Substitute goalkeepers were allowed only in the European Cup/Champions League for Season 1967-68 and Jimmy Rimmer was the substitute for Manchester United in the Final against Benfica but don't know who the Benfica one was.The following Season general substitutes were used and believe it was 3 and Ajax used 2 inthe Final,
Cup Winners Cup believe it was 1968-69 Season for general substitutes but don;t know whether Substitute Goalkeepers were allowed in 67-68.
Fairs Cup allowed Substritutes from Season 1967-68 as Leeds used 2 and Ferencvaros 1 in 1st Leg of Final.
Feel sure this is correct unless someone knows different.

Geoff

Does any one know when substitutes were first used in European Club competitions (i.e. European Cup, Cup Winners Cup, UEFA Cup or Fairs Cup)?Many thanks in advanceSteve
