Old Pathe News coverage of BFC matches

I have said before I am no good at posting links on this site. There is a thread on AVFTT titled 'Oldest known coverage of Blackpool 1936 v Margate' in the FA cup at the old Bloomers. It is a YouTube clip I have never seen before. It also links to a whole set of other YouTube clips of BFC FA cup ties from the 1950s and early 60s. Most I had never seen before and some fantastic coverage of our great players at the time but others like Bobby Robson and Jimmy Hill. Great images of 30k crowds at BR, including a packed spion kop. Well worth a look and am sure that someone like Dave could transplant the links.
 
The experience of being on the Kop in a crowd of 30,000 was awesome for a young lad as then I was.
