I remember that day very well. Just a couple of days after the cup final win. Corners couldn't be taken because fans were on the pitch as there was too many fans. Never before or after have I seen the area around The Dell so busy. Must have been closer to 40,000 than the 32,000 capacity with thousands locked out.

If I look closer I may be able to see myself in that picture, I would have been top right in that picture!

Game ended early and the score was 2-2.

Can you remember playing football on a pitch like this?   I can, played on a pitch like this many times. And I usually played it goal!

Fifty Years ago today Rangers beat Celtic 1-0 in the Scottish League Cup Final. The only goal was scored by a 16 year old Derek Johnstone. It was a header following a cross from Bud (Willie Johnston)

Thank you. A great crowd. Hampden is very different now. Standing behind Jim Craig is David Hay. So two future Chelsea players on the pitch.

My old man and his mates were there. And very probably, most of the male members of my family were there.😀

In the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, Pele took the PUMA KING to another level, wearing a specialized version of the boot that featured a yellow PUMA formstrip instead of the classic white.
Pele apparently stopped play at one moment in the finals and tied his boots just so that the camera could get a good look at them.
