1927: Former Leeds and England manager Don Revie was born. He transformed Leeds from a struggling Second Division side into one of the best teams in Europe
during the late 1960s and early 70s - guiding them to two League Championships,
FA Cup and League Cup glory as well as regular European football, winning the
Fairs Cup in 1968 and 1971. He went on to manage England but quit after three
years in 1977 following poor results. He died from motor neurone disease in May
1989.

1943: Arthur Ashe, who became the first black Wimbledon men's champion when he

Sampdoria for £4.75million.

which were cast at half-time in the World Cup final, in which he was later sent
off - for being the best player in the tournament.

record fee of £7.5m.
