I can't help you much (though I was at the game), but in case you haven't seen it, a thread on the Real match was started in the Nostalgia section on 11th June 2014. I made a small contribution, pointing out that the £10k that we paid them to come was at the time of my writing equivalent to £186K.

That thread contains some photos, showing us playing in sky blue jerseys with narrow vertical claret stripes. In fact, the pictures are in black and white but the above colours are correct. That was my favourite strip and it lasted one season.

The programme, which I still have, is noteworthy for not carrying the date of the match. A mere detail!

I was at the game and on the Holmesdale terrace directly behind Terry Long's goal. He didn't score many but that was a cracker. Mind you the RM defence stood off him for so long so he could get a shot away that I think even I could have managed it!

Years later we became neighbours. He was then assistant manager at Millwall if I remember correctly.

That was in Hazlemere, High Wycombe but I have no idea if he still lives in that area. It was at least 35 years ago

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Di Stefano, Puskas and Gento, a year before my debut, so have no memory of the game, but not a bad forward line!

At the end of that report note the 2-3-5 formation in which teams were always listed in those days.
