Blades 3 Leicester 1 February 1962

[Silent Blade]

Pitch looks in good condition for February. Like the way Allchurch fooled the keeper (was it Gordon Banks?) to score a clever equaliser. Nice lob by Kettleborough and Allchurch's 2nd was a lovely finish!

Is this perhaps the earliest United game on which there is commentary, save perhaps for Pathe newsreels?

Commentator said the pitch was heavily sanded and there was a very strong wind, hence the wayward kicks by the keepers. Yes, it was Gordon Banks - commentator mentioned it after Len Allchurch's equaliser.

Three really nice goals there, great stuff.

Dont remember seeing anyone using this trick!
