I go back a long way with Tranmere. I have never seen them do anything but win.

I remember 1976/7 season at Prenton Park when they beat Sheffield Wednesday 1-0. Then 17, I was told to meet up with someone who looked like a well known cartoon character and I found the right person on the terrace straight off!

Just before 1979 election I witnessed Tranmere win 2-1 at Hillsborough where they tend to thrive - Russ Allen got one and John Thomas also scored. They won there on their last visit in 2005 and would have stuffed Sheffield Wednesday's play off chances if they hadn't won at Hull in their last away match.

Bit later I couldn't resist seeing Portsmouth go to Prenton Park for a Friday night league (!) game. The massive Portsmouth following had to be seen to be believed.
