This one isn't just because I'm a Saints fan, it was also one of the biggest upsets ever in the FA Cup. Man U 0 - Southampton 1. IMO this was bigger than the much talked about Wimbledon Crazy Gang win as they were in the same division when they beat Liverpool 12 years after this 1976 photo.

That photograph at 07:48 still shames and angers me.
It epitomised the international community's impotence and betrayal of Srebrenica, which was meant to be under the protection of the UN. All the more painful to my eyes because this genocide took place in Europe, not some geographically and psychologically distant alien land.
Background to the photo from a 2005 article (for which the woman's two children were interviewed):

Not historical as such but Warhol seems to have died of medical negligence like so many stars in the USA.
