I can’t give thst one a like Silent.:(
 
I’ve just been having a peek at the 66/7 season stats, god knows why I remember Bell so well. Maybe it’s because he was built like a bloomin’ gargantuan and his blond locks made him stand out. Unfortunately I recall that despite having the physical attributes, he was a bit of a donkey.

He played 5 games in total for us on the bounce as emergency CF late October to early November 1966. 3 League games, a league cup game against Walsall and a friendly against an all stars 11 that ended 5-5 which I’m guessing was Joe Shaw’s testimonial?? He scored one league goal at Sunderland, and the reason that he played was that both Mick Jones and Alan Birchenall were out injured, Sherman was injured in the 2-2 draw at the Sty in September.

I seem to recall that we signed him as a centre half cover as Joe Shaw (I we’re only a lad) who’d just retired, but in any event after scoring his only league goal for us against Sunderland he never played again and ended up at Chesterfield the following season.

I watched quite a few Chesterfield matches in 1970 and I remember Bell wearing the number 5 shirt.

I think at that time Gray we had Charlie Bell, Dennis Finnegan, Reg Matthewson and Ken Mallendar all being used at some stage or another as a replacement for Joe Shaw.

None of them could read the game as good as Joe.

Never really sorted that out until we signed Eddie from West Brom.

Same here Silent. I went to see Chesterfield quite a few times during their promotion season from Division Four (1969/70). They obviously had Ernie Moss and Kevin Randall up front. Tommy Fenoughty, who never really did much with us was an effective midfielder. They also had a guy called John Archer who I thought was very good. Played a similar style to John Fleck.

He [Peters] had the bollocks to look me in the eye and agree with you.

Had about 20 minute chat with him, top top bloke.

Unfortunately he's not a well man these days.

Moor from Lansdowne 1970

pretty sad to see how unenlightened planners, sycophantic councillors and overbearing central government can amputate a street of some consequence like the Moor used to be. Sheffield is more or less a case study in how to break the structure of a city by triple bypass ring roads and embolism of the capillaries.

You block up the arteries and in the end the heart stops beating.

Bollards to the lot of them.

I live in Stratford, East London. For years they have had a bizarre one way ring road around the centre. As a main hub out of central London towards Ilford, Romford, Leyton/ Leytonstone and all points East, it has been a bottle neck for years, not to mention isolating the centre. In the last few weeks it's become two way again, traffic flows better and access to the centre is much better. I asked a planner, why now? We'll, it's mainly to do with when West Ham are at home combined with Westfield shopping traffic. 6 years ago that lot opened!!
 
I used to love Carpenter's Road, full of car repair workshops and it had that smell & the red/brown rust drifted in a ramp up against the kerb like (was it) Brightside Lane beneath that bridge with the moiré pattern sides next to the Vickers Works.

black as soot the buildings along Brightside Lane were really quite palatial.

About the same time they brought that big whale on the back of a low loader for everyone to look at ,right where those lights are.

Which game was that Silent ? I went to a 1 - 1, Colquhoun maybe. Terrific warm sausages rolls served in the ground.

August 21st 1971.

GOAL - v Everton (a) 21.8.71. With nine minutes left Woodward smashed United into the lead with a ferocious shot from eight yards that found the net via the bar and post. The opening was created by Hockey's persistence followed by an intelligent pass and Everton thinking quite wrongly that Woodward was offside.

I missed the game (missed only 3 that season) cos I was on a family holiday in Ayr
