Started watching in 1960 but the first I really remember was when we played Wigan. I think it would be 2nd round of CC in 1961. Went with my dad and we lost 2-0. Apparently Jan Prinsloo had a golden opportunity to score but took the wrong option on the outside and was tackled into touch.. 28,000 in the ground that day!
i also remember this match, it was one of my earliest memories although my dad had been taking me also from 1960 when i was just 11 years old. we used to walk all the way down to Belle Vue from Eastmoor. i remember the massive crowd and me not been very tall been passed over the shoulders of the crowd to a position at the front as i couldn't see a thing at the back. great days and some great memories of the fantastic team from the early 60's.
