1963 Title win

[Toffeelover]

My old fella was too Steve,he remembers the shock went around the ground when Roy Vernon scored with a header in that game,think he got a hat trick

He did. I was a scruffy snotty nosed teenager in jeans, black winkle pickers and duffle coat.

I was there as well, Royston got a hat trick and I think Chico got the other one, happy days

Lucky Sod!!I wasn't born for another two years,a month in fact after the RS spawned their first FA Cup

You know Dario, think others will recall. Queuing out side GSE, huge great brick walls in front of you as you shuffle to the turnstile with your dosh handy. The usual copper or two on great big brown horses keeping you inline and in check. The joyful banter of the fans coupled with the eagerness to get in and get to your spot. No seats all on foot. No doubt many other folk will recall from back then. We all smoked like hell as well.

Was too young to go in The Winslow.

What do you think? The pity of it is that because there was little in the way of recording games back then very few moments on film unlike today.

Mores the pity, it was a very good team.

I was only five years old!

I would like to sat, we had a world class midfielder but because of sheer stupidity him and Bronco Layne were banned for life. This idiocy occurred at Sheffield Wednesday. Yep Tony Kay, he was class and would have gone and won more honours but for that stupidity.

Me arl fella (Dirty red that he is) said Kay quite possibly would've lifted the WC as captain.

Finest midfielder of that era, he says.

I am reading Colin Harvey's book at the minute. He says Tony Kay would have been in Bobby Stile's shirt for the World Cup if it wasn't for a £50 bet on Sheffield Wednesday to lose. It wasn't as if he didn't try to help Wednesday, apparently he was MOTM.

Labby stated Kay was the most arrogant B he had ever met, but a great player!
