Monroe died in 1962, 61 years ago. Are you really only 66 years old?

No, 76 last week. I’ve got mixed up somewhere, I must have been 14 or 15.

Silly old fool.

First game was as a 7 yr old, to see 2-1 victory v Northampton as a Boxing Day 'treat' in 1962 - so this season is number 61

That would explain your interest in Monroe.

I was six years old at my first game in 1962.

Must've been a bug going round!

At 76 he'll remember his interest but not the reason behind it

Listening to him say that is making me feel worse tbh, what a chance missed.

Took the words right out of my mouth was going to say I remember fancying her but can't remember why 🤣
The first match I can remember was Notts v Swansea Frankie Broome, Bobby Crooks wingers Lawton in the middle and Ivor AllChurch for them who my Grandad and Dad said was a great player. They used to stick us in the kids pen on the cop and try to find you after the match no mean feat with those crowds. I think it was a draw if memory serves me right.

64th for me though I did miss all the eighties so I suppose it could be classed as 50+.
