What a sad contrast. From a wonderful cup final win on foreign soil to Ian Gore .
How the mighty had fallen.

I was in Talbot Sq that day with my mate to see the team attended the Town Hall reception. We got there late and didn't see the team arriving, but my absolute best memory from that day was John Craven hanging out of an upstairs window, trophy in his hand waving it to the crowd,. Jacket off - shirt unbuttoned - tie fastened round his head (Rambo style) obviously the big fella had sampled far toooooo much of the 'refreshment' provided by the Mayor

Even our press pictures were ropey back then... the only one you didn't get has a first name of Bobby...and he scored a great goal vs the W Wanderers at Burnden.

I know but I can't remember his surname

What must it have been like to be an Atomic Boy with your club as the FA Cup holders and home fans giving you genuinely friendly banter?

These pics are from a Port Vale programme in 1988:

Loved the old Kop when it had the roof.
The photo showing them putting floodlights on the top of the pylon looks precarious!

1952. The South Paddock and that corner of the ground looked exactly the same until it was demolished.

I used to sit in the west corner for reserve matches and everyone held there breath when the phone rang because it meant a goal had been scored in the first team match.
The guy came out to put the score up on the half time score board we all held our breath and a big cheer went up if we'd scored and a funeral silence if we were losing. Great days
