Quote: Trinity1315 "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!'"
Quote: Trinity1315 "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.'"
Both of you can't have got it wrong so it must be me, there can't be too many games where we lost 2-0 but the memory I have is that it was St Helens and Alex Murphy who kicked us to death on a very very windy day, and although we were playing towards the scoreboard end with the wind in the second half they managed to keep us out, was that the same game or am I mixed up and got the wrong game which would obviously be at at another time.
