Ok. I was too young to go to the match but if you read the match reports in the link below, TC headed in our 2nd after a cross by Munks on the right. It does look on the photo that the cross was from the right. I have no memory of seeing Bernard Shaw playing for us so I am asking the older Blades fans if it was quite common for Bernard Shaw to go for headers in the opposition box?

I’m almost certain that’s not TC and like others , my money is on it being Bernard Shaw .

Although being very short for a defender he had a good spring on him and the pose in that photo with one knee much higher than the other is absolutely typical of his technique for achieving that .

Also , as Sneinton Blade 1952 commented , I don’t remember TC’s header being a downward one but rather rising above a defender who was goal side of him and sending it high into the net .

I can’t be 100% on any of this , but those are my thoughts FWTW .

Ahhh, used to sit outside there int summer on my Lambretta LI 150 straight out of Qdadraphenia. Inside in bad weather with chips ‘n gravy.

This is a thread for’t older blades looking at some of the names. I was at the game (I think/probably) but can’t remember details. What were we talking about nurse?

God. My dad's face when the news broke we'd flogged Mick Jones to Leeds. He was in a dark, dark place.

"M-I, M-I-C, M-I-C-K, MICK JONES!"

Allus remember us watching that 1972 FA Cup Final when he went over and dislocated his shoulder. My dad kept muttering 'Reyt player.'

Yeh and Leeds plays ran off celebrating and left him in agony. MJ came to see me (and everyone else on the ward) in hospital after a car hit me and gave me a brain bleed (can’t spell heaomarage)

Yes it has to be him ! Not a regular header of the ball that was a rare one. What a debut that was ,remember even now he had the ball on the touchline on the terrace side a couple of spurs closed in on him ,they couldn't tye him down it was clear even then he was a special talent just 18 he was at the time.
We managed to get relegated as well losing a lot of home games on the bounce.
This after beating Liverpool at anfield on good Friday 2-1. We just collapsed after Fulham came from 2 down to beat us 3-2! Fulham were already down really by then we just couldn't buy a win at home.

Losing to an already relegated team also cost us some years later.
We lost to Blackburn at home when leading, prior to the fateful visit to Cambridge. The loss virtually sealed relegation. I remember Micky Guy missing a sitter in front of the Blades, stood on the small terrace behind the goal.
It’s funny, as you get older, some of the bollocks that springs to mind.😳

Elbow.

I wouldn't have mentioned it normally but I did exactly the same the year before, falling off an older kids back whilst playing Donkey Feyts. I fell head first, put my arm out to break my fall and my elbow joint went the opposite way to what it should have done. One of the older kids who saw it happen, puked up.

Think that's TC signing a new contract in the early/mid 70s. The V neck jumper is definitely from that fashion era.

Yeah, I was on the Kop, can’t be sure, but I don’t remember scoring…
 
Can't work it out,but the cross on the photo has come from our left,Lane end..so from memory Munks played right half and his cross was from the right..also unusual for Bernard Shaw to be up there on the right from left back..Wagstaffe didn't score with a header it was a shot..the caption says Currie but does look more like Shaw or maybe Wagstaffe and Munks crossing from the right makes me think the caption could be wrong.

I’m puzzled by this .

If it’s a joke it’s one that needs explaining to me . If not , I would have expected Silent or one of our other esteemed historians to gently point out that when this goal was scored , the said Mr.Guthrie was still in short trousers before going on to join us some 7 years later .
