Seeing as regular Friday night football is a novelty to many people, talkSPORT looks at when it was a pretty regular thing.
Man United and Tottenham at Old Trafford was the first live game to be shown in its entirety by the BBC back in December 1983.
The hosts - FA Cup holders at the time - won 4-2 thanks to some dodgy goalkeeping from Ray Clemence and two goals each from Kevin Moran and Arthur Graham.
Meanwhile, Spurs' goals came courtesy of Mark Falco and a lovely volley from talkSPORT's very own Alan Brazil and although they lost here, Tottenham finished the season as UEFA Cup winners.
