On Ralph Milne’s birthday, a reminder of this decisive moment at Dens Park in 1983. A moment of majesty helps the Tangerines to the title on the final day. What wonderful ability.

This Vinnie Jones tackle in the FA Cup Final is 37 years old today. No booking. No pantomime push and shove. Instead, arch-rival Steve McMahon gets straight up and back on with the game, gents...

44 years ago at Wembley: A perfect cushion header sets up Steve MacKenzie for some exquisite violence on the volley. What a hit, son. Absolutely smeared that one in.

It’s the 30th anniversary of Ludo Miklosko’s heroics denying Manchester United, and handing Blackburn the title. Fucking hell. He deserved a winners’ medal for this.

This Mark Hughes winner in the Cup Winners Cup for Manchester United vs Barca is 34 years old today. Just as Brian Moore thinks he’s fluffed it, Hughes drills it in from a ridiculous angle. And he doesn’t even look up. Tremendous technique.

38 years ago at Wembley: - Keeper goes long - Big man wins the flick-on - A perfect touch and lay-off - Winger gets it straight in the box… … and Keith Houchen soars like a golden fucking eagle to score one of the all-time great diving headers.
