Very interesting, even if the very first sentence is a little bathetic:
"The February of 1947 was the coldest on record in the UK since 1910."

I'm also a bit dubious about "Albert Stubbins lacerated his knees by
sliding on the ice in celebration of a now famous diving header against
Birmingham City." He might have suffered the injury whilst scoring the
goal but I'd be very surprised if it happened during any supposed
celebration.
