I've just checked the records on 11 v 11 and you're right mate we did lose 3-0 to Bradford PA but that was December 27th 1965 if that's the one you remember. The one which I referred to was played on 21st December 1963 and we lost 2-1, my first ever CFC game.
I noticed on there that we also beat them in the league cup 3-0 just prior to that 1965 loss on September 22nd 1965. I can't seem to remember that one though.
Speaking of Kevin Hector I remember going to the Baseball Ground in Derby for our league cup tie against them a few years later and he had signed for Derby from Bradford PA and I remember tarn fans chanting "Hector Hector Bunkum inspector" at him which as a 12 year old at the time amused me enormously lol. Think we lost that game 3-0 too!

When we got back to tha station, knowing there was an hourish before the train left a subtle bit of footwork (those were the days) allowed 4 of us to break ranks and find a boozer. On entry we was met with aggressive, threatening behaviour. It was a Celtic pub. We eventually got through to them that the blue scarfs weren't Rangers but town. On realising us, a team they didn't really know had made their arch rivals look silly. They insisted on buying our ale, we Daren't say no!!

Celtic fans appear more generous than Rangers fans I know!!!
