John Hollins in the background I think.

It is. Nowadays the copper would be suspended pending a court case. Reminded me of an incident a few years ago when there was a pitch invasion at Nottingham Forest's City Ground. Cloughie slapped a Forest fan round the head.

Liverpool at The Bridge. Just like the old stand in the background.

You can compare it with the current stand in Boyne's photo above.

Was at this game and wondered at the time why Micky Droy was the only Chelsea player wearing Aston Villa Home shorts! I assume our shorts weren’t big enough for him.

Yeah you would have thought that Le Coq Sportif would have been able to provide him with a pair of white shorts.

Bottom pic shows Micky v Brian Kilcline.  Now there was a battle !

Fans sitting in a partially demolished part of The Bridge watching us v Fulham on 27th Dec 1976.

The North Stand had been demolished and replaced by open terracing for standing supporters.

Bobby Tambling scored all four of our goals v Arsenal at Highbury today, 14th March 1964.

We won 4-2 in front of a low crowd of 25,513.

Norman, Norman, give us a wave.
