This was an FA Cup 5th Round tie in February 1951. Rovers met Newcastle United in the 6th Round and lost in a replay. That was when Rovers fans took up 'Goodnight Irene" as their theme song.
no chance this is not 1958, more like 1948, revie was a veteran at sunderland then, went to leeds shortly afterwards as a player, then became manager.
Great pictures! Thanks. As a school boy in the early 70s I used to work with Vic Lambden at the Bath Road Esso petrol station in Keynsham. What ever happened to Vic?

This game definitely wasn't in 1958, more likely 1950 or 1951.
