They would be in L1 if he had stayed with them.

Wards the shirt sponsors and yet the Bradway historically was always a Whitbread house.

Chelsea are a London club but are sponsored by Yokohama tyres

You can buy Yokohama Tyres in London though.....

 

[vorpal blade]

le Coq Sportif was always a German brand

 

[Ajmblade]

Wilder tried to sign my uncle whilst at bradway after he scored from the halfway line against them at bramall lane, my dad mentioned it to wilder at the fan forum thing last year and he said something like hes glad he's in a different market now haha

You can buy a picture of the queen in Mongolia.........

Wonder how many league managers have started at the bottom of ladder by managing a pub team and worked their way up?

You couldn't buy a pint of Wards in a Whitbread tenanted house though.

But they can sponsor the shirts of their football team though.

I can see you aren't going to let this go.......

There's this one bloke called Carlos who has managed to work his way from a few average Portuguese clubs down to a pub team in south Barnsley.

You started it lol

 

[Houston_Blade]

Mark Shaw and Marcus Brameld both went into non-league coaching/management. If the Mark Todd is the same bloke he had a very successful non-league career and scored a fair few goals and had some low value transfer fees paid for him.

I'm more concerned that they are sponsored by Wards and not Peroni

 

[I should coco]

Paul Cooper too, so well set for goalies.

Mark Todd too so they really should have walked that league. Obviously Wilder had the top players but couldn't manage them to better things.

After failing at Bradway I know he turned up in West Yorks but I lost touch then. A mate said something about him being a window cleaner.
Anyone got any idea what Wilder's doing these days?

 

[MobileBlade]

I remember one or two of those! I remember Jamie Kay being one hell of player - not sure why he never made it. Think it broke his leg when playing for Sheffield club. Not sure though.

Not sure why he never made it?think he broke his leg? not sure though? Are you sure you're not sure? Because I'm not so sure

Nope. Not sure. Are you?

 

[Boxer Blade]

Nope. Not sure. Are you?

I'll definitely come back to you, well I might do, not sure now

All I will say is who the bloody hell is Chris Wilder? probably slipped in to obscurity and working on the bins or something?

 

[Lane Ender]

Five consecutive promotions in Sunday League starting in the Sunday Imperial through the Meadowhall Leagues.
Great set of lads

 

[TTMeysh]

Is that 'the' Mark Todd, that played for us (alongside Wilder) in the 88/89 promo campaign? I remember him having more hair.

Yes he still works for the club

 

[Hilly]

The very same Mark Todd. He persuaded John Beresford to turn out for a while. Carey had a year at Toytown and turned down a second i think.
'Charlie' missing off that pic, another long termer. very good side, used to win the knock out senior cups from south of Leeds to Nottingham / Brum.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Hmm...there was a chap in my year at school called Dean Drabble. Bears a resemblance to the one in the photo.

As a kid most of our football was played in Lowedges park but sometimes we used to go and play on the Bradway 'rec' behind the Bradway pub.

We'd then try and get those yellow golf balls from under the fence on the driving range and try and sell them back to golfers.

Bradway pub in the early 1970's had some decent players. Think a couple of brothers, Lemons(?) and the Mitchells played for them.
