Negative 0-1 at HT to 4-1 Positive at FT in 1967

Rent a gob Clough....The sight of Alf Ramsey walking across the pitch alone to certain sack...Revie came in and it went seriously tits-up from there. England didn't quality for a WC until 1982, under Ron (safe pair of hands) Greenwood.

Ah yes - Tomaszewski "the clown". Whereas we had supposedly one of the world's best in goal and he fluffed the one save he needed to make.

We played them again a day or two later if I remember correctly (I rarely do). That’s what happened around Christmas time in those days. We were 3-1 up as I recall then Chivers got two late on to equalise.

Silent Blade, kindly confirm or correct, as you always helpfully do...

Yes

Funny you should mention Shilton, I saw him play a number of times and he was dog-tod each time...Funny that really...

Always rated Ray Clemence as highly as Shilton. Best I ever saw Shilton play was Len Badger's testimonial - made a few cracking saves that night. By Italia '90 his agility had gone and it showed.

One of the five Wendy keepers from 1966 to 1974 that was called Peter

I saw him play once against United, for Derby in 1991. We won 1-0 and Shilton was fantastic, defying United almost single handed in the second half until Hodges' late winner.

He was nearly 41 years old at the time

Didn't we win 5-1 at Notts còunty after going behind .seems to resonate in the ether of time

Dunno about that but we beat Halifax 5-1 at the Shay after going one down.

Yes

Team was Shilton, Madeley, Hughes, Bell, McFarland, Hunter, TC, Channon, Chivers, Clarke and Peters. Hector came on for Chivers in the dying minutes and nearly scored the winner

Would that team beat the present one? No I guess, fitness and all that shit, but they'd give you a better game to watch.
