Howdy all
I'm hoping some of you will be able to help shed some light on something for me. Firstly, have a quick read of this:

ASFC News Story > 4438

Essentially this is my new project, and it's going to go a bit like this:
1) Try to find the eleven players from the game at Crewe (and speak to them, or find out what became of them if I can't find them or if they're no longer with us) or their relatives and speak to them
2) Try to find any other players that were involved in that season - as above.
3) Speak to supporters (that's you!) about your memories. I'd love to find someone who actually went to that game at Crewe, but it's also about personal recollections and how it felt.

All of this stuff will be brought together for March next year which will be the 50th anniversary.

Any information, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, is greatly appreciated.

Contact details are in the article on the fishy site.
Thanks for reading!
Dan
 
Just a young schoolkid at the time attending Peel Park. Used to nip over the wall at the town end to watch the players train and then used to get told off for leaving the school. No matter what, I missed the team when they resigned the place in the league and once I joined up (1969) I could not get to games (1970 onwards) until I left the army in 1986, when at least I could then watch the team rebuilding to the football league status they now have.
 
Mike Ferguson and Paddy Mulvey know gergy went to Rovers, thing Mulvey played for Rovers too at one time

When I was celebrating passing my motor bike test in November 2007 one of the driving instructors was moaning that he had been a Crewe Supporter at that game, they had won 4-0 and it hadn't counted for anything because all the points were expunged following Stanley's demise soon after. Basically he still wanted his money back!
 
Just a thought Dan, is it worth starting a Facebook page 'Trace the 62 squad' or something like that, once it gets circulating I'm sure your press mates will pick up on it :)

I had the same problem last year Dave. I spoke to Gregor about it and he said he had scanned and scanned it and couldn't come up with anything. I asked one or two others to try it and they said it was fine so i just assumed it was my computer that was goosed!


Cheers Mab

Lawson Bennett was a gardener and handyman for one of our customers for years. He'd always tell me about the old Stanley days and him goin for his medical at Chelsea.

Sadly on Monday, October 11, 2010, he died suddenly at his home, aged 72.

I had heard that he'd passed away...:(

I'm still keen to speak to any family etc. that he may have if you can help with that, or perhaps your customer can?

Thanks for the info
