Some of the crowd scenes were part of the cup tie between Trin and Wigan at Belle Vue
For the only time a single line of chairs were put inside the fence behind the dead ball line at the Donny road end.
My dad got hold of 1 ticket for those seats which I used
One of the action shots was Fred Smith scoring if you look really really closely there’s a young lad wearing a sheep skin jacket dancing about like a lunatic .............Me!!!! What wonderful memories

His son I think he was the bass player, they were pretty good musicians but not very original good pub band.

I have not seen the film in ages but feel sure that the party house was on Barnsley road before it was demolished.

Tony Costello had the Wakefield Arms right up to closure I think. He played the piano and the Jazz nights at the pub were very popular. I noticed there was a scaffold around the building when I passed the other day. it seems like they're renovating it. The buiding has "listed" status having been one of the first in the world to be built using Portland cement. Joseph Aspdin (the inventor of Portland cement) had his works just around the corner on the site that became Kirkgate railway station). History lesson over

His brother, Pat, sang and played along with the Bushmen from time to time.

Before Tony Costello started playing with the bushmen, him and his wife used to drink in the Newton House Club where he was a member before it was knocked down and replaced by the Roundhouse.
