SATURDAY SPORTS SPOT

This was Wembley's blackest hour

By L. M. MacTAVISH

(Writing from London):

The pageant that is Wembley was again as glorious and glittering as any that has gone before but unfortunately the 1960 centre piece of the pattern-the football match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers may be tagged in the historical archives as the worst FA Cup Final of all time.

It was a positive shocker.

The British press and football officials have unanimously lambashed the game in vitriolic terms as unprecedented as the booing which broke out when Bill Slater, Wolves Skipper, stepped up to receive the cup from HRH The Duchess of Gloucester-as unprecedented too, as the shower of oranges, orange peel and miscellaneous rubbish which greeted the referee and the winning players and officials as they made their way to the dressing rooms after the game.

Sitting next to me was one of the directors of a famous North of England club. He was visibly shocked by the early strong-arm stuff dished up by Wolves and he was equally disgusted with the astonishing off-side tactics they persistently employed,

Midway through the second half, when the pace of the game bad slowed down to a casual crawl, he could contain himself no longer.

"Tha's mad'

"Two hundred miles and Atty bob see this muck," he burst out, "A with A'd stayed ip Lancashire and watched circus on Telly."
