Block 5 Posted 5 August, 2012 Share Posted 5 August, 2012 (edited) I've been meaning to upload this picture for ages. It's a Press Association photo that appeared in a newspaper the day after the cup final. My father spotted himself in the pic and sent off for a copy. It's been lurking at the back of a drawer ever since. I've not seen it anywhere else online so I thought I'd scan it and share it with you guys. I wondered if anyone recognises themselves or friends and family in the crowd. Edited 5 August, 2012 by Block 5 Duff link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wurzel Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Great photo. From the mixed reaction faces in the crowd clearly an unsegregated area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bender Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Still amazes me how people wore suits to football in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_in_munich Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Looks like it's a few Saints fans in with the United lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70's Mike Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Looks like it's a few Saints fans in with the United lot. We were outnumbered 3 to 1, United had a very young team and was becoming the "non football fans club". Most of the saints fans were in the Upper Tier either side of the Tunnel at the old Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted 7 August, 2012 Share Posted 7 August, 2012 Great pic, love the fashion, taches and even smoking, a lot has changed since then. No seats where we were, the concrete terraces were literally bouncing, grown men crying, wonderful memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
