    Only 39,000 at this Leicester replay, played in the afternoon because we didn’t have floodlights then.

    Didn't Leicester lose in the final that year to a double winning Spurs team?

    I don't know how both teams were allowed to get away with having the same colour shirts and shorts.
    Must have been very confusing in the 60s.

    My early memories are all in black and white - the few that predate us renting a colour tv at some point in the mid-70s.

    Old football really was rubbish.

    I reckon I could have got a game back then.

    I was there. Holgate Grammar School pupils were given a half - day holiday, so that they and their teachers could attend, and so that the headmaster didn't have the problem of punishing several hundred boys who would have given themselves the afternoon off. This was a pay at the turnstiles match. There was no time to sell tickets. The replay took place on the Wednesday after the original match. The gates were locked, with thousands of disappointed fans outside. Our goalscorer that day, Ken Oliver, lived next door to a classmate of mine on Swift Street, just off Victoria Crescent, which goes off Huddersfield Road.

    39,250, according to "The Official History Of Barnsley Football Club" by Greville Firth, with gate receipts of £7727, an average of 19.26p per person in today's coinage!

    I remember standing in the Ponty with some of my schoolmates and thinking what a fatty Gordon Banks was.

    My first rented colour tv, from Currys I think, was in 1979. Life changing!
