Video from 1962
Hello
I 'm from Greece.
Some friends of mine are looking for the video of a match between AEK of Athens and Bolton Wanderers from 1962.
Those years we had only cinema newsreels - the "epikaira" which was like the British Pathe films but the person in charge of the national archives says that a flood destroyed many of them several years ago, in the eighties.
The reason why there is a slender chance it may have survived is that it was a match held in honour of the Greek royal family, the centennial celebrations. There were some special programs in illustration paper and also royals invited to attend the match. Maybe the young prince Charles ? It's possible but I don't remember exactly who was present.
Could the club be asked about it ?

There is (or maybe was with the current turmoil) a Club Historian (the Club Secretary) - Simon Marland. I'm trying to dig out his e-mail address...anyone else have it?
Found it. [email protected]

Thank you, I will write to mr. Marland.
If we find it, it will be a gift to football legend of Greece Kostas Nestoridis.
