Previous reports: Millwall 1 Watford 1, 25/02/98, Watford 2 Shrewsbury Town 0, 25/02/97
Celebrity birthdays: Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841), Stuart Wood of the Bay City Rollers (1957)
Historical events: Samuel Colt received a patent for the Colt 45 (1836), Sam Hammam sold his final 20% of Wimbledon and was dumped in a puddle at the training ground as a result. Shame they didn't dump him in something a little deeper really. Like the Thames. (2000)
Saint of the day: Saint Walburga travelled from her native Dorset to Germany, where she set about converting heathens and curing eating disorders. She is invoked against coughs, frenzy and plague, which is handy to know for the trip to Molineux.
