Call that a queue? Gillingham was all the way round the ground, plus what is here. I imagine York started at the Princess.

That's a good pitch...I can see some green.
Brilliant picture.

I remember that - Palace at home 1970, a few days after winning the League Cup. We lost, of course.

How did they play on that pitch?

With a grace skill and style, not matched by many of today's players on the grass carpets they play on.

I love this because this team is the City team what my Dad would have gone to watch.

What year was this?

What year was this?

I’m guessing mid to late 50’s. My Dad worked shifts (before I was born) but I know he went to as many matches as he could, would meet his brothers in the pub first then watch the match. He went to both Wembley finals in the 50’s. He always said Trautman was a better goalkeeper than Swift.
