Help needed please

I am researching my family tree, and whilst doing so have discovered that my Great Grandfather died whilst watching a game at Feethams on the 22nd February 1958.
I was hoping somebody may have an old program that could tell me who Darlo were playing that day and the result.
Thanks

Darlo were at home to Bury on Feb 22nd, 1958. It was the biggest home attendance of the season, 10426. Darlo won 3-2, with goals from Milner, Carr, and Bell.

Jamoy, if you live in Darlington you can visit the library, they have the Northern Echo & Evening Despatch on microfilm. I suggest you go to the issues for the Despatch that day & following day, Echo next day or if it was a Saturday game the Monday.
Some one passing away at the match would surely be mention.
The Echo offices over the road have the actual copies. I have done research at both & found them very helpful.
