Comments
VGC - 1" tear on rhs fixed by sello to rear, v sl edge tears & sl crses elsewhere - Welsh centre forward Trevor Ford just beaten to the ball by keeper Bert Williams - Ford had just joined Sunderland from Villa for a record £30k, while Williams was at Wolves so no love lost between the former West Midland rivals. Ford had quite a reputation for rough-housing opposing keepers, but he never batted an eyelid if and when he got it back. This match at Ninian Park in the Home Internationals ended in a 1-1 draw with 60,000 in attendance.
