Yorkshire v Australia 1968

View attachment 90357

I was at that match. Sat in the John Street if I remember rightly. Trueman was windmilling at every ball bowled at him. He was a bit peed off having to run the odd run. He much preferred 6s and 4s

A photo of Raquel..?? .come on we are losing the thread now...
Looked like Phil Sharpe at slip, great man.

Talking of Fred Trueman and Raquel Welch ....

This at the wedding of her son, Damon, and his daughter, Rebecca.

"Come wi' me, lass 'n' ah'll buy thee a pint"

Not surprised it only lasted two years.

If ever there was a perfect example of a culture clash, this, surely, was it!

Yes, I was at the Yorkshire- Australia match , at our ground, in 1968. Great photo Silent. Fred was captain as Yorkshire hammered the Aussies by an innings and 69 runs. Fred often said that was his proudest moment in cricket . He took 6 wickets in the match whilst Illy took 8. Geoff Boycott made 86. One of many great matches at The Lane.

I always regarded Gerry Young as a Wednesday stalwart, in an era when players didn’t see loyalty as a dirty word. I’m sorry to hear of his passing.
That second photo is great, showing a rate tussle with Sherman.
Interesting that the Leppings Lane stand is being built and that a small covered area which the Cantilever replaces is still there. If my memory is correct that remained next to the new stand for a number of years.

Thanks for the head up on the old piece of cover on the North side. I couldn't work out why Lepp's lane end was there and no cantilever stand.

Good photo, what a great chest and pair of legs. Fredrick Sewards was born to be a pace bowler, had all the physical attributes, his action was poetry in motion.
Seeing the photo reminded me I've always wondered whether he did or not. What do you reckon?

 

[XM657]

It's a big error, but then it's rather in keeping with poor old Gerry.

Yes dead right, they would have won the cup if Gerald hadn't have had to wet nurse that big lump, forgot his name.
Win win for me, O*^s lost and I paid out 5/- bet loss to a Toffee work mate, cheap as I have a life time of them unable to say they won the cup in '66.

Poor old Gerry tried to trap an easy ball, it went straight under his foot resulting in Everton scoring the winner.

Yes, all right what you say, but I feel the mistake was a culmination of Young playing his own game and also keeping an eye on Samuel.
I liked Young, good player, experienced, never gave any quarter, hard and fair, 100%er. Felt for him in '66 and sad news to hear of his passing.

I think absolutely, definitely not!

Disappointed, I've always thought he would have been right up her street, spades a spade man not like the havie quavie Hollywood types, and don't forget he was quite good at bowling maiden overs.

Two photos of Bailey Street (which runs between Trippet Lane and Broad Lane).Taken in July 1984.





In the first pic, the 3 storey gable-fronted building on the left had been the Girl Guide headquarters. In the early 60's I visited there as a 11/12 year old lad going in for a Junior Red Cross first aid competition. Part of the test was to quickly externally examine young, pubescent "victims" of simulated accidents and apply appropriate treatment. It was the first time I'd truly felt a girl's breasts- albeit through her blouse. Our team didnt win but I certainly felt I had that day.
Further down on the same side, one or both of those red brick fronted sheds were, during the late sixties, used as garaging facilities for the then green Post Office Telephones vans. I was based out of there as a "youth" for the GPO for a while. I absolutely loved every working minute in those days
Bailey Street is probably just another non-descript Sheffield road to most people but it certainly has vivid memories for me.

Many, many years ago, I once did a job at a little mesters type cutlery manufactor in that area, what a shit tip, dangerous hell hole it was, but tell you what, the end product was shipped all over the world and would certainly grace the most regal of dining tables.

Top hole again, are the photos.
Looking at the GPO garages, there's a large waste of materials there, why the step backs. Obvious the frontage was built after the main building and there is a need for something to put flashings into to form a water tight seal with the roof, but to extend it that far seems a waste. Typical of nationalized type organisations then and now. Rant over.

In John Arlott’s book “Fred”, he wrote that a beamer hummed past Bill Lawry’s nose....

I think the rough edges of the Maltby lad were a slightly hewn, when he moved out to live near Skipton. The wedding breakfast was at the Devonshire Arms, Bolton Abbey and a helicopter pad was put in for the occasion. I know this, because a friend of ours got married at the the same place a few weeks later. Our friends do was a bit OTT (penguin suits), but very much overshadowed by THE society wedding a couple of weeks before.

Great bowler but he was a right pain on TMS as he could never credit any current players and always harked back to his day.

Never met him, but he was a great bowler for Yorkshire and England so RIP old lad.

Quality place the Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey and penguin suits are entirely appropriate if I may say so

The Devonshire Arms Hotel

The Devonshire Arms Hotel on the Bolton Abbey Estate offers comfortable bedrooms, a tranquil spa and unforgettable menus.

Indeed he was, an all time great, just look at his career stats to confirm that. Rumour has it he weighed 14lb at birth!. I believe he played some games for SUCC also

Hello all, been many a year since I have posted on here but I have been 'lurking' for a long time. My dad, a lifelong Blade, passed away earlier this month and it was his funeral today. It would have been his and my mum's 56th wedding anniversary tomorrow - I believe on the day they were married (5th September 1964), we beat Wednesday 2-0 at Hillsborough. I just wondered if anyone had any pictures from that match? Probably unlikely but it would be nice to see them if so.

Thanks & UTB

Bert will have a look tomorrow in his garage for an old programme that has pictures.

Used to see him regularly wandering around Gargrave when I was working around there .

Correct, was thinking '66 was the build date of north stand, lazy thinking, but in my defence was out of Sheffield early '60, When was the cantilever stand built?

The original North West Terrace was built between 1919 and 1920 to adjoin both the North Stand and West Stand, but was demolished and replaced in mid 1966, in time for the 1966 World Cup
