She’s asleep. There’s a bloke behind her holding her up.

Bet she spin her head 180 degrees either way.

It's the one above Atkinson's.

In fairness, there used to be a Sainsbury's inside Atkinsons, so you are both right

Summer 1986, now the site of Millennium Galleries. I seem to remember going in that long low building a few years earlier than the photo to tax my first ever pride and joy - a clapped out, column change, bench seat Ford Corsair

Taken from the jennel that led to Abbey brook close at Chancet. I used to go out with a lass on there for a few months and used that jennel almost everyday to take her dog to Graves Park.

Taking her up the jennel? Dirty boy

The Oxford was my local flea pit. I can remember seeing Kenneth More in 'Reach For the Sky' and crying my eyes out when 'Old Yeller' died.

Me too mate, Flash Gordon on the Saturday matinees, always remember running out into bright daylight and being amazed it wasn't dark!

 

[Bert]

Colquhoun, Gilzean, Hope, Perryman, Mckenzie.

It doesn't look like Perryman, Bert thinks it's Roger Morgan.

If you didn't cry when 'Old Yeller' died, you weren't human.

My dad John White, the Spurs legend

Footballer John White was killed by lightning in 1964, aged 27, leaving behind a widow, two children and a legacy of match moments. His son Rob has been trying to build a sense of the father he knew only from other people's memories

www.theguardian.com

That's a fine picture. In my teens I shared your admiration for Spurs, particularly Blanchflower and White (Greaves was very good, but I didn't revere him quite like you do). When I couldn't get to Utd away matches, I used to try to get to Spurs away matches when they were in the area, and I attach pictures of 2 such occasions. The first was a 4-0 win at Forest, which made their record 13 matches, 12 wins, one draw. That were 3 up in 25 minutes, and played some terrific football. White was able to glide around the pitch, and I remember thinking this was the best football I had ever seen. Of course, they went on to do the double that year, and thank god they did. In a 'normal' year, Wednesday's record would have been good enough to win the league. And Spurs were great box office - Forest had averaged 20,000 at home, and that day, they had over 37,000 in.
The second one is Man City away, a few days after Spurs had become the second English team to reach the European Cup semis. That must have taken it out of them, and they were hammered 6-2, a result that dented their chances of repeating winning the League. In fact, Ipswich went on a run, and overtook both them and Burnley, who were top at the time. United had a part to play - at the time, we were newly-promoted and in 5th place. We set Ipswich on their way by losing 4-0 there that day, but we hung on to 5th position to the end of the season, 1 place above Wednesday. Oh, and Greaves scored both Spurs goals that day.
Final memory: I could recite the Spurs back 6 (Brown, Baker, Henry, Blanchflower, Norman and Mackay) as quickly as Hodgkinson, Coldwell, Shaw G., etc. at that time. They had that same consistency of selection.

Dare I ask if you went to the game at S6 when Spurs lost their unbeaten record in the 1960-61 season? I never went there more certain that Wednesday would lose, and that is the closest I have been to coming away from a match feeling as bad as I do when Utd lose. In part because I seem to remember feeling that Wednesday deserved their win that day...

Bert would have loved to have seen that game but there was nobody to take the very youthful Bert.

Morgan, not Perryman

Debut at Oxford maybe?

Debut at Oxford maybe?

Or Ashton Gate judging by the scarves behind the goal?

It's the one above Atkinson's.

I've been wondering for a long time if this has anything to do with you, Andingmen as it ticks several boxes. This photo is taken from the Sheffield History forum.

When we were about 10 or 11 - mid-1970s - we used to wander up to Broomhill from Endcliffe Park, past Tony Christie's gated pad, and onto the Rolls Royce garage on Peel Street where we would then stand outside and gawp at the beautiful cars in the showroom window. Why we never went in to cadge some brochures, I'm not quite sure.
