    26 Dec 1962 Wolves 0-2 (Abandoned) Some Christmas treat that was. It was perishingly cold and I passed out and was taken to the boot room to recover. Not a nice day

    Same game. Got home to Leominster round about midnight. The points on the rail track kept freezing up and had to be manually de-iced. As you say, not the best of days.

    Probably Villa around 1958 or 9 but I don't remember.
    I know I was at the 1957 cup semi-final as I have a photo.

    Smashing photo, Chris. (Which one is you?)

    My 1st (excl. Villa/Blues) was Stoke 1965 - great day out, playing up on the train, but I think we lost 2-0.

    I don't know that bloke behind me but he seems to be giving me an odd look! Worried me for years that has, he's probably only looking at the cameraman. Here's more, from the evening paper of the time. 21 months old! Wasn't a true away match as it was on a neutral ground. I was at the Hawthorns whilst in the womb so I'm told. Don't remember it though.

    The first i can remember is Blackpool, March 1960, lost 1-2. I think Matthews played. Mom and dad took me, we went on a Friday night and and stayed the weekend.

    I was also at Goodison for the cup game in 1974. The first game played on a Sunday.
