Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Never be mastered]

Bonzo the Superdog, bottom left. Don't know the others. Which area was it?

Don't know where the pic was taken the 3 members of my family who are on it are sadly no longer with us so can't ask them ⚔

As a kid, this area was my walking route to The Lane and back. It was terraced houses, chip shops and little grocery shops interspersed with factories more or less all the way.

That could easily be me on the top picture ,I had a paper round from Banhams round that area in 76 and was always round there ,I lived on Bannerdale.

1969/70 season. Wendy had just signed Tommy Craig from Aberdeen for £100K, a record fee for a teenager. They got relegated at the end of the season and nearly half of the players in the photo were gone by then.

Arthur Rowley was still our manager at the time the photo was taken. That summer he got rid of the Wagstaff brothers, Munks, B Shaw and only signed Flynn. On the eve of the season he was sacked. We finished in 6th place at the end of the season.

How memories play tricks on you. I would have put money on the pigs having blue cuffs on that kit.

Agreed. Mark Patterson seems to be one of those forgotten Blades but I always enjoyed his performances. I always used to say to my lad as his latest shot disappeared into row Z of the Kop,'He's getting closer.' It became a bit of a standing joke with us. Nevertheless he was a wholehearted player and fondly remembered.

Told this one before but a few years ago, we were in the market for a new patio. Mrs Trig arranged for some quotes, including one from Mark Patterson Landscapes. I did wonder if it might be him, but thought it was unlikely.

Anyway, it was and his price was substantially lower than any of the other quotes and we decided he probably wouldn’t be any good. I slightly regret that now, I’ve seen pictures of his work and it looks good, plus I missed the chance to bore him to death about Sheffield United for several days.

Spoke once to Mick Prendergast, told him " I wish you were at Bramall Lane", he answered " me too". Apparently a real nice guy beset by illness and injury. Had to retire early and overdid the alcohol which caused his premature death.

I thought Woody's debut was against Liverpool. We need Silent on this.

Okay, I bow to The Master. . Thinking about it that's correct.

This was taken by me in late autumn 1969. Great view of my home at the time.

First legal pint was in this establishment. I laughed when the barmaid asked my age and was proud to reply eighteen. On the down side having a drink wasn't a risky enterprise any more and took the edge off it for a while.
