out to be the Ball of the Century.

It drifted lazily onto leg stump, then spat back a yard or two and clipped the top of off.

The famous picture of Ian Healy aahing and Gatting oohing tells the story perfectly.

It’s 27 years since Watford won promotion and Elton John called Graham Taylor live on Sky to congratulate him.

Listen to the pride, and the raw emotion, in Taylor’s voice.

What a delightful moment.

This is the funniest & most cringe thing you'll see today from 1988!!

Look at the young Gary Lineker and Tomy Adams!!

#OTD 1979, Trevor Francis scored the winning goal for Nottingham Forest in the European Cup Final v Malmo, heading home a John Robertson cross. Robbo also went close, hitting the post.

Remembering Trevor & Robbo. ♥️

@HipHopSince76_ A lot of crews got pout on in the 90s due to be family to the main rapper and were wack. BCC bucked this trend. Everyone deserved to shine.

Colin Welland what a legend. One of the best portrayals of a teacher ever. A caring voice in the cruel world of secondary moderns and grammar schools.

As a working class kid maybe I was just biased but I’m all grown up now and so truly understand why this is one of the most honest, heartbreaking, human & wonderful films ever fucking made.

Happy Birthday Jeff Dujon

It was one of cricket’s great sights in the 1980s: a fearsome West Indian fast bowler forcing an edge, and behind the stumps, Jeff Dujon flying through the air to complete another stunning one-handed catch.

The acrobatic heartbeat of the dominant West Indies side, Dujon never lost a Test series, claimed 270 dismissals.

He was equally elegant with the bat, scoring five Test centuries - including a brilliant 139 against Australia at Perth in 1984-85 after his team had slumped to 186 for 6.

@For_Film_Fans Football was exactly like this at my Comprehensive school in the 80s.

@Kil889 I was almost annoyed at the people who jumped on Ace after INC Ride. I loved him from the marley marl In Control days. Take A Look Around is a classic i agree!

@HipHopSince76_ Keith Murray was dangerous!
