Jonjo's day
1992 - Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey was born in Romford. He signed from Charlton Athletic for £1.7m last May, having become their youngest ever player. He has so far made fifteen senior appearances, with all bar four of these coming from the bench, but has yet to find the back of the net.

Cardiff disappointment
2005 - We were beaten by Chelsea in the Final of the Carling Cup in Cardiff, 3-2 after extra time. John Arne Riise struck in the first minute, and we led until a Steven Gerrard own goal rescued the Blues with just eleven minutes left. Didier Drogba and Mateja Kezman netted before Antonio Núñez bagged a consolation, his only reds goal.

We have faced Chelsea twice more on this day in history, also suffering defeat each time.
1932 - We lost an FA Cup Sixth Round tie 2-0 at Anfield.
1999 - Michael Owen grabbed the consolation in our 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge in a Premiership meeting. This was the game in which Robbie Fowler infamously bent over to taunt Graeme Le Saux.

Happy birthdays
1948 - Left-back Alec Lindsay was born in Bury. He signed from his hometown club for £67,000 in March 1969 and netted eighteen times in 248 reds games, helping us to the League and UEFA Cup in 1973, and FA Cup and FA Charity Shield the following year, before leaving for Stoke City in September 1977.

1912 - Outside-left Alf Hanson was born in Bootle. He signed from local football in November 1931 and scored 52 goals in 177 reds games before joining Chelsea in July 1938 for £7,500, although he returned to guest for the reds during the war. He struck on his 25th birthday as we were held to a 2-2 draw at Anfield by Brentford, with Jack Balmer also scoring. Pre-Second World War forward Bill Kinghorn was born on exactly the same day. The Scotsman signed from Queens Park in April 1938 and netted four times in nineteen reds games.
1907 - Forward Ted Harston was born in Monk Bretton, Barnsley. He joined the reds for £3,000 from Mansfield Town in June 1937, and struck on his reds bow as we were thumped 6-1 at Chelsea that August. He bagged a brace in his second game but only played a further three games, and returned to amateur football with Ramsgate Town in 1939 after suffering a serious leg injury.

Moran in charge
1991 - Ronnie Moran remained in temporary charge following Kenny Dalglish's resignation as Everton knocked us out of the FA Cup in a Fifth Round second replay at Goodison, the last ever to be played in the competition. Ex-red Dave Watson headed the only goal of the game.

Hodgson's debut
1926 - South African forward Gordon Hodgson made his reds bow as Dick Forshaw struck in our 1-1 draw at Manchester City.

We have faced City on two more occasions on this day in history.
1904 - We were held to a 2-2 top-flight draw at Anfield with Sam Raybould and Robert Robinson on target.
1943 - William Wilson Hall bagged our consolation as we lost a Wartime League fixture 3-1 at Maine Road.

More records for Mickey
2003 - Michael Owen scored in his fifteenth different European game, a then club record, as we beat an Auxerre side that featured future red Djibril Cissé 2-0 in the UEFA Cup Fourth Round second leg at Anfield, with Danny Murphy also on target. Owen's goal was his twentieth in Europe, equalling Ian Rush's club record.

Previously in the East End
1965 - We lost a top-flight fixture 2-1 at West Ham United, with Roger Hunt grabbing our goal.

In McKenna's honour
1937 - A tablet in honour of John McKenna was unveiled in the Anfield entrance hall by Mr W.C. Cuff, the Football League Vice Chairman and Everton Chairman. McKenna had managed the reds for our first four years, as well as serving as a Director for thirty years.

Joey's debut
