Where did a non league side find 17,800 fans, that must have been a great game to watch if you were a TUFC fan, but it looks like only a handful was there.
Its interesting to learn that Ernie Pym who scored two goals was in his first season as a part time professional football player, I wonder how many of the team were part time in 1957

Peterborough United were arguably the biggest phenomenon ever in non-league football. They won the old Midland League five times on the trot before storming to the Division Four title at the first time of asking. Look at the goals they scored over those six seasons and their FA Cup record in the fifties and sixties: 1955-56 MID 46 33 11 2 137-46 77 1/24 1956-57 MID 46 36 6 4 148-35 78 1/24 1957-58 MID 46 35 5 6 160-46 75 1/24 1958-59 MID 36 32 4 0 137-26 68 1/19 1959-60 MID 32 23 6 3 108-37 52 1/17 1960-61 FL-4 46 28 10 8 134-65 66 1/24 FA CUP1952-53 1Q SYMINGTONS RECREATION A 5-2 2Q SPALDING UNITED A 2-2 2Qr SPALDING UNITED H 3-0 3Q CORBY TOWN A 0-0 3Qr CORBY TOWN H 5-3 4Q BEDFORD TOWN H 2-1 1 TORQUAY UNITED H 2-1 2 BRISTOL ROVERS H 0-1 1953-54 4Q GRAYS ATHLETIC H 4-1 1 HITCHIN TOWN A 3-1 2 ALDERSHOT H 2-1 3 CARDIFF CITY A 1-3 1954-55 4Q BOSTON UNITED H 1-2 1955-56 4Q ILKESTON TOWN A 3-1 1 IPSWICH TOWN H 3-1 2 SWINDON TOWN A 1-1 2r SWINDON TOWN H 1-2 1956-57 4Q CORBY TOWN A 5-1 1 YEOVIL TOWN A 3-1 2 BRADFORD PARK AVENUE H 3-0 3 LINCOLN CITY H 2-2 3r LINCOLN CITY A 5-4 4 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN A 1-3 1957-58 4Q WOLVERTON TOWN & B R H 7-0 1 TORQUAY UNITED H 3-3 1r TORQUAY UNITED A 0-1 1958-59 4Q WALTHAMSTOW AVENUE H 3-0 1 KETTERING TOWN H 2-2 1r KETTERING TOWN A 3-2 2 HEADINGTON UNITED H 4-2 3 FULHAM A 0-0 3r FULHAM H 0-1 1959-60 4Q BURY TOWN H 8-1 1 SHREWSBURY TOWN H 4-3 2 WALSALL A 3-2 3 IPSWICH TOWN A 3-2 4 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY A 0-2 1960-61 1 DOVER A 4-1 2 TORQUAY UNITED A 3-1 3 PORTSMOUTH A 2-1 4 ASTON VILLA H 1-1 4r ASTON VILLA A 1-2 1961-62 1 COLCHESTER UNITED H 3-3 1r COLCHESTER UNITED A 2-2 1r2 COLCHESTER UNITED N 3-0 @ Norwich City 2 TORQUAY UNITED A 4-1 3 NEWCASTLE UNITED A 1-0 4 SHEFFIELD UNITED H 1-3 1962-63 1 NOTTS COUNTY A 3-0 2 ENFIELD H 1-0 3 DERBY COUNTY A 0-2 1963-64 1 WATFORD H 1-1 1r WATFORD A 1-2 1964-65 1 SALISBURY H 5-1 2 QUEENS PARK RANGERS A 3-3 2r QUEENS PARK RANGERS H 2-1 3 CHESTERFIELD A 3-0 4 ARSENAL H 2-1 5 SWANSEA TOWN H 0-0 5r SWANSEA TOWN A 2-0 QF CHELSEA A 1-5 www.fchd.info/PETERBOU.HTM |
