...This will bring back memories to the old school fans - our 1970-71 promotion season, our away win at gillingham. Some bloke called Barrett seems to be involved a lot - he wears the No11 shirt!
Click on the link, our game starts from 120:14 and finishes at 121:13 (double the time we got on MOTD!) With grateful thanks to Keith for the find:-

Thanks for sharing Ed, always good to see any highlights with Les and Jimmy shining. (i still don't like those red socks tho)
Thanks for this some great memories also good to see the ex Fulham Combo of Macdonald and Ryan teaming up for Luton
Loads of Fulham in the Gillingham end
Barrett and Conway - what a combination! Imagine two wingers like that playing for us today.
Great stuff -thanks for posting.
About 30 Millwall in the Gillingham End supporting Fulham too. They always have hated Gillingham.
Thanks a lot. A feast of nostalgia for an old bum like me.
When Barrett was on form like this he murdered full-backs for fun.
Mike Pentecost may not have been the best full-back we ever had , but I played alongside him at Sutton when we were kids.
That was Arsenal's Double year, what a team that was. And it still looks as if George Graham scores - although we now know it was Eddie Kelly's goal.
Best-Charlton-Law - did any English team ever have three such players up front? Certainly not all-British.
Nice pitch at Maine Road - in glorious colour too!
Goals from Allan Clarke.
Brief glimpse of the tiny genius that was Jimmy Johnstone.
The frustrating Martin Chivers destroying Scotland. A world beater on one day, rubbish the next.
Bobby Tambling, still I think Chelsea's leading scorer, playing for Crystal Palace alongside Gerry Queen. Was this the season that Queen was sent off for fighting which gave rise to the immortal headline "QUEEN IN BRAWL AT PALACE"?
And that's just the last bit!
I was there.

Once again, every video I see with Barrett makes me appreciate him more. Good pace and two good feet. Man, I love a good winger.

Next season should be quite tasty.
I was there. I remember driving back up to London, there were black and white scarves trailing from most car windows.
I remember it well, a bit of trouble in the high street before the game.
Looking at the film overall it shows the quality around in those days, considering the pitches and the fact you could kick lumps out of each other IMO it was a better game. Players are fitter,stronger and more organised today, but better ? Never.
When you consider how excited people get about a goal or a move in today's game with all the media coverage, looking at this old film the goals, players etc compare very favorably.
Happy Days!
I was at the Gillingham game, one of the first in the ground. Fulham took over the home end and by the time their lot arrived it was full ! Happy days.
