16th August 1975 beat Chelsea 2-1 at Roker. My dad was there! I was 4 days old so reckon my mother would've been pissed "nowadays" but back then it probably wouldn't have been an issue

Yeh I was there
I was surprised that Porterfield was in the team five years before the final
I didn't realise he was with us for so long

Lost 1-0 to Rotherham 18th March 1960. Day before my launch into this world.

I recall being devestated when my dad told me on the 20th.

Good parenting that though Gil.

No point pussyfooting around the fact that your life as a mackem fan would be one long hard grind, with the odd glint of light through the darkness.

Bruce Stuckey if I remember correctly was one of those few players who score four goals on debut, them disappear without trace.

This would be our first ever season in any division other than the top. A unique and proud boast at the time. remember all of these players except the left half, it would soon be Jimmy McNab in that spot.
