5th May 1959
Evening Standard London 5-a-side Championship
Cover shows action from the previous season's final, Orient v Palace, of which more tomorrow. The 1959 tournament was won by Palace who beat Charlton 4-1 in the final. With 5 goals in the competition, once again Johnny Byrne was the star performer in a format of the game perfect for his skills and speed of thought and movement, seeing off Spurs and Arsenal en route to the final.
Team line-ups and match chart follow:-

71 years ago (1944/5 season) and a Football League Northern Section 2nd Competition between Blackpool and Preston North End.
The programme is the standard 4 page wartime issue with team line ups across the centre pages and an advert for RHO Hills on the back page.
This was the 5th match of the season against Preston (with another encounter due the following week) and ended in a resounding win for the Seasiders by 8 goals to 1.
Farrow 4, O’Donnell H. 3 and Slater bagged the goals with Hough replying for Preston.

50 years ago
Record low attendance, just 4,554
Arsenal 0 Leeds United 3
Storrie (2) & Greenhoff
This courtesy of the excellent 11v11 website...
This was the lowest-ever attendance for a senior Arsenal game at Highbury.
On the same night, the 1966 European Cup Winners' Cup final between Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool was screened live on television, a comparatively rare event for the time.
Meanwhile, in cold and wet conditions, the visit of Leeds United match had no significant bearing on either team's fortunes as the Gunners were about to conclude the season in their lowest league position for 36 years
I would add that it was a Thursday evening and Leeds did manage second place that season (as always it seems!)
Another possible reason for crowd apathy being Arsenal supporters in general were not happy with manager Billy Wright who duly left in the summer

32 years ago - a result which to all intents and purposes confirmed Newcastle's promotion to the First Division.
But also more or less confirmed Derby's relegation to the Third Division.
Newcastle 4
Rams 0
att: 35,866
Only about 120 away fans shoehorned into a narrow strip of terracing. Rotten view - and no way to get to the Gents!
Not one of my better away days....

Just wondered if you (or anyone else?) had any photos from this game.
I really like seeing old photographs of grounds when the crowd is, while more than the proverbial 3 men and a dog, still low enough to make for an unusual shot.
Perhaps a good idea for a thread?
Villa programmes of the late 60s/early 70s often would show photos of Central League games and a sparsely filled Villa Park.
ps - thanks for your PM. Glad you got the wee package! _________________ http://www.flickr.com/photos/derby1884/sets/ |

6th May 1958
Evening Standard London 5-a-side Football Championship
As mentioned last night, the 1958 Championship final was between Orient and Palace with the East Enders winning 1-0 in the final. Thus Orient joined this list of previous winners:-
1955 Fulham 4 West Ham 1
1956 Spurs 2 Fulham 1
1957 Fulham 3 West Ham 2
Line-ups below and the match chart, followed by a selection of photos of a player from each team. Does anyone have any idea why nobody is listed as No 1 in any team?
Fred Lucas (Charlton)
Vic Rouse (Palace)
George Cohen (Fulham)
Cyril Lea (L Orient)
Roy Summersby (Millwall but then Palace)
Peter Angell (QPR)
Johnny Brooks (Tottenham but then Palace)
Noel Cantwell (West Ham)
Johnny Rainford (Brentford but then Palace)

Home Farm Select v Aberdeen

The Scottish Champions took on a select side at Dalymount Park in this exhibition match which was to raise funds for the home team's new clubhouse. |

72 years ago (1943/4 season) and the Football League War Cup Final 2nd leg between Aston Villa and Blackpool.
Blackpool were defending the cup and had won the 1st leg 2-1 but lost this one 4-2.
The programme is a 4 page issue, with team line-ups and notes, which comprised reports on the semi final matches between Villa and Sheffield United and the 1st leg of the final against Blackpool.
There was also a 4 line report on Scotland 2 England 3 which said “Before a record war-time gate of 133,000 at Hampden Park on April 22nd, the England side once more triumphed over the Scots”.

Billy Bremner Testimonial
Leeds United 0 Sunderland 0
Att. 37,708
Billy Bremner allegedly chose Sunderland as the opposition to avenge the 73 Cup Final defeat? No idea if this is indeed true. Either way we didn't, but the night doubled up as the League Championship trophy presentation. Nice programme with a decent bit of colour and printed on more like card than paper
36 years ago
West Riding Senior Cup Final
Bradford City 1 Leeds United 4
Leeds goals from Carl Harris and an Arthur Graham hat-trick in front of just 3,255, perhaps we were the three thousand? At the time of the game Bradford City had just missed promotion from Division 4 on goal difference only, Leeds were mid-table in Division 1
Four page programme

I don't think I've ever seen a picture from the game, perhaps the photographers didn't bother either!
Just had a very quick look on Google images and didn't come up with anything but I will take a look over the next few days and let you know. Arsenal played their last home game of the season just two days later on 7th May so no chance of anything being in there as it had no doubt already gone to print. I'll check magazines from the following few weeks after the match and see if there's mention of it. _________________ For a daily feed of football nostalgia please click on the link to view my Twitter page on your PC - https://twitter.com/MemorabiliaMal |

7th May 1986
Friendly (Centenary Match)
Att: ?
Whitstable Town v Crystal Palace
Arranged for the Whistable centenary as they ended their 100th season with friendlies against Palace and then Charlton a few days later. 6 fairly regular Palace first teamers in the side but not classed as a 1st team friendly so no record of it in the books. 2 such regulars here, Gavin Nebbeling (top) and Phil Barber, unsung Palace heroes of the darker days in the mid-80's.

56 years ago at the end of the 1959/60 season, Blackpool undertook a tour to Africa where they played 8 matches throughout May.
On this day they played Nigeria at the King George V stadium in Lagos.
The programme, along with some others from the tour, are very scarce and command top prices whenever they come up for auction.
This is a 16 page issue with a page and a half of Blackpool pen pictures, team line ups across the centre and the rest adverts.
Blackpool lost just one of the 8 matches and won this one by 3 goals to 1.

No date on the cover but this one is from May 7th, 1966.
Last league game of the season ends in a 2-2 draw, Alan Durban and Billy Hodgson on target for Derby in front of 10,910.
The sides end up roughly mid-table.
Best of luck to CAFC in getting rid of the idiots presently in charge of their club.

8th May 1969
Friendly Match
Att:
Crystal Palace 2, Swindon Town 1
For Palace, promotion to the 1st Division. For Swindon, promotion to the 2nd Division and Football League Cup winners. For Palace manager Bert Head, the perfect ending to a wonderful season. He'd been manager of Swindon from 1956 to 65 and had introduced most of these players to the 1st XI. A couple of the Palace squad had been with him at Swindon.
The 2 teams also played a friendly at the County Ground Swindon two days earlier (ST 3, CP 5). I regret I don't know any of the scorers in these games.
To pay due reverence to the Great Man, here are 2 shots of Bert Head, the first as Bury centre-half, 1952, the second as Palace manager c. 1970.

8th May 1983
Grand Charity Sunday - 2 matches
TV Entertainers v London Transport Sports Association
"Old Palace" v Crystal Palace 1983
The programme mentions Bert Head as being a familiar face in attendance, among many others. And current manager Alan Mullery revealed that he nearly signed for Palace (and Bert) in 1972 but Alec Stock gazumped him so he went to Fulham. |

8th May 1972
Wolves 2 Leeds United 1
Att. 53,379
Forced to play just 48 hours after winning the FA Cup, a point in this one and Leeds would've done the double, alas once again we came second.
Wolves goals from Munro & Dougan with Bremner replying for Leeds. On the same night another of the title challengers, Liverpool, failed to beat Arsenal at Highbury, leaving Derby County, whose players were already on holiday, champions for the first time in their history
Apologies for showing the same programme as 'Footyfan' but this one is autographed by the Leeds squad from the days when the majority of autographs were not just the latter day squiggle
Incidentally, this game was played on Jack Charlton's 37th birthday, what a present the double would've been for him. Jack turned 81 today

49 years ago.
End-of-season friendly which didn't really fire the enthusiasm of the home fans as only just over 5,000 were in attendance.
Game ended in a 1-1 draw, Eddie Thomas on target for the Rams.
