keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 4, 2019 I moan about goalkeepers nowadays but that wasn't the greatest display. Perhaps Keelan spoilt us or our memories are clouded by romantic thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggler 7 Posted March 4, 2019 It was Sandy Kennon’s debut In front of 38,000! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps Keelan spoilt us or our memories are clouded by romantic thoughts. Sandy Kennon was noticeably nervous on his debut. Was it Hopkinson or Hogkinson in the Blades net?

Juggler 7 Posted March 4, 2019 Alan Hodgkinson. I think Hopkinson played for Bolton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 4, 2019 Dad wouldn't let me go to the games. He said it was a bit cramped and I probably wouldn't see anything. Had to sit at home and listen on the radio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 4, 2019 I expect that was a 7.15pm kickoff with 10 minutes for half time. And special buses waiting on Riverside Road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Hockey's Beard 527 Posted March 4, 2019 I'm pretty certain my Dad was there and made the mistake of taking up position behind one of the crash barriers. He never made that mistake again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted March 5, 2019 Remember being at West Earlham Junior School listening to the Luton replay on the radio. 2.30pm kick off at St Andrews that day. Mr Smith let us off lessons to listen to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
