A Sheffield United player has run out on to the pitch wearing nothing but his socks, causing the fans to turn their backs to him in disgust.
Boat race day! Early Poznan from Man City fans? Les Strong hoofed the ball clear and someone's gone in the Thames to fetch it, but can't swim?
Craving beat me to it - boat race day. The flags on the terrace show that it's the river-side of the ground.
Sadly I can't see the picture - vagaries of work's internet filters!! - but I remember a picture as described in a programme in the year we were relegated from the old first divison - 1968-69. We had been knocked out the cup in the 4th round so we arranged a friendly with a Scottish side - Morton I think - and during that game the boat race went by and everybody went to watch that as opposed to the game - says a lot really. The flagpoles brought back memories - they had all the other 1st Division sides on them. When we were relegated, the club said they would not buy the 2nd divison flags as we would only need them for a year - he was right - we were relegated to the 3rd divison at the end of the season!!
Spot on Fred. Here's a more typical picture, which hopefully you'll get a chance to see - please log in to view this image PS The friendly in the original was against Kilmarnock - we won 3-1
Back home now - and I can see the pictures. I am 60 on Monday, but I recognized that picture just from the description - quite worrying really! I love the other picture - the Maestro at his best. I always stood on the Putney end, but my dad worked with a couple of Fulham supporters who always stood on the Riverside. I remember them telling my dad that they didn't like Fulham doing too well as it made it difficult to get to their favorite spot - they had to turn up 20 minutes before the kick off as opposed to strolling up to their spot as the whistle went. I occasionally used to go to Fulham with a neighbor - Ken. His mate - Charlie - lived near the ground and always came in as the teams were coming on to the pitch. Ken never used to look round - after about 90 seconds of the game he just used to say "Hullo Charlie". "Hullo, Ken" would come the reply. How Fulhamish is that - absolute magic.
