1916: Sir Len Hutton, one of the all-time great England cricketers, was born. He was the first professional captain of the England Test side and his innings of 364 against Australia at The Oval in 1938 stood as a Test record for nearly 20 years. He died in 1990 aged 74.

1998: Scotland's hopes of progressing to the second round of the World Cup were scuppered after Morocco beat them 3-0 in St Etienne and Norway pulled off a shock 2-1 win over Brazil in Marseille. Craig Brown's side came home with just one point from France 98.

1973: Patricia's Hope became only the second dog after Mick the Miller, in 1929 and 1930, to win the Greyhound Derby a second time.
