If it has a number 2 next to Lofthouse in the team line ups, it is a reprint

Scott,
The Manchester programme shop reprinted this programme in the 1970s. The copy they used to copy it from had the number '2' written beside the name of Nat Lofthouse on the teamsheet page (he scored both goals in the match). Therefore the reprint also has '2' written by the name of Lofthouse.
