I take your point , but its more likely to do with being relatively recent as opposed to 60 years ago when this was filmed.ClaretAndJew wrote:Playing the likes of those lads in the top division and yet people hark on about the Orient game like it's the only part of our history.

And birthday boy Colin McDonald in goal.........88 years young today.
Can't believe Mac allowed Winton to take that crucial penalty.

The good ol' Days.CleggHall wrote:Excellent film, a few years later United's teddy boys led by Pancho Pearson came to Turf Moor for an ugly confrontation. John Angus well and truly sorted out Albert Scanlon, Bob Lord was incensed and there was even fighting in Todmorden as Utd fans made their way home.
" Plus ca change" as they say in Tod (the French speaking quarter).
Always the case at Easter, though. Can't recall when three fixtures in 4 days stopped (could always check the history books,I suppose). One that always stands out for me was when we won promotion in 1973. We played away on the Saturday at Huddersfield, then at home two days later to Sunderland(won promotion), the following Friday down to Oxford, at home the next day to Brighton and then at home on the Tuesday to Luton. 5 games in 10 days, won them all and didn't concede a goal.Royboyclaret wrote:It was Good Friday, we played the following day home to Man City and lost 0-3 and again on Easter Moday losing 0-2 away at Man United.
