But George is only mentioned in an advert on the back page. It does not say he played in the match Confused

The back page also says that Bobby Moore captained England in the 1964 World Cup

I also like the "look forward to Britain's World Cup prospects in Mexico"

I've just dug out my copy of this programme, the match ticket (£5.50) was still inside - I'd completely forgotten I went to this one.

And no, George Best didn't play, I would have remembered that..

I know but there are some strange buyers out there who grab anything remotely relating to George Best.
