I don't recall seeing a lot of trouble, to be honest. My brother never did become a Wednesday fan although I took him to several matches. But even he( a Man, U, season ticket holder) admits it was the best game he has ever seen. If ever a match should have been televised for future generations, this was it, such a shame. My brother has never lived in Manchester by the way. LOL Edited April 8, 2019 by Ontarian1981 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

LOL The Owls game was probably not televised because Yorkshire Television was concentrating on their beloved ones from that place that is near Bradford, can't speak for the BBC tho'.

That was it, I knew it wouldn't be on either because there weren't any cameras there that day, the camera platform was empty.  Are you sure Yorkshire Television was actually born then, we could have still been in Granada land, which adds more mystery to the lack of TV.  Edited April 9, 2019 by Ontarian1981 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Even the newspapers all varied on the scoring honours for that goal.I think the Green 'Un gave it to Jack but most of the Sunday's called it a Stiles og.
