@BoomRadioUK Great chart, 1966. I know my fellow Boom listeners always vote for 1967 as their favourite year for pop songs. But for me, the classic year has always been 1966.

It was an absolute privilege to sit down with @robsawyer70 + talk about his fantastic new book,'Broken Dreams'. Rob outlines what a fantastic team Everton's 1939 title winning side was + how WW2 deprived them of a lasting legacy. Have a listen + buy this superb book. #EFC #NSNO

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Third Lanark AC, a club that had a lot of success in the late 19th and early 20th century. The club was founded on the 12th of December, 1872, and was an offshoot of 3rd Lanarkshire Riffle regiment, hence the name 3rd Lanark to start off with. They were one of the founding members of the Scottish Football Association in 1872. They soon started joining the Glasgow Football Association in 1883 and played their games at Cathkin Park. The club reached the Scottish Cup final on two occasions, first in 1876 and then again in 1878. The 1876 final was played twice after the first game was drawn with Queens Park, 1-1. The second game saw Third Lanark lose 2-0. Their second final defeat came against Vale of Leven, losing 1-0. The game was played at the first Hampden Park in front of 5,000. Ironically, it was Third time lucky for the club as they finally won the Scottish Cup in 1889, beating Celtic FC, 3-0 in the final. In 1890, the club became founding members of the Scottish Football League. They officially had their name changed to Third Lanark AC in 1903, with links to the military cut. The 1903-04 season saw the club win their only Scottish League title in their history, finishing ahead of 2nd place Hearts, by 4 points. The only other honours of note that the club won were the Scottish Football League Divison Two titles I'm the 1930s. The last trophy the club lifted was the Glasgow Cup in 1963. Four years later, the club found itself in the lower tiers and found it hard to attract fans to games. At one game, against Clydebank, only 297 people came to watch Third Lanark win 1-0. That would end up being Third Lanark's last ever victory, and when they played a 3-3 draw on the 25th of April, 1967, they had played their last game at Cathkin Park. Their last official game was a defeat to Dumbarton on April 25th, 1967, when they last 5-1. June 26th, 1967, was the official day the club was wound up and ceased to exist. Cathkin Park has been subject to much debate in regards to how it should be kept, with housing plans being put forward, whilst others feel it should be protected at all costs. It has become a place that football fans from all over the world have visited whilst in Glasgow. 📸 Third Lanark A.Cs crest

Sorting through family mementos and just came across my maternal grandfather's ticket from the 1928 FA Cup Final; the most recent occasion on which his team, @Rovers, lifted the famous trophy.

🇧🇷 Another maestro from Brazil, Garrincha honed his skills alongside Pelé. He was known for his dribbling skills and his technique was unmatched. Fair to say he’s probably still the best dribbler of the ball in history.
