Just one point - there was no "relegation zone' at the bottom of the Fourth Division in those days, if you finished in the bottom four you had to go up for re-election where the other 91 clubs would decide whether you retained your place in the League. Newport would certainly have won re-election and retained their place in the Fourth Division even if they had lost their final match.
Great video...saw Carl Zeiss Jena play my club west brom 2yrs earlier and they looked good then...that save by Hans Ullrich Grapenthin at the end is in my opinion one of the greatest saves I've ever seen!!!
How does this only have 100 views? Interesting video, deserves a lot more.
Thank you! I thought it was a super interesting story that I thought more people should know about

Wrong …re-election had gone by that year . Bottom 4 meant relegation..I was there pal.
