    3-2 vs Vicenza best friendly game i've ever been too.
    agreed! Powell got sent off didn't he?! Every time Robinson got the ball, their right back smashed him and Powell eventually lost it! (I don't think he served a ban for it tho!)

    Dont think Powell was sent off, I think the ref advised Curbs to sub him off before he had to send him off. Your right though Powell lost it big time. Some of the filthy challenges going in from both teams were great.

    I think I read somewhere afterwards that Powelly said he was still in a state at the time after the tragic news of Boloangi and this was the frustation of all it all coming out.
  • CAFC 4-2 La Gantoise - 26 Oct 65. Brilliant game - tremendous diving bullet header from Ron Saunders.
    CAFC 3-1 Spartak Brno Nov 63. At the height of Firmani-mania. Crowd of 19K. Another very good game. I couldn't go, but somewhere amongst my old programmes is an excellent lengthy report from The Times.
