That must have been a difficult walk for you....In the Stretford End with Utd mates when Denis Law back heeled that goal.! Managed to contain myself,and we all walked back to Chorlton in complete silence.Almost felt sorry for them.
Funny you shud mention franny running bobby moore ...a couple of years later dec 1970 i think Bell did the same thing; u tube footage is pretty good..you can see that westhams manager (greenwood?) had told moore to keep a close eye on bell,it looks as tho moore is actually trying to man mark him.Bell just made the england captain look stupid, he was two steps ahead,every time...on one occasion The King sidesteps moore like a kipper,leaving the england captain tackling fresh air...moore is actually seen in the footage straying into midfield to mark Bell,but time and again Bell just waltzes round him making the centre back look slow and cumbersome....makes me think either moore was over rated.....or Colin Bell was SERIOUSLY under rated.....
..Back to sid james park 68, were the newcastle fans in good humour,or was there any violence...id heard 20k City were there that day,what makes you say 27k?..on my last trip to newcy i had a chat with an old boy on their executive suite security after the match, he went all misty eyed when i mentioned 68 and said City took 20k that day
Frankenstein was a regular in those days and would often engage in battle with another partc inflatable whose name escapes me now....Oldham last game of the season one year. We climbed over the fence in with the blues. I remember loads of inflatables at the match. Especially a full size viking and Frankenstein' s monster!!
I remember him bossing a trex away at walsall one year!! might have been when gleghorn went in goal?? memorys not the same anymore ;)Frankenstein was a regular in those days and would often engage in battle with another partc inflatable whose name escapes me now....
Remember that match.Crammed in behind the away goal,1nil up and all fine and dandy,nipped to bogs after 20 mins,came back 5 mins later and it had all changed fod the worse.Walsall had equalises,Dibble out cold on the turf in front oc us,gleghorn takes the gloves to go in goal...andy saville runs riot on his walsall debut,former rag i think,ends 3-3 draw.I remember him bossing a trex away at walsall one year!! might have been when gleghorn went in goal?? memorys not the same anymore ;)
