My first time with the saints was from the hospital bed at St Helen's Providence Hospital having just undergone surgery on an ear drum and was just a toddler. I saw the 1961 CC final on the TV, a day or two later the players visited the kids ward, Karalius and Murphy came over with the cup, 2 things I always remembered Karalius and his massive big hands and the players stinking of beer.
That year was the birth of the Red Vee and the year I became a supporter of the Saints. About 10 years later the older KC married into the family and got to know Warlow and Mantle pretty well through KC
