Retro Round-Up: 7 June 2013

What a week it's been in the world of football nostalgia, but then again, when is it never a bad week in the world of football nostalgia?

To prove the point, here's our selection of the best retro football stuff we could find on the web from the past week or so, starting with something that we just missed out on when we published last week's round-up...

How things have changed... West Ham celebrate victory over Preston in the 1964 FA Cup Final by filling the cup with... milk? See for yourself over at Footysphere...

A lovely tale of Subbuteo playing past and present awaits visitors to The Daisy Cutter...

FootballGaffesGalore continues to find lots of lovely video clips of retro football for us to enjoy. This selection features Birmingham City prominently, but also look out for a rarely seen Sunderland away kit...

And finally, Robbie Fowler's low point in football (or 'high', depending on which way you look at it) is digitised for posterity by 8-Bit Football...
