spongebob toonpants 3739 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I've never seen that before. I've got a vague memory of the family huddled round the wireless in front of the coal fire listening, but not totally sure if I've made it up or not I definitely remember my father coming into my room( in retrospect obviously pissed) after the first leg and giving me the program and a blow by blow of the game. Much to my mother's annoyance as she had to get me up for school the next morning 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 29687 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 They were a good side by all accounts, not quite the crack players Hungary produced a decade earlier but still good enough to beat some top outfits including Don Revie's Leeds United side. (He didn't give us a chance). I was still four years away from gracing the planet with my existence when we won our last trophy, 🎵....and here's to Bobby Moncur, the fairs cup in his hand....🎶 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a fairs cup thing a few years ago after a mate had a spare, was good crack actually, there was Frank (knew everyone's father) Clark, David Craig, (just turned 80) and John Gibson who was on form with his never ending glasses of wine, there was also a brief guest appearance from an even earlier player and character, Ron (Cassius) McGarry who was getting on a bit but still a bit of a joker. McGarry used to have a bookies round the corner from us in the 80's and would be standing outside asking passers by who'd obviously been to the match if it was a good game? He once asked my dad what the match was like after seeing me with a NUFC cap on or something walk past his shop so my dad gave him his opinion on the game. After we walked past my dad said he used to be Newcastle's striker but I just thought he was an old gadgie so wasn't sure whether to believe him! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13233 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 21 years later for me. And even I feel like a knackered old cunt now. Imagine being Gemmill’s age! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4125 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Just too early for me - first game I can remember being aware of and watching on TV was the 1970 FA cup final between Leeds and Chelsea. I don't remember watching the 1970 world cup which was after that though I have a feeling they didnt time the games for Europe then so they would have been on too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve watched it before but I think it was just highlights of both legs Edited June 11 by Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise that’s David Dickinson in my display picture, aye? Tbf he looks his age, and I also look his age. Also, some offence taken. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3794 Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) New PSR avoidance strategy, sign dodgy PIF owned Saudi/Middle Eastern sponsors and build in hefty cancellation fee for reputational risk.
