Jeff Astle - WillieJohnstonsGreenhouse - 09-03-2015
It may be too soon for some but I'd just like to thank all the fans from other teams for respecting Jeff this season

Good post, Willie, and good photo - who's the old codger in the background?

Someone from Watford???

We never played Watford competitively until the League Cup in 1977.

I suggested Watford for obvious reasons but, I bow to your superior knowledge Ska'd.
I think I'm correct in saying that (in Jeff's time) away teams always wore their normal strip unless there was a colour clash with the home side.
I have looked at the pages of my Matthews book and can only suggest that the picture was taken at a home tie against Dinamo Bucharest in the Cup Winners Cup.
