Before my time and my dad can't remember all of the team something like this ?? Williams ? Davidson ???? ????? Dennis Butler ?? Henderson Houghton Simpkin or Jarvis ? Butler Waggy Chilton Anybody know the rest ? I thought I could find it on the net but had no luck ! I know the team didn't change much over the season. Cheers !
To be more accurate: - Swan Davidson Butler (D) Jarvis Milner Simpkin Houghton Wagstaff Henderson Chilton Butler (I)
is that the W formation ? How many of that team were playing in 1970/71 when we played Stoke in the FA cup ? I was watching the highlights of you tube !
FA Cup QF v. Stoke team at a guess. McKechnie Banks, Neill, Wilkinson, DeVries Simmo, Houghton, ?????? Waggy, Chilton, Butler
yes I know. I watched the 1971 match and then wondered who was still left from the promotion winning side of 1966. That's why I wanted to know what the teams were.
Substitutes were introduced around 1966/67 - I seem to recall Ray Henderson coming on and scoring the winner against Brighton in a 2-1 win at their place. I thought at the time that he was possibly the first ever substitute to score in the league (but apparently not!). I can't remember who he actually came on for - possibly Billy Wilkinson but I'm not at all certain.
Didn't we play Chelsea in the 1966 FA cup quarter final - fantastic last minute equaliser by Waggy at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea had already knocked out Manchester United and Leeds in earlier rounds? It was a great day out. Home replay was on General Election night and forty thousand plus of us crammed into Boothferry Park but we lost 3-1, our goal was a 25 yard shot by Chris Simpkin. You can still see the highlights on YouTube in glorious black and white.
