Thanks Cult, I thought it was earlier but could be right, Swindells did get the 4th then! I used to get in at half time when the gates were opened. Do you know the half time score of that game?

Sorry but I can't help you out there.
No helpful notes in my copy of the match programme, I'm afraid.

Nor in mine, I fear. However, one possible portent (he said, clutching at straws) on the Monday after that Chorley game we went to Macc and won 3-2 (Brian Fidler scored twice in the first half & the late, great Jack Swindells got a hat-trick in the second).
Incidentally, just to be perverse, I suppose I got hooked after my second ever Alty game - FA Cup 1st Round, November 1968, Alty 0 Crewe Alex 1 - The Willie Mailey Show, for those with VERY long memories!

Yeah we know cult
My first FA cup game was Everton away in 75 I think and that ignited my interest, by 1977 I was a regular home and away!
Also, I remember getting into the ground at half time in the mid sixties and we were losing 4-0 I think,... to Chorley, and it ended 4-4 with Jackie Swindells getting all 4 of our goals.
My memory is pretty sketchy, could you find that game and the date of it? I would love to recall it better.

I wonder if you're mixing this up with 1970 - Alty 4 Goole 2 (Swindells all four, just after Jack had announced his retirement [which was short-lived as it happened, as he came back for most of the following season] - the date was Sat April 4th)?
