Anyone know someone who attended the 1958 game
 

What a proud day for all of us. for everyone in the town, and everyone associated with the club.

I have so much to say, but will have to restrain myself otherwise i will end up babbling on forever. If anyone can let me know if they are aware of anyone who went to the 1958 4th round (i hope i am right, that is the last time we made this stage of the FA Cup)

Congratulations to you all. I cant tell you how happy I am.

See you on Saturday.

Ilyas

words cant say how good i feel right now

I was alive in '58, but a bit too young to attend that particular match.

rob you are not the only one. and for once, words dont matter. all true fans will appreciate exactly how you feel.

i just spoke to Proccy. I reminded him of the time when he first pulled on a stanley shirt - the season that I sponsored him as my player for the season, and how far we have come. He is a good lad, and along with coley and jimmy, epitomise all that is good with our club.

he and the boys will give a fantastic account of themselves.

My dad was there, and he still has the match programme. - v Portsmouth. He also went to Portsmouth's 5th Round match which saw them get beat by Burnley.

Re: Anyone know someone who attended the 1958 game

Re: Anyone know someone who attended the 1958 game
 

Superb result tonight
wasn`t born in `58 but got the programme
correct answer is Portsmouth
drew 0-0 at home and lost replay 4-1

Re: Anyone know someone who attended the 1958 game
 

Just looked it up. 0-0 at Peel Park. 4-1 loss in the replay.

Re: Anyone know someone who attended the 1958 game
 

i am getting mixed replies here. i think it may have been the 58/59 season, but tecnically 1959. apparently in 1958 we lost in the third round. anyone who can clarify with a drink in the club lounge !

Re: Anyone know someone who attended the 1958 game
 

the match was held 24.1.1959 and the replay on 28.1.1959
