Bristol Rob Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Do you think the travelling time is based on clear roads, player rest or just to make sure they haven't been on the drink on Christmas day? I mean, I can't imagine any of these results were possibly effected by players having made themselves socially relaxed on the 25th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, if that happened today the Gillette Saturday vidiprinter would explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Looking at the weather for the time it was very rainy unlike the december of 1962 There also seems a bit more thought to distances having to travel Train services were also starting to change, although trains to the best of my knowledge,ran on Boxing day 1963 Blackpool 1-5 Chelsea could Blackpool not go to Blackburn? Burnley 6-1 Manchester United Fulham 10-1 Ipswich Town Leicester City 2-0 Everton swap round with fixture below Liverpool 6-1 Stoke City Nottingham Forest 3-3 Sheffield United Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 Bolton Wanderers West Bromwich Albion 4-4 Tottenham Hotspur some one has to lose out West Ham United 2-8 Blackburn Rovers west ham could go to chelsea Wolverhampton Wndrs 3-3 Aston Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the vidiprinter, back in black and white TV days, there was the good old teleprinter. It was exciting if City was playing away, as the teams and the scores would slowly appear on the screen.

Abraham Romanovich Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Top Scorers[edit] Rank Player Club Goals 1 Jimmy Greaves Tottenham Hotspur 35 2 Fred Pickering Blackburn Rovers / Everton 32 = Andy McEvoy Blackburn Rovers 32 4 Roger Hunt Liverpool 31 5 Denis Law Manchester United 30 6 Ray Crawford Ipswich Town / Wolverhampton Wanderers 28 Just found this list of top 6 goalscorers for the season 63/64 - and we go on about 20 goals a season being a decent return. I always fondly remember Boxing Day games in the 60's,rammed in like sardines- usually the biggest crowd of the season - hip flasks full of Chritmas booze being passed around and a smog of cigar smoke replacing the usual cigarette haze - oh and plenty of goals.

Marlborough Red Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Why is there not a full fixture list on Christmas Eve? Seems a complete waste of a Saturday -surely everybody has got their shopping done by then. Possibly mid day kick offs with fixtures arranged to save travelling and get fans back home in time for Santa. City v Cardiff would have been a cracker! Players get plenty of time off on International breaks and 3 months in the summer so not too much to ask surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford was shooting blanks on Boxing day 1963 though or had they already sold him to Wolves ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
