63 years ago today, I think.
I think it was mentioned last week that it was the anniversary of Vollenhoven's first game for Saints.
His second game was at Knowsley Road the following weekend in the A team against either Workington or Whitehaven and that was that was my first ever game; so if I've got my sums right its 63yrs ago today, assuming that both games were on a Saturday
I was only 7 yrs old, my dad took me, I went in the boys pen behind the post and my dad stood on the terraces just the other side of the wall .
I remember Voll scoring.
A few years ago an article in the Star or Reporter said it was still a record attendance for an A team match.
He certainly had everyone buzzing.
Just curious if theres anyone else on here who was there that day.
