Just found this thought it was a nice one to remember two of our legends on Christmas Day
 


He debuted his white boots in the charity shield game at the start of the 70/71 season (8/8/70 - beat chelsea 2-1) and we played west ham away on 5/9/70 and beat them 2-1 (Husband and Royle - Moore for them).
We played west ham away in 71/2 on 28/8/71 and lost 1-0 - Clyde Best for them. Bally and Moore were in both matches and almost certainly both captains.
Ball had the £2k contract with hummel to wear the white boots but he said they were like cardboard and rubbish - so had the apprentices paint his adidas boots white. It rained one day and the paint came off - with a hummell rep watching so they cancelled his contract.
These don't look like real hummel boots to me - certainly older than 4 weeks from 8/8/70 to 5/9/70 - so I'm guessing these were adidas boots in 71/72 season. Did he wear them for over a season? I'm a bit young to remember.
 
Either 1969/ 70 season as Labby was injured, in the championship run in - Also did Bally keep the captaincy at the beginning of the 70/71season?
In 1969-70 season WHu away was in December and Labone's played in that one so would have been captain. Ball as captain would have been next two seasons imo.
