Momentous Events from the year you were born

[forlorn hope]

Seems like nobody who’s posted was born in 1960?

Not one mention of a certain FA Cup final & a leg break to anyone

All the best people were born in 1960 - they are just too classy to advertise the fact.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

United were relegated - me 1974.

 

[Centurions]

Obviously not including your own birth! but for me

1961 the building of the Berlin Wall and the Bay of Pigs invasion by the CIA

Snap.

 

[('_')MCFC]

United were relegated - me 1974.

Ooohh I like that one, I’ll take that too as I was born in 73 when the season started

Obviously not including your own birth! but for me

1961 the building of the Berlin Wall and the Bay of Pigs invasion by the CIA

same year and same for me... I remember vividly the day the wall came down - I was out working and sat in the car outside Leigh RLFC as it happened with tears welling in my eyes as I thought something that would never happen in my lifetime actually was !

 

[Mid Wales blue]

Being in Wales, the only thing note worthy of momentous happening from the year of my birth was,
one of the lambs from our field, found a hole in the fence and ended up in the next field.
That caused quite a stir, so I’ve been told!

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

United were relegated - me 1974.

Went to my first game that year. Law and Marsh scored. I remember it like it was yesterday. I don't think I was ever more excited until my own children were born.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Fire was discovered.

[cleavers]

A pretty bad winter of snow where I was born, but the next winter was one of the worst in recent history.
