Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Burnley Through. DESCRIPTION: Sheffield United kicked off against Burnley at Bramall Lane. Nearly 60,000 were present, as United opened with a quick offensive. Almost at once, they were handicapped by an injury to their left-half, Gerry Summers. Then came the accident off the field, the collapse of railings, when spectators had surged forward in their excitement. A number of people suffered injuries. The second half came, and there was no score by either side. It was Burnley who took the next step towards Wembley, when centre-forward Pointer scored. SHOTLIST: Key scene. GV Sheffield kick off.
