What a strange day to think of that game.

The studs were the old leather type that were nailed on to the boots and Alison got the back room staff to remove a layer of the leather from all the studs.
This had the effect as the game wore on that the city players had extra grip as the nails started to protrude as the remaining leather wore down.
I don't know if anybody else heard that story?

I very much doubt it.
Screw in stud boots were the order of the day by then, most first division players wore Adidas "Santiago" boots in 1967/8.
