05 March 1908
The Referees Association was formed.
05 March 1925
Arsenal signed centre-forward Donald Cock from Notts County. He was a younger brother of England forward Jack Cock. Donald began with Fulham immediately after the First War and moved to County in 1923. His move to Highbury didn't really work out and he played only three matches for Arsenal before transferring to Clapton Orient. His last season in the League was spent with Wolverhampton Wanderers. His career record reads 103 goals in 242 League matches.
05 March 1938
White Hart Lane's record crowd of 75,038 saw Tottenham Hotspur beaten by Sunderland in a F.A. Cup Sixth Round tie by a goal from Raich Carter.
05 March 1960
Highland League side Elgin City came within five minutes of creating one of the greatest shocks ever in the history of the Scottish Cup. After 85 minutes of a Third Round tie they were leading Celtic 1-0 with a goal by Grant but at the death superior fitness told and Celtic saved their blushes with late strikes from Divers and Smith.
05 March 1963
Burnley sprang a huge surprise when they transferred their Irish international inside-forward and genius Jimmy McIlroy to Stoke City. A youth international he had made his senior debut for Glentoran in 1949 and had joined Burnley in 1950. In 13 seasons he made 436 League appearances and scored 116 goals and was a principal architect of their 1960 Championship season as well as their Cup Final appearance in 1962. At Stoke he made sufficient appearances that season to qualify for a Second Division medal. Remained at the Potteries until 1966 when, after 97 games and 10 goals, he retired to become manager of Oldham Athletic having agreed a five year deal with chairman Ken Bates. However, with the club struggling against relegation to the Fourth Division, Oldham paid Stoke �5,000 to enable him to re-register as a player and he made his club debut at Southend on 11th March 1967. Oldham survived although they achieved nothing spectacular under his stewardship and, following a brief spell at Bolton Wanderers, he left the game to pursue a career in journalism.
