Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Haslam and Bergara. The worst we've had. And I'm including Adkins and Weir in that evaluation.....

I once gave Haslam a bollocking in front of John Hassall , Martin Peters and Derek Dooley .

The latter was standing behind him with a big smile on his face and egging me on .

What was it about?

What was it about?

His team selection on the day when we’d lost at home to , I think Chesterfield , and the fact that he kept calling us ‘my club’.

I told him it wasn’t his fucking club but that of me and thousands like me who had been following the Blades for many , many years before he came and would be doing so long after he’d gone - along with another few choice home truths .

1902 FA Cup final that ended in a 1-1 draw. One change for the replay, Billy Barnes replaced the injured Walter Bennett, scored the winning goal for us and moved to West Ham during the summer

Glad we sorted the colour of our shorts out eventually. Meanwhile, what IS Nudger doing in his pocket?

Colin Rawson!

Bonus point for that! I saw him play a few times, but I was nowhere near recognising him…

What is very interesting about the Cec Coldwell photo is the background which is of course the Kop, BUT it shows the railings which enclosed the undercover area of the Kop. You paid to get into the Ground and then there was another charge ( was it a shilling ? ) to go through that white box turnstile and get undercover. I presume there was a similar arrangement at the top of the Kop for entry that way.
Great Pics. A favourite of mine was Colin Collindridge. I once saw him score a goal at the Lane that if we had had MOTD cameras there then would have been shown as the intro. for the next 10 years and sod Best's effort against us. I think its described in Clarebrough's book as " A Wonder Goal "
I wouldn't have got Colin Rawson from that photo either.

Was there not quite a long queue if everyone going on to the kop from that side had to go through that 1 turnstile?

There didn't seem to be. Maybe alot of people went in the top way from S'ham St or maybe the Yorkshire frugality kicked in and people stayed outside that enclosure.

Found this old t shirt in a box with old away ticket stubs, etc. Think I bought it 84/85 from club shop.

John Short (coach), Garth Lee and Harry Orr.

Alan Birchenall recalled in his autobiography that during a training match, John Harris was shouting "hold the ball, hold the ball!!" so Garth picked the ball up and held it above his head!

You might find you will speed up. Some of us have probably posted the same photo more than once… Not that we can remember doing it, mind
