"OLD IRON!" There used to be a rag and bone man at the London Rd end of Hill St.
Sometimes it was a horse pulling the cart, sometimes a poor fella pulling the cart.

No but I used to go to me Grammars on it every Saturday as a kid

 

[vorpal blade]

Anyone know the ground?

is it somewhere in Scotland, I thought the buildings in the background look a bit like tenements in Glasgow?? St James' Park used to have concrete crush barriers but I don't think that looks like the terrace there and United wouldn't be wearing the usual kit there....or would they?

I'm in that picture.

No need to hide your light under a bushel,

Why not change your avatar and post as 'Deano'?

whilst trying to see what St. James' Park used to look like I unearthed this photo of some of the outstanding players of the post-war era...



Finney, Armfield, Trautmann, Clough, Hagan, Matthews ...... perhaps Alpine knows the occasion ? (is that the old Wolves manager McGarry there with them? & a Man Utd player I can't remember the name of (Carey??? (I'm only 53)), is it a League representative XI ?

Also, an early photo of Newcastle United v Old Etonians who, regardless of the impracticalities used to play in their old school uniforms at the time probably just to rub it in that they could afford new suits and hats after every match.....

I may be getting fussy in me old age, but some of these are right munters!

Unless of course, it was ladies darts night?

Her in the black and red is decent but I'm not too keen on the guy in the dickie bow. Would have love to go there if all the birds dressed like that, when was this btw ?

Kent was talking about the photo in the coach

I think I was talking about the picture after the promotion.
As this is such a brilliant thread I will revisit later and clear up the mystery Silent.

How does that Newcastle player get away with being so far inside the oppositions half when they're kicking off ?

Jimmy Hagan's testimonial. I read that it was a very cold night and I shudder to think how the players felt wearing the short sleeved shirts

You are right about Bill Mc Garry. Alf McMichael of Newcastle is the player between Trautmann and Clough

Good effort Vorpal. As Silent says, Dundee United it is.
