Wasnt there another game v Santos........an afternoon game in mid week

Think that's the same game, it was scheduled to KO at 7:30 as tickets show (£1.50 to get in, North Stand) 1972 match

But got moved to afternoon KO because of fears of power cuts.

[steveger]

why did we play Santos ? did they get lost on the way to Manchester or Liverpool and thought what the hell, why not ?...

Amazed at that menu more than anything...very sophisticated for Hillsborough

Noting the 1972 line up ... only Graham Pugh surviving from

our 1966 FA Cup final team.

 

 

The programme says 1962; did we fizz that up as well

[HIGHERSTATE]

Looks like Royal Mail car park

No way is that a photo from 1972, so must be 62 and isn't it a photo taken towards the Penistone Road gates, with the old Ozzie Owl club /shop on the left?

Me and my mates all went to the 72 one as 12 year olds...I vaguely remember it being midweek and in the afternoon...in fact school basically gave us all the afternoon off...(probably knowing we would have wagged it anyway..). We stood at the bottom of the Kop, close to the pitch behind the net..I still remember to this day the Santos players all shouting to one another when they were setting up to defend a corner..

Love to see a pic of the old scoreboard on the Kop with the Owls and Santos score..i am sure it was still there then ??? .. (that is if it was working)............great days !..

There could be some cause of confusion here. The programme is NOT the one for the first time Santos visited Hillsboro', which was in 1962.  The initial match was the one played against the likes of Ron Springett, Don Megson, Peter Swan , Tony kay, Eddie Hlliday, Bronco Layne , Alan Finney and others.. The K.O was at 7.15 and was played under the relatively newly-installed floodlights. It attracted 49,097 + myself.

The one the programme refers to is the one that was played in 1972 during the first Miners' Strike (there were 3- 1972,75, & 84/85)

As for the menu, nothing special - Starter, Asparagus Soup, Roast Beef and sweet.Not even Yorkshire pud!

Always remember my dad telling me he wagged school to watch that match

You are absolutely correct ... and so was I with Graham Pugh.
