If You Thought Our Defence Was Bad
« on: December 26, 2016, 08:20:47 PM »
For those of you that didn't see Thison 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.

Brilliant! It'd be the sack for half of those managers these days.

Cheers Dave. Draw at Wolves in those days wasn't a bad result. I'd quite like to see that Turf Moor score repeated.
