Post by: dave shelley on December 26, 2016, 08:20:47 PM: For those of you that didn't see This (https://www.facebook.com/SkyBet/?hc_ref=NEWSFEED&fref=nf)on a Facebook feed. I'm sure I was at our game as a kid but, can't fully remember. Ours was one of the normal scores. You have to scroll down a bit. First division scores on Boxing Day 1963.
