On the same day that City hosted Bury, Leeds United travelled down to Fulham and secured a 3-1 win with goals from Bremner, Johanneson & Storrie. The game was watched by 38,960. 4 days later Fulham won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Fortress Elland Road
Two years earlier on 8th April 1964
Leeds United 1 Juventus 1 - Friendly
This friendly helped to prepare Leeds for their last 3 league games of the season, two wins and a draw sent us up to Division 1 as champions with Sunderland runners-up _________________ For a daily feed of football nostalgia please click on the link to view my Twitter page on your PC - https://twitter.com/MemorabiliaMal |

66 years ago - played at Elland Road.
I think there had been a fire at Huddersfield's ground which prevented them playing there.
Huddersfield 2
Derby 0

9th April 1949
Football League, Division III (South)
Att: 7,625
Exeter City 3 (Mackay, Durrant, Hutchings), Crystal Palace 1 (Kurz again)
Another rock-bottom finish for Palace (or maybe I've written about it before - we did finish last in Div III S 3 times after the war). Jack Lewis was a good player at right half and he soldiered on for 11 years (inc wartime) before heading off to Bournemouth later in 1949 - after picking up a benefit in May!

89 years ago and an inter-league match at Egham FC.
Surrey Senior Lge v Great Western Suburban Lge
Representing the former are players from Egham, Aldershot Town, Farnham U.B., Epsom, Godalming, Reigate Priory and Guildford.
Representing the latter are players from Leavesden Mental Hospital, Berkhamsted, Hounslow, Cowley, Leyland and Newbury.
Very fragile 4 page programme, notes on the front, lineups in the centre, league tables on the back cover.
And a wonderful "charabancs for hire" advert, too

Leeds United in European action on this day
9th April 1968
Leeds United 2 Glasgow Rangers 0
ICFC 4th Round 2nd Leg (2-0 on agg)
Goals from Giles (pen) and Lorimer in front of 50,498. Hope Big Jack & co got stuck into Fergie!
Leeds would go on to win the trophy
9th April 1975
Leeds United 2 Barcelona 1
European Cup Semi-Final 1st Leg
Leeds goals from Bremner & Clarke with Asensi replying for Barca in front of 50,393. A 1-1 draw followed at the Nou Camp and Leeds were through to the Final, only to be robbed of course...

..... shudder to think about the chunks Hunter would have taken out of Ferguson and Cruyff in those games - how would they have responded?

11th April 1981
Football League, Division I
Att: 9,820
Crystal Palace 3 (Langley 2, Lovell), Birmingham City 1
This was Palace's only win in this awful season after 13th December. And these were the first goals scored by Tommy Langley, a transfer window signing from Chelsea, and who toiled hard for next-to-no effect. But he wasn't alone in this sorry side. This was also Palace's lowest-ever top flight attendance - how typical that they would record their only win in 5 months.

63 years ago - bits and pieces from the 1953 Amateur Cup Final.
A bit one-sided......Pegasus 6 Harwich & Parkeston 0
100,000 in attendance. Amazing.

Good Friday, 12th April 1974
Football League, Division II
Att: 22,877
Fulham 1 (Moore), Crystal Palace 3 (Possee, Johnson 2)
Palace were fighting hard to escape the drop and in this Good Friday game with an 11:15 kick-off raced into a 3-0 half time lead, with goals from Derek Possee and a Jeff Johnson brace. A rare Bobby Moore goal was the only second half addition.
Two of the goalscorers
With this result Palace pulled themselves clear of the bottom 3 for the first time this season (3 relegated for the first time this season) and in great form (PL 13, W 8, D 3 L 2) looked forward to 2 more matches over Easter. All will be revealed.

68 years ago (1947/8 season) and a 1st Division fixture between Sunderland and Blackpool.
The programme is a 12 page issue with roughly an even split between content and adverts including adverts for 3 different ales.
Sunderland won 1-0 in front of a massive crowd of 61,084 which was the 3rd highest away attendance of the season behind Arsenal and Manchester United.

Can it really be 30 (thirty!) years ago?
A sobering statistic indeed...I don't think I could spend the night huddled on a bench in York station like I did back then!
Certainly was a fun weekend away - Derby fans seemed to have taken over 75% of the ground.
Imps 0
Rams 1 (Bobby Davison)
att: 6,237 (seemed a LOT more on the day)

After our coupon busting win there this evening....
58 years ago, 12th April 1958
Birmingham City 1 Leeds United 1 - Div 1
Att. 23,112
George O'Brien with the Leeds goal
12th April 1971
Huddersfield Town 0 Leeds United 0
Huge Division 1 crowd of 43,011 watched this derby, Big Jack still in the Leeds team. Four games later Leeds finished second to Arsenal by just a point - A win here would have prevented us from being the bridesmaid once again. I've said it before but I love these late 60s/early 70's programmes with the FLR within, a great read

13th April 1976
Football League, Division III
Att: 19,175
Crystal Palace 1 (Martin), Halifax Town 1 (McHale)
Neil Martin, a recent arrival, scores his one and only goal for Palace, sliding home past Shaymen keeper Alex Smith. It was at about this time that the Malcolm Allison dream was burning itself out, despite his optimistic programme notes. Within 10 days of losing the semi final to Saints, Palace lost 2 games 0-1 and then came this turgid draw against struggling Halifax. Time was running out for Big Mal.
While for Martin his goal was his last in English football after a long and prolific career (511 games, 226 goals), for Ray McHale his goal was one of the early ones in his similarly long and much-travelled career (599 games, 87 goals). Halifax was his second club - Barnsley, where pictured, was his 5th of 10.

53 years ago (1962/3 season) and a Central League fixture between Newcastle United reserves and Blackpool reserves.
The programme is a full 16 page issue and includes a nice action photo of Alan Suddick who was later to join the Seasiders.
I always like covers such as this with a sketch of the stadium.
Blackpool won the match 4-1 with 2063 in attendance.

52 years ago today.
Joint testimonial at The Huish for 4 long-serving Yeovil players - Dave Topping, Dave Jones, Roy Lambden and Len Harris - who, between them, had played almost 1,000 games for the club.
Plenty to read in the 16 page programme which is basically a standard Yeovil issue of the time. Not many clubs printed the attendances for their home reserve games but they did. The highest was 1,014 against Andover.
The reason Derby were the chosen opposition was because Yeovil's player-manager at the time was ex-Ram Glyn Davies.
I have the score in my records as a 3-3 draw but with a big "??" against it - so if anyone can verify or otherwise, please let me know.

It's only my opinion, and I know they're worth zilch, but I'd have season 72/73 as the pinnacle of programme production.
Lay out one issue from each of the 92 League clubs on your floor and you have a myriad of designs and sizes. (I did that a wee while back!)
What they (almost) all have in common is that they've embraced a more modern design without, as yet, all starting to look and feel the same.
Give me a boxful of early 70s programmes and I'm like a pig in sh....oops, better not type that last word _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/derby1884/sets/ |

Hear hear Steve although I don't quite have one per club to try it out!
Pretty close to 72/3 on today's picks although at one stage I was just going to post the Leeds United 4 Liverpool 5 game which was an unbelievable 25 years ago today
13th April 1968
Coventry City 0 Leeds United 1
A winning goal from the late Terry Hibbitt in front of an impressive 38,778
13th April 1974
Coventry City 0 Leeds United 0
Crowd a little down on 6 years earlier at 35,182. Lovely Triumph car advert on the back cover
Leeds would go on to 'Triumph' in Division 1 as we won the League by a comfortable 5 points to be 'Herald-ed' as champions to great 'Acclaim'!

Believe it or not, for a very short time in 1974 there was an actual programme shop in Nelson Street in Aberdeen. Only lasted a few months. I went in from school with my 20p pocket money once and came out with a 73/4 Leeds v Stoke issue and this very 73/4 Coventry v Leeds issue.
"Not got any Derby programmes?" I asked the bloke behind the counter.
"No call for them, young 'un" he replied.
It's hard to project a look of disdain when one has just turned 13 but I did my best _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/derby1884/sets/ |
