    Apparently this photo dates to between 1958 and 1963

    Now that does bring back memories of the old Kop, stood on there a few times before they demolished it for the stand we have today.
    Worst memory was against Ranger in the Inter City Fairs Cup, remember David Harvey frightened to walk into his goal mouth due to missiles being thrown at him, mostly bottles, was at Junior school at the time.

    Interesting to see the Top was basically built on a pile of mud. Some engineering there <laugh>
