Old Sod's Army-1959

[bog]

When we went up in 1959 and played Spuds away and I was among the 54,000 crowd at White Hot Lane. We scored first through Johnny Haynes  :clap_hands: and led at half time but annoyingly Dave Mackay equalised and it finished 1-1.  As usual no one gave us a chance that long gone day. One of the games I will never forget.  049:gif

I would be more than happy with the same scoreline today, wish we had a Haynes in the team.

Captain, please help out my memory, I was taken to WHL as a youngster to see Fulham who were playing in BLUE and dear Tony Macedo got a bit confused and after making a save rolled the ball to the nearest WHITE shirt, who just happened to be Jimmy Greaves!!!

What year was that? Early to mid 60's ????

I think it was 1962, final score 1 1.

Stand easy Fernhurst! Have checked the records and it looks like being 13th April 1963. I was not there but have vague recollection of Tony Macedo doing that. As an aside '63 was that awful winter of frozen discontent  and we played 7 games in 23 days!!
