This was my very first final my mother and father took me we met my uncle jack auntie Maggie on pemberton railway station it was the hottest finlal ever at that time and was the first time I saw the band of her majesty's royal marines also was the try van vollenhoven ran length of pitch eric ashton almost caught him from the diagonal side and the best winger in the world BILLY BOSTON scored before that but was ruled foot in touch if replays had been around it would have 5-0 to me it will always be a try. we lost 12-6.
