Old Heap Cartoon

[Blade-on-Tyne]

I wonder what Harry Heap would have made of Bouncing Day ?

If only Deadbat was a cartoonist!

Super cartoon!

What year was this please? 1955-ish?

It would have been amusing, and would have contained no rude words.

It won't be me doing the drawing and will have to wait until the end of the season, but there are plans afoot.

...as a way of a very rough draft teaser - you'll never guess which of DEM BLADES has gone without sleep for 100 hours to devise the latest set-piece routine!

I'm looking forward to the Premiership already for next season. Now there's something else to look forward to as a bonus. (Only kidding about the first bit - can't get rid of the pessimism)

Love old cartoons like that, we had one that did them in the local paper here for years as well, very similar style...

For the benefit of JonnyRed(WCFC) I attach the best pic I can manage of Heap's cartoon for Worcester v Blades, 1959. I blame my brother for the bad cutting out.

The perils of the newspaper deadline in days gone by, as Heap's cartoon went to press before Pace's last-minute winner against S6 in 1961.

Fantastic! If that cutting is from a newspaper from 1959 then its ageing well!

One of the Allchurch brothers...Worcester had Ivor Allchurch play for them towards the end of his career!

Better than me, probably. I keep moving the scrapbooks, rattle, and programme collection around the house so that Mrs HBT doesn't throw my past in the bin. Incidentally, I spared you the full report of the game, as I didn't want to hurt your feelings. It was one of my early away matches, but I don't remember much about it, except that my brother wouldn't give me a turn with the rattle, claiming I wasn't big enough to wield it.

Oh no need to be that kind , feel free to post about the game as much as you can, getting a glimpse into our past whether it was any triumph or failure , im fascinated by it since I wasnt born till 20 years afterwards! Anyway, I herald it as our 'glory days', we had some money to splash out on proper players such as Roy Paul, our crowds were at their highest during the post war upto the mid 70s, that game vs the Blades being the peak and record attendance, over 4000 Blades fans crammed in mustve been an experience, even more so for you being knee high as a grasshopper!

There was a kid in our class at school who looked just like that. Can't remember his real name. Everybody called him Gloops.

Particularly like his coverage of the 1951 derby v the Pigs.

Guess what, this is the original massacre (as per his words).

Absolutely brilliant stuff. There will have plenty of Wendies there - I bet they were bouncing when they scored after 2 minutes!

When Wednesday were struggling to get a win many years ago they got a fitness guy in (Tomms i think he was called) and he took them up onto the moors for fitness training and the Stars cartoonist Whitworth came up with this classic cartoon.....

That season we put 10 goals past the MASSIVE beating them 1-3 at Swillsbrough.

So 6-1 to us in January ?
