I wonder how many of the players involved in those games had over done it with the booze and turkey the day before? except West Ham of course who are a bunch of turkeys. 8-2

Lions roar...Two days later Burnley went to old Trafford for the return fixture and got beat 5-1 ...I seem to remember it was a certain George Bests first game for Utd..... Crazy christmas games ...

HI Alf, I remember seeing quite a few score reversals in those days when teams played each other home and away within the space of a few days. Must have been great entertainment, THFC Cockerels, WHU Turkeys I like that.
