Yes, indeed, I know it well. Coincidentally, a couple of years after this photo, my brother got a job as caretaker for Sheaf Bank Works. He lived in that "penthouse" extension you can see at the far end on the top floor. Some interesting times and characters in and around there during that period.
. I've got few more photos of SBW around somewhere.That linesman must have ringworm.
Really wish I could have seen cricket at the Lane.
Blades 1 QPR 1 in April 1974. Gary France wearing our number 9 shirt. His only League start for us, his next league appearance was coming on as sub in the 3-1 home win against Ipswich in August 1974 and then never played again. Anyone know where did he go to after that? Think Terry Nicholl is sandwiched between QPR's Don Shanks and Gerry Francis.
These were the places of my childhood. I think one of them was called Skelly's Bridge or Skelly's Walk or something. (?)
Well, the gennel/ginnel/ snicket/ ... called Cutler's Walk which I showed, leads to Sheaf Bank Works which was the home of Skeltons. So maybe you locals called it Skelly's walk???
Ruel Fox tore us apart that game little cnt
He did. He was a very skillful player was Fox.
Garrincha biography is one of the best reads you could have . If you get the chance whilst in lockdown give it a try , brilliant. Nickname little bird but apparently had 20cm big bird . Lost his virginity to a goat which where he came from was the norm. Bet that gets your attention . On top of this was outstanding at footy.
That makes perfect sense!Well, the gennel/ginnel/ snicket/ ... called Cutler's Walk which I showed, leads to Sheaf Bank Works which was the home of Skeltons. So maybe you locals called it Skelly's walk???
Gary France joined us straight from school.
Played for Worksop Boys. Don't think he was off the Valley.
Think it is against Charlton in League Cup in 1972/73. Either the first match or 2nd replay.
Needham is 2nd left front row
Before the game I met John Tudor, his wife and his mother in law. We had a chat. John asked me and my dad to meet again after the match. At the end of the match my dad asked me "come on, let's meet John". I refused at first because he had scored the winner against us. My dad then told me not to be "mardy" and made me meet John as agreed. I had a face like thunder when I met John again, my dad told him about me being upset at him, John laughed and then said "I am sorry"
Not sure what became of him Silent.
