Good article about Laurie on the Beeb website today : https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58822497

I am going to shamelessly lift one of the images, of Cunningham at Orient in 1975. Orient was my paternal grandfather's team  :-)

From 1967. Arsenal's Peter Storey. Goodness knows what he is wearing. Looks like the designer was having a laugh.

He’s dressed up as a Harlequin. 

Scotland v Wales at Anfield in 1977. A very disputed penalty. Joe Jordan up against Joey Jones. I remember watching the match.

Remember watching it too. Live football was rare back in those days. I watched highlights on YouTube recently and that footage took me back.   A very disputed penalty,to say the least!

In fact, looking at that picture it was a free kick to Wales.

John Toshack and Joey Jones before kick off, Wales v Scotland, Oct 1977.
 Though that was a great Wales strip back then!😀

Looks like the Kings Park End of Hampden.  Some photo and 132,500 is, by any standards, some crowd !

Think Hampden’s  official capacity was 134,000 in 1962. It remained that until the summer of 1973 or 1974.
