50 years ago today:
Old Trafford
.


Twitter thread shows extended black and white highlights with comment s by Charlton and Peters and further down there is a short colour clip of the 4 goals.
You can’t see me in the crowd though I was behind the goal in the scoreboard end as it was called then

Didn't we then actually manage to lose at home to them in the corresponding fixture the following season?

Tragically, Yes ! 3rd game of the season for Wigan having let in 10 goals in the first two. Doc.Tott turns up.

Looking back on those last two posts (even though 1961 was before my time) I had to think it was 29 years from 1961 to 1990 and yet it was 32 years from 1990 to 2022. Hard to comprehend for me.
