1966 Dalek invasion of Earth
The 1966 Dalek invasion of Earth was a Dalek invasion that began during the World Cup Final at Wembley Stadium in 1966. As the invasion progressed and spread across the Earth, however, the Daleks fought the newly-regenerated Fourteenth Doctor and successfully cornered him, firing on him to exterminate the Doctor. Upon realising he was not dead despite being shot multiple times, however, the Doctor began to suspect the Daleks invading the Earth were not real Dalek units, despite the Supreme Dalek indeed believing itself to be real.

History
The newly regenerated Fourteenth Doctor (TV: The Power of the Doctor) received a distress signal from the TARDIS and arrived during the 1966 World Cup Final, searching the crowd whete hr group of four alien time tourists. Their encounter was interrupted by the arrival of a flying saucer above the Stadium, which unleashed a horde of Bronze Daleks who began their attack by exterminating the players on the field.
With the royal box having been evacuated, the Doctor made his way there to get the Daleks' attention using his sonic screwdriver. The Supreme Dalek ordered his exterminaton so the Daleks abandoned their attack to converge on him instead, to the annoyance of the tourists who decided to travel to other parts of London and San Francisco to witness the Daleks invading and killing. At Wembley the Daleks pursued the Doctor out of the stadium to his TARDIS, which a saucer seized before he could enter. The Supreme ordered the Daleks not to engage in discourse with the surrounded Doctor, instead telling them to simply exterminate him. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks)
