Hmmnn

Male, aged 69, born 24th May


Nope - not what I recall making me a cup of tea in Sheffield on the way back from Leeds yesterday.

Nice try, but, not buying it.

On a more serious note, my dad used to speak well of Colin Collindridge. He was one who missed years of his career because of the war, not the most serious casualty of war, of course, but a reminder of the many ways war affects lives. By the time I started going to the Lane, we had another outstanding Colin on the left-wing, Grainger.
What were Mr & Mrs Collindridge thinking of calling their son Colin?

Hopefully Colin will be the first.

Fred Furniss is now 94. The only other ex-Blade I know of that lived to be 96 is Willis Vaughton who died in 2007 but he played only 3 games for us. Mind you I struggle to find any ex-footballers who lived to be 100 despite that there are over 14,500 centurions in Britain that is still alive

Blatantly generalising, beer and bad knees probably lead to health issues in later life.
