Two of my nieces went to school with Billy Sharp. One was in the same class.

We have good friends on Vancouver Island. We went to a party with them and it just happened to come up that I was a Blade (as it often does) and one of the women there said, I'm Joe Shaw's sister. She then sent me lots of Joe Shaw memorabilia. Lovely lady.I once got a call from the Structural Engineers department at the Town Hall to tell me that their 'lad' was on his way with a roll of drawings I had asked for . A few minutes later he walked in .
It was Joe Shaw . My feelings were torn between the elation of meeting the great man in the flesh for the first time and the sadness of seeing a footballing legend having to make a living as a general dogsbody at the beck and call of a bunch of nobodies .
Don't believe youMy dog sniffed the arse of the dog that belongs to Chris Wilder's friends auntie.

got a couple, both from the early 90's:
Bumped into Brian Gayle in Dore Lateshopper. He bought a 4 pack of Stella & his eyes were mesmerising.
Played a match at Steve Hinchcliffe's house (on his astroturf pitch) with, amongst others, S.H. & Paul Woolhouse (not long before he did a runner).... now that was an interesting hour or so......
went to school with Jeff Eckhardts sister. saw her in town on friday funnily enoughWent on the razz with a mate from Newfield School and Jeff Eckhardt, I had a rough stomach and had to go home.
If Jeff looks in on here at all I have some news about our mutual friend, PM for details.
Played against Chris Wilder and John Beresford.
Went to school with Ryan France.
Neighbour used to babysit for Mitch Ward.

Re: Dore & Totley, Does nearly signing David Holdsworth when I was helping to run the Sunday league team in the Dev count? We did also have ex Blade Dave Brocklehurst playing for us for a while. That, and having a Stella with Carl Asaba outside the Fleur De Lys (he lived just down the road)

Indeed. As I recall he was completely frozen out, though obviously we’d added Deane and Marcelo to our group that already had JAF, Taylor, Katchouro, and then Saunders later on. I personally thought he should have had more time at Wembley in ‘97 and should have replaced Katchouro (who had an appalling game).
He was the only senior player sent to a United friendly at Shepshed Dynamo in either 97 or 98. The only other recognisable name on the day was Chris Bettney, who I think partnered him up front.
LB, i was at shepshed that day, pretty sure Mitch ward played that day, think we won 2 nil if memory serves
We may possibly have played on consecutive years (think Russell Slade had some sort of link with Shepshed that led to the friendlies, and now I think of it there may have been one the previous season). Ward I don’t think was at the one I’m thinking of, though that’s not to say he wasn’t at another (if another happened). I just have a very vivid memory of turning up expecting a few of the first team, and Walker effectively being the only one.
Not sure maybe it was just one of those days had had a couple and it was early in the night, as you can imagine I was really disappointed with Jeff being one of our players at the time.Sorry - replied to the wrong message earlier.....so i'll say it again 'did you have a bad pint?'
you didnt happen to go to enderby town for a cup match involving the youth team around the same era?
