The lowest point in my 50 years of watching Utd ,he left out Coutts and Sharp unbelievably and Baxter was his usual shit self despite being smacked up.

Would that be the game in which Willie Carlin had the shirt from Geoff Hurst's back, literally?

I'm not sure but I've a feeling that might have been a significant game for Joe Shaw. Silent Blade??

Might be an earlier time then. Cant remember seeing Joe Shaw, I also think WHam wore blue shorts. Those look white.

Not a clue

I assume this was a pre-season tour somewhere, best I can do is a guess at sometime in the mid-60s.

As posted recently, DCL is missing from that motley crew and he was the worst of all, despite only featuring for 45 minutes.

1966. Mick Hill, Alan Woodward, Mick Jones, Bernard Shaw and Len Badger. Could it be at Ball Inn?

Hes doing well at the moment ,better than I ever thought he would, he was rank that night. There was real anger from the away fans directed towards anyone associated with Utd but especially Adkins ,Baxters drug taking was the only saving grace for me. Remember getting back in the car , we were all saying fuck Utd thats me done, by the M62 we were making plans for Rochdale
Who would have thought 4 years later ,the winners wouldnt exist and the losers were challenging for the Champions league qualification.

South American tour from 1966 I think. Don't know the opponents though.

It’s got to be pre season, I don’t recognise the stand in the background as anywhere in this country.

Mick Hill hadnt broken into the 1st team yet. Barry Wagstaff and David Munks on the right.

My Bad, Silent Blade and SW12 to S12 to S18 , must learn to expand photos and not make a twat of myself.

I must admit if that stand was at The Ball Inn it was well before my time.

Seems to be a lot of players unmarked in our box. Another illusion shattered...

I think I'm right in saying Mick Jones and Willie Carlin never played in the same Blades match. Missed each other by a week.

No wonder we lost 4-0!

Be after Jonesy had left then.
Surprised Silent Blade hasn't crossed the i's and dotted the t's.

Shaw's 600th game was in February 1965. We won 2-1. Bobby Moore didnt play as he had a testicle removed.
