Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

It is indeed the Lansdowne. I took it from an odd angle because I was trying to get the sun at a favourable angle. The S&E anx MSC were fortunate, accidental inclusions. On the far right, it also looks like the old Hermitage is covered in scaffolding but t Ive no idea which incarnation it was at that time.

Thank God we've got off cricket, football season int it,

I've just unearthed this slightly different angle of Fred West's garden. 1995 . Next time we're allowed in I'll check out if that kop support ever got straightened.

Coventry 3 Blades 0 in November 1972?

 

[blade67]

I think what happened is that after World War 2, borders were redrawn, and a part of Poland was reclassified as Ukraine. Many of the Poles who ended up in the UK had nothing to go back to, as they lost their land, farms, houses, etc.

The history of western Ukraine is miserable. Pawns in a political game for -100s of years

Coventry 2 Blades 2, March 1975.
John Craven just scored and ended up in the back of the net.

These things go in cycles.

We will be again.

It could take a very long time though

I think Silent is right. Tom McAlister in goal & Colin Stein in the back of the net.... Jim Brown would have been in goal in 1975?

Deffo McAlister. He didnt play any games during 1974-75 season. Cov player at the back of the net is either Brian Alderson (who scored 2 in the Nov 1972 match) or Colin Stein.

Sure it's Alderson looking at the hair.

John Craven. Will be featuring in Silent's '50 years Ago' thread next week.

Not a happy Newsround for the Blades.

Agreed. The caption on the photo was clearly incorrect.

Yes, this time, the caption does match your answer.

Didnt recognise the Oldham player on the left so I had to google the 1977/78 Oldham squad photos. He is Carl Valentine, the other Oldham player is Graham Bell, I think. Jim Brown and Gary Hamson are our players with visible faces

The caption only mentions Carl Valentine taking the shot, but not the other players.
This one is also from the same competition, apparently. Don't know if you agree or not. Dennis Tueart on the ball.

Yes it is Tueart. Badger and Garbett are the Blades players

In the early 1970s my dad was able to park his car in Asline Road

I used to live at 12 Asline Road until 1978, so he probably parked outside our house, next to me dad's blue Ford Anglia!

Was it 1978 when the houses in Asline Road were knocked down?

A few more from April 1983. Bramall Lane itself.

Oh my. The old chapel at the corner of Rowland Rd. I lived on the next street, Alderson Place. I used to play football in the chapel yard.

Another view of the beloved winter shed, this time from around 1991.
Running along the left hand side was the gallery and Vic's "office". The pitch inside was about 6 ft lower. It would be great to see some internal shots if anyone has any.

It was..

Moved from there to Totley Brook, where we've been ever since...

At one of the Tony Currie soccer schools (must have been Easter 1991) we ended up in the "gym". I remember the penalty competition...I won and was presented with an Arsenal Panini football (covered in player pictures, and like a rock) by Vinnie Jones and Colin Hill. All I can remember of the gym was the green carpet on the floor and the viewing platform around the top. Top quality facilities...

Do you know when the Asline Road houses were knocked down? 1980s?
