On this day 1971

[splott parker]

I was in the Grange end started off with Big Frank and Dennis Baker etc lost them quickly in the general melee.
I also remember seeing Vic Cartwright. The only reason I mentioned this chap is because I hadn’t seen him for 50 years and recently found myself stood next to him at the bar in the Sand Martin. It’s a funny world.

The only other things I remember was the pushing and shoving and then the goal and the surge forwards the front.

I was 18 and knew fk all. I’m a lot older now and know even less.

There’s a picture framer on Cowbridge Road Richards iirc. Near Rees the pie shop. He’s got some of the framed Real Madrid away leg posters

Dennis, played football with him. Sailor in his white butcher’s coat

On the bb with my dad, pretty much in line with the goal.

On the Bob Bank between the cameras and the Canton floodlight. I was 15. I thought Madrid should have worn their white kit. I was a bit disappointed when they played in red kit. Well I seem to remember it was red, was a long time ago.

I was pinned against the back wall of the enclosure Grange End in my RAF uniform as I was back on air traffic control duty at Brize Norton at midnight, just about made it!

Yes it was red.

What a pitch. That was a proper Ninian Park pitch. It seemed to be like that for most of the 70s.

Great footage and loved the pitch invasion. I couldn’t make it that day - I was swimming around in my old man’s ballsack

Really is something to tell people about. Not many, if any, fans of UK clubs of our standing can say they’ve seen their club beat Real Madrid. Us, who were there, are obviously dwindling year by year, it could be our equivalent of the last WW2 survivors.

I once told a youngster i saw city beat Real Madrid and he pissed himself laughing. Should have give us a medal for being there.
