If you are a TheBox user, the following game has been posted for download........
Classic BBC 'Match of the Day' action from the early sixties.
1964/65 season context: Introduced and commentated by Frank Bough. As with the previous rounds of FA Cup the BBC were unable to broadcast the quarter finals games played today. With bad weather wiping out many First Division games as well only two Cup matches could even be played - Liverpool v Leicester City and Chelsea v Peterborough. Despite heavy snow across the country "Match of the Day" managed to get their cameras to the Valley for Bolton Wanderers visit to Charlton Athletic for a Division Two game. Bolton are currently in fifth in the league and looking to promotion while Charlton are finding themselves in a scrap at the bottom of the table. The players to most look out for are Bolton's young striker Francis Lee and Charlton's new signing from Arsenal John Sneddon.
Unfortunatly due to television converage still in its infancy the cameras are placed behind the goals rather than it's traditional centre of the pich position. Don't let this put you off as the match was played on a pitch that resembles the Somme with a mixture of rain, snow and high winds hindering close control while various lovely large puddles make the match highly amusing for the casual viewer.
Charlton Athletic team: Rose, Hewie, Kinsey, Sneddon, Haydock, Tocknell, Kenning, Kennedy, Matthews, Peacock, Glover.
Bolton Wanderers team: Hopkinson, Hartle, Farrimond, Rimmer, Edwards, Hatton, Butler, Hill, Lee, Bromley, Taylor.
I will download it so can maybe help with a copy if you are really keen on seeing it!

I've got this game on DVD. Bought it on ebay last year from a guy in Sweden who must have recorded it from a Scandinavian TV channel.
I made a couple of copies and gave them to Keith Peacock and Roy Matthews who was over from South Africa a month or two ago.
It's classic viewing. The pitch is dreadful and the game would probably have been called off if it wasn't scheduled for evening TV. Frank Bough is absolutely perished as he commentates from a dodgy gantry behind the Laundry End goal.
It's a poor showing by the boys. John Hewie hits the ball first time as soon as it comes near him, usually to an opponent, but Frank Haydock looks like a decent player. The 17 year-old Peacock looks way out of his depth, especially on such a bad pitch. Francis Lee is the star, and runs us ragged.
I'm happy to make more copies, probably illegally, if anyone wants one. No charge, of course .......... now that would be illegal!

By far the best bit in the game is when one of the Bolton defenders gets injured - a kick on the knee or something. You can see that he's in some pain. The physio (ha!) comes on and gives the leg a good old rub with a piece of rag you wouldn't clean the car with. The Bolton player gets up and he's as good as new. Nowadays he'd be out for three months.
