First try on the highlights at 0:35. Eric Waligunda dives in.

I see that the field was marked in metres rather than yards, so much for the false idea some forum members have that the official field length was only 100 yards rather than 110 yards back in the day.  Love the deep goal areas too!

Deep goals areas 6 yards to 11 yards

Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits.

I wonder why lots of empty seats for fill when you see the 1972 final it looks full from what the camera shows ?

Different grounds looking at it with 1976 one looking much larger. Assuming 1972 ground was Carcassonne home ground but can't identify 1976.

My wife complains I selfishly stop her fulfilling her true ambition -

she really wants to be a rich widow

No it is the same ground. In Toulouse. Championship Final was held there every year in this period, except the Albi match 1977.

Fair enough. Which ground in Toulouse as doesn't look like Minimes?
