What a voice she had!

I was at the Blackburn v West Brom game the other day. Rovers are celebrating their 150th anniversary. Outstanding players from over the years have been awarded celebratory caps. The families of both Roy Vernon and Keith Newton were presented...

:lol:

I think this is against Bolton. That looks like Eddie Hopkinson in goal Joey.

Look at the top right of the picture mate.

…..yep, Byrne certainly played most of that game with a broken collar bone.

Didn’t Gerry Byrne play for most of the game with a badly injured arm ? No subs then. Maybe that’s when he got the injury. A season or two later Bobby Collins got a broken thigh playing against one of the Italian teams !

I don’t see Pele in that team. The only game he missed in the 1966 World Cup was the middle game of three against Hungary. He played in the first game against Bulgaria but came in for some rough treatment so he missed the Hungary game. That game...

So I don’t think the photo was taken in Mexico during the 1970 World Cup.

Roger Hunt and Jimmy Greaves sat down on the right ?

….they tend to put their shirt into their signatures these days which helps.

the comparison of todays pitches to the era when I went is chalk & cheese even Goodison only had grass on the wings mid season .... Elland Road & road The Baseball Ground were just mud .....

When did players stop lashing their boots to their feet with yard long laces ? Maybe when the pitches improved ? On a mud bath your boots were in danger of being sucked off your feet.

You can actually read the autographs. There’s a shop near where I live that does the framing of autographed shirts. He has them in the window until the owner picks them up. It’s all City and Utd where I live. I defy anybody to recognise the felt...

That’ll be in the FACup when he was still with Preston. Preston won that game on the way to the FACup Final in which Howard played. Big Ron was captaining Oxford.
