Wasn't he from Hylton Castle area? Correct side of the river, but still to far for a 4 year old to travel in them days, the twat.
I was only 10 and watched it on TV whilst me dad and Uncle Bill went to the game. Seems wrong that at 51 that's still the only major trophy I've seen 'em win. Like you, I'm gagging for a bit of silverware before I croak (i.e. hopefully within the next 50-odd years or so )
