    Rawmarsh baths! Now there's a topic for a thread. Hollies, Tom Jones, Wilson Pickett, all played there.
    Joe Cocker at the Mod Club. Brilliant!
    And who could forget Dave, Dee, Beaky, Mitch and whatever the other one was called, at the Rotherham Baths.

    The avatar (thanks CAM) shows a team led by Danny Williams at Millmoor, in arguably the Millers greatest days in the 50s.

    Some good stuff there, giddy. I would however widen the "greatest days" a bit from the 1946-7 season when a club that had done little pre-war put a run of 5 great seasons in 3N together then had 15 years or so of doing pretty well in Div.2 (including 3rd) and a final and two QF appearances in the League Cup in the first half of the sixties. Great days.

    Agreed, Lol. I also don't think youngsters appreciate what 1966 meant to the nation either and then for Celtic and Man.Utd to win the European Cup was (for me at least) great. And just for a few short months I thought the Doc was gonna take us to the Promised Land.

    Not critising,just thinking.I,m from that era as well and remember those games fondly but we seem to forget Spurs in 1963 and Weat Ham in 65 both winning the cup winners cup(also Man City70 and Chelsea 71).

    Quite right, Tom. I suspect that my real interest in football was galvanised by the 1966 World Cup, hence the two earlier finals didn't register as much with me.
