We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

I hate to ruin the trivia question for the rest of you but I think I know the answer to this.
The answer is:
The Coco Cola Championship Play off Final
Oh, you bugger! How did you get it that quickly. You're absolutely right. The play-off win is currently valued at £40 million, primarily due to the insane Premiership telly money.
Okay, since that one went so quickly, here's another you'll be hard pressed to get right off the bat.
"Which single match had the biggest British footie attendance of all time?"
The first one was easy because I think we talked about when Leeds were in it in May!
Interesting Leeds talk on Five Live tonight.
How about the 1923 FA Cup Final?
It could be an Old Firm derby though
That's incredible. I would have guessed some CL nonsense. Is it really the Coke?
Dave's the warmest with the guess of Scotland. But not an Old Firm game. Any other guesses?
Yes, Gooner, the Coke Playoff is - believe it or not - worth about £40 million for the winner because entrance to the Premiership is the Golden Egg these days with the television cash. So Watford got the £40 mill and Leeds got...well, second bottom in the Coke says it all. (sigh)
Scotland England game in the '30s about 130-140 Thousand
You're close but that one was pipped by one more. It's a club match, if that helps.
Right all you wasters, here's the answer:
1970 Fairs Cup (UEFA Cup) Semi Final second leg Celtic vs. Leeds
A whopping 133,000 attended this match at Hampden Park (used instead of Parkhead because of the projected size of the crowd). No doubt due to the number of haggis-swinging Scots, Leeds succumbed to the hoops 2-1 and went out of the competition 3-1 on aggregate.
