[PILTDOWN MAN]

That WAS why it was moved to the Sunday.

Are you thinking of something to do with admission prices, Sunday ttrading etc. hence the £1.90 for a teamsheet that also included admission to the ground?

You were at a wedding on the Sunday and listened to the commentary on a transistor radio.

Winner.....

For the first time ever Anfield hosted a football match on a Sunday.
Brighton, bottom of the First Division, visited Anfield and with The Sunday Observance Act still in place, once again supporters had to pay for a teamsheet in order to enter the ground.

First Super Sunday TV game.

Seems some people still perpetuate the myth that there was nothing before Sky and the Premier League!!

 

[8ace]

Would Liverpool/Everton have ever played on a sunday to avoid a clash with the National?
I can remember they used to kick off early (11 or 12) sometimes.

Additional trivia:

It was Phil Neal's birthday which is why they made him captain on the day - and then he missed that penalty!

.... and I was there!

The programme was full of how proud the club was of their travelling supporters - so one of them broke my mate's nose on the way out of the ground - Hi Jerry!

 

[The Wookiee]

Was it also the first time Liverpool got beat at home in the FA Cup ?
