Kev Lewis was the year above me when I was at David Lister - he was the best schoolboy player I ever saw; he was also same year as a Rugby League player, Mick Crane, he went on to have a very good career playing for Leeds and both Hull clubs.

Mick Crane was a cracking player. I once saw him, when playing for Rovers, give the Cas defence this outrageous dummy and half the crowd swayed. He was never out of Corals in North Point Centre when I worked there in the 1980s. Very unassuming, quiet guy. Sadly passed away a few years ago.
He was doing the same as a schoolkid; he was the main reason Lister were unbeatable in the mid/late 60s - he got on a jinking run and he was unstoppable.
My father in law played with him. Said he would pass him smoking a tab on his way to the field and then at half time he would have another as well as a few gulps of whiskey. Unreal talent which made him find playing so easy.
Went to school with Mick, some interesting memories

I knew Gerry Ingram a bit years ago
In fact stayed with him in LA
Brilliant footballer he had a picture on his wall of him jumping above Pele and heading the ball.
Great story teller too.
the young Kev Lewis was a beast as a youngster too but came back disillusioned when others caught up with him. Played for us a few games and was poor but his heart had gone out of it.
His brother Wayne had a good career in semi pro for hall rd etc

Beat 2-0,Frankie Banks had a bit of a nightmare...
Lol. I thought the same.
I was wondering for the first goal what the Coyle haters would have said if Lewie gave his man that much room.

Something to do with the British Heart Foundation trying to promote CPR...
I was wondering that when I saw it the other day.
Are they doing CPR on the ball before k.o.?
I think this performance prompted his return to Southend the following season
Two teams that play in red and white stripes, I seem to hate all teams in this kit, the blades being the worst, also Lincoln and Stoke.
I heard it on the news this morning.
I think it was something to do with every minute counting in terms of administering CPR?
On this day.

I learnt CPR which was ironic because after I had two heart attacks.
Not often I cry but I did that day,tears of joy...Stood outside Wembley after the game and bubbled like a bairn!!
I see the pigs have failed to sell out their allocation for Wembley
