Could have gone for the white horse, but this shows the scale of the number of fans in 1923

Hampdon Park was nuts as well, an Old Firm Cup Final could have up to 120,000 spectators at it and the record attendance was 150,000

The ground held the world record up until the Maracana was built. Also up until the 1950's the three biggest football grounds in the world were in Glasgow, Hampdon, Celtic Park and Ibrox.

Dave Whelan is a great favourite on this forum.
This picture must have been after he broke his leg in the 1960 cup final.

Eusebio, Coluna and the greatest coach at the time, Bella Guttman with their second european cup.

It is said, after the 1962 final Guttmann approached the Benfica board of directors and asked for a pay rise, but, despite the success he had bought the club, he was turned down. On leaving Benfica he allegedly cursed the club, declaring "Not in a hundred years from now will Benfica ever win a European Cup". Despite being finalists on five occasions since then – 1963, 1965, 1968, 1988 and 1990 – Benfica have never since won any European Championship. Before the 1990 final, which was played in Vienna, where Guttmann was buried, Eusébio even prayed unsuccessfully at his grave and asked for the curse to be broken.

Was just about to post that one.

Great thread. I got a shitload of pictures I like, have a folder on my old PC with some 200+ pictures. These are the ones I found with a quick google search.

Don Fabio. Müller's hat. Breitner's beard. Kaiser's broken arm. Di Stefano's cups.
So much of the good stuff right there

Terry Cooke

Interestingly (or maybe not), he won the young player of the season in '95 (the year they won the youth cup)

That is interesting! Safe to say he took a steady decline from there.

Love it, one of the great pictures it captures so much. Passion from the crowd, skill from the two exceptionable players in it and the friendship and respect which is gained from playing the game.

Read his Wiki and that was his biggest achievement. He never made it into United set up and ended up being a spare part at City. He finished his career in Azerbajen.
