ON THIS DAY - October 28

49,946 fans cram into The City Ground
On October 28, 1967 nearly 50,000 fans squeezed into The City Ground for our record attendance. A home game against Manchester United was always a high turnout (as it was ten years previous when 47,800 fans made it to Trentside for their visit). This time we topped that by an extra two thousand as 49,946 people saw us beat them 3-1 with a brace from Joe Baker and one from Frank Wignall
