Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

Yes they certainly did. Express dairy. I used to spend ages mesmerised by the crates of milk shuttling across high up on the conveyor above the archway. Before X box and streaming thingies, you understand...

So there must have been at least 2 of us watching the crates go by, I think the cow appeared much later. There was a genneI that took you up to Abbeydale road and the Sasperella shop. I remember a vending machine outside the dairy where sixpence got you a carton of milk, very high tech for what must have been the late 50s or early 60s

Tenuous. The nephew of former Blades manager Teddy Davison worked at Millhouses depot for a while.

The sarsaparilla shop! You've reawakened a load of memories there!

Great memories. I can almost smell the steam! As a kid I used to spend a lot of time at Millhouses engine sheds or Totley Cutting. I now live at Retford so have the East Coast Main Line on my doorstep, though it's very quiet at the moment! I gave up collecting numbers a long time ago. Nowadays I do my 'spotting' with a camera.

Ditto, just the photography part that is.

David Ford v Norwich in April 1971. 0-0 draw and we had John Hope to thank for making several saves also they had a good goal ruled out by the ref. In the following season Norwich finished top of the 2nd division.

Hope made a few bollocks which he was slaughtered for but actually was a decent keeper

Yes. Session in Heeley baths. Afterwards we bought a penny arrowroot biscuit and then up to the Temperance Bar for a half of sarsaparilla.

These show a reservoir. I worked with Ted's nephew (He had a couple of games in our reserves) and he told me a tale involving it.
He said one of the blokes in the shed was "as daft as any ####". They looked into this pond wondering about it's depth and what may be at the bottom.
No more ado, daft #### stripped, and dived in. The others waited, and waited. Minutes passed, bubbles became fewer.
Suddenly daft #### surfaced gasping for air, his skin quite badly scratched.
He'd got himself tangled in some barbed wire which had been chucked in at some point.
Lucky daft ####!

Sarsparilla (Sas) was horrible. After a session at Heeley Baths we’d head up to Meersbrook and buy a penny loaf, and a Jubbly.

That’s very interesting, you can quite clearly see where the actual shed was.

His only poor game in 1971 was in the 5-0 defeat at West Ham. 1972 was different for him as he had nightmares v Arsenal and Derby, when he got dropped from the 1st team he got a bad knee injury in his first reserves match and was ruled out of action for the rest of the year and for all of the 1972-73 season
