Someone's sat in my season ticket seat there;)lol
 

We were proud and defiant in defeat mate!!! Cracking team that fluffed its lines on the big day...not a lack of effort or bottle. Streaky rebound for Astle set up a brilliant shot he would not do again if he lived to 100. Their manager was clever and stifled us.

Brilliant, i'd never heard about that. Shows how much stronger the connection between fans and players was back then.

we didn't help ourselves as per usual.

PROUD? I wasn't; I was absolutely gutted, I've never been so gutted before or since.

Went to work Friday, left the Greenhills in Allerton after last orders Friday evening, drove down over night, did the morning pubs at Smithfield market, played footy in Hyde park - Missed Clay/Ali. Saw the game...I still can't listen to 'Congratulations' by Cliff that they played after the game.
We found our car (a Hillman Imp ) drove North a bit, said 'K It, and found a pub somewhere. I was still that gutted it took me all night to get 2 or 3 pints down...I just couldn't stomach it. We got home a god knows what A.M. on Sunday morning
Get up and go to an open top parade...I should 'kin Coco.

I always thought that was '66, not '68?

That was why I missed him then, I was gutted about missing him twice as well.
Still turned up for the last game of the season Vs Fulham where we pasted them could've been 10. Then nobody would go home until the players came back out.
This weekend we might go home if they DO come out.
