[Eggs]

Princess Margaret in 1966, and the Queen Mother, then Duchess of York in 1933

...was it really Princess Margaret? I always thought it was Princess Alexandra.

 

[Eggs]

The Queen, who, as we know has to turn up at all sorts of stuff from A to Z She has no Interest in what so ever and who like Her Dad and Gdad had this supposed to be big on duty thing going on
Has never been to a Cup final ( except the Bobby Moore one in 66 which was sort of mandatory ) since being disrespected by the rs who sang god save our gracious TEAM instead of Queen.
nothing changes, then as now

...I always remember Mark Wright lifting the trophy, clearly shouting to the watching world 'you effin beauty'. Total lack of respect and class.

I think you'll find it was Chelsea. And they were in bed in the hotel at the time.

Anyway, a little local history;

The Queen attended the 1976 and 2007 Finals but I agree on the point you are making.

Nah deffo the RS IN 1965.

Chelsea may have also in 1970, but that's just one set of bells copying another

One of the most under rated of our servants

My own personal thanks goes to.......

James Clement Baxter (1857-1928), the son of a Liverpool chemist, also a devout Catholic, and a man still revered and remembered on Merseyside as “The Good Doctor of Robson Street”. His service and dedication to his patients, mainly drawn from the poorest quarters – the impoverished, the orphans, the Irish immigrant community – remains legendary.
He is further honoured as a founding father of the great Everton Football Club – the man who put up an unsecured and interest-free loan to develop Goodison Park, club doctor, a director for some thirty years, and ultimately chairman of the club. He and Eugénie’s son, Cecil Stuart Baxter (1886-1954), followed him as club doctor and director – a link with the family that endured for over sixty years.

...Dixie looks physically awesome compared to the others. The only one who fills his shirt. Must've been a great side that one, perhaps even the greatest.
