aaron Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 My next door neighbour popped round for a cuppa last night with an arm full of assorted old footie programmes and I found he has one from the 1966 FA cup final. I read it from cover to cover and found a little snippet I would like to share with you all about Dixies 60th in that season The Late Charles Buchan, making his league farewell in the same game used to tell me....."They said that we Gunners gave Dixie that goal because we didn't want to see him stop short on the 59 mark, we did no such thing. We tried everything we could to stop him. I never heard a louder roar than the one the Everton spectators put up that day as his third goal came" Leslie Edwards (sports editor, Liverpool Echo) I like that story.

java2001e Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Good Queen Bess, Queen Elizabeth 1 of England, had a law passed which provided for soccer players to be " jailed for a week, and obliged to do penance in church."
