I Spy Old Refs! / Replacement Linesman Orient v Man Utd 16/08/1974
« on: Tue 17 Jan 2023 19:05 »
There is an old Second Division game up on The Big Match on Youtube from the weekend of 16/17 August 1974 where Orient faced Manchester United. Late in the game a Linesman/Assistant was injured and was replaced by a man who looked like somebody in the crowd. He had a formal white patterned shirt and slacks on therefore had to lend the Man Utd Physio's dark blue top to prevent any clash with the Red shirts of Orient or the all white shirts of Man Utd. The referee was John Yates (Redditch.)
I would put the youtube link in the post but as a newbie I don't want to break any rules in my first post.
