1975

February 28th: A London Underground train has crashed at Moorgate, killing the driver and at least 29 passengers and injuring more than 70 in the worst-ever Tube disaster.

The 0837 train from Drayton Park to Moorgate was packed with commuters going to work when it overshot the platform and ploughed into a dead-end tunnel at 0846.

2005

February 28th: It may have happened before the social media age, but Delia Smith’s rallying cry of “let’s be having you” at half time during Norwich City’s Premier League clash with Manchester City on the last day of February 2005 has sustained as a memorable viral sensation for nearly two solid decades.

1900

February 27th: The Labour Party was created in 1900: a new party for a new century. Its formation was the result of many years of struggle by working class people, trade unionists and socialists, united by the goal of working class voices represented in British Parliament.

It was this aim that united Keir Hardie and the colleagues who gathered for the famous inaugural meeting of the Labour Representation Committee at London’s Memorial Hall in February 1900. Ignored by the Tories and disillusioned with the Liberals, they gathered together to push for real change.

1984

February 27th: The US golden boy proceeded to charge down the runway in textbook style, his long levers pumping in perfect piston-fashion. He hit the board flush on, launched a take-off of NASAesque precision, soaring through the air with a lightning-quick, silken double hitch-kick.

Resplendent in Santa Monica Track Club vest and luminous orange shorts, as though dressed for a day at the beach, he raised his arms in triumph as soon as he cut the sand. The distance was a whopping 8.79m, or 28 ft 10¼ in imperial, US-favoured, terms.
