Lots of crowds over 60,000
Liverpool street station 1951
I find the old pictures of the stadium through the decades fascinating. Growing up I thought the 1981 West Stand was the dogs bollocks - it was very stylish for it's time with the double level of boxes. Only held 6,900 seats however - which I didn't realise at the time, thinking it looked cool, so it must have been massive. Love the new stadium, though part of me wishes we'd just replaced the West Stand with something huge that would have got us to 50k, and kept the rest.Good chance I'm in that photo. View wasn't as good as the shelf, but looking at a full shelf from there was fantastic.
Glenn Hoddle is Peter Purves?!You're Peter Purves?
I just wanted to add that of course I know a lot of you have already communicated with Mrs P, and I didn't wish to come across as being TFC 'spokesman/woman' (now, that would be a poll) but rather I was hopefully speaking for the Great Unwashed, as it were. You know who you are.He obviously wanted to be closer to the action...
Welcome back. Whilst I don't usually like speaking for all, I would like to think everyone on here hopes you are doing as best as possible, given everything.
Just read this, hope you and situation are ok (or as alright as could be)Thank you lovey, it's not been the best of times but I've had a lot of support and a trip away has helped. Home tomorrow and looking forward to the Brighton game.

November 1990... We won 2-1... I wanna say Lineker with both... (but promise I didn't look it up!!)The Norwich game could be either February 1990 or November 1990
The photo is taken from the Paxton end so sorry but technically you are not in it. I was 13 then and stood on the east lower park lane end.November 1990... We won 2-1... I wanna say Lineker with both... (but promise I didn't look it up!!)
I was in the Paxton that night... So technically, I'm in that photo!
Bristolyid - why the disagree?This reminds me of the time I did the tour of the old stadium and Robbo was the host. I had been interjecting comments as we were going round (couldn't help myself). When he related the story about getting kicked in the mouth by Chrissie in the final, I said that the nurse at the London Hospital Dental surgery was the sister of one of my friends, Robbo said he thought I was going to say that I actually had the tooth!
Ain’t that the truthYou know you're old when Allen Neilsen and a Brillo pad Pony kit are RETRO!!!

There were a load of flags and banners in the corner that day.
