I'd allus thought over the years, Ray Wood mate was afore ironside. But looks like they were together at the same time. So I must have seen him play. Having thought not. 65-69 ironside 113 games. 66-68 Wood 30 games.
We got relegated in 1958/9, four years after promotion from 3rd North in 1954/5. As I've mentioned before, my first match was a 2-1 victory over Leeds on 20th August 1955, our opening game after the promotion season.
Can't remember which season I first started going. All I remember was the theme from 'The good the bad and the ugly' being played each time I went, the smell of bovril, the smell of fags and a scoreboard I couldn't understand
Yes they were there at the same time.I think Wood was in the Man.Utd squad that crashed in Munich.I can,t recall seeing him again after my first match.
jammy sod! What a start! My first introduction to Clarkey was giving him some stick when he played against us in the cup for Leicester
1978/79 my first proper season too. I vaguely remember being taken to the odd game the previous season by my Dad, but I was only 7 or 8. John Peachey looks like Borat in that photo
