Orrible stuff, a mix of orange sand, grit and napalm, you didn't see Paul Clark rolling about like a baby when landed on it though

What about Leeds Lee Chapman vs Spurs? smashed his face on the stuff,he just got up blood everywhere and carried on too.

Looks like [MENTION=561]Insider[/MENTION] in the blue and white stripes in the top left quarter of the pic?

Don't think it is, used to go with him around that time and can't remember him ever actually wearing a shirt over anything.

Could be wrong though

 

[gripper stebson]

Where are me and Poosy then?
I never remember your chin being that big either!

I think Paul is just behind me to the right looking to the side. Looking for you possibly!

oooh, me with long hair standing next to my beardy old man.

cool

You're "farmer Mick", as we kindly called you as knuckleheaded teenagers? My friend and I used to stand behind you for a good few years - I'm cursed not to find myself in this snap yet. I remember smoking one of your super-long snouts and I thought it was made of straw.
You're down the front of the north now aren't you? I still smile warmly in your direction.

I never heard the touch-line, warm-up, non-grass bit called a running track before - thought poster was confusing with Withers.
I think's its called red-clay, similar to French open tennis courts?

JCL? Hardly, Boxing day '67 was first game for me .....

I wasn't mistaking it for Withdean, my friend. The point I was making was that one of the magical early memories I have of the Goldstone was how green the pitch looked next to the reddish perimeter. I thought it was fantastic. I close my eyes now and can see it and smell that aroma of the mid-70s Goldstone - from the Chicken run, I might add. The West Stand probably had a prawn sarnie smell.

What's the point of going to a football match that you are not going to be able to see?

I 'see' your point...I normally wear contact lenses.

 

[burrish-gull]

Yep can see myself, my mates standing behind me, was this an FA Cup game Vs Barnet ?

I was merely pointing Mick out ....(Im not that fipping old )

No disrespect to Mick if he's reading this ....

 

[Lawro's Lip]

Note the lack of people holding up mobiles too.

Reception in the stadium is still no better!

I was most impressed with your arrow usage.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I should have thought of that possibility..........

 

[banjo]

I'm looking a little 'chinny'!

I did think you were pointing yourself out.

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

Which part of the North is that? The centre or the right (if viewed from the pitch?). I'm assuming it's the centre as it is quite full - also if it was the right I should be able to see myself. Amazing how few people wore replica kits back then, isn't it.

amazing how so many wear them now WHY

There are not that many people wearing BHA hats and scarfs in the picture, good question about the replica shirts.
