Going to be honest, Ive just found this in my loft havent got a clue how I ended up with it,but its going on ebay. but does anyone know anything about the game? Why it was played and what was the score?

[PeterWithesShin]

We won 2-1.

Does that mean we were World Champions? I'm pretty sure that's how it worked in those days. Midlands team wins friendly against Commies = World Champions.

Are you sure that wasn't just Albion?  Sounds like the kind of thing they would come out with.

That comes from a headline after Wolves had beaten Honved in the mid-1950s and led to L'Equipe coming up with an outline for the European Cup a few days later.
