It's by Robert Gate and a superb read. Some great personal stories in there from fans and players alike.

Quote: Teessidewire "
Cheers Teesside, we have a copy in the family. The game has another story in my family in that my Mother took ill at the Wembley final, managed to get back to Warrington but has no memory for weeks after until one day in Warrington hospital she was awaken by a number of the players holding the cup. So it was quite emotional for her to be able to read about the game she missed.

b.t.w my mother and father didn't know each other in 54 so it was interesting for our family to hear both accounts of the famous game.

My mother went with my uncle. When we scored she threw her bob hat into the air never to be seen again. I was not quite 1 at the time so, surprisingly, I don't remember much!!

Unfortunately, the picture posted by Buckley Street Wire is a fake. At the time, the Odsal terraces included at least two dead areas from which you couldn't see the pitch at all and that picture has been altered to make them look full. For a genuine photograph - although much poorer quality - see

Having said that, I have no doubt that the crowd was much bigger then the official figure of 102,569. I was there and I was amongst many thousands who simply walked in without paying

Always wondered what the makeup of the crowd was. 50/50 split between Wire and Fax or was it more Fax? Anyone remember?
