Didn't Steve live in one of the Hassall houses at Waterthorpe, along side Kenworthy, Macphail and Sabella?
Good keeper good man.
Sad news

Yes that’s right but they were built by J C Homes which was owned by Hassall.
I lived 1 door away from Sabella.

I probably missed it

the united half of the tivoli was rammed couldnt move on there and exploded when barry butlin put the winning goal in with far post header it was just after the final whistle when we heard a thud and the wall collapsed

I’m sure Bourne’s equaliser was a header, not a penalty

Interesting. Sabella lived at no 77 i bought his house after he left Leeds in 1982. Probably my only claim to football fame

You must have lived there when I did, I lived at 81 bought it new and moved in 1992.
An old lady must have lived between us named Ann

no bournes goal was a penalty at the railway end and butlins winn

might have been thought it was a penalty but butlins header was at the tivoli end

Yes i had forgotten her name but that's correct. Moved out in 87, small world. We used to use the Hawk and Dove in it's early years. Nice little set up with Kenworthy, Macphail, Conroy and possibly Beagrie? All seemed decent.
