I've been lucky to witness some amazing days at Home Park. And 60 years ago today was one of them, when Wilf Carter created a record that has yet to be beaten. Argyle had lost 6-4 at the Valley the previous day. Both teams left the Valley together and boarded the same train at Paddington, en route to meeting at Home Park the next day. Overnight both sides stayed at the Seymour Hotel in Totnes, owned by Argyle chairman Ron Blindell. Blindell had been informed by the travelling director that "Carter looked jaded at the Valley and needed to be rested". Over dinner, Blindell told joint manager George Taylor that Jackson should replace Carter. As it happens centre forward George Kirby and inside left Jim McAnearney both reported injuries just before dinner. So Jackson came in at 10 for McAnearney and young Cornishman made his debut at inside right while Carter moved to centre forward. After 33 minutes the "jaded Carter" had scored a hat-trick, the first from an astute pass by young Brown. Just before half time he added a header and notched his fifth with a trade-mark second half penalty. Alex Jackson got the sixth goal in a 6-4 victory, an exact reversal of the previous day's result. In 2011 I asked Alex Jackson what were his memories of such an historic day. "I remember it well. It was the first time I used the "soap-on-a-rope" my missus had give me for Christmas. They were very useful in the communal bath we had back then."
