Spurs

The date that Redknapp was sacked... It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since the wheeler and dealer was in charge. Harry Redknapp did well with Spurs. He was sacked after the club failed to reach an agreement with him on a new contract. Tottenham finished 4th in 2011-2012. They missed out on the Champions League because sixth-place Chelsea somehow managed to win the competition.

Take me back to June 13, 2012

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is June 13, 2012, and it's a Wednesday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Gemini. It is "Hump Day", so many are beginning to think about the weekend ahead.

The summer of 2012 is in full swing. The weather is warm, and the evenings are brighter than usual. Most schools and colleges are now finished until August or September. In America, the song "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gitye ft Kimbra is at the top of the singles charts, while "Sing" by Gary Barlow & Commonwealth Band is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Snow White and the Huntsman is at the top of the box office.

David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "Mad Men", "Shameless", "Black Mirror", and "Veep". Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment. Sadly, it seems as though they will be unable to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu.

People are using pre-made comics called "Rage Comics" to share funny and relatable experiences. It's 2012, so the music charts are being dominated by artists such as Carly Rae Jepsen, Gotye, Flo Rida, LMFAO and Ellie Goulding. Meanwhile, a new photo-sharing app called Instagram is currently surging in popularity.

The hit song "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen is the subject of a number of parodies and lip-dub videos. A YouTube video by Laina Morris parodying an "Overly Attached Girlfriend" is going viral at the moment. The success of the video has led to "Overly Attached Girlfriend" becoming a meme. In Poland and Ukraine, the 2012 UEFA European Football Championship is taking place.

Actor David Arquette has filed for divorce from Friends star Courtney Cox following two years of separation. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Rodney King, Sherman Hemsley, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Clarke Duncan would all still be alive. People are playing video games such as "Deus Ex: Human Revolution", "Minecraft", "Journey", and "Diablo III".

Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Johnny Test", "Good Luck Charlie", "Pretty Little Liars", and "Jessie". Children are playing with toys such as Harumika (dolls), Laser Zero Gravity, the LeapPad Explorer, and Explore N' Grow Musical Gear Center.
