Parnell (Roy)?? I'm sure that's the lad who played for Tranmere after leaving Everton. He was one of my favourites. Stocky build but could match wingers for speed and had a thunderous right foot scoring a few goals.

Roy Parnell, regarded as a lucky mascot the year we won the league in 1963, he appeared on the photo’s in the dressing room the day we beat Fulham to win the league, think he was twelfth man in a lot of games that year, although the twelfth man never played those days as there were no subs, like Sandy Brown in the 1966 cup final

Do you know I went to the ground tour years ago when it was empty and all seater, a great day, tears in my eyes , but the damper on it was the seating - I thought back to all eras I had stood on the terraces it was magical the standing areas, the atmosphere the chanting started at least an hour before kick off - the Gladys street was full of banners pur magic the Grand old Lady rocked in those days in the 1960,s 1970s era...... The walls at the front were so high to stop fans getting on the pitch, kids to crates boxes just to see over the wall magical...... I sat on a barrier with my late father holding me - no one want to sit in then the Grandstands up top - it was very affordable too.......15p to get in........ or cheaper as each end had different prices 2&1/2 p in the boys pen.......

For the Spurs home game, when Alex scored 'that' headed goal in 62- 63, we were first in queue at our 'lucky' turnstile the Gwladys St at 12.00 when the gates open and legged it to front and centre behind the goal...the walls were a bit lower then and you didn't need the box unless you were really small.

Now I'd been in a couple of attendances higher than the 'Official' attendance of 67K (which was a bit of a moveable feast when it suited them) 69K Vs United and 72K Vs the rs. But I've never been so squashed in a game ever. God know what the real attendance was
