upgotheheads Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I've just been reading an obituary on Jimmy McIlroy, who died recently. He was at Stoke City with Stanley Matthews when Hearts played a testimonial game on Monday 19th October 1964 against them. I was at that game and have been trying to find a Stoke teamsheet for the game, without success, to see if Jimmy McIlroy played. I've been googling but can't find a Stoke transgender, although London Hearts gives the Hearts team. Any help gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boof Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Goals were scored by Wallace for us and Viollet and Ritchie for them - according to London Hearts. Matthews is also mentioned there so that gives 3 players. Not much for McIlroy, admittedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertDawg Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Stanley Matthews was 52 when that game was played. Touched the ball twice in the first half.......from which Violet and Ritchie scored. He was playing, as always, on the right wing and got a great reception from the fans in the old North Enclosure as he dribbled towards the school end before swinging in two inch perfect crosses. .

Thanks to all. In spite of predictive text getting me into bother! Some of the under 40's on here should remember that they'll be an old git struggling to keep up with the latest computer technology themselves one day, and sooner than they think. This game, and the season which followed, was one that I remember vividly. I was 15 years old at the time, The Beatles were in full swing, I'd been following Hearts on my own for about 4 years by this point after my old man stopped going after he lost interest after the glory years. That season ended with the worst experience of my football life, the loss to Kilmarnock 0-2 which cost us the league. Worse even than 86 and the relegations. Anyway, I got the answers I was looking for. I've read this through and can't fund any mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertDawg Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 That probably makes you the same age as me UGTH. Yes, that 1965 loss was MUCH worse than 1986. Funnily enough, I was watching the Man. Utd. v Spurs game today with the amazing number of foot injuries. I don't ever remember guys like Stanley Matthews or Willie Bauld ever having these problems.
