A rare souvenir programme from the Manchester United tour of the U.S.A., New Zealand and Australia. 'A gruelling but entertaining 24 days then ensued in Australia, as George Best and co ran wild, scoring 33 goals and winning seven of the eight games in front of a combined 191,759 supporters.'. Manchester United - 4, Victoria State XI - 0 Melbourne, 21 June 1967. A return match against the Victoria State XI ? the only side to deny United victory thus far in New Zealand or Australia. Law came back into the side for only his second appearance of the tour, having overcome his injury troubles, and netted twice, though Best stole the show once more, creating both Law goals and notching the Reds' fourth himself with a virtuosic solo effort. The visitors' opener had been gifted by NSW defender Billy Cook ? formerly of Kilmarnock ? who mistakenly chipped his own 'keeper. Accompanied by a range of photographic stickers featuring most of the squad.
