I'm not that old and I don't do fun...
Had to look it up. Should have worked it out with a bit of thought (don't do thinking either). Referee's name would have been a minor laugh in modern times.
It was a football association 11 from memory but can't remember the score

you could have some fun here, he doesnt have a wiki entry yet
I’m guessing he’s dead, and every now and then I do like to demonstrate a little respect. But not often, admittedly.

I've hired a car from Marco Polo airport so we can stay just outside (11km approx) Udine after match. It was quite cheap altho I'm waiting for the hidden extras.
VDV will play there and shine
I’ve read too many Google reviews and have been spooked by them.
we have an annual policy for when we hire cars on hols etc. It's saved us loads. You'll ask me what it is now but I've forgotten
Very low attendance too.
Huge variation between biggest and smallest crowd that double winning year. Anyone know why? Stadium works? Or just not the interest in some matches?
Highest attendance was against West Ham. Maybe they are long term rivals after all!! Who knew.
The days when we played winning and attractive football, when we could field more or less the same starting 11 for every game and the most 'exotic' signings came from across the border.1961 FA Charity Shield - Wikipedia
No advertising, squad numbers or names on shirts; as Danny Blanchflower famously replied to the dignitary who asked why we didn't have our names on tracksuits, because "we know each other".
I wasn't around NL at the time of The Double (didn't come over until 1962), but I know my history
it was only when they started playing at Wembley 1974 that it really got a lot of exposure. I can't remember a single one before the infamous Keegan and Bremner shirt episode. Apart from Jennings scoring in 67 v MUFC and that's not a memory just a known fact. 12th Aug I imagine a lot of people were on hols and even if you werent youd save your money for the next league game and not a meaningless friendly. Just seen the first 2 Aug matches at home were biggies - Spam and Goons, far more attractive games.
all 3 big London derbies were 65,000 or so. Even Fulham got 56,000
FA cup 4th round v Crewe - 63,000!!
You can say that again!The days when we played winning and attractive football, when we could field more or less the same starting 11 for every game and the most 'exotic' signings came from across the border.

Would have liked to have gone to this and a few days before we play bayern so worth going to that as well. Nice little drive through europe.
You can see the path to victory. We took it more seriously than Woolwich today and we'll be taking it more seriously than PSG too.
