I’m deaf to idiocy and those who spout rubbish Sheila but I always listen to you.
However,
On this day in 1157 Richard 1st, King of England was born; in 1886 Siegfried Sassoon who won the MC in World War 1 arrived followed in 1931 by Jack Rosenthal, playwright. Two of the Goons share this birthday as well - Sir Harry Secombe in 1921 and Peter (Richard Henry) Sellers in 1925.
Ann Lee, English born leader of the Shakers died in 1784; 1949 saw the demise of Richard Strauss, German composer of Der rosenkavalier.
In 1888 the first football League matches were played.
Anyone wishing to add to this thread along these lines is welcome. Debate is also encouraged - aren’t I the generous one - (???????????)

Not strictly in tune with the thread, but if I don’t get it off my chest now, short term memory will erase instantly.
Who actually were the first Foot ball team. S.O.McK.
P.S. Should save this one for Monday, 10th September. On that day in 1957 my son Mark was born. As he may monopolise this "comp" for the day, I probably will not be able to publish this then. Also we are sworn to silence and will be wearing black arm bands as he is FIFTY!, and hates it. Thank you for your attention. S.O.McK.
