I played in the early 70s for Leopold Villa, which was based around people working in the education offices on Leopold Street; I knew one of the lads who played for them, and enjoyed several years of sloping bogs, howling gales and cold water showers. Loved keeping goal in the mud. Happy days.

Your team must have got promotion to the 2nd division (we were in division 3 when I started playing for them) before the 1979-80 season

How did the refs give signals?

If my memory is correct (and Mrs HBT occasionally points out my errors), the ref had either a linesman's flag or used his handkerchief to wave. But if everybody was focused on the ball, it took a long time for the decision to be noticed, and so things did not always run smoothly. On the plus side, we had a lad who I now realise had Tourrette's, and the matches against Sheffield Deaf were about the only ones he didn't get into a scrap with an opposing player he'd sworn at.

Yes sometimes it takes a bit while before the raised flag or handkerchief is noticed. Opponents stopping play helps us to realise that the ref had stopped play

He played for Sheffield Deaf before me. He was in the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA sine die list (yes I think it was for a sending off- will ask him). He wanted the club to pay the fine and the club refused. When I was SDFC secretary from 1980, two players from our club were in the sine die list, the other player was also a Blade but he had moved to Motherwell. Remember John Allen (RIP) ? Mick did want to play again but the club were being firm that he had to pay the fine so he carried on following the Blades

George "Max" Moseley (he is in the 1960 photo I posted earlier- the middle of the front row). I dont think he played for GB or England Deaf. From the photo four played for GB Deaf, they are Cyril Davies (2nd from right front row), Jimmy Lapper (Ashley's dad) who is top row 2nd from right, Roy Tilney and keeper Alan Thompson in the middle of back row. Not surprised Max was always at Josephine as quite a number of women fall for his good looks. Last saw Max last year wandering around the town centre looking "lost" which is sad as he had lost his partner a few years ago and now he hardly has any family
