FT: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 2 BLACKBURN ROVERS. Match thread

[Woosnam]

Hi Maurice Swan, I presume you are the former City keeper from that era, which was my favourite time watching the City. I saw my first game in 1950 and have been a supporter ever since. I think the Liverpool game you mentioned was the first match of the 1959/60 season There were some great players around that time - Malloy, Graham Moore, Tapscott, Vearncombe (sorry about that!), Walsh and Johnny Watkins. I think that was the year we were promoted to the old First Division. They were great times indeed!

Welcome Woosie. Your recollections are correct about that season.

Not sure that MS is THE former City keeper, though.

I remember the three City ‘keepers of the early 60s, Vearncombe, John & Swan. Some reckoned Swan was the best of the three but he seemed prone to injury and didn’t play anywhere near as much as the other two.
