    I'm digging deep into my memory bank here.

     

    Boxing day 1962.  Southport at home. Groundsman just ran a roller over the snow, lots of grip for the players studs, so Latics just cracked on. Lines on the snow painted blue, and they played with a brown ball.

     

    7-0 at half time, 11-0 at the end. Bert Lister scored 7. And it's still a club record. 

     

    If memory serves, it was about minus 10 that day, but of course players weren't fragile pieces of ornaments then. So just ran out with legs smothered in wintergreen ( ask ya dad ) and played football. The good old days. How many on here attended that match ?
