Des Green says he will never forget how the opposition's 17-year-old captain scored a penalty in front of 3,000 spectators.
'Mark Jones stepped up, bounced the ball a couple of times, put it down and without any backlift — and they were heavy balls then — hammered it into the net.'
Green, 82, takes a wistful moment to summarise the events on that red letter day almost a lifetime ago: 'It was men against boys really. They were faster, stronger and more skilful than us.'
