I was there - never felt so cheated in my life (I was 14 at the time)!!!
We were winning 12-10 and he went over in the corner to win 13-12.
I don't know how to embed video and I don't own the copyright anyway, so I'll let you download it (for free).
Go to http://www.britishpathe.com/ and type Liverpool Stanley rugby in the search box....
Assuming you have Windows, put cursor in the picture, right-click and then on menu you'll see "save picture as". Click that and away you go.
Reading the threads about what school etc brings back to me one of the greatest injustices that I still carry the resentment with me through life.
How come we boys got caned and slippered and the...
Brilliant!! :handclap:
Many thanks!!
While on the subject the 1891 census finds my great-grandfather as public house manager in 118 Stanley Road, Kirkdale - which from 1894 Kelly's Directory appears to be The Grapes (on the corner of...
That's the place :)
This has all brought back a memory.
I was at the Uni in 1969-1973 and I remember that where is now the multistory was a waste-ground car park, presumably where the previous buildings had been...

Did find this programme though.
That's actually very good :PDT_Aliboronz_24:
Many thanks for that.
I have attached a couple of photos of courts if anyone doesn't know what they were like. The first one is number2 court Mount View, and the other is 1 Court Back Chester...
After11-plus went to St Edwards.
Thanks for that.
Yes, he was still there in the 1901 census but (doh!) I hadn't thought to look at the preceding pages.
They don't help immensely, except that 2 Court and 4 Court seem to be...
My grandfather was born in "5 in 4 Court" off Rathbone Street in 1899.
I have a map of Rathbone Street around the time but can't identify where exactly 4 Court was.
Anybody able to help?
I'm with Ste on this one in asking why you wish to know.
Your question has two presuppositions in it - that there is a high velocity of the drug gangs now (presumably in comparison with somewhere...
Hi guys.
Ste> Liverpool City moved from "Knotty Ash Stadium" (honestly - it was called that!!) to Alt Park when they changed their name from Liverpool City to Huyton, having spent one year in the...
Anyone here who used to go and watch Liverpool City at Knotty Ash (come on, there were 250 of us). I was 12 at the time, and I remember an aunt knitting me a green and white scarf - because you...
Hi!
I have been puzzling over a very similar question - my family moved from a little village in rural Norfolk to Liverpool around the 1870s.
The rural economy at the time was collapsing, so I...
