Being an old arse, I can remember going to an FA cup game at Anfield in the sixties. We were beaten by Chelsea I think? On the way back on the ferry to Seacombe I was unfortunate enough to be surrounded by Evertonians all taking the piss because they won their tie.
Am I right in thinking that we both played at home at the same time? I know it wouldn't happen these days for safety sake never mind the television.
It is possible they had been to a reserve game but somehow I doubt it. Anyway it was reasonably good natured unlike today with all the nastiness that goes on and I remember this Liverpool supporting feller saying to me that that whoever Everton got in the next round they would be battered. Unfortunately I think they won the cup that year so possibly it would have been 66, so he was wrong. :sigh:
Can some statto fill in the missing details and when did they stop allowing two clubs from the same city playing FA cup ties at home on the same day?
