Memories of the 70’s

Does anybody have any particular memories of that era? Who remembers the Bingham super star’s silk scarves?
30p your scarf, 50p your banner.

Does anyone remember when the fans used to give the opposing goalkeeper a round of applause when he came to the Gwladys Street?

I just remember most youngsters had doc martins, flemings 24 inch and scarves tied around the wrists and we actually thought we looked great

Going to Burnden Park in 1977 and seeing us at last get to a final. Never simple with us though as Duncan McKenzie missed his penalty. A great atmosphere in an old, definitely old, fashioned stadium, which have long gone now.

Loads of fans on the floodlight pylons. Great atmosphere. Then remember the queues for the league Cup Final tickets when the queuing started at an Ungodly hour

Not sure if it was in the 70's or later but for a few years each time Arsenal ran out at Goodison they would line up in the centre circle & wave to the crowd & they got applauded too!
It was a nice touch somehow, as we acknowledged that they had a great side.

I thought that was dirty Leeds when they started wearing those tag things in the fold of there socks. I may be wrong as it was such a long time ago

I queued for nine hours. I bunked off school to get the final tickets. When I went into school the next day, the teacher was curious to know why I was off. I had a note from my mother explaining my absence.
The teacher said that I looked ok on Granada reports queuing for my cup final ticket!!

Maybe Leeds did it too (it does ring a bell now you've mentioned it).
Arsenal did do it though, I can remember seeing them as clear as anything in their red shirts but am unsure of the decade!!
I post too much

My memory is vague but I am sure that Bolton had half of it. Remember lots of insults and stuff being thrown at each other

Some fruity comments in here. Forgot about the floodlights.

Everton V Bolton Lc Semi-Final 77.

Just looking through the Rothmans yearbook for the match attendance, its down as 48000, i thought it was a lock out, anyway further checking in the day to day diary, it gives the attendance as 54032 which sounds about right. The return match drew 50413 at Burnden Park.

Saw Peter Reid break his leg in the snow at Bolton, match called off at half time cos of the weather, they blamed our goalie George Wood but it was the conditions that led to it.
Signed for us eventually in 1982.
