On Stuart Pearce’s 62nd birthday, a reminder of his final match as a player in 2002.

Stuck on 99 career goals, an injury time penalty is given at Maine Road. Dave Beasant even tells Pearce he’s going to stand still.

This will definitely be an education!

On this day in 1992, Leeds Utd faced Coventry live on The Match.

Here before kick-off, Elland Road is buzzing at the news that Man Utd have just lost at home to Forest, leaving the title within their grasp.

And Jack Charlton cannot contain his delight…
