Old action photographs from football matches just look incredible to me. You could always see the sky in the background as stadia were not as large yet, and the players just seemed to be frozen in time. Maybe it's just because they are black and white, but they do look incredible.

Two pictures taken 5 weeks apart January 15th 1958 and February 19th 1958 that don't really need words to tell the story.

Excellent stuff Tom

I envy you and your memories. To have seen so much history and fantastic football at Manchester United...wow. I really appreciate the history articles you put together.

these are great - thanks for sharing.

i'd love to get a larger size one of that Charlton goal.

It took me a few minutes to work out what had happened to the keeper's leg in the Charlton goal photo. It sort of looks like it has bent the wrong way because of the angle and how the light has fallen on it.

Some really lovely pictures Tom. :)

Sent the link across to my grampa and dad, who both say they bring back lovely memories. Thanks. :)
