Congratulations Paul. I was of course an old regular by then.

Quiz question for you (or anyone else). What links that match with the 1974 World Cup final ?

Jack Taylor was the referee?

Jack Taylor was the referee?

Correct - as I'm sure OBW well remembers.

He certainly doesn’t

I do have this definite memory of being about halfway up the Grange End with my Dad seeing Mel Charles head past the keeper right in front of us, but as I don’t remember anything else about the afternoon, I think I’m indulging in wishful thinking and telling myself those things happened.

Thank you to tpcnw for putting the teams up - I’ve heard of ten City players in that line up, but the name Dick Mallory means nothing to me.

Played just 3 games in all - all 3 for City - as he was called up when they had an injury crisis. He's 81 now, so we can't ask him to come back from Bermuda for this one..

Must admit it’s the first time I’ve heard him referred to as Dick. Always known as Richard.

According to the English National Football Archive his name is Richard James Leroy Mallory and was born in August 1942.

Played 3 league games for Cardiff (all at home) in October 1963 and 1 League Cup game at Wrexham.

Jack Taylor was the referee?

Always remember Jack Taylor would walk out of the tunnel with the ball in his hand (held with 4 fingers & thumb) one of the very few people who could do it
