IN December s Memories, we mentioned that professional football in 1945-46 did not have a full league programme, so the early rounds of the FA Cup were made two-legged ties to add a bit of interest. We reported on a Second Round tie between Bishop Auckland and York City that took place in December 1945 which brought back memories for Bishop Auckland supporter John Davison from Durham. He was at both games, when Bishop lost 2-1 at home on December 8 lost the second match at York 3-0 a week later. The second leg was especially memorable. John said: We went down in dad s 12-year-old Jaguar which he called Mrs Ann Knox . We had just parked up in York, and were getting out of the car, when both front tyres blew off. My dad s face went white, while I was wondering what would have happened if they had blown 15 minutes earlier.
