Inspired by the "Oldest fan" thread (what an absolute hero by the way!!) I was wondering if anyone had older family relations (even JonnyBoy can't have been kicking about back then.......) who were actually at the 1902 Final? Obviously they will be long deceased by now, but any tales/memories they shared would be interesting.

I know this might seem like a slightly self-flaggelating thread, but I'm looking forward to be able to say "I was there.............", and would be interested if anyone knew anyone who was able to say that of 1902??

Our very own Johnnyboy.

I understand they let him out of the Work House for the day.

Only on the understanding that his elder friend Doddie went with him. Speedway was way too old to go at the time. :greengrin

1979 cup tie against hearts I met a 92 year old who was there. We won that day.
