That reminds me, on that day I was at the Sty with my older brother whose best mate was a bluenose - it was quite common then to go to Villa and Blues in alternate weeks, a strange concept these days though - and we stood on the Tilton in the corner. Blues were playing, if I remember correctly, Bolton who won with a goal,by a young winger called Francis Lee, later of Man City and England fame. In those days the half time and full time scores came up on large scoreboards at the corner of the ground with letters representing a game and then numbers manually put, home team at the top and away at the bottom. Well it was Tottenham v Villa's turn, the top number was 4 and the bottom was 1, the cheers and laughs rang out loud from the happy bluenoses. Full time arrives, remember Blues have just lost.....again, and a 5 goes in the top...ah well we only conceded 1 in the second half, and it seemed an age for our score to come up , then what seemed a hastily made number 5 appeared to a stunned silence around the ground. We left open mouthed with shock desperately trying to find someone with a transistor radio to confirm the almost unbelievable!
