1965-66 (60 years ago today) match reports and photos

[Hanauer]

Olle Nygren, what a rider he was. Wimbledon were a league above us, National League. Went to their stadium a couple of times when working down there. Barry Hartle, another one who could have done with a few more stone, like Tony Wagstaffe who was one of the most skillful players at the same time.

Bergen Blade , do you or any of the other Norway Blades know of anyone who was at the Lyn Oslo match or the Brann Bergen match two days later?

I wasn't aware of those games, but I've asked on the SB Facebook group. Harald Berg, the waiter who scored against United, is well known. He went on to play professionally in Holland. Three of his sons were top class players and his grandson Patrick Berg is a current international for Norway. Andreas Morisbak went on to do coaching and is well known for writing books about football coaching. One of the Scandinavian Blades will know him well. Kolle and Stavrum later hads sons playing professionally.

On Brann's site the match against Sheffield United is mentioned as a highlight of the season. A crowd of 14000 saw club hero Roald "Kniksen" Jensen make a guest appearance and score. At the time he was a Hearts-player. He was a big hero in Brann, and there's a statue of him outside their home ground. He died just aged 44.

In the 70s, on cup final day you could ring in for your favourite cup final clips.

My schoolmate Andy Broskom RIP, used to spend hours every year, hanging on the line to get the above played. Absolute 100% dedication to the Pig Wind Up cause.

At Mexico City

Club America 1 (Arlindo) Blades 0

I remember seeing a black and white photo in a football book I loaned from the Dronfield Library in the 1980s. Arlindo jumped up in the air celebrating his goal, Hodgy was lying flat on the ground. Frank Barlow and Barry Wagstaff were in the photo too.

Typical of Wendy and their fans, they like to celebrate failure!

Big problem was that Vic Mobley was injured and Spotty Sam took his place. Young had to cover his own position and E|llis's too. Great team man and one of the few pigs I never detested.

My dad , bless him , was a fanatical Wendy `ite , went all over with them , even drove the coaches for free .

He was very proud and always took pleasure in reminding me that Wendy were the first losing team (runners up ) to perform a lap of honour after the 1966 FA Cup Final .... you couldn't write it , although i just have .

The below photo is the AC Milan team for the 1965-66 season. Gianni Rivera was absent from the tournament because he was involved in preparations with the Italian squad for the 1966 World Cup, Karl Heinz Schnellinger was with the German squad, not sure why Brazilian Amarildo (who was a hero in the 1962 World Cup wasnt involved in the tournament at Chile. Paolo Maldini's dad Cesare did play in the match against us.



We finished Runners up in the tournament
