On this day in football history

: 1925 Eddie Bailey born in Clapton, East London. Although he signed amateur forms with Tottenham Hotspur during the war, he was later reported as missing in action and Spurs allowed his registration to lapse. Upon arriving back in England he was persuaded by Chelsea to sign amateur forms with them, and it was only when he popped into White Hart Lane to collect his boots that the situation became clear. To their credit, Chelsea agreed to tear up their contract and Baily re-signed with Spurs in February 1946, being upgraded to professional status in October the following year.; 1991 The Irish FA re-elect Harry Cavan as President for the 33rd year.; 1994 Eric Cantona of Manchester United is sent off in the Ibrox pre-season tournament.; 1996 Alan Shearer was officially unveiled as a Newcastle United player in front of a delirious crowd in the Leazes car park and a slightly more restrained invited audience in the Leazes stand.
