FA Cup 6th Round, 1 March 1958 against League Champions Wolves. Amongst the best games ever at Burnden Park. 56,306 saw goals from Dennis Stevens and Ray Parry that somehow managed to win the  day against a rampant Wolves side that ran us ragged.

Was Preston before or after Chester

Those two games do stand out but equally, port vale at burden

1 down and McGinlay came on to score his first for us to draw the game

I had to check...Chester was 2 weeks earlier and yes that was the start of the unbeaten run. We were 17th after a home defeat to hartlepool, then McGinley scored his 1st BW goal (or 2?) at Chester and then we won at home before the 2-2 at PNE. We didn't win an away game till November which is some going for a team that finished 2nd. I was a bit out with the length of the unbeaten run, but from the Chester game we only lost 4 of the last 35 games. What an impact by Rioch.

My PNE mate always reckons at two down we were baying for Bruce's head 

I corrected him that it was  'sack the board ' type stuff following a string of poor results & a failure to get the David Lee deal over the line.

Subsequently we had a tenner bet on which team would finish higher that season.....ha ha.

I think they sacked John McGrath shortly after the Bolton game even though they were top tenish & brought in that balloon John Beck who got them relegated.
