    Apart from Haynes, Macedo and Langley, who were mentioned in the voiceover, I only got Jimmy Hill (not difficult!) and Tosh.

    That's what I love about this board - there are people who can still make feel young!

    It was indeed the biggest gate, rosc and still is. The actual attendance was 49,335, and the match was played in late 1939 (the chapter from 1935 to 1939 of The Story gives some details).

    PS The video was also covered in yesterday's chapter of The Story and most of the players doing their physical jerks are mentioned there and in the next couple of chapters.
