I remember Rees getting married and his reception was at Westfield House that’s were the small territory army base is if it’s still there off Radford Road lived near there and somehow we found out and word got round and dozens of local kids mobbed the place.

There’s another game which is on YouTube and that’s Huddersfield away in what was the last game of the season before our promotion year, we were third they were second neck and neck but Southampton were fourth with two games in hand. One at bottom of the league Leyton Orient the other at league...

Yes it was incredible, 0-1 at half-time but we quickly scored a couple after half-time and each time fans swamped the pitch and there was an announcement over the tannoy warning the referee had said he would abandon the game if it happened again and Ronnie Rees ( you would have loved him) hit a...

The gates at most games in those days were large, I remember us playing Bournemouth Easter, who were promotion rivals, John Bond their manager, again it was a huge gate given as 30000 but was a lot more, my dad always told me they stopped counting them in 15 minutes before kick-off, he was...

Me and my mate used to get to HR early to get autographs we got there around 12 and the queue of Wolves fans went from the Main Stand right down King Richard Street and into Far Gosford Street. I had a season ticket at the time thankfully it wasn’t all ticket either and the queues to get in were...

Without doubt Sunderland, another night game,to give you some idea we always parked in King Edward Road that night we had to park right down Harnell Lane nearer to Stoney Stanton Road, got to the ground just before seven and there were no queues as such just a mass of people around the ground...

Fire away,

Peterborough away, 1964, night game we needed a win to secure promotion to second division, we lost 2-0, Derek Dougan who was always a bloody pest to us, scored two I think. night to remember though, went straight from school, down to Pool Meadow, Met the old man, there were dozens of coaches in...

First game around 1961 two games I went to Bury then Walsall we lost both 2-1 sat in the old stand opposite the players tunnel I remember the cigar smell and men yelling at the players. Went to a few the next season including my first away match at Brentford lost the 2-1 too, perhaps should have...

One thing for certain it’ll be a lot different and for a long time imo, not just football either, racing, rugby I reckon this is a long haul to normality until some sort of vaccination is ready.

Apart from thousands of fans travelling into another city every fortnight we are going to need increased revenue more than ever. There will be football clubs go to the wall due to all this. We are in a position when some sort of normality returns our gate return could atleast treble, it needs...

I know but if you haven’t noticed things have changed, do you think on resumption it will be the same as it was, I don’t and if away fans were barred for a time where would that leave us ? It needs sorting,

We need the ground situation sorted there’s no guarantee St Andrews will be allowed a chap on the radio the other day talking about all this said even when football returns he doesn’t see 50k gates as an example returning for a while and away fans travelling around like they used to for a long...

I have my doubts if there will be a full champions league next season it means all Europe being back to normal, I’ve a feeling they will finish this season’s competition next season.

Listened to a radio program yesterday chap talking about sport re-starting, thought it will soon Government are keen as a moral boost but reckons it will be a long time before we see 50000 gates again and even longer before away fans are allowed.

Not at St Andrews it won’t.

Oh dear, simply the best striker in my time watching footie.

I’m fearful for the guy, he will have been closely monitored the last week by top doctors and for it to still turn as serious as this is disturbing. Listened to medical expert on radio this afternoon and he said once this virus gets into the lungs it starts to attack other organs. Genuine...

We won’t, I heard the other day people are dying of other issues who may have lived longer so not part of the official figures, it’s bloody frightening.
