      I’d say more like the first forty years.

        Can't remember the team, but this was the squad:
        First CCFC Game_Squad.JPG

        Don''t remember much of the game (had just turned ten)....but didn't become a regular until start of 1959-60, starting with the opening game City 3 -Liverpool 2....with city scoring all goals courtesy of two Danny Malloy og's!), From that game onwards I didn't miss a single home game until the end of 1978 season,. when I moved to Newark. Occasional visit s back but mostly going to glamorous places like Chesterfield, Halifax, Mansfield etc....

        Don't forget....lots of info and memories onhttps://libertybs.co.uk/CCFC_memories/

          I can’t catch you TOBW, you’re 5 years ahead of me. 1960s football, mud, leather and black & white.

                My first game was on the 28th August 1950 against Manchester City in a second division match. The score was 1-1 with Elfed Evans getting our goal. The Man City side that day was:-

                Trautmann, Phillips,Westwood, Spurdle, Rigby, Roy Paul, Oakes, Hart, Westcott, Smith, and Roy Clarke

                I am not sure of City’s side, but would have been something like:-

                Joslin, Rutter/Stitfall, Sherwood, Hollyman, Oakley, Billy Baker, Blair, Glyn Williams, Evans, Roley Williams, Edwards

                      Thank you very much for that, much appreciated! I wasn’t too far out with the names, but a few positional changes wrong as well - Eric Morecambe comes to mind for some reason!!!
