Look at the size of Gilbert ,yet he scored so many wonderful headers. Mainly thanks to the crossing of A Woodward.
He used to play for ziggersShots keeper is Glen Johnson
Some fantastic goal scores here
That tramlines kit is one of my favourites of all time. Several teams wore it, but let's not talk about the Coventry away variant (called "SH Brown" inhouse)...
More like Preston , ? or Spurs.We didnt play Man City between summer 1956 and Summer 1961
Golden Boys - both of them.Two of the very best.View attachment 127726
Love that position of the Ref- stood 50 yds away as though he did not want to be involved in anything.! Near the tunnel as well for quick exit.
Am trying to find out who were the opponents. It wont be Preston as we didnt play them between 1956 and 1968Love that position of the Ref- stood 50 yds away as though he did not want to be involved in anything.! Near the tunnel as well for quick exit.
Who are the opposition Silent.?---Is that Tom Finney -slightly obscured.?
All 3 played for Cardiff at the time around 1975-76…. Phil Dwyer on the right passed away recently & they paid tribute to him at our match at Cardiff.

The more Bert looks at that photo, the more nostalgic he gets.

It might just be a pile of dirt with concrete steps and a tin roof but it brings back so many happy memories.
It's just not the same any more.
Cant place the bloke on the right....
And a trench through the middle, that became a small river in very wet weather. Would go back in an instant.
Crown on Shirt may be a clue.?Am trying to find out who were the opponents. It wont be Preston as we didnt play them between 1956 and 1968
Certainly 90/91. Here's the Man U cup game from the year before. Adverts back against fencing.It must be a fixture from the 1990/91 season.
That was the first season in which we placed advertising hoardings on the grass and at the end of that season the Kop was changed to seating.
I also note a few Adidas and Umbro ‘manager’s coats‘ on the Kop (a late 80’s/early 90’s thing) and a relatively modern cctv camera.
Given how sunny it appears to be, and how full the South Stand is, it may be a photograph from the Liverpool match - opening game of the season.
Don't think it was the Leeds game as the big fence at the front of the Kop was still there (see below) and it's not in the photo. Must have been later in the season, anyone know when that fence came down?Certainly 90/91. Here's the Man U cup game from the year before. Adverts back against fencing.
I'd wager the game isn't Liverpool as it was a hot one. You'd have to have been mad to have been wearing a manager coat! (I loved mine) Could be the L**ds game? Would explain full South Stand.

Could have been Spurs in April - was one of the bigger attendances that season, I was on New South Stand that day and it was pretty full (including a few Spurs fans at the back of gangway A/B who quickly became very quiet when we pulled it back from 0-2 down )Don't think it was the Leeds game as the big fence at the front of the Kop was still there (see below) and it's not in the photo.

Good shout, the chair circled is in the right place at the Spurs game. Was that chair always there?Could have been Spurs in April - was one of the bigger attendances that season, I was on New South Stand that day and it was pretty full (including a few Spurs fans at the back of gangway A/B who quickly became very quiet when we pulled it back from 0-2 down )
*Edit, the 6 yard box on Bert 's original pic is also quite worn suggesting its not the Liverpool game but later on in the season too.
Obviously can't be Norwich
Good spot!Good shout, the chair circled is in the right place at the Spurs game. Was that chair always there?
(Yes I am bored at work)

Looks like Forest in the league (could have been the Oldham game in ZDS - that's not on the CBS Fox video). They were there for Sunderland. Even just watching that game for a few seconds has given me a headache!Don't think it was the Leeds game as the big fence at the front of the Kop was still there (see below) and it's not in the photo.

Next week - we analyse the position of Bryan Robson's table, speculate on the contents of the bottle, and wonder why no one else was allowed to use the table...Good spot!
Just time for you to go looking at all the matches from that season to examine the fences situation and chair location please
Seems like only yesterday, when I first went to the Lane 70-71,always stood straight behind the goal and as l was a small person stood behind the first crush barrier above the trench so had a great view. The only time I had to get out was when we played Newton Heath in October 71 it was so tightly packed in itAnd a trench through the middle, that became a small river in very wet weather.
