Was Colin Waldron's 2nd game for us.
Left back at Southampton the game before, then he finally found the no.5 shirt.

If it's the Chelsea match in November 1967...google stats 11v11 shows Bonetti in goal. It is definitely Eddie McCreadie at left back. 1-1 draw.
Morgan & Osgood were the scorers.
Line up : Thomson Waldron Latcham ;O'Neil Merrington, Harris; Morgan, Casper, Irvine, Bellamy, Coates. Dobson 12th man.

Was torrential in Bolton.

Read that Ipswich boss (then plain Alf) Ramsey spotted how to use an innocuous left winger called Jimmy Leadbitter, to good effect. Playing him as a deep lying winger lobbing balls over defenders for either Crawford or Phillips to take advantage of: this tactic hadn't been tried before and it took m...

Seem to recall Steve Helliwell (aka Zak Dingle) being carried onto the Turf by the Army Corp prior to a match with North End.

-IF- Sean was to leave (hopefully not) my initial thoughts were Crystal Palace being a likely destination for him (the way they are finishing the season could tempt them to make a change) Now though, I think Palace might be more inclined to look at Eddie Howe if Bournemouth drop down. My guess is Ed...

Didn't Newton play right back v West Germany in the quarter final. He scored England's second goal. Terry Cooper played left back.

Alan Mullery and Martin Peters
scored for England in that match.

Jack asked Alf Ramsey (after being first selected to play for England) 'why me?'
Ramsey replied "I don't necessarily pick the best players Jack....and because you don't trust Bobby Moore"

Tony Pulis, an early frontrunner for the Bristol City job.....

I see David Dunn is one of the favourites for the Barrow job....

A good opportunity now to change the format back to how it was by playing the semi finals at neutral grounds. There's more than enough modern stadias around. Keep the final at Wembley.

Is that Don Revie at Man City ?

Yes. Played in the 1955 & 1956 finals for City as a deep lying Centre Forward. Considered as a 'new' tactic in the day.

That ain't Alan Brown surely looks more like Alan Ball but not too sure.....any ideas?

The photo is another Alan Brown who played for Sunderland in the 80's.

Isn't this the Chelsea - Wolves game, 1976, featured this morning on 'The Big Match Revisited' on ITV4??
There was lots of space behind the goal...even a car parked in the middle of the space. This was ,of course, pre Stamford Bridge being totally refurbished.

What was the story regarding Derek Parlane? His name is shown as down to play for us on the Blackpool programme, Dec 1986.
He never played for us, as I recall, but didn't we nearly sign him?

claretfern

Made his debut before his 16th birthday. His cousin was Alan Oakes, City's left half.

Interesting article. Did the other candidate mentioned; John Duncan go on to have a decent managerial career?

He went on to Manage Chesterfield. He was their Manager when they reached the F.A. Cup Semi Final in 1997.
Sean Dyche has mentioned him as being one of his mentors, I seem to recall.

Northampton sub, Graham Carr is 'chatty man' Alan Carr's dad (as I'm sure many of you will know) I have a book at home 'Season in the Sun' charting Northampton's one season in the first division game by game. Quite a decent read. They were Managed by Dave Bowen, who was also combining that job with ...

I didn't think Summerbee scored any goals for Burnley. Could be wrong.

I'm sure you're right. He did fare better than Willie as I recall. It didn't seem to work out for Willie second time round.

Weren't they also supposed to sort something out today?

They were undecided after talks today. Meeting again on Monday to thrash it out

Just looked at the Clarets line up for that Southampton match: it was quite an experienced team, barring David Loggie at no.7

No World Cup Winner (& scorer) & 'Ten years ahead of his time' Martin Peters??......

The plan was to start with the 72/73 season through to 75/76 on the 50th anniversary, it was one that was started. But, given I've got some of it ready I am probably going to start doing it this summer given we are probably not likely to be going to football. Will look forward to that, many thanks.

Mark Noble has been at West Ham over 16 years, nearly 4 years longer than any other player either for West Ham or any other PL club.
Great answer fern ( I don't know whether you are another lady with good football knowledge, well done if you are, apologies if you're not)
