Ernie Moss, John McAlle, Sir Bob Hatton and Phil Sproson. 2-0 v Port Vale? My guess anyway. Silent Blade will tell us all soon hopefully.

That's the first thing that came to Bert's mind as well.

McAlle was Ian Porterfield's first signing.

That was the answer to a Radio Hallam quiz question that won me two tickets in the old Directors box on John Street v Huddersfield 1982 - memorable for Curran scoring twice and (personally)memorable for me losing a penalty comp at HT to a bloke who'd had about 12 pints.

12pints, steadies the nerves, giving no fear.

yeah loads of interesting afternoons on the shoreham between 71 and 75 but apart from manure and weeds no club had any success and only survived courtesy of south yorkshire police

Bert thinks that this is the first photo he posted on this thread which has since disappeared.

He could be wrong though.

1975/76 I think it was the day both had put in transfer requests.

Yes, that's the one that started things off.

I wasn't at the Norwich game, would be playing myself.
But!
Who was at the 5thR game at the Lane V Arsenal?
"A foggy night in Sheffield Town"
and Jack Kelsey feeling lonesome.

I was at this match and it is the worst weather conditions I've ever seen a Lane game played in. Is this the Kop or Lane end goal?

 

[XH536]

Yes, that's the one that started things off.

..............and long may it continue.

Media

Which in those days meant reporters with paper and pencils. The roof doesn’t look as though it offers any protection from the elements, leading to some very soggy spiral bound note pads if the weather turned….

That game v Norwich ended as a giant killing, Div 3 Norwich got a draw at Bramall Lane and won the replay 3-2.

Terry Bly was playing for Norwich and 2 seasons later, he scored 54 goals for Peterborough United in their first league season, a post war record that Erling Haaland didn’t quite beat, albeit at a considerably higher level.

Currie and Woodward look a bit Shifty and wonder what they, ve been up to lol.

I was there too and also at the original tie at Highbury .

Both are high on my list of favourite Blades watching experiences despite the quite appalling conditions for the replay , as you say .
