M&B is written on one of the stands. Brummie brewery so can't be Turf Moor?

No, it's Villa Park. Burnley played two semi-finals at VP in the early sixties, one against Spurs, one against Fulham.

12.  That's Burnley not us! So 3-0 to Spurs.
Yes I agree in 1961

Agreed. Certainly Villa Park. It had me flummoxed as I didn't recognise the 'Villa' goalie or the centre half. Also, now it's been pointed out, I don't remember us ever wearing hooped socks in the '60's.

My guess would be Spurs.

De Kuip

12. Spurs 3 Burnley 0 - Correct. 1961 Cup Semi Fimal, 30 odd short of 70,000 in the crowd. Villa did not play in those socks at that time and used white numbers until much later in the decade. The centre forward is Bobby Smith and the centre half isn't Jimmy Dugdale.

Pete

12. Graham Leggatt scored Fulham's goal in 1962, that's not him.

Vila Lew

15. 1974 correct. Third round, 5th Jan 1974, all three teams won.

Final Villa Mastermind table of first answers:

1. SilhillVilla - Three times.
2. De Kuip - Bristol city, 5th Round 63,099
3. De Kuip - Norman Ashe England v W. Germany Schools 1959
4. SoundofVilladelphia - Stoke City in 2nd replay at Molineux
5. EIAdio - Doc Pace and Billy Myerscough
6. Davw W - Aldershot in 1964
7. CDBullyWeeFan/Louzie - Red shirts borrowed from Birmingham City
8. Doc Pace, scored hatrick for Sheff U in 1-3 defeat
9. EIAdio - Four times
10. SoundofVillaDelphia - Bramhall Lane, 5 times.
11. EIAdio - Peter Aldis
12. De Kuip - Spurs 3 Burnley 0, 1961 FA Cup Semi Final
