The big December challenge is on… one retro football post every day until Christmas Day… we can do it, especially if you help out a bit….
Bristol City have given over both the front and back of their programme for this 1979 Christmas cartoon.
Santa has invaded the pitch and joined in the game… with hilarious consequences.
Witnessed by a Robin in football boots and a packed crowd of baldy big noses.
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8&9 Day 10 Day 11
You’d better be good for goodness sake, if you want the retro-footy-grumble-fest ‘Got, Not Got’… runner-up in this year’s Footy Book of the Year, in your Christmas stocking (pillow case).
Available from branches of WH Smith and Waterstones or online here…

Quite a bit of thought as gone into that cover as it’s highly likely that Southampton would have been playing in their yellow and blue away kit in that fixture…. either that or they got lucky!
