Re: 40 years ago today
PRBlueBloody scousers!The official attendance was 44k as that was our official capacity at the time but I’m pretty sure the Kop main gates got forced open shortly before the game so there was probably over 50k. We had a real 44k for the Watford FA game a few years later and it was nothing like as rammed as that Villa game. I remember getting smashed a few times against the crush barriers which wasn’t pleasant.
