Signing reveal 1960s style
A new signing arrived at Burnley in September 1968 - no reveal video, no interview, we announced it with this photograph.

Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
All except Lord Bob are bang on trend for the time… bottom jacket button undone, slim tie Harry Potts tie bar is top notch. The days before American sportswear fashion took over, the polo shirt and Yale University top had arrived for youngsters and the first plastic (casual) trainers were soon to follow.
Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
What struck me was that none of the suits looked stylish or properly fitted the person. Material not great either. How things have moved on!

Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
Moving away from fitted suits, that had been the fashion…. Saville Row was the mod look… we are heading towards the casual look… off the peg suits… developing into the bell bottoms and kipper collars/toes in the next couple of years.

I don't know either, but it looks as if his head has been photoshopped !!!!
Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
It's Bill Harvey, Grimsby's manager at the time.

Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
Bill Harvey only lasted a season at Grimsby, after some key players were sold to balance the books ... then worked for Chelsea, scouting their future opponents, Northampton Town and finished as a Coach/Physio at Peterborough ...

Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
Someone has answered it that it’s the Grimsby manager. He was there because he’d had to give Doug a lift over.

Bottom jacket button undone still applies now, probably always will, one of those classic rules.elwaclaret wrote: ↑Thu Jun 22, 2023 12:19 pmAll except Lord Bob are bang on trend for the time… bottom jacket button undone

Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
Doug had a sweet left foot and his passing was so accurate
Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
I remember seeing him score directly from a corner, CFS/LS corner. I think it would be around 67/68.
Great player
Great player

Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
Don’t think he even played in that run other than a sub appearance.

Re: Signing reveal 1960s style
He did come on as a sub, always thought it went straight in....no big screen action replays then....I know I was right about getting Colin's autograph though kept it for years!ClaretTony wrote: ↑Thu Jun 22, 2023 9:36 pmDon’t think he even played in that run other than a sub appearance.
