Jackie Sewell Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I went to Woodhouse Grammar School and we played the University away next day. I found myself copying the tricks and walking football, the like of which we'd never seen before. One of their guys said, did you go to to the match last night by any chance?

The stripes returned in August 1972. 3-0 v Fulham in front of 25,000. I won't forget it. Meant as much to me as our Cup Finals. It will be another great day when we return to our proper colours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1972 match was a midweek afternoon but still a good crowd. Wasn't it because of a strike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the equivalent of Man Utd or Liverpool playing in stripes, I reckon that it was Vic Buckingham attempting to make us look like a continental side.
