I went as a kid in the 40’s can’t remember who we played, but I know the team; Swift, Sproston, Barkas, Walsh, Cardwell, McDowell, Dunkerley, Herd, Constantine, Smith, & a player on loan Pearson, I think from Grimsby. With most of the lads in the Forces, we had an old team with visiting players. I am still as excited now as as was then when the Blues come out. Sat on the touchline on occasion at Maine Road with 80,000 plus, no problems!
