60 years ago tomorrow.1st leg of the final. 2 down within 15 minutes, as I remember both errors by goalkeeper Ted Burgin, a great effort nonetheless, after beating Southampton, Charlton, Doncaster, York and Blackburn Rovers. | | | |  |

Sounds like a good excuse to sell a retro shirt in the club shop next season. | |

I think they've been done before, plus next season will be after the anniversary of the final. | |

I was 14 year old sold programmes on Sandy Lane, wearing a big black and white top hat.
Sold my allocation in minutes, went back for more, sold out again in minutes. went back for more the guy in charge said just give this kid every programme. Sold everyone, forgot to even save one for myself. | | | |

I didn’t go to the final but a neighbour who did got me the programme. I swapped it with the rest of my programmes for a load of “ Charlie Buchan’s “ football monthly’s when I was laid up with a broken leg.
I could kick myself now. | | | |

Surprised the anniversary has not been highlighted on the Club website, nostalgia is not what it used to be. For those that might be interested, brief highlights of the Second leg are on YouTube | | | |

They've done a 60th anniversary 1962 shirt before?! How forward thinking  | |

"Retro shirt", as per your previous post. | |

Thanks for that, the physical side healed but the mental side of the game never healed. I was only an amateur, my livelihood didn’t depend on it. Think about what it is to be a pro and go through that experience. The same thing happened to Tony Buck. That’s why I cut players coming back from a serious injury a fair amount of slack.

The home programme used to realise four figures at auction quite frequently. Less so these days. | | | |

They had the badge on the shirt for the final. | | | |

Did not make a penny for myself, in those days it was voluntary, you did it for the club. | | | |

Yes, I thought so. | | | |

The you tube clips of the second leg appear to indicate no badge on the shirt.
Cant find anything from the first leg at home. | | | |

11,000 at the first leg of the final at Spotland. Two days later Dale played their final home game of the season v southport in front of 1900. Fickle football fans are nothing new! | | | |

In one of the books I have about the Dale there is a team photo . It says it was taken on the night of the first leg match and the team are wearing badges on the shirt. | | | |

Interesting, the team photo taken for the final and appearing in the final programme they are badge-less. | | | |

Maybe the book has it wrong. My fading memory tells me the team didn’t normally wear the badge on the shirt at that time. | | | |

They definitely wore the badge for the final, there is a team group picture on the internet. The programme picture was taken in the snow in Denehurst Park...winter that season | | | |

Image from home leg. You can see a badge on the Dale player to the keeper's left. [Post edited 27 Apr 2022 21:54]
