  9. Interesting to see a young Keith Newton marking Sir Stanley, a crowd of 49,500, a 17 year old John Byrom, how tough a player Matt Woods was, a young Kenneth Wolstenholme commentating and Fred Pickering looking to take the penalty but then Duggie eventually taking it. The line-up looks to be: Else, Bray, Newton, Clayton, Woods, McGrath, Douglas, Lawther, Pickering, Byrom, Ratcliffe. Barrie Ratcliffe was on the left wing and only played 30 odd games before moving on. Ian Lawther, from Northern Ireland, was signed from Sunderland and played 60 odd games with around 20 goals (1 in 3). This match took place in January 1962 and it is interesting to see the turnover of players from the disastrous 1960 Cup final when the team was: Leyland, Bray, Whelan, Clayton, Woods, McGrath, Bimpson, Dobing, Dougan, Douglas, McLeod. Out of the 5 forwards only Duggie survived. The team versus Stoke in January 1962 in that 4th Round FA Cup tie then developed into one of the best starting elevens to wear the famous blue and white, by the time they beat West Ham 8-2 at Upton Park on Boxing Day 1963. The team that day was: Else, Bray, Newton, Clayton, England, McGrath, Ferguson, McEvoy, Pickering, Douglas, Harrison. Mike England replaced Matt Woods, Fergie replaced Duggie on the right wing, Duggie becoming more of an attacking inside left schemer, Andy McEvoy replaced Lawther and Mike Harrison replaced Barrie Ratcliffe. Amazingly, Johnny ‘Budgie’ Byrne put West Ham 2-0 up early doors before goals from Pickering (3) McEvoy (3), Douglas, Ferguson meant an amazing turnaround. The return game at Ewood 48 hours later resulted in a 3-1 home defeat. What would we give to see the whole 90 minutes of that win at Upton Park on video?
