33 minutes in there’s about 7 minutes of Stoke’s semi final v Arsenal. Footage I’ve not seen before.

Obscene penalty in the replay
There's black and white footage too which shows the ridiculous off side goal
+ The Stoke goal not given which was a foot over the line (seen a cracking photo of it)
However the year before at Hillsborough was our own fault, murdered them but didn't finish them off at 2.0 off.

Thank you DUTCHPETER for posting this. Its the first time I've seen these highlights as I was on an almost half world tour with the Royal Navy, and brings back many memories.
From seeing George Eastham mastermind a thrilling cup game in Cape Town (First time I'd come across racial segregation at matches, with the non-whites behind huge fences at one end of the ground[)
Saw Pele play for Santos against a Thai XI in Bangkok. Had a tour of the Maracana stadium in Rio before seeing a match where the stadium looked emptyish although there were 70,000 in attendance!.
Uruguay was a political hotbed with bombs going off in Montevideo but still managed to see Nacional versus Penarol - quietly edging towards the exit as full time approached and a riot appeared imminent.
The ship, HMS Diomede had a superb Captain, crew and a good football team which played in every port we called against local teams. The team enjoyed a good following and our quirky Captain - Captain Ommanney often turned up. At the time there was a popular song MAMY BLUE, which had a haunting melody OH MAMY, OH MAMY MAMY BLUE, OH MAMY BLUE, which when our team was winning and when the Ships Captain was in attendance (and we'd all had a few beers) we changed to OMMANNEY, OMANNY MANNY BLUE, OMMANNEY BLUE.
Happy Days!! /b]
