Seriously? I want more details!
@Sjakie: Dates from March 4th, 1972. Afraid that’s the best we can do info-wise at the moment.
lol, Paul mccartney on second row!
Just out of curiosity, why is this item flagged as Man U if it happened at White Hart Lane? Were the dears visiting supporters?
@usrick: It’s also flagged as ‘Tottenham’ as well as ‘Retro’. Our categories are always listed in alphabetical order. Simple as that.
If I remember correctly, they’re the Tea Ladies and they’re off to put the kettle on. They’re not actually on the pitch, it just looks that way from the perspective.
Just call me Buzz Killington.
@Chris:
Makes sense. Thank you.
Is that Nora Batty?
@mule: Dear sweet Jesus! That IS Sir Macca!
@mule : Haha!
Where’s Wally, bottom right!
