ON THIS DAY - August 14
Our first substitution!We made out first substitution on this day (August 14th) in 1968. Goalkeeper Peter Grummitt broke his thumb in the 82nd minute; Dave Hilley came on to replace him as an outfield player, and Joe Baker went in goal for the last 10 minutes. And that was our first ever subsititution! We drew 1-1, by the way.
