Dornan was highly regarded but homesickness set in almost as soon as he arrived in England

Dornan had another go in England in 1979: he played once for Swindon.

He played for many years as a part timer for Linfield. He also owned his own law firm after qualifying as a solicitor. The firm still exists but I don't think he is in business himself any more.

v Blackburn in September 1976

Below is Melvyn Jackson who lived 3 houses away from me in Dronfield and his son, Mark, was a childhood friend of mine. Mark now lives next door to my Uncle Ronnie. Melvyn died about 15 to 20 years ago.

Just googled the photographer, I’m only on the 75-80 Archive but there is some brilliant photos of Sheffield. Plenty around London Rd - Abbeydale - Woodseats Rd. That’s as far as I’ve got so far.

These excellent photos have done the rounds on this thread before. I cannot unsee the massive flares in the pictures. Especially the middle-aged dad following his lads through the turnstile who appears to have thought he needed to infill them to make them even bigger. They say all fashion comes round again. These flares might be the exception.

Didn’t realise they had been on before.

I need to read through this thread again abit at a time to refresh my memory and no doubt see excellent pics I’ve forgotten.

Mammoth job, but far more enjoyable and informative than the tekover thread. Enjoy. This one is a pandora's box of memories and discovery. I love it.

Read it all through the years but many pics long forgotten about from years ago. Just going to start it again now, a steady 20-30 pages a day and see how I go 👍
 

Wonderful memories, remember well going in that ‘corner shop’ many times whilst waiting for autographs in the school holidays!

Visited Tombstone 12 years ago, amongst the memorabilia was Earps cut-throat razor \( allegedly ) which was made in Sheffield.

On one of my first trips here a good few years ago, I went to a museum in Pendleton, Oregon which is a bit of a rodeo town. The first case I looked in had a Bowie knife, pride of place with Made in Sheffield engraved on the blade. Made me really proud to be honest, reminded me of when I was a snotty nosed kid with my face pressed up against the glass display cases in the market, in awe at the craftsmanship of the knives on display there.
 
Many years ago I lived in Sunderland and I had a room in a house shared with a family. One day we were watching a film called The Iron Mistress starring Alan Ladd as Jim Bowie. I casually mentioned that the Bowie knife was made in Sheffield, but before I could get any further the mum and dad shot me down by saying that wasn’t right and that it was a meteorite found by Bowie and taken to a blacksmith to forge into the famous shape and then given to Bowie to use. They were so vehement in their assertion that I let it go. About 10 minutes later there was a montage in the film where Bowie finds a meteorite, takes it to a blacksmith etc, etc. at which point they both turned to me with a smug grin on their face and said ‘see’. I couldn’t get my breath.
Oddly a few years later, the knife Alan Ladd used in the film was in an exhibition I saw here inSheffield.

Didn't know this until I watched the latest episode of the repair shop.
A daughter wanted her some of her father's cut-throat razor's repairing, he had been a barber, and she has followed in his footsteps.
The expert said that from the mid 1600's, all cut-throat razors were made in Sheffield.
