OTD 120 years ago (11/11/1905) the United League game between Luton Town and #CPFC was abandoned after 85 minutes due to bad light.

I watched "The Thinking Game" last night (very good) which featured Sir Demis Hassabis' Doctoral Advisor Dubliner Prof. Eleanor Maguire.
She sadly passed away in January, but her entry in "Who's Who" listed her recreations as "Comedy lover, long-suffering supporter of #CPFC, and getting lost."
