Didn't go to this above game but I think we won the first leg 2-0 . The game at Goodison ended 1-1 so we won un- official Championship of Britain,
a game mainly remembered for the 'street fighting'.

Blimey... I got taken to that on my 12th birthday. Probably the last season before my schoolmates and I started going off our own bat.

My late father went to the Home game V Rangers came home white as a sheet - {I had begged him to go} He told me the crowd would be to big as I was only 7 years old}
He witnessed cueing up by the paddock - iron bars, knives and bottles being used, by both sets of fans in a skirmish when the mountain police on horses came in a scotch guy stubbed his lit cigarette out on the horses backside he just got through the turnstile to avoid the melle outside - inside it was OK packed tight....
He was a hard man a miner in those days, and could look after himself if need be - He stated I am not going to one of those games ever again......
That picture is a meeting to try and stop Bob Latchford putting in a transfer request........
