I need to say that those pictures from the Man Utd game at Old Trafford are amazing.

vibrant colour of two fantastic looking kits worn by 'maverick' (?) players of that era.

Very picturesque, great thread.

I bet the groundsman had a heart attack. Get them off the chuffin square.
 
27th April 1971, a Thursday night if I am correct? The first really important game I can remember attending. Both SUFC & Cardiff City had a chance of promotion. The only seats we could get were in the Cricket Pavilion miles from the near touchline, & we won 5-1. That meant that a victory on Saturday against Watford would see us up. A glorious sunny day on the Kop & we won 3-0, in the coming weeks we bought their winger Stewart Scullion ready for Div 1. Then were the days Hodgkinson/Hope, Badger, Helmsley, Flynn/Barlow Colquhoun, Addison/Hockey, Woodward, Reece, Dearden, Currie, Salmon. Plus John Harris & Cec Coldwell!

At least I have some good memories, its just a shame the best ones are so far away. Outside of Brayford & maybe Sharp [& they are not certs] no one else would get near the team.

Kids of today moaning about selling the likes of Murphy are clueless.

Another from 'that' Manchester Utd. game:

Ted Hemsley (out of focus) and - I think - John Flynn? The Man. U player in the middle is Willie Morgan? Don't know the one on the left.

Tommy O'Neill, Ted Hemsley, Willie Morgan and Stewart Scullion

What's written on the little coffin?!

That might be the coffin that United supporters were allowed to parade around the pitch before the cup match with the Posh. The coffin had the names of the teams that we had beaten in the earlier rounds. Different altogether in those days, no fan segregation and amiable chats with the opposition supporters. The old "southern" chap who stood next to us had traveled miles just to see Joe Shaw play.
