Great work, our lass.

Who's that team in the wondrous picture? Early to mid-60s, no scarves for clues. Owen Owen - southern dept store? Pic too late for Spurs 61-2? Can't be PNE. Liverpool 64-5? A few H&S issues with the omnibus.

Jon L's a belter and Mark Lester makes one want to blub.

Bet you're all pretzeled up with a bottle of dandelion & burdock for The Brits?

oh but the north end it most certainly is having their big moment trolling down fishergate after losing oh yes a parade for being second in the fa cup 1964. my dad's on there too taking candid snaps and whatnot. there's some shots of the crowd i'll dig out later that are heavenly

Of course - no silverware on display. Runners-Up charabanc, like. Bunting and rosette. What a Lancastrian throng behind too eh. And Saturday's heroes sat atop like schoolboys.

Reflections of those monochrome days are just wonderful. The whole of human life is there. (We could sit in the pub and make up stories about some of the characters. Give em names and all that). It's almost as if you expect life to have been in black n white then.

And unlike the 70s thru' to today, a heavy police presence purely for safety reasons.

That's not yer dad at the front, (bottom left) is it, Al?
