Football On This Day – 21st July 1914
Football On This Day – 21st July 2006 and
2013 Back in 1973 Plymouth Argyle famously beat Santos in a friendly at Home Park, the Brazilians including Pele in their line-up. On Friday 21st July 2006 it was the turn of mighty Real Madrid to play the Pilgrims in a friendly fixture. The match was played in Austria and came about in very unusual circumstances. Plymouth were in Austria preparing for the new season. Real Madrid were in Austria for the same reason but their new manager Fabio Capello - he had only been in the job a couple of weeks - had been disappointed to find that the hotel in his favourite resort in the country had been booked......by Plymouth Argyle. So a deal was reached with Plymouth moving to a new hotel with the Spaniards taking their place, paying the English club's expenses and most importantly, agreeing to play Plymouth in Austria in a friendly. Ok, it wasn't played before a full Nou Camp but a more modest 4,000 at the less well-known Franz Fekete Stadium in Kapfenberg. The friendly saw future England boss Capello record a victory in his first match as manager of Real Madrid but it was by the narrowest of margins with the Spanish giants scoring the only goal of the match in the 75th minute from the penalty spot after Luc Nalis had handled in the area. Fast
forward seven years to Sunday July 21st 2013 and it was another new Real
Madrid manager - Carlo
Ancelotti - who visted another south-coast English side -
Bournemouth - in his first match in charge of the mighty Madrid. Interest
in the match was sky-high with fans queuing over night to buy tickets
which cost up to £60 each - amazing for a pre-season friendly! OK the visitors
beat the Championship side 6-0 but hey, a 11,772 crowd saw Bournemouth
play Real Madrid!
