Same experience 165. My mate, a United fan by the way, and I were virtually the last to get into the ground. We’d travelled across from college in Leicester so would have been a bit miffed if we had not got in. Well, I would, I am not so sure about my mate after the result! Cannot believe it is nearly sixty years ago.
