Unbelievably Sydney football has witnessed the mistaken early endings to matches over the years but there was one year when it happened in the preliminary final. Then, incredibly enough, when the match was replayed because of it, the bell AGAIN rang early. Read of what really happened.

c1972 Western Suburbs v St George

This image may evoke some memories.

Taken most probably on 6 August 1972 at Picken Oval, Croydon Park.

The game is the first grade match featuring Western Suburbs and St George clubs with a packed crowd of cars lining the perimeter of the ground on what then was a private trotting track.

The long gone scoreboard is in the background with part of the then Campsie Bowling Club (now the Korean Social Club) on the left.

Wests won the game 20-19 to 12-9 on what was a top of the table clash.

Can you name the players?
