Ant Taylor (left) and Jerry Scott of Radio Scarborough (right) with their guest at the time the Yorkshire Hunter Paul Ingle CELEBRATE this fact. It's been a while since a Scarborough football side has reached a cup final. The last one was in 1977 against Dagenham and we won 2-1. Ok Farsley Celtic's Throstle Nest is not a day out at Wembley but a final is a final and there's a cup to be won. So I was thinking how can we commemorate the two events, so I got on to social media to get suggestions. I do think that singing on the 29th minute was a good suggestion from a few of the fans, so I'll be at Farsley tonight bellowing out songs for Scarborough Athletic and for Paul Ingle who was our champion who went to battle 16 years ago today at the world famous Madison Square Garden against Junior Jones for the World Featherweight Title - how many Scarborians can say that!
I do think we should celebrate his talent and with the two George's Horner and Rhodes not to mention my cousin Shaun Ireland and the guys before them Chris Hooper and Danny Price. It just shows the testament of Ingle and Scarborough's boxing history. Even my two brothers Mally Ireland and Craig Taylor, who sparred with Ingle back in the day, Paul still says Craig had a wicked punch and could of gone a long way. I really can't wait to get to the match tonight (29 April) and cheer on The Seadogs and do my bit for Scarborough. To all that are travelling to the match we will stick a flag in the ground and claim this plot of West Yorkshire for Scarborough with an almighty cheer of NO BATTLE NO VICTORY!
