Merry Christmas everyone. What were your...

Mention of Boxing Day matches in the late 60's, the one that really stands out was the Spurs (or non-Spurs match as it turned out to be) when the pitch was frozen if I'm right and the game was postponed until 3 or 4 days after the '69 Final. Terrible conditions persisted into the January and beyond.

I remember Jimmy Greaves complaining about the hotel they were put into-no heating, no nothing, just miserable conditions and he thought the City staff had done this deliberately. Someone who knows better might be able to confirm this. I have a programme from that postponed match and saw the match when it was played in the April.

Boxing Day '67 didn't go down too well for different reasons.

My favourite Christmas present as a kid was the time I was let out of the downstairs cupboard and allowed to eat at the table with mum and dad. It was just for an hour but it was fab

He's a nob.

1966/67
Scalextric set power by twin block batteries, 6v?
On boxing day my uncle came over with two hand made
Slot cars and a transformer ( my kids still use them
Except it 5 sets now one for each child on their 6th Christmas)
Yesterday
Neuf ? Guns
2 machine guns 18 shot
2 machine pistols 6 shot ( they hurt )
And a bloody big machine gun from both sets of grandparents,
It was war,it was dirty,
It nearly put me in hospital,havent laughed so much in years,,

Xmas 1983.

Wall to wall with Star Wars toys. The joys of being a spoiled only child. Still got them all. Most still boxed. Don't play with them all that much these days. Not too often really.
