1962 - help please!

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.

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!

I've been to a lot of those matches

lancsdave · 21-11-2011, 22:18

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
