Zentralstadion, Leipzig again.

On 15th Oct in 1887. Preston North End beat Hyde FC 26-0 in an FA Cup tie at Deepdale.

133 years later, it’s still the biggest winning margin in the history of English football.

14th Oct 1997: Jason Crowe was sent off after just  33 seconds on his Arsenal debut.  
Couldn’t they have added just a single second to match his shirt number.😀

Looking forward to a number of Rangers players celebrating in a similar way tomorrow.

Was a great result and performance yesterday. A very one sided game. I am of course biased!

This photo was taken at my first ever Scotland game back in May 1976.

1986 Rous Cup at Wembley. A Wed night game. The two captains, Ray Wilkins and Graeme Souness before kick off.

He played for a combined City United team v International XI captained by Jimmy Armfield.

Always thought he was a bit of a wimp, milking the broken neck the way he did.

Always liked watching Jorden. I remember him doing a diving header tackle at the foot of a defender at The Dell once for Saints!

Agreed. Joe Jordan was a ‘ no holds barred striker’. He was a player who you would most definitely want in your team, rather than playing against you.
I remember reading that Phil Thompson at his best, back in the mid 70s - early 80s hated playing against Jordan.
This was  for both Liverpool and England.

Alan Whittle of Everton watches on as Joe Corrigan Man City catches the ball  in the Div 1 game at Goodison on 29th Aug 1970.

Just liked the picture.

 The 1933 final was the first where the players, including goalkeepers, were issued numbers for identification. Everton won 3-0, with Deans scoring two of their goals.

One of the all time classic matches.
