On This Day – 4th May 2013
The total mis-match that was the Scottish League Division 3 in 2012/13 was well shown by the attendances in the last round of League matches on May 4th. There were 386 spectators at Annan, 745 at Clyde, 786 at Elgin, 462 at Queens Park and 50,048 at Ibrox for the Rangers v Berwick match. The Scottish giants took the title by a mile, finishing 24 points ahead of runners-up Peterhead and although the 50,048 was their best League gate of the season only once did a League attendance at Ibrox drop below 40,000.

Goalkeeper Peter Shilton made his Football League debut for Leicester City against Everton at Filbert Street. He kept a clean sheet in the 3-0 First Division victory and went on to play 1005 League matches in the League and 125 times for England, both records.
He made his big team debut at 16 years old. At the age of 17, he scored a goal, straight from the clearance, in a match with Southampton, his only success in an official match. Two years later, Leicester relegated to the second tier, but Shilton's developments attracted the attention of coach Alf Ramsey, who called him to the national team, where he made his debut in a match with the GDR in November 1970.

Cardiff City played their last match of the 1928/29 campaign - a 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers - to finish the season with the best defensive record in the First Division. But that achievement didn't see them challenging for the title - in fact they finished bottom and were relegated to the Second Division! Despite winning their first home match of the season 7-0 - against Burnley - Cardiff also finished with the worst goalscoring record in the division and that saw them relegated.
