    Wher was the first annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Game played, on which date was it played, which teams played, and what was the final score?

    Accrington Stanley resigned from Division 4 of the Football League on Monday 6th March 1962 (see Q# 21933). Their last match, played on Saturday 3rd March 1962, was their 33rd game for the 1961-62 season, and their W-D-L 5-8-20 (goals 19-60) record was expunged. I've hit a brick wall trying to locate their next game, the 34th game of the 46 game season. What was their next game (aka which club got the bye)?
