Most liked posts in thread: More oldies from the past

Another for the older members of the forum City team photo 1963/64 season several legends but Rodney Green was one of my favourites, one of the few players to square up to Jimmy Scoular and finish the games with his legs in tact.

 

John Hall, Jim McAnearney, Derek Stokes, Steve Ingle, Jimmy Cuthbertson.

 

Thank goodness they have learnt from the past as you'll know for many years it was common practice for fans to change ends to which end their team were attacking second half, but I do believe the word had been put out that that Friday night the Darlington home end was ours for the night, then the clubs brought in segregation and fans had to stay in the area where they bought tickets, hence we now have teams preferring to attack one end, in our case the Kop second half, there would be little point attacking the Bradford End with no home fans in it, back in the day it was very vocal in the Bradford End and that was just amongst ourselves .

 

Well after consulting with Jimmy Culbertson he tells me it's a lad called Alan York.

 

Start of 1968/69 season.

 

It looks like him from this picture

 

He would have only been a 22 year old kid, I'm not 100%, maybe another of the oldies can confirm ?.

The night we beat Darlington at their place and the wall collapsed and the police had to move City fans round to the other end of the ground.
