Hope you had the matching scarf.if photo had been Park Lane and a lad with broken arm & rupert trousers that was me
Just did a bit of digging about the last pic, wish I hadn't.any idea when /what the last one was ?
Was thinking if on the pitch and night game.. maybe Hull, last home game in Div 2?
Bits of the pitch got dug up that night and taken home.
Well I’ll delete that pronto then....Just did a bit of digging about the last pic, wish I hadn't.
The people on the pitch are Goons.
It was after the game that Woolwich won the league in 71.
:mourfacepalm:
I also went to that match. When I got there the queues were ridiculous and clearly no point going to the end. Hanged around Park Lane and eventually the queues collapsed and it was everyone for themselves. The old bill just watched and we're making sure no one got hurt but no attempt to control the crowd. Everyone was pushing and you could not move but eventually got in.I was at that Goons match in 71. Went straight from school and queued in the Paxton. At 5pm, the queue was snaking up and down the road several times and we were directly opposite the gate but several lines back. When the gate opened, the lines completely collapsed and we got straight through and in almost immediately.
Lots of Gooners scattered about but don't remember it kicking off anywhere ? Left when Kennedy (?) scored, couldn't bear to watch. Jeez, that was 50 years ago !!!!!
One of the best fa Cup games I've been to.
It's not the '84 final, the stands had fences up.Going by the clothes of the people on pitch, I would say its probably UEFA final. Anything earlier than that would be Flair City, surely.
Think he ment 72 final.
Great pic! Yids!![]()
I’ll even it up slightly from my earlier photo Tottenham take over the clock end
I wasn't allowed to go, but ended up in a neighbour's house, whose brother and dad were gooners and we listened to the game on the radio. First time they really broke my heart.I also went to that match. When I got there the queues were ridiculous and clearly no point going to the end. Hanged around Park Lane and eventually the queues collapsed and it was everyone for themselves. The old bill just watched and we're making sure no one got hurt but no attempt to control the crowd. Everyone was pushing and you could not move but eventually got in.
Left at the final whistle devastated at the result but will never forget going to that match.
