On this day in:-

1981
Exeter lost an FA Cup 6 Round tie at Spurs by 2-0. 

1987
City, all pepped up to wipe out the memory of the midweek defeat by Preston, walked straight into the most appalling conditions imaginable at Turf Moor, Burnley. A howling blizzard from start to finish was enough to freeze a man to the terraces and no wonder in such refrigerating conditions there were no goals and precious little else. The chance of the day fell in the 48th minute to Mark Robson. Martin Butler, whose work on such a pitch was quite outstanding, set up the chance with a sweet and low cross which arrived just outside the six yard line, but Robson lifted it over the bar.

1998 
Exeter stopped the rot with a hard earned point at Peterborough.
