I think Stan Ogden turned out for us a couple of time in the early sixties!

Great picture, and it reminded me of a tale I posted about Bernard Youens (Stan Ogden) on a different thread (Maine Road Memories)... I'll paste it here.
"...another Maine Road memory... That of my mum giving Stan Ogden a right royal bollocking outside one of the food bars in the North Stand.
The tale goes thus... Those of you who read my earlier post will know my mum, back in parts of the 1970's, was the manageress who ran all the catering on the ground. Now those of you brave enough to have bought a pie might recall you were never given the tin foil it was made in. This was nothing to do with littering, but because we returned them to the bakery for, I assume, re-use.
It transpired that Bernard Youens, the actor who played Stan, had been going around the bars asking for all the used foils for some charity thing he was involved in; the bar staff not knowing why we kept the foils gave them to him. When word got to my mum she tracked Bernard down, politely explained the situation, and asked him to cease and desist (this I didn't witness).
At the next match, despite my mum's request, he was at it again, so my mum, with a very young me in tow, went off on the warpath.
To this day, clear in my mind, I can still see 4' 11" mother reading the riot act to a very burly, but very abashed Stan Ogden (minus false mustache). He didn't do it again.
I do remember being somewhat disappointed when Bernard spoke in very refined posh tones, and not the back-street, slow Manc accent we loved him for.
Coincidentally, and nothing to do with Maine Road, until recently my dad lived next door to Jean Alexander (Hilda Ogden) in Southport. I don't think he ever gave her a bollocking though."

The cast of Coronation St.
Stan Ogden, Lucile Hewitt, Jerry Booth and Len Fairclough giving Annie Walker the 'thumbs up'. I remember that game, they were in the Scoreboard End and everyone was packed in around them. It's on the first bit of this vid.
