1957, our FA Cup win at Newcastle, I was 16 years old and one of the 8,000 Scunny fans that went to St James Park on 10 special trains, Alan Busby was my MOM that day.
Our 4-0 win at Forest, and winning at Derby sat next to my son who was and still is a Derby fan (and also a Scunny fan), I think it was 4-1. Also our FA Cup win at Sheff Wed was great.
Probably my best remembered home win was our 6-1 home FA Cup win over Blackpool when Stan Mathews sat down and changed his boots on the pitch because he could not get past Jackie Brownsword, losing at half time, a joe Bonson and Barrie Thomas hatrick by each of them.
In League 2 when we beat Fulham 6-1, Jimmy Hill playing for Fulham before turning into a commentator and Southampton 5-1 the same year, Barrie Thomas was brilliant.
All of these games have been over shaddowed by Swann coming to our club with his big idea’s and lies, which have ruined our once loved little town club, we have memories, but we now no longer have anything. Peter Swann will never be forgotten by Scunthorpe fans, he ended up being a deserter, loved by one supporter (Uptheiron69).
