I WOULD like to thank Mr James Wilson who, having seen the picture of my wife and me in the BEN and the good write-up about our visit to Old Trafford to watch Bolton versus Manchester United two days after our wedding, took the trouble to contact us and send a photo copy of the match day program (price 4d), and also a copy of the match report in the Express.
The gates were locked before the start, thousands clamouring to see United's first game under the Old Trafford floodlights.
Your write-up brought back happy memories to Jim, who was there to see Bolton win 0-2, the only team to do the double over United that season, 1956-57. Mr Wilson, now 75, who used to live on Moss Bank Way and now lives at Sharples, says he liked the photo in the paper. Thanks, Jim, once again.
