Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

Worrell Sterling.

Luther Blissett scored the other 4: I'm not sure anyone has scored 4 in the same game against us since then.

If you stare really hard at the sheaf valley baths picture you can see Len Fairclough in the background showing his cock to some small children. Dirty bastard.

The colour photo is not far off the view that I had of the Peterborough match. I was in the John Street Stand at the Kop end. Can still vividly remember the sight of loads of Blades scaling the fences on the Kop and John Street terrace before the end of the game in readiness for the pitch invasion. Great day.

It's been said before but official gate of 23,923? Behave yourselves; there are at least 23,000 visible in that colour photo alone...

I learnt to swim here in the 80's. I have a hazy recollection that the baths were opened by Rolf Harris...

We used to get the No. 17 or 24 bus from London Rd to Millhouses, for the princely sum of 2p.
Otherwise, we'd walk up Sharrow Ln to Endcliffe Park.

Our meeting point was the carpet steps at the bottom of Woodseats ,but Millhouses Park was always an option. Hardest game of spot ever is on the top field at Millhouses ,too high you are on the train tracks ,not hard enough you are in the river ,definitely sorted the boys from the boys

It was a veritable cavern of the audio obscure. If it was committed to vinyl, it could be obtained.
