Brazil Friendly

[eastern eagle]

Neil,
I thought his game was around 1961/62 maybe we played them twice ??
Anyway the one I remember we
lost 2-0, they came from Sao Paolo I think, but were a second or third division team over there, no 'known'players but they outplayed us.

Cheers mate, I thought it was late 60's, but can't be sure until I get home, so you are probably right.

I recently picked up a teamsheet for a friendly Palace played against a Brazilian side called Bangu.

The game was in the late- sixties and I was wondering if anyone out there has any information on the game, the score or anymore about the opposition (I've never heard of them).

[Neil the Eagle]

Yeah, you're "bang" on EE, although the teamsheet doesn't have a year the next advertised game is in Aldershot in Div 4 - and we've still got Johnny Byrne.

According to the notes Bangu were champions the year before (of what it doesn't say).

Do you have a lot of info. about Palace against international oposition, Eastern? If so, this would really help the book project we are currently involved in for the Trust. E-mail me, if you feel you can help!
