Anyone out there collect old matches and highlights , I have thousands of games ,I am always looking to exchange footage on DVDs , 1960 -1980s . British and European games .
Great stuff. Won that game, and beat them at their place (Ayresome Park) 2 days before. The crowd for St James was well over 50,000. We got promoted that season. I was at the game we clinched promotion over Bolton (The mighty Wyn and Fanny lee both played for Bolton that day) The crowd was about 60,000. Jim Iley was my fav player that season. The manager Joe Harvey was so impressed with Wyn and Fanny lee he wanted to buy both but the board said you can have one not both. He chose Wyn as all Newcastle fans know, but what would we have been with both if not for the meanness of the board
How times change. I don’t honestly remember now but there is a fair chance I was in the Popular End for this. I went to most home games that season. The pitch though with the hay bales. 😂😂. Great video.
My first season as a supporter. A promotion season I think. Was at my parents home for Christmas so wouldn’t have seen this one. I can recognise about half of the NUFC team. Standard of play doesn’t look bad considering the atrocious conditions.
@@Stevo-cc4wl Attendance? As for shirt numbers, substitutes came in later in the 1960s and there was one until c. 1990 in England. In Scotland there were two in the 1970s and most teams did not field a 13. Subs were 12 and 14. The Meadowbank/Livingston 13 shirt in 1979 was worn by one of the younger supporters as a gift.
We were in the same class, remember being at this match, if memory serves me correct, 9 of the Chester le Street team came from the Grammar School and you were the youngest on the team
Derek played 17 games for Sunderland between 1964 and 1972, mostly as an understudy to Jimmy Montgomery. He subsequently played for Vancouver Royals, Charlton Athletic and Brighton and Hove Albion. He died on 2nd May 2024 aged 75
Yes. aggregate score 4-3. Nine members of the team came from Washington Grammar school, only Coin Todd from a Chester-le- Street school and Peter Holbrook, who scored all 3 Chester-le-Street goals in the final were not from Washington Grammar school.
@@keithfelton Superb Keith! I'm glad you told me you were the right back...that lad who gave away the penalty at the beginning could've broken the fella's leg with that challenge! I'm in my 60's so still appreciate football was a contact sport but blimey....
