My favourite 1967 3-2 v champions elect Man City, Bell, Lee, Summerbee and the rest.
I loved that match. I ran on to the pitch and jumped on Astle's back when he got the winner at the end. Apparently I dodged a copper to get on and as I ran back to my grandad and uncle the same copper was laughing with them at my antics and he let me get back over the wall. What a difference it would be today.
