I'm sure you have happy memories of your Dad and how nice to have shared a common love of Alty with him.

The title of this thread takes on a whole different meaning now. All the best Harold, you are in our thoughts.

Sad news.  Sorry to hear that.

As someone whose Dad also introduced him to a lifetime love affair with the Club, I empathise with you. My old man's been gone 17 years now, but I still to this day start the match off standing on the same part of the popular side where we stood all those years ago.

My dad died in 2000 and I too stand in the popular side where he first took me in about 1960..(When I could just about see over the wooden barrier and I use to annoy everyone within a 20 yard radius with my Rattle    I was bought up on players like Tommy Banks, Paddy Fagan. Charlie Mitten, Big John Higgins etc and although I havent actually lived in Alty since 1969 when I took the Queens Shilling, I have watched numerous teams on a regular basis in towns and cities where I have lived all over the uk and some even in  Europe and none of them have given me the same passion as I get when watching Alty,  Hence the user name 

Good, Bad or indifferent. One thing is for sure about being an Alty fan, Once bitten, it certainly courses through your blood for ever.

So true. Lovely sentiments.

Thanks to everyone for those sentiments.My sister told me she has found one of my fathers football medels from the 1940s and she will pass that onto me.Like Ray(we went to school together) i started watching Alty in the 60s(have mentioned once or twice) my first game was against Wrexham in the FA Cup,I also have watched teams eleswhere and they dont match Alty one bit.Some of us must be pushing over 80 years of our Familys supporting the club and still gonig.Its a nice tribute.
