The fear and trepidation that day had to be experienced to be believed, what a day out that was!

Proper fixture pile up !!

I was at the game first match after the terrace ban and best laugh and sing song after in the White Hart think there was only about 12,000 at the game Plymouth bought a few down as well.

I don't know what is being said but great footage of our game against Dynamo Moscow in 1945. Lots of military in the crowd.

When Dynamo Moscow played Rangers at Ibrox they wore blue there as well. Rangers had to borrow shirts from Queens Park.
