I'm biased but have to say that this is beautiful.

Not a historical picture of a QPR away support anyway.

Wembley 1981. England v Scotland.

The FA secretary Ted Crocker had tried to ban the travelling Scotland supporters, unsucesfully a s you can see from the banner in this picture.

I remember a guy who lived near me, paid £11 for a ticket.

In 1981, £11 was what it had cost me for a pair of Puma football boots. Well, what it had cost my old dear !

I was at that game. Scotland won 1-0 with a penalty by John Robertson. Loads of Scotland fans in the ground. I had been at Wembley six years earlier when England won 5-1. Stewart Kennedy was in goal for Scotland and had an awful game. That was my first trip to Wembley. I went with my Dad. He managed to get a couple of tickets. Not sure from where or whom.

 Ipswich Town had beaten Arsenal 1-0 in the 1978 FA Cup Final

It should have been by a far bigger margin than 1-0,

Ipswich Town midfielder John Wark hit the woodwork on three separate occasions !

A brilliant goal from Danny Ings gave Southampton a narrow but deserved win over Jose Mourinho's Tottenham.

Goodison 1970. Their old and new Main Stands standing (excuse the pun) beside each other !

I know it's Cantona and Man Utd, but I always thought this was a great piece of advertising by Nike back in 1996.

Your pic of the Maldini poster reminded me of it.

If I remember correctly there was a similar post on a wall near the Bridge. On it was the the caption: "'66 Was a Great Year for English Football. Zola was born with a picture of the great man on the cross of St. George. If I can find a picture will post here.

Hampden Park.

 

A great view of Ibrox.

Opps sorry about size of above picture. I know Ronnie Radford's goal v Newcastle is iconic, however...

John Motson has gone on record in stating that was the game that gave him his breakthrough as a football commentator at the bbc.
