'Looks & Smiles' film features three clips of what I reckon is @SheffieldUnited 3-1 @OfficialECFC on 18/10/80. This includes a wonderful turn by Bob Hatton.
Link should start at the first of the three clips - all of which are within a couple of minutes.

@owlmanac - would be good to send you a press release regarding this.
Warrington Rylands hit the crossbar in the last few minutes of extra-time with the @NorthernPremLge play-off final at 1-1. @htfc went in to win it on penalties

If you're an admirer of George Robledo, the first overseas star of English football, then you could do worse than buy today's Daily Mail & turn to p11 of the sports section.
Well done & thanks @Matt_Barlow_DM for shining a light on George and my book 'Postcards From Santiago'.
Non-league football is thriving.
