Ex-clarets Entertain For Disaster Fund

A football joke at Reedley where whatever remarks are being made by Brian Pilkington to referee Les Latcham they seem to be amusing Harry Atherton and the Milan Dynamos captain R. Tuccillo.
The Ex-Clarets opposed both the Britannia and the Milan Dynamos on Sunday, 30th August 1970, in a match at Lucas Sports Ground, Reedley, in aid of the aircrash disaster fund, each of the Padiham clubs fielding a team one in each half.
The Ex-Clarets beat Britannia 2-1 in the pre-interval period and then drew 2-2 with the Dynamos, both providing a large attendance with some entertaining play.
