Remember Lazio coming to OBV, hoping to pick up some tips on the beautiful game in 1970;

I went to this game, but can't remember why Rovers were playing them in May....not really a PSF, is it?
Anybody know?

That fey centre forward on the front cover of the programme suggests the Summer of Love even made it to Donny.

And the two defenders look like they'd dropped a tab and shit theresens.

Maybe a warm up for a Anglo-Italian cup game?

almost certainly - Lazio were in the UK to play Wolves and Sunderland in the group stages, and the tournament was held at the end of the season...
