That film used to be found in the Video Archive part of the forum but based on a quick look it doesn't seem to be there any more for some reason

Remember a visit to Leeds road Huddersfield 1964 old 2nd division,we had yellow shirts on that day.Brilliant footage. When football was football. Yellow shirts? Whats that all about?
A brilliant find and excellent quality as well. So much to take in the clothing, the transport, the training, the hair styles and much more.
The chap watching in his old fashioned crash helmet was superb. The FA Cup Final was out of sequence as it was from the previous season.
Different times, not a bloody mobile phone in sight and the press camera men had to really work for their money in those days.
Correct as Dave Whelan broke his leg in 59-60 season ,doncha know

White Hart Lane (1960 I think)
Wonderful, and very apt. A reminder that the game is nothing without the fans.

Did I hear somewhere that he was some sort of grenade throwing champion prewar in Germany?As was common in those days, there were more shot sof the crowd than of the play.
What struck me was how Bert (in both Spurs & Leeds games) threw the ball out where possible - most keepers booted it upfield then. His throw was that of a handball player (which Bert had been) and I have never seen any other keeper do this kind of throw.
Just noticed that the Spurs programme right at the beginning states:
'Price Twopence' not 'Price Two Pence'. 'Twopence' was, to us old codgers, 'tuppence' and 3d. was 'threppence' and earlier 'thruppence'. All penny expressions were pronounced as one word: e.g. 'fourpunce, sixpunce' etc.
None of yer "three pee" then.
(Old codgers are excused reading this guff)

That Yellow/Maroon kit should be revived

Fcuk these pitches of today ......football's not meant to be played on grass, for crying out loud ...... let's get back to those real pitches - 50 tons of mud and sand - sort the men from the boys pretty quickly!
