Default Remove variable text in cells

Hi,

I have a list of data that I want to edit and have tried LEFT,RIGHT & MIDDLE
formulas for editing with no luck.
Eg.

00123456 draft plan v.1 19-05-05
0012457 compliance plan v.2 26-06-05
012348 national business strategy v.2 07-06-05

I want to remove the date from each cell so it reads
00123456 draft plan v.1
0012457 compliance plan v.2
012348 national business strategy v.2

But because the cell characters vary and there isn't a common delimeter(-, _
.. ) I can't get excel to remove the date (last 8 digits) from the right.

Any help would be greatly appreciated becuase it's driving me crazy
