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?

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.
