I could have sworn Boro wore their usual red kit with white stripe in the semi....are you sure that's the game?

Looks maybe more like a UEFA cup game?

That's not Boro also not UEFA game he only played against Juventus and they played in black and white strip.

By the process of elimination and the unfamiliar goalkeeper I'm sticking with Mansfield LC Quarter Final (75-76)

There are blues. I saw them all identifying themselves and laughing on Mickey Francis's facebook page. I can't remember who they were but I think one of them might be Alfonso from Jam MCs. Might be wrong about that though.

I asked Fonso Buller.......he identified them with those names....most I know reckon they're reds...but I've never seen them b4. Long time ago.

Did you see it on the real Guvnors page or one of his many other accounts? Or the beer monsters?

By the power of google I've since discovered that the Mansfield goalkeeper in 75-76 was the bearded Rod Arnold. Aside from Dickie Guy I don't recall many other 70s keepers with beards.

He had the right idea, looking away from the pitch!

I think that’s a lass, that mate

Look way too young to be CC
much more likely to be on the car minding graft or sneaking in/three-quarter time kids just hanging around for mischief

I remember been at Bolton, there was a city fan nearly as big as giant haystacks.
He couldn’t get in via turnstiles so they opened an exit gate for him.
Probably 1978/80s

i remember this guy, has to be the same bloke he used to go to all the aways and got stuck in the turnstile at leicester

Really hope you’re right. I love that photo, and it will be instantly ruined if they turn out to be United.

I don't think this can be at Maine Road - the terraces were too high to be overlooked by the houses and the houses are wrong for the area. Perhaps Alexandra Park or Platt Fields?
