Funnily enough, I drove past St Columba’s Church after the game last night and was thinking about what it must have been like when Joe played at the youth club there in the early days. He was probably about the same age as in that photo.

Was going to put the same ,they weren't a bad side ,we didn't have to many problems with them. I played for The Double Six then the Chantrey who were you ?

I had half as season with Timbertop, early 80's, good team then. Them and Woodseats WMC were top two rivals in Regional at time.
I worked with Kev Pressley (no relation), their excellent centre forward, and he got me to go there to ease an injury crisis.
Played Woodseats in semi of regional cup at at Brown Hayley's, they did us 1-0, scored by ex Star Wednesday reporter, Paul Thompson who was a fair player.
At the time Timbertop had some really good lads, Pressley, Ricky Thompson, Kenny Ball (not that one), Colin James, Neil Smith (brother of Mark, who was sponge man on Sundays and a top lad despite his Wednesday affiliation at time!), Kevin Harrison....
Happy days...

Is that the same Mitchell brothers who used to turn out for Bradway Hotel? From Lowedges. Terry Lemons played for the Abbey in the 1970's. Good goalscorer.

Did it become a Marriott? In old money it was always Trust House Forte Hallam Towers Hotel.

Fucking hell Sean, taken me on a tour of my childhood there. The Norfolk Picture house I'd forgotten about but can just about recall it. The rest is fresh in my memory. Walked past the New Inn a couple of weeks ago. It's derelict with fucking great cracks up the walls and I swear its going to collapse soon, a disaster waiting to happen given the location its in.

That and the Grosvenor. Two of the biggest knocking-shops in Sheffield.

Anyway, an interesting melange of Blades pics here:
