West Ham welcome Brentford to the London Stadium for Monday Night Football in the Premier League this evening. The Hammers are looking to finally get their campaign going after parting ways with Graham Potter already this term - with the ex-Hammers boss now the Sweden head coach. Meanwhile, the Bees are staying afloat under Keith Andrews having lost their head coach and core of their squad in the summer. Three points would be crucial for both sides in this clash.

1996 - Gary Gaetti hits a grand slam off Greg Maddux to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to an 8 - 3 win over the Atlanta Braves and a tie of the NLCS. Todd Stottlemyre gets the victory. 1997 - The Florida Marlins take Game 3 of the NLCS by defeating the Atlanta Braves by a score of 5 - 2.

Tottenham endured their worst top-flight finish since 1976/77 last season, coming 17th before salvaging the campaign by winning the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League. That success - which ended Tottenham's 17-year trophy drought - was not enough to spare boss Ange Postecoglou from Levy's wrath as the Australian was sacked after two turbulent seasons in charge. Levy hired Thomas Frank from Brentford to replace Postecoglou in the last significant decision of his reign.

When Howard Wilkinson was appointed as Leeds boss in October 1988, the Whites had been marooned in Division Two for six seasons, after a host of Revie-era players such as Allan Clarke, Eddie Gray and Billy Bremner had failed to replicate their on-the-pitch heroics in the dugout.

Only in the last few hours have I really decided to put an end to this wonderful nine-year-long story. But let's not say goodbye. I don't like that.

Derek Shelton did not lead the Pirates to any winning seasons, accumulating a 306-440 record over six seasons, prompting the franchise to seek a new direction.

It's a privilege to be at this football club, and now I have the honour of officially being the head coach.
