My first match' was Altrincham (A) in 1970's. FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round. Unfortunatley we lost 3-0, but I was hooked and 4 decades later still massively involved.

Checking my records on Winsford A in 1983.

My guess ( on checking the programmes from that time) would be as follows:

We played Winsford A on 6th Jan 2004 and drew 1-1. David Hargreaves was the scorer. The previous away meeting was 30 Oct 2002; when a 2-2 draw was played; scorers Blackburn and Byrom.

To try and fill in the missing players:

The goal keeper was KEVIN Bradshaw,
Mick Higgins played fullback that season.

The 11 could have been Martin Farnworth and i'm sure Dave Mooney would have been involved in the squad.

In those days visit to Winsford was a major treat. Team coach, good ground with a bar and a "big" crowd 500+.

Please remember when viewing Stanley today, remember what we had and where we have come from.

EW and Coley have made fantastic progress.
