Inter-League Matches 1961

[Very Oldie]

In Nov 1961, The Football League played  game against The Italian League, (including Denis law, then with Torino) - one at Old Trafford plus a Scottish League equivalent in Glasgow.   Some other oldies and me all have 'memories' of coming over to a similar game t Ewood, but none of has a programme & no details seem to be listed anywhere.......   Are we misremembering some other event, or DID it take place.....and does a programme still exist out there??   Thanks

This English vs Irish league one is at Blackpool not Rovers one year earlier, could it be this?:

Thanks.   Info correct, but as we only went to see Denis, who had then not yet gone to Italy, it was not that one we're all 'remembering'.  [ It is a shame these entertaining games were inevitably scrubbed, once with the later Euro competitions emerged.
