I remember that advert in the build up to Argentina 1978.

The great man has just scored a brilliant goal against Belgium in the 1980 European Championships.

Ghostly image of Hampden Park in the snow

Think I've seen this on here previously ? No matter, good image

The Rising Sun. Great picture, the massive crowd tightly packed on the Hampden terraces.

A crowd of 133,245 ‘officially’ saw the game in April 1964.

Add 25,000 -30,000 to that, for the true attendance

Team Bury FC gain promotion from tier9 , having been kicked out of the EFL 6 years ago after they were f**ked over by an unscrupulous owner. First steps back…the crowd today 8700!

Well done to them!😀

A packed Hampden terracing watches Real Madrid v Eintract Frankfurt in the 1960 European Cup Final.

The 127,000 spectators who saw Real win 7-3 certainly got their money’s worth that night!

Scotland v England on 2nd April 1966. England won 4-3 in front of ‘officially’ a crowd of 123,052.

Add easily 25,000 - 30,000 for the real crowd.

Sunderland's Jimmy Montgomery makes a stunning save from Leeds United's Peter Lorimer in the 1973 FA Cup final at Wembley

Paul Reaney's cross from the right found Cherry at the far post, his header was pushed away by Montgomery but only as far as Lorimer six yards out and it seemed he must score. But the keeper had sprung to his feet and threw himself towards the ball, somehow managing to turn it onto the underside of the crossbar and when it bounced back down the still-grounded Cherry could not turn it home and Malone was there to clear.

BBC commentator David Coleman had already announced the equaliser and had to quickly correct himself, deciding it must have hit Jim Montgomery. The keeper was not given the credit for his amazing save until the replay was shown.
