Things could hardly have got
better for all-round sportsman Jim Standen in 1964. As a goalkeeper with
West Ham United he won an FA Cup winners medal in 1964 and in the same
summer helped Worcestershire to become County cricket champions, finishing
top of the first-class bowling averages in the process.
What a difference a day
makes...well two anyway! On Boxing Day 1963 Burnley beat Manchester United
6-1 at Turf Moor. 48 hours later in the return Division 1 fixture at Old
Trafford Burnley were beaten by a 5-1 scoreline.
