I like to think the caption for this read, 'Bert Lipsham having his head replaced after fearsome tackle by his Villa opponent'.
Oh! and don't let the buggers that play today see this or they'll be wanting a chair when they get nudged over.
Tozzing photo S.B., thanks for posting.

I wonder if the trainer was using smelling salts to try and get Lipsham recover quicker?

Where's the bucket and the magic sponge?

Not really, they would be in a bottle, wouldn't they? Plus they would be held under the nose.
The hand looks a little iffy and rather large. Some retouching there me thinks.
The black mark, which I presume is a mark on the negative, which would have been or is glass, occurred in it's long life, strange as the rest of the photo is crystal clear.
Non the less a marvellous photo and now my top all time Blades one.

Chair in place of.

Have you noticed the big fella's got a different striped shirt on and what an imposing figure, even allowing for perspective.
Any info on the photos, are they both at Molineux?
Morren, centre half, small, shows how the game changes.

Prendo was a nice guy. Remember talking to him at the time and saying I wish we'd got him at the Lane, he replied "me too". Joicey was working at Gilders car showroom at Woodseats a few years ago.

Would love some of these glass slides in my Blades collection. So hard to come by.

What a team we were back then!

Thanks for sharing.

XH536 ,regarding Silent's earlier posting of Lipsham's head treatment photo- you observed it was "tozzing". I have not heard that word since the late forties, whilst living in Darnall. Meaning great or wonderful etc. Have you, or indeed anybody else any recollections of this word. As kids anything outstanding was "tozzing" . Examples being Roy Rogers or Tarzan films (Pictures ) as we used to call them. Was it localised ie, just Darnall andAttercliffe, or widely used in Sheffield?
Certainly cannot describe any of Blades' performances of late, being Tozzing.

I remember it being used at school when I was a lad in the sixties. I was at Gleadless County school.

Seems it’s been discussed in The Star, but I haven’t got an account to read any more of it. I lived in the posh half, and never heard it.

 

[Darnall Siam Blade]

Thanks for that HBT. SW12- I moved to Gleadless from Darnall in 1949 so may have have heard it in early fifties.

Always thought tozzin was a standard slang word, untill I used it to describe a footballers abilities at a Mumbles Rangers children's presentation. Apparently everyone thought I had just sworn about a kid and were dumbfoundered. I spent the next hour trying to explain it was a compliment. Didn't do another presentation, left it to the locals.

PS Born and bred in Handsworth, hence it being a natural word.

It was definitely used in Stocksbridge in the 70's.

That’s a great story

We used to use the word "weth" in the 1970s; my memory is that some of us - me included - used it to describe something as good, whereas others insisted it meant something was crap. This confusion may provide the reason why it never caught on beyond Greystones Middle School 1974-1978, and Herring and Stephenson House at High Storrs circa 1978/1979.

From Hollinsend me, which were a tozzing place 40's and 50's. Yew Tree, mi granma, when I were fetching two bottles o' pale ale and a bottle o' lemonade, for Sunday, roast beef and Yorkshires, dinner(lunch) "Don't you go in there", nearer, "go to Ned Vaughn's", about another hundred and fifty yards further on, bang opposite end of Alnwick Rd. Yew Tree, opposite bottom o' Croft.
Rex, at the bottom of Hollinsend road. Mi mate's mum used to take us there, Thursday matinees, when on school holidays and returning up Hollinsend Rd we would be re-enacting what ever the film had been.
Brickyard, which made bricks for the local pits Birley(old) and (new), with its tall chimney.
Jaunty Lane, with the cat & dog pond, around about opposite Centre Spot, then up the Longfields, through the growing wheat. Taking a wheat ear, rubbing it between your palms, blowing the chaff away then eating the wheat seed. The track exiting where Jaunty Rd meets Fox Lane. In around '48 a biplane ran short of fuel and tried to land on the rec., Hollinsend Park, but decided against it and eventually landed in the second field down Jaunty Lane. All us kids were on morning playtime and witnessed the drama. Later, refuelled, with help from the teachers, he got airborne to rousing cheers from all the school, as we were allowed to watch the take off, waggled his wings and away he went.
Soz, got carried away there, I'll shurrup now and get mi coat.
