TIE BREAKER: What was the attendance at the 1960 European Cup Final between Eintracht Frankfurt and Real Madrid at Hampden?

(I’ve known the EXACT official attendance at this game - not the rounded-up generally-accepted and most-often-published version - since I was 12 years old: It’s the first attendance I ever memorised. It was the start of my descent into anorak hell/heaven. The chances of two more punters who read this site also knowing this exact figure are even longer than the chances of anything coming from Mars … they said. So - YES - the tie-breaker is also an honesy test. Get it right and I’ll think yer a liar. How ironic)
