I don't remember the first game ,but I do remember watching an F A Cup tie Stanley and Bristol Rovers,we made a draw I think. It would be about 1952 or 1953. I do rember the all Scotish team, including John Ryden who went on to Tottenham Hotspur, a magnificent Centre Half,and a full back who was later killed in the Tenerife plane crash,his name eludes me , he was married to the daughter of the owner of Kirkhams coaches, I remember now it was Bob McNicol. I better shut up now or I will be here all day reminicing.
