I was born near end of 1944 and the League had finished after only 3 games of the 39/40 season, Raich Carters last appearances for us. There was a Cup competition in January 45 and we were knocked out by Birmingham in 3rd round. Things got back to normal (football-wise) with division 1 kicking off 31..8.1945
I was born in June '83. Our last game before I was born was at home to West Brom, we drew 1-1 with a last minute equaliser. The team looks canny ****e Mark Prudhoe Shaun Elliott 46' Rob Hindmarch Ian Atkins Iain Munro Nick Pickering Gordon Chisholm Leighton James John Cooke Colin West Ally McCoist Manager: Alan Durban Our first game after my birth was against Norwich, 27th August, 1983. We also drew that game 1-1 with again a last minute equaliser. This team looks a little better (I think) Chris Turner Barry Venison Nick Pickering Gordon Chisholm Ian Atkins Iain Munro Marc Proctor Paul Bracewell Paul Atkinson Colin West Gary Rowell Manager: Alan Durban
April 2, 1966 the day after I was born we beat Stoke at home 2-0. The start of filling my life with hope and then pulling the rug out from under me, lol.
I know that since the day I was born, Stoke are the team we have had the most success against. 17 times we have beat them since that day, I believe.
I thought that we had beaten Everton more times than we have beaten anyone else, might be wrong, haven't checked the records.
