Phil Brown gave a half-time team talk at the Boxing Day game in 2008.
The 10-1 Boxing Day thumping by Ipswich Town at the hands of Fulham in 1963 would be recycled annually on a distant phenomenon called social media.
The day had a win for Manchester United, a draw for West Brom and a win for Spurs.
66 goals were scored in 10 First Division games. Fans still celebrate the festive goal scoring feast, with the results posted online every 26 December.
The last top-flight fixture in England on Christmas Day was in 1965, and it was a win for Blackburn.
One of the most interesting days of the footballing calendar is 26 December. We're going to look back at some Boxing Day classics from the Premier League era and find out which ones are the best.
There were comebacks and memorable celebrations.
Manchester United have been involved in some Boxing Day classics.
The first clash of the new competition was between Sir Alex Ferguson's side and Wednesday in 1992, and they went down by three goals. Eric Cantona's late goal salvaged United a 3-3 draw.
In Ferguson's final Boxing Day outing, his side came from behind to win 4-3 at Old United, with a last-minute goal from Javier Hernandez.
Sir Alex Ferguson's side won on Boxing Day.
Chris Smalling, Wayne Rooney and a James Chester own goal gave United a three point win over Hull City a year later.
In 2008 Hull's boss Phil Brown gave his side a half-time dressing down at the City of Manchester Stadium, which was the most memorable festive moment in the history of the league.
Felipe Caicedo and Robinho scored two goals each at the start of the second half to give the hosts a four goal lead, as Manchester City battled to get out of the bottom tier.
In front of the away fans, Brown sat his side down in the penalty area and delivered a few home truths. Stephen Ireland scored a fifth goal for City in the second half to cancel out Craig Fagan's goal for Hull.
Boxing Day icons.
Fowler has scored more goals on Boxing Day than any other player.
If you want to see a glimpse of what it's like to be a part of a famous team, look back to 1999, when a trio of players - Gary McAllister, Mustapha Hadji and a youngRobbie Keane - helped the Sky Blues shock the Gunners with a 3-2 victory.
Freddie Ljungberg and Davor Suker were on target for the visitors, but the game was over before it started, and that set up the path for Roy Keane to second place on the goal scoring chart.
The former Republic of Ireland forward has scored more on 26 December than any other player.
In 1999 he failed to score, but the following year he scored a hat-trick in a 6-1 win overLeicester City, which ended the festive gloom for the club. The Frenchman scored seven goals on Boxing Day.
The last real title chase for the Gunners was on December 26, 2015, but they were fourth in the Boxing Day table and had not won a title in over a decade.
A win at Saints would have taken the north London team to the top of the table. The south coast was where the team slipped to a loss.
Since the turn of the millennium, there have been a couple of cracking Christmas-time games between the two teams, and the Blues have been involved in both of them.

Ranieri was chasing the title with a lavishly-assembled Blues squad, but saw his hopes ruined by a surprise 4-2 defeat by Charlton Athletic at The Valley in 2003
Four years later, in a Boxing Day clash, the two teams shared eight goals, three red cards and two penalties, and the game ended in a 4-4 draw.
The game ended with nine men after the Blues were reduced to 10 men by the sending offs of Ricardo Carvalho and Ashley Cole in the final 10 minutes.
Villa had led 2-0 before Zat Knight was sent off, and then had to play the final half-hour with 10 men, but still managed to snatch a point.
Alex put the hosts in front for the first time after the break, and the Ukraine forward grabbed his second five minutes after the break to cancel out the first-half double of the visitors.
Michael Ballack's 88th-minute effort looked to have won it for Villa, but Barry kept his cool from the spot in the 92nd minute.
