American deam: David Beckham makes his Galaxy debut against Chelsea

1995: Harold Larwood died in Australia, aged 90.

Larwood will for ever be associated with the "Bodyline" series in Australia in 1932-33 when the Nottinghamshire pace bowler bowled short-pitched balls directed at the body and claimed 33 wickets at just 19 apiece as England won the series 4-1.

The series generated such outrage that when he returned home Larwood was ordered to apologise, but refused and never played for his country again.

Ironically Larwood emigrated to Australia in 1950. He was awarded the OBE in 1994.

2006: Tiger Woods led the Open Championship on day three after he carded a 64
to equal the course record at Hoylake.

2007: David Beckham comes off the bench to make his debut for LA Galaxy in
their 1-0 friendly defeat at the hands of Chelsea.
