This must be from the Saturday night programme 'Sports Special', which showed brief football highlights (on film!) in the pre-MOTD days ... really evocative stuff. It's not often that you see *TV* clips where all the fans really do have rattles etc. - it's usually Pathe News.
This is the week before JFK was killed and Doctor Who started!
Great and rare footage of Big Pat, then only 18... The best keeper ever.
Interesting to watch his duel with Derek Dougan, they would soon become Norn Iron team mates, but by then Pat still hadn't made his full international debut. It happened against Wales in April 1964, while he still was with Watford. George Best made his debut in the very same game.

The Posh should have nailed that one. Luckily the Watford defender showed us how to finish.
