BOBBY MONCUR (OOT OF PICTURE) SCORES
WOR 2nd GOAL IN THE FAIRS CUP FINAL 1st LEG!
NOTE THE NUMBER OF FANS ON THE ROOF TOPS 
AND CHIMNEY POTS OF LEAZES TERRACE!


59,234 fans squeezed into St James' Park (with many many more on the roof tops of Leazes Terrace!) to witness wor 3-0 forst leg final victory against Ujpest Dozsa of Hungary in the old Inter Cities Fairs Cup!

Bobby Moncur proved to be the hero of the day with two goals, the forst from a Wyn Davies rebound which fell nicely for him to prod into the net with hiz left peg @ The Gallowgate End.  

His 2nd came just a few minutes later with anothaa 'left footer' to put us two-nowt up! (Amazingly, Moncur waz right footed and had NEVER scored in a competitive game before!---his 143rd for the club!)

Jimmy Scott completed the victory when he fired in from a Benny Arentoft pass! (aall the goals were scored in the 2nd half @ The Gallowgate End!) (little ol' schoolboy 'Fink' waz in The Leazes End on that memorable neet in '69'!)
