The COVID-19 pandemic has wiped out most live sport all around the globe, but history will never be erased.
While you contemplate streaming yet another Netflix drama or rewatching another replay of your favourite sporting moments, here are some stories that were making news in years past on May 12.
1973
Newtown Jets replacement halfback Ken Wilson etches his name in the history books, landed a 68th-minute field goal to secure a 1-0 victory over St George at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
This was the first (and only) 1-0 score in the history of the ARL/NRL rugby league premiership.
2001
For the first time, the Super 12 semi-finals would take place without a New Zealand franchise, with a final-game win over the Crusaders in Dunedin not enough for the Highlanders to pip Queensland Reds for a playoff spot.
Led by Wallaby pair George Gregan and Stephen Larkham, the Brumbies would defeat the Sharks 36-6 in the final to claim a first Super Rugby title.
Currently, this is the only year no NZ teams made the semis, with only two other years (2007 & 2010) that none featured in the final.
2007
The Crusaders and Blues are eliminated in the Super Rugby semi-finals, after defeats to the Bulls and Sharks respectively.
Derrick Hoggard scored all the Bulls' points from the boot in a 27-12 win over the Crusaders, while the Blues lost 34-18.
2019
Brazilian Amanda Nunes batters American Raquel Pennington at UFC 224 in Rio, Brazil, to retain the bantamweight championship.
Nunes is regarded as the greatest women's combat sports artist of all time, after beating Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm, Meisha Tate, Valentina Shevchenko (twice) and Cyborg Justino, all via knockout.
The vicious striker ended the bout with Pennington late in the final round, closing out a near-flawless performance for the now 31-year-old.
Nunes' career record sits at 19-4, but she hasn't lost in six years.
2019
Kawhi Leonard hits a corner buzzerbeater over Joel Embiid that bounced off the rim four times, before falling to give the Toronto Raptors a 92-90 NBA playoff victory over the 76ers.
The Game Seven miracle propelled the Raptors into the Eastern Conference final, where they took care of the Milwaukee Bucks, before Leonard would lead them to a first NBA championship against the Golden State Warriors.
A few months after playing a starring role in the finals, Leonard hooked up with Paul George at the Los Angeles Clippers on a multi-year deal.
