Ah the nostalgia! I had one of those in my scarf collection. Also the printed traditional style plus the really Man U versions of red white black and white red black. Bobble hats were optional then.........like rosettes and rattles.

SW think I've mentioned it before but my old man still has a red and a white scarf like the e bay one up in the attic with a ton of old Robins Reviews and an old Alty shirt of mine.  The shirt is circa '78 with the 2 buttons and black collar.  Classy!

I've still got my flag - bought for my (then) 3 year old daughter off a cockney flag seller - from the 78 final with the legend ALTRINGHAM on it. I always smile when other teams/papers/internetees call us that  :D
