One of my earliest away games was to see Palace at the County Ground, absolutley surreal experience the football pitch was in one corner of the cricket ground,...
Yes that was in the early 1960's wasn't it? I think Northampton were in the first division about 1961. If that were so, maybe Palace met them in the third. No...
Going on from cricket grounds to strange grounds in the 60's,I went to the old Yeovil ground in the mid 60's,which (I think)was low at the touchlines and...

Talking about noise, when was the last time anyone saw a rattle used in anger? I can barely remember them in use in the 1960's!! But old footage of games,...

the alleged photo of John Cottam in the FILES section definitely isn't him! It's Jim McIntosh. John Cottam was tall and fair-haired and looked nothing like...
Was Jim McIntosh the outside-left who played alongside Duncan McKenzie in the Forest side of the late 1960's? I had to work this out, because I can still...
