Sixty years ago today 11:16 - Apr 22 with 592 views

Sixty years ago today we bear Sunderland 4-0 to clinch promotion from the old Div 2. A different era I know, but that season we scored 100 League goals, with Ray Crawford getting 40 and Ted Phillips 30. What a contrast to now! I was at the game as a 10 year old but can't remember much about the game other than we stood in the old chicken run, which was unusual for my dad.

It was before my time but my dad loved that team. His favourites were Phillips because if his thunderbolt shot and ‘sticks’ Leadbetter.

I was there too but I do not remember much about it.

I assume that I would have been in the West Stand because that's where I was throughout 1961/62 but for some reason I have in the back of my mind that I was in the North Stand for that Sunderland game.

Attendance was 21115.

I doubt we'd bear Sunderland now. No wonder we're all grizzly.

Poll:

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?
