Just reading the Stokoe, Sundeland and 1973 book. Stokoe played in that game for the mags and it was his worst moment in football. 14 years later was his best

It’s mental to me as a youngin that this was how football was at one point, it couldn’t any more different whilst still being the same thing these days. Bet it was class

 

[C.ra.ig]

The fans chucking up the straw to celebrate just like the pint checkers of today.

You can see the crowd is basically mixed quite a lot. People cheering and clapping our goals all over the ground. I guess it wasn’t long after this it all changed

 

[honest mag]

And not a single sign of a punch up......... makes you wonder why it actually all changed everywhere and not just in the NE

Looks like there's a few smokies in that crowd and possibly a flare though.

Excellent

 

[The Krankie Returns]

33 seconds, that was a handball. Stonewall penalty that.

Exactly. I mean I guess even then if you stood next to the wrong bloke you could cop a clip round the lugs if you celebrated an away goal. But seems largely mixed

Nah, not then.

 

[SirSidneyRuffDiamond]

Brilliant. With that music at the beginning I almost expected Arthur Atkinson to appear.
