Leeds United

[Bob]

Leeds United the last ever division 1 champions when 1 meant 1 strangely enough, also the last champions of England to have an English manager 29 years ago!

[shots1965]

34 years ago today as well

It’s also the fifth anniversary of David Bowie passing on

I think it held the record for the lowest attendance for a 3rd round tie for a while...

Whether true or not, its obviously beaten all ends up this weekend

It was beaten a few years,couldn't tell you by who though.

That record stood till January 2010, when 1322 fans saw Accrington Stanley v Gillingham.

Gate was about 1900

Gate was about 1900

Nearly Bob. It was 1966.

Or 2,034! The 1,966 was the crowd given on the day and has always been taken as the official gate, but in the Peterborough programme and all remaining programmes that season the gate is shown as 2,034. I'm sure I queried this at the time and was told that a gate had been missed or some ticket stubs not counted correctly.

Really? I never knew that! The following season's Rothmans Football Yearbook shows the attendance for that game as 1966.

If I remember correctly MR Aldridge came off the pitch in tears, week later was playing for Liverpool

And Martin Foyle who didn't play for us that day replaced him at Oxford

I think his last game was the freight rover win at Swindon then the following Saturday was a big game at home to Preston, March 87
