davemclaren Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Any of the more mature members remember this match in 1962? Found this ticket when clearing out my father's stuff after he died just over a year ago. I remember him saying he bought a ticket but couldn't make it to the match. 15p to get in as well.

buzzbomb Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 My brothers and I have a signed photo of the great man walking off the pitch in his suit. Think he only took kick off? 'to the three boys, all the best willie bauld'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I was also at that game. 'The King' did indeed 'kick-off.' But they brought the ball back and 'kicked off' again. Was only 14years old at the time, but will never forget that night. There'll never be another.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billco98 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I was there and still have the match programme. Willie Hamilton played for us that night - the opposition, Sheffield United, was one of his former clubs. I can remember 'The King' kicking off.

Roy Slater Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I believe that is true WC - reason for a fall out with the club I'll sup a shandy or two on Saturday night in The King's memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
