can't find a B.Rovers game - only home ties agin top div oppo around then was Portsmouth '59 and Preston '61 (in both we forced replays. We did play Liverpool 3rd rnd '56 - but that was at Anfield and we lost 0 - 2.

My first ? - 1st rnd tie lost 1 - 3 at peel park to Chester in 1951 - a matter of weeks before being exiled down south (perhaps they blamed this curly haired little lad !).
