Welcome to On This Football Day.com.

Every day this website is updated with an event from football’s past that occurred on the same day in history. We will be covering things like special matches or goals, important debuts, and off-field occurrences that are significant to the beautiful game.

We will always try to concentrate on the funny or the unusual rather than simply results or statistics, and hope to amuse you as well as allow you to reminisce.

As the site is updated daily, all previous entries are kept on the site and can be accessed through the archives.

You can also search the site for any team, player or manager to see any stories we have about them. Similarly, you can also search the site by date to find out what happened on any particular day.

Enjoy!
