Rare BBC Match of the Day footage from more than 40 years ago will be screened at an evening for Trust members in Pontypridd.
Club historian Richard Shepherd will host the evening at the Rose and Crown pub in High Street, Graig, on Thursday, January 21, starting at 7.30pm.
Alongside Richard will be Peter Jackson, who covered Cardiff City for the South Wales Echo during the Jimmy Scoular era. Former Bluebirds legends Gary Bell and Leighton Phillips have accepted invitations to attend and we hope more ex-players can attend.
Trust vice chair David Craig said: “Richard will tell the story of his discovery of the films and restoring of film which everyone thought was lost.
“Excerpts from the restored film covering the period between 1969 and 1972 will be shown in chronological order with Richard giving a brief introduction to each one and then opening a discussion with ex-players.There is 40 minutes of restored film.”
All the matches are from the Match of the Day Wales opt-outs at the time.
Numbers are limited so Trust members wishing to should email help@ccfctrust.org
We’d like to wish all members a happy and peaceful Christmas and a prosperous new year
