I have seen other footages of the 1936 FA Cup final but this one showed Blades fans in the train on the way to London and back.

The one with the Hitler tache still using his rattle in the last few seconds of the footage!I know how they feel, leaving Wembley after a defeat!
The FA (I think) banned tv cameras from the 1936 final2:09 "circumstances with which the public are familiar, for they have had considerable press publicity, make it difficult for the newsreel to present a comprehensive record of Arsenal's victory"
Excuse my ignorance, does anyone know what circumstance he's referring to?
Rise of Nazism, Sky broadcasting rights or something else?
Yes

To be fair to the bloke, in 1936 Hitler hadn't started exterminating Jews or invading Poland or owt. I would imagine that look was quite fashionable.
That escalated quickly.My Dad (age 19 at the time) and his Dad were there, but I could not spot them. Never met Granddad perhaps he was Mr Hilter,

He sent 22,000 troops into the demilitarised zone of the Rhineland in March 1936

Lost some of his hearing in his early 20s. A deaf Portsmouth fan (now dead) that I know recalled seeing Alex James making gestures at Cliff Bastin during a match he saw. Burnley's Billy Nesbit was profoundly deaf all his life and he won the 1914 FA Cup winners medal and the 1921 League Championship medalIs that you at 00:32 in the Trilby Silent Blade ?
And as a second point and you will probably know this anyway but Cliff Bastin suffered from deafness, I don't know if he was profoundly deaf or not though
All those Blades, all the stories, the days away, the ups and the downs.
