Jan 2nd 1960.
Manchester City 4:1 Sheffield Wednesday.
I was 6 and my dad decided as a treat I was old enough to go to my first game. The pitch seems to have shrunk allarmingly as I have become older as I swear it was at least a mile long the first time I saw it.
I stood on the crash barriers in the Kippax stand and held my dad’s neck. My hero was Trautmann and I was dissappointed that he let 5 goals in in the first 3 minutes but then dad told me that they were only warming up!!!
Don’t know who scored (Joe Hayes got one I think?)I remember Trautmann making one good save but little else. Still it must have stirred something because I’m still going 50 years later.
