He often arrived by train at Temple Meads and walked to the Gate. On one occasion my father gave him a lift as we were driving along the Cut - he was very outgoing and discussed his team-mates openly as well. Great man, I must have watched him play many many times over the years.
Has anybody noticed the strange statistics of the Scottish Championship? Before last night's games, the top 5 teams were separated by only three points (27/29) and the bottom 5 likewise by two points (12/13).
I'm about the same. The first game, sorry to say, which I remember was the 3-4 defeat by the Gas in the FA Cup in January1958, but I'd been going for a year or two before that.
I remember attending a fancy dress party there in the 60s. Went dressed as Sir Francis Drake. Got some strange looks when I stopped to fill the car with petrol, I can tell you.
Interesting to see that Accrington vs Fleetwood and Morecambe vs Cambridge are off owing to international call-ups, and yet Sheffield Wednesday vs Bolton goes ahead
