Amazing what you find rummaging through old boxes. Looking through some foreign programmes and came across this programme from Northern Rhodesia for a game between Roan Antelope F C and Mufulira dated 1961. Its only small in size and measures 120 cm x 190 cm. Don't know much about the teams but Mufulira is now part of Zambia as Northern Rhodesia no longer exists.

From Wikipedia

The two Roan teams were instrumental in pushing for multi-racial participation in soccer and the championining of a national football league. In 1961 a select side from both teams challenged an all European side Mufulira United to a friendly game and won 1-0. An African player Ginger Pensulo scored the lone goal.

Not sure if its the same game but the goalscorer doesn't appear on the programme.

Is Jervis - Billy Jervis ex Blackburn I wonder?
