That's the first kit I ever associated with the dark side. A few years later because of circumstances in a European tie, they ended up having to play in all red. Shanks thought it made them look more formidable so elected to keep it.

For some reason, I thought it was the '65 F A Cup final that persuaded them to change it. But I'm usually wrong about everything anyway!
