Look at the state of Burnden on that. Absolutely rammed Loved it. Was 13 and remember it like yesterday. The local hoolie, Winty, paraded an array of Wolves scarves, hats and flags round our estate that night 😁 Fair play to the dogheads, they packed the Embankment that day Just looked. Official attendance was £35K. Aye, of course. Fair amount of undeclared cash went into a few folks' pockets I'd say Quote

As Zico says keep posting mate Don't care if you've posted before. I watch them all and am very grateful for your work. So many are games that I never thought I'd see again particularly from the Greaves era Quote

How good was Peter Thompson , I used to love watching him, he joined us in 1973, I am convinced I saw him doing the ' Cruyff turn ' before Cruyff " invented it in 1974", Heard/sung it at least once today.

I had a ticket in the Burnden Terrace for that Randomly it was in my pocket the Friday of the weekend of the game Found out when down the pub paying for a pint When I woke up the next day it wasn't in my pocket Rang up ticket office to explain and was told couldn't get another as it was for the terrace and the game was sold out Devastated obviously So my mum rang up and gave them an earful till they eventually relented and found a spare one on the front row of the lever stand Was hoping to hop over the fence into the BT but too many cops stood about Quote
Krimzon Posted February 24, 2025 Posted February 24, 2025 That would have been a travesty to miss out on the game . Capacity was 20500 approx attendence was 19500 ish, Villa returned 900 tickets , probably because of the crap away end having only half the pitch visible . I was in the Burnden Terrace and it was rammed . Not sure if it was this game but saw a "scouse hot leg" twice on Burnden , think one was the Swindon game when it was shoulders only . Brilliant game tho and well deserved win , just felt like we were indestructable at that time. Watching it back some really "industrious" challengers that would never fly now ....30 years later , holy shit ! Quote
gonzo Posted February 24, 2025 Posted February 24, 2025 Bizarrely sat in the lever end with my mum for that while my dad still went on paddock. Quote
Krimzon Posted February 26, 2025 Posted February 26, 2025 Not the greatest picture but still worth watching again . Cant remember why but I watched this in a pub in Whalley ... Quote

paulhanley Posted March 1, 2025 Posted March 1, 2025 Not sure I'd ever seen Bob Latchford's goal in the infamous 1977 League Cup Semi Final Second Leg at Burnden. A gate of 50000 plus and what a let down. If this goal is on tape you wonder if the whole game is stored away somewhere as well. Quote
Krimzon Posted March 1, 2025 Posted March 1, 2025 Maybe we should start a seperate thread for BWFC Hooly stuff . There is loads out there and I know lots have posters have many many stories to tell . There is a book "Walking Down the Manny Road" which is a good read apart from our mentions in other books . Anyway just stumbled across this ... Quote

Seen it a couple of times over the years, it was featured briefly on a Granada programme 'The rock and goal years'. What I'd love to see is Whatmore's equaliser in the first leg. It may have been shown on the local news the day after and perhaps be locked away in a draw somewhere. Quote

Got it in my mind that the thought was that a lot of the tapes of games from the 70s/80s were kept at the old Granada studios opposite The Opera House, and that they either ended up in a skip when the place was cleared out pre-demolition, or (hopefully) some nerd took them home Not talking about Kick Off or On The Ball stuff, more the brief highlights of midweek games shown on the said local news Quote
