Malcolm Dalgleish: 1958, v. Moscow Torpedo - Lev Yashin, Len White and Jimmy Scoular

 

Got the Trolley Bus from Fenham to St James Park, 1958, I was 6 my brother Stuart 7, met my Dad and his 2 brothers to go and see Toon versus Moscow Torpedo, Lev Yashin in goal. Fantastic been a supporter ever since, even though ,we got beat 6- 0, Len White, Jimmy Scoular.

The best of it was though,I got under Uncle John's Raincoat,and nicked in for free, Wor Stuart under our Dad's and when we got in the Gallowgate everyone passed us over their heads to get us little uns to the front.

Happy Days.The straw off the pitch kept me warm.
