Sometime in the 60s the club produced it's first ( I believe) program with colour pictures in it. I think this one and one of Osgood were in that program. If I recall correctly it was more expected ( obviously) than the normal ones and raised a record amount for the club.

Probably a game against United, but I'll look it up

Think Peter Osgood was one of the first players to have sideburns. Real big f**kers. Couldn’t grow them meaelf, so glued banana skins to me cheekbones, and waited till they turned black

Think Ossie and Malcom MacDonald were pioneers or sideburn action. Polar opposite Ron Harris. Short back and sides to the day he dies

You could have carpeted a small bedroom with his sideburns.

That is just terrible. How could anyone ever think, that would be a good look?

Is it just the side parting that you don't like? . Otherwise it's quality?

A very young Ossie and a very young Venables.

Trevor Hockey. I think.

Ian Hutchinson prepares to take a long throw.

And in it goes!

In action against Man Utd at Old Trafford and The Bridge in 1969 and 1970 respectively.

Recovering from injury on The Bridge terracing. May 1971.

A break in training.

Correct. A true hard man from an era when they were plentiful. Progressed from sideburns to a full beard to give himself a proper caveman look. Sadly died in his early 40s.

Wahey. Triple Kenny Burns in the quote.

He was a hard b@stard, but also - under Clough - became a quality CB. Won 2 European Cups, after all.

Birmingham City had some handy lads. Noel Blake, Mark Dennis, Tony Coton, Mick Hartford. Think there was one more because they were known as the gang of five..
