Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Silent Blade]

Eddie looks a little uncomfortable here. I'm wondering if the leg injury occurred in the game and is the photo after 'THAT' goal?

Got injured in the previous week's match against Chelsea and was doubtful to play at Old Trafford in the week leading to the match.

The last bus leaving before the houses were demolished and the land flooded for the reservoir.

Well cocked that up, proper, my only excuse is I were four thousand miles away in Sept '62 and there were no buses to the Boleyn.
1-1 Graham Shaw penalty, I see.
Remember his penalty method, run up and hit it as hard as possible, I equated it very much like taking a goal kick.

As a kid growing up in the 40's there was much talk of the dam and when passing there more than often were many people around taking a look.
In my mind I had always thought it older than it is, sadly I'm older than it.

1904 at a guess. The side that played arguably still one of the great matches of all time v Essex at Queens Park.

Bert, yesterday, grand daughter sent me a photo of herself, babe in arms, and her grandmother taken by an auntie some twenty + years ago. Broke me up and made me 'blubber' for quite awhile until I could gather my emotions.
This photo of the pavilion is on around eighty +percent emotionally of the photo I was sent yesterday.
Brings a tear to the eye, remembering all the great players who trod the boards, from before W.G. down to 'Sir' Geoffrey. Surely could have been an asset to the club, properly marketed.
Good post Bert, but to an old codger, very, very sad.

I've got this thing about large areas of standing water and posting this gives me the creeps. Knowing there was a village under there is even worse but take a look at this for a bit more information.

They were a place people called home but these Peak District villages were drowned to make way for a giant reservoir

A giant new reservoir could be built in the Peak District if plans get the go-ahead.

Absolutely this. I acknowledge things move on over time and progress is essential, but the demolition of the cricket pavilion was an act of pure vandalism. A kick in the bollocks to those craftsmen who designed and built it. But hey, throwing the city's heritage down the shitter is a thing we excel at in Sheffield.
