Ramsey had wingers in his squad, John Connelly and Terry Paine. Both played in the first game. After a poor performance he dropped Connelly and Paine was injured. A set of circumstances which in the end had a great outcome.
They didn’t play 4 3 3. Only in the first game.They lined up as 4 1 3 2 in the final but most describe the formation they used as 4 4 2 Hurst and Hunt as the two front men.
This is it. One of my friends had a set but we all preferred Subbuteo. https://www.oldfootballgames.co.uk/index.asp?pageid=262051
Seeing as you want more ... In 1972, the teacher who ran our school team announced we would be playing three at the back. How's that for being ahead of his time? It was a disaster though. We played 344. That meant that against teams who played 442, as most did, our only centre back was constantly outnumbered. Our problem was that the full backs, of which I was one by that stage, played just the same as they had in a back four so there was a huge space in the middle that one player couldn't cover. We had no coaching about how to play in a three and move as a unit across the pitch. After losing 10-1 in our second match and 5-2 in our third we begged to go back to a four. We did and a place in football's evolutionary history was lost as were almost all of the following matches but by smaller differences. Perhaps it was us and not the system that failed.
We still played 2-3-5 under the same teacher in 1974 mate!! First season we still played in the old quarter shirts, like Bristol rovers, with a collar on them! They had the stitched on numbers on a white background with the numbers been red I think. They were brilliant old shirts.
Can you remember Fatty Stonehouse writing that City were going to line up with an experimental 4 4 3 formation?
Bristol Rovers have the quarter shirts, Blackburn Rovers are halves. Brid Central United before re-forming as Brid Town played in black and amber quarters with black shorts which looked great.
What I remember from school football it was 10 chasing the ball, if attacking everyone went forward, if being attacked everyone went back to defend. It was more sheep herding than football.
