I used to have loads of Buchan's football monthly's from the 60s, unfortunately they disappeared in one of my home moves decades ago.

😥

Edit. Just noticed that date 1930. I wonder how old he was (Buchan) in the 1960s ? I presume the magazine wasn't just using the name.

Is that the incident when Best kicked the ball as it Left Bank's hands ?

Why yes @The Rising Sun I do believe it is. Good eye!

 

 

Colin Barrett scores to put Nottingham Forest 2-0 up v Liverpool in the first leg of the European Cup, First Round Match. Sept 1978. The second leg was a 0-0 draw, with Peter Shilton having an outstanding game.

Queuing outside Hampden Park.

Can't recall what the description said, but I think it's been posted before mebbe ?

Edit. Just noticed the description at the bottom.

Not that I'm any wiser but I'm sure it'll mean something to our regulars ,!

Great picture. I think it has been posted before. The Scottish Cup Final replay from 1963. Rangers beat Celtic 3-0. Ralph Brand scored 2 and Davie Wilson the other. Crowd was given as 120.273 but there was probably more in the ground.

This replay wasn’t an all ticket game. Some of the spectators didn’t get in until midway through the first half.

Boyne has posted the match information above.

The Rising Sun:Great picture. Cheers for posting. Doesn’t matter if it’s been previously posted.

Ah Wembley in the early June of 1977!

The 1923 FA Cup Final would eventually take place after the crowd left the pitch.

It’s from a Millwall v Newcastle 4th Round FA Cup match in January 1957.

Well done Vitesse Arnhem. Great tributes.

A French League game in the 1950s. ‘Up go the heads.’

Scotland v England at Hampden Park on 25 April 1970. The score was 0-0 and the crowd was 137,438. Behind John Greig was Jim Cruickshank and behind him was Tommy Gemmell. I admit I didn't recognise and had to look up the teams. He played for Hearts. I'm not sure who was behind Hurst. Brian Labone? A great Scotland kit.

Scotland v Zaire, 1974 World Cup. Probably the best Scotland squad to go to a World Cup. Jardine and McGrain: two great fullbacks.

Great picture. Could well be Brian Labone.

Look how packed those Hampden terraces were during that 1970 Scotland v England game. Add 20-25,000 for a truer attendance!
