Saw the "highlights" on a tiny black and white TV in the grotty digs I was in.

My mates told me there was a fantastic atmosphere with a huge crowd - and we won 1-0.

I still have the ticket, complete with stub!
Great match. Tony Brown scored after 69 mins or something like that. The Brummie Road cascaded forward. I was near the back and turning round it was empty for about 20 yards behind me. How people never got crushed I don’t know.
