I remember watching the cup final in 55 and again in 56 on a little 7inch TV behind a large magnifying glass. We lost the first one but won the second, but my first memory of going to Maine Road was, I think in the September. We played Blackpool and it was the tangerine shirts of Blackpool I remember most. We were in the main stand at the back and the seats, I think, were like the pews in a church, long and brown. I suspect all the regulars from the Cup Final played, and possibly Stan Matthews. I know we won 2-0. So, three matches, won two, lost one and in the three matches, TWO cup finals. Great days!
