Lincs Owl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Been watching us since the 50s. Had some good memories but unfortunately mainly 50 years or so back. Beating West Ham seven nil when they were league leaders. Beating man utd 5-1 and 7-2 in one season. (60-61) Beating Barcelona 3-2 in Europe. But one of our proudest moments never gets mentioned and I'm starting to wonder whether I dreamt it. Back in about 1968, West Germany played a warm up game against us. Goalless draw. Can't remember venue or any details. Could have been played behind closed doors, but I'm fairly sure I've seen the programme for it. Orange glossy cover in style of German international programmes of the time. Can't find owt on internet but I'm 99.9% sure it happened. Anyone remember?

Lincs Owl Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 I could be wrong on date but I think it was a warm up for the 1970 world cup in mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I wonder what the main crowd chant was? "It crossed the line, it crossed the line, the fecker crossed the line". "There's only one Russian linesman". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thought with all the wrist slashing taking place, I'd try post something positive. To make you even happier, I'll stick my neck out and say the current team would beat nearly any sixties Owls side. Modern players are much fitter and stronger.

KivoOwl Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Pretty sure it was their B team. We did have a friendly pencilled in against the full West German but was cancelled. All off off top of my head mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
