Trevor Hockey

[sitwell]

Can either of you remember the house Trevor lived in on Jowitt Road (I think it was 'Road' Sitters and not Avenue)? It was a short road and you entered it by turning right from Bannerdale Road if coming from Ecclesall Road end.
Thanks

Off the top of my head ,if I went I could show you From Eccy Rd ,you come down the hill and turn right onto Jowitt ,when you get to wyatt Ave on you left there are 2 houses on the left on Jowitt after , its the first one I think. Its weird I wrote a number on my hand earlier and I cant remember why but I can remember someones house from 45 years ago Im going to go and have a nosey when I get back from holiday now you bugger

I think the team that played at the start of the 1971/72 season was unchanged from the first match to the match after the Manchester United defeat in October. When I think back to the promotion season of 1989/90, I can still pretty much name the starting 11 of the majority of that season, I don't remember much chopping and changing.

Over the last few years, however, I've often turned up to matches and seen a couple of names I've never seen before and who I never see again. I'd struggle to name a first 11 for anything after about 2009.

I know folks say its a squad game, but I think shuffling things round for no reason has an adverse effect. I think the success of the relatively settled side this season following the endless maelstrom of bell ends in the last few years shows that.

Corrected it for you

Thanks for that Sitters. Along time after Trevor was at the Lane we lived on Jowitt up until leaving Sheffield in the 1990's. I never knew he lived on that road. You've described it perfectly. It wasn't our old house. I'd have been gutted if it had been and we'd sold it. It would've been a Trevor Hockey Museum now.

Hockey's legs appear to be made out of a titanium alloy! Beast.

So sad to lose Trevor Hockey. Particular favourite of mine as my name is only 1 x letter away from his.

Trebor Hockey?

 

[Snowman]

I'm easy to read .
Love the Blades and have since 1970.
To old to believe bullshit too young to not care.
Hope for the best,expect the worst.

I'd say that was a fairly sensible way to view things Blades related given the story from 1970 to current date.
Blade for life and inflicted same on my daughters for my sins.

Have a word with mine SBT. Wears the hoodie and the fleece, kicks the logo'd ball. Call's Wendy the Pigs. But the thought of attending a game? Er pass the IPad and the iPhone . Where did I go wrong? PS. Hockey. loved him. Mad as a box of frogs but what a player for us.

Ford was pretty useless.

Great central heating though.

I'm glad Sitters came up trumps because I can remember bugger all about it, other than a pink piano and a velvet bonnet.

Can't make em do what they won't do mate.
Me and my girls going to games stems from wanting to spend as much time together as possible. The oldest is a Blade but seldom goes. Being a 2nd year student in Barcelona dosen't help.(I'm on a 06.25 flight there from Manchester tomorrow to see her till Thursday,won't post on here while I'm away,promise).
The youngest can't get enough. Watches and plays to a good standatd and wants to make a career in the field of sport. Plays Football,netball,hockey and badminton for school as well as football for Sheffield FC at her age group,who I manage.
Never thought she'd be so devoted to sport and all from us kicking a ball about when she could barely walk!

This is Trevor in 1975, when he had returned to Bradford City.



That's the smile of a man glad to be back home at his first club in his home area.

Off topic rubbish moved from this thread to elsewhere, please stay on topic.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Did I read this right?

I thought the thread was locked?

Is it?

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Never saw Hockey, but he has always been an iconic name and visual image to me. Thank you for the OP Tyler Durden, and thank you for so many informative (and informed !) responses from @everyoneelse. Now, I feel that I have some flesh on the bones of a man who has only ever really been a photo and a series of stats to me. And the mother of all beards, too, of course.

With the rubbish removed, this thread is S24SU at its freakin best.

Indeed. We might not pay the highest wages around, but the fans can give this club's players summat priceless; immortality, if we remember them. If they're worth owt as human beings, that should inspire them a bit.

I never saw Hockey play. But my dad did. He never saw Needham, Foulke, or Tunstall play. But his grandad did. And those stories, passed down to me, will be passed on to my kids.

Indeed. And in the end it's the stories, in whatever form--oral history, pub jokes, old highlights, match day programmes, whatever--it's the stories that bond supporters together, and that fuse football into the histories and fabrics and identities of towns, cities, counties.

This is precisely why, outside of Milton Keynes, franchise soccerball will never catch on in Britain.

I was driving to the Swindon match with a lad whose a couple of years older than me and at one bit we were chatting about our great/grandads at the Cup finals in 1925 and 1936.

There you go

I remember Francis Lee of Man City getting sent off for throwing a punch at him. Hockey had been on his heels all the match and finally he flipped and off he went

He was sent off after a fight with Ted Hemsley

I though this thread was locked down. I remember Hockey and Bremner kicking each other six foot in the air, the crowd winced at the first coming together of the match the only surprise is that neither got a broken leg.

Hockey did of course suffer a badly broken leg against Man City (shock) . If I remember rightly we suffered 3 broken legs in 4 home games against them in the early 70s ,Hockey ,Mcallister and which oldie will get the other......

John McGeady in 1976 but that was at Maine Road

Aidan's dad?

Poor Mrs Hockey had an unlucky life. She lost her first husband at a young age, Trevor died aged 43 and her other son Mostyn was killed in a road accident. She wore a necklace her husband had given her, with a locket which had photos of her sons inside it, and some scrote conned his way into her house and stole it to buy smack.

It's rough in Keighley alright.

5 minutes Pete ,impressive Speedy McGeady was a good player very exciting on the ball ,McAllister was a top keeper and Hockey was a great midfield foil for our skilfull players. Man City were/are wankers.

Yes

That Fred Tunstall was something special,scored the goal of the century at the old Wembley to clinch the FA Cup,it was voted British Pathe's best goal of the season from a airship camera
