Middlewood Road looking towards Hillsborough corner.

Ah, that explains why I didn't recognise it. I tend to give it a wide berth.

Well spotted, N20 Blade! The lottery started in November '94 and the Hillsborough tram stop opened October '95.

I a) had no idea there was a Sugg’s there and b) thought that Sugg’s had gone years before then!

I don't recognise any of the Blades.

Looking at the score and it's sequence, Saints must have had too much Xmas pudding the day before.

I don't recognise any of the Blades.

Silent will know but 9 looks like Fenoughty, 5 Mallender possibly? And Badger the one on the right maybe? It’s a tough one because we only see the back of them.

Number 9 Mick Hill, yes number 5 Ken Mallender. Judging from his haircut, I think Munks on the right

Chivers and Davies, goal machines with Paine and Channon who certainly knew where the back of the net was. All internationals.
Blades with a bunch of lads apart from Hodgy and Carlin.

Little Bighorn where Custer met his demise. I remember watching Errol Flynn in They Died With Their Boots On when I was a little kid in the 60's and it was only as I got older that I realised what horse shit it was. I read the book below and must admit, it's one of the best I've read and would definitely recommend it...

Loved that open day. I’ve got snaps with players (including a young right back…can’t remember what became of him), management, and owner…
