Jimmy Armfield was, in my opinion, the best co-commentator on BBC Radio.
An ex-England captain, who managed at the top level (e.g. Leeds United- when they were successful).
He loved the game, complimented all creative play, but never dramatically criticised a player, manager or team.
He was also a Manc...

A Denton lad.

If my guess of 68/69 is correct, it was over 63,000, so in 2025/26 terms, probably about 32,000

I thought that kit too dark to be the ‘60s. Not that being right or wrong about something like this really matters, one way or the other.
