In the 1960s. So in the old Division Two, assuming - for the moment - it''s a league match. The only NCFC player in view is, I believe, Scottish. It certainly looks like a particular player from that era. We still used black shorts for several of those seasons. As to the other team I may be missing something but I cannot see any clues. The shirts could be red or blue, but there is no visible crest. However one of the opposition players (the middle one) does actually look like another Scottish player. I won''t name him, but if so then possibly this was not a league match, but a cup encounter, with the opposition wearing red or blue. At which I was, like a few others, in attendance. And in which our NCFC Scottish player - if it is him - took part. But this all may be completely wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

William Darby 0 Posted October 4, 2013 Blue shirts in the 60s? A big crowd by the looks. Is it our record attendance match against Leicester in the cup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a few years later. Those opposition shirts look a touch on the tight side for the late 1950s. More a sixties style? Certainly that player opposition looks very much like a certain player from the sixties and seventies who was in this match I''m thinking of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is March 1963, not 1959 or 1962, and the game against Leicester. But I still think that looks more like Bryceland with his shock of dark hair than Hill, allthough I wouldn''t be dogmatic about it. And the Leicester player - really as far as I can see the only clue to the game - is Frank McClintock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
