So if it’s AFL, NRL, Basketball, Cricket, Golf or even Wrestling, be sure to return each and every morning as we take a trip back through the history books to relive some of sports’ greatest moments.
2003 – Gunner Win Some This Year? Gunner Try
Arsenal concluded their league season with a 6-1 victory over Southampton on this day in 2003, but little did the Gunners know they were on their way to creating history.
Arsenal went on to win a record 49 straight games in the Premier League across 2003-2004, with the unbeaten streak finally coming to an end on the 24th of October in a 2-0 defeat at Manchester United.
Also on this day in football…
