Thermopylae 15,287 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 ... and of course the population of the coutry was much less back in Greigys day so his crowd was actually bigger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briton 394 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 We might not have that record but what about the biggest crowd for a friendly? There was a gate of 95,000 for the game against Moscow Dynamo during their famous 1945 tour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
