What a line-up...

Everyone I've spoken to was at that U2 gig... I never realised The Limit had a 10000+ capacity!

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

Is that Powell? Possibly Newcastle (changed strip), 1969

Edit Just seen the confirmation that it is Powell

I can’t claim to be one of 500 sorry 10000 Lol, seen loads of good gigs there and had some mad nights . Also a regular at Leadmill to from around 85 , used to like the ‘Steamer ‘ night down there ,decent venue Leadmill but never had same atmosphere , Limit also had a different clientele ! . I can’t believe they’ve never opened anything similar in town it would make a few quid

And the No. 3 looks like McCreadie with the sideburns, c'mon Silent.

Two penalties. One in the 1968-69 season and Nov 1970 at Blackburn (first time I saw a Blade take a penalty)

They went on to open the Lyceum briefly, saw Nils Lofgren play, great venue much better than the Shitty Hall.

Good Daze.

He caught a few Ladybower trout, and he taught Woody how to fly fish.

And a lady's skirtage and bustles allowed the imagination to run wild with thoughts of what could be, I wonder how many were disappointed ?

It was Buckley who scored our penalty in the 5--2 win against Bolton in March 1969. Powell's first penalty was in the 5-0 win against Villa in November 1969

Willie McFaul in the net for Newcastle

Newcastle had just won the Inter Cities Fairs Cup (The European Tournament for those clubs finishing in the top six) so it was a major scalp.

Woody had handed a transfer request in a few weeks previously (August 7th 1969) with Len Badger. But Woody scored direct from the corner in the 1st minute and then made the second goal for John Tudor in the 30th minute.

Fifteen minutes from time Hodgy clashed with Wyn Davies had and to be replaced in goal by Woody.

Just want to add that David Powell was a terrific defender, such a shame he was so injury prone as he had the potential to be a Utd great, he was quick, ferocious in the tackle & a great header of the ball.

The very last night of The Limit...

I was, were you, there?

Last song ever played was..............

#NoPrizesForFunOnly!
