Video of the 0-3 loss to Hull City in December 1968: Ken Wagstaffe; some player. I went to Hull a couple of months before this game (also lost 3 - 0!) and expressed admiration for his brilliance. One of the Hull fans said we'll swap him for your ginger little winger... |

One of the Hull fans said we'll swap him for your ginger little winger... Yeah, Ken Wagstaffe was a good player, “solidly built” you could say, but hell of a winger and scored lots of goals. Hull were good to watch around that time - Wagstaffe, Chilton and Houghton. I know Town tried to sign Chilton at one time. Colin Dobson was my favourite about that time - I was a goal-scoring left winger myself - though not ginger! Glad you enjoy these threads. It’s a shame I didn’t go to more games than I did. |

Strangely, in the promotion season 69-70 we also played them near Christmas. Whilst we were going to finish up top of the table, that particular match finished 2-2, and we were very lucky to get a very scrappy equaliser. I'm going with Smith, but I'm not looking any of this up, so my memory could be wrong... well I'm pretty sure it was 2-2 and a scrappy game.
Strange memory. Result right, Smith scored our first, but it was bloody March. I think it stuck in my head because Town were renowned for buggering things up around Easter in the 60s, and I really thought they were going to do it again, until a glorious night at aMiddlesbrough shortly after. ( and yes I was there)
