I've been watching the Jimmy Greaves Story on youtube, where he's being interviewed by the late Brian Moore.
If you look at 4.50 Brian says here's a clip of a 3rd round cup match with Bradford City in 1958
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRjs7AX3GXk
Chesea won 5-1 but if you look at the FA cup records for '58 Bradford City got to to the 3rd round before losing at Scunthorpe.
24 Scunthorpe United 1–0 Bradford City 4 January 1958
Pathe News must have it wrong.
The League Cup didn't start till 1960.

My first game at Bradford City was not till the year after, but I'm sure I'd have remembered this scoreline.

brendan, Bradford City got to the 5th round in 1960 as I was there. Lost 5-0 at Burnley in the replay.
It was obviously Bradford Park Avenue, not Bradford City as stated on the clip. Well done, cheers. |

It was definately Avenue, I remember many of the names on the teamsheet.

What an amazing goalscoer and terrific player Greaves was. He'd fetch 150million these days. Seems to be on the mend after his bad stroke.

From a Blade Kenny, what do you think of Phil Parkinson ?
|

By:
He has his faults, but overall he's a top notch manager, looks like there's a few clubs sniffing around.

By:
I think you're one of them.
