WHU keeper is Bobby Ferguson. Also think the two WHU defenders together on the left of the pic are Alan Stephenson and John Bond ( later Norwich and Man City manager). Agree re Lampard. My namesake scuffing one as he did so often later at Palace!

...might be 1969. I was at Villa Park when Tommy Booth scored in the 90th minute.

Deffo 1969. 1968 was the nirvana of beating Leeds 1-0....that game at Villa was the polar opposite....

...wasn't it just, I can still see Tommy Booth smashing that goal in the last minute. Mind you, we did ok in a few semi finals at Villa Park in the mid 80s.

There was definitely something in the Yorkshire air that night...

 

[Old Blue 2]

Possibly the best ever name : Smart Arridge, played between 1893-1897.

Born in Sunderland. Family moved to Wales. Originally played for Bangor, but was bought by Bootle. Moved to Everton and appeared 56 times. After missing out on being in the 1897 Cup Final side, he apparently got in a snot and left for New Brighton. Having lived in Wales for some time, he qualified to play for that country, and won 8 caps. Fascinating to see old photos of blues...
