I need to pick your brains
Wilf Mannion played in a home game against Blackpool in the 1930s. It was special match, because he was trying to impress his future wife (Bernadette?). He supposedly played out of his skin, running yards and yards with the ball without it touching the ground etc. It was mentioned in the TV documentary about him and may be in his biography. Could anyone give me ideally the date? or if not date, the season?
Many thanks

Edit - Just found some online info - it may have been 1948
