Spot on in all respects, InsideLeft. Was at the match with my father (Gwilym Hughes) who was seldom without his Super8 camera. I knew he had recorded bits of the game; I also remember seeing it back after on the reel to reel. My father has a treasure trove of footage, much of which is now at Aberystwyth in the National Archives, & most has now been transferred to digital. About 3 years back, I asked him about the Burnley footage. Boy... was it hard to trace. He had inadvertently mis-labelled the match. Phew !!! Now it is available for all & is surely unique. Just after putting it on YouTube, I bumped into Arfon Griffiths & Brian Lloyd in town.... both were fascinated by the footage being available.

Enjoy all ! COYR
