Surrey Street before the building of The Central Library on the right hand side? I think that on the very left of the picture, where you can see a couple of windows, is Leader House, the only building out of that lot to still exist.

Does anyone recognise this? Not even sure if it's 50s or 60s.

Think is is against Huddersfield. HodgysBrokenThumb will know. Looks like Ray Wilson the number 3

Some excellent footballers in that team including some of my all time favourites

Joe Shaw and Jimmy Hagan are obviously two of them , but I would also include Burgin , Ringstead , Jim Iley and Colin Grainger , the latter being still the only English player to have scored 2 goals against Brazil . I had great pleasure in watching that match on black and white TV , having developed a mysterious illness which prevented me from going to school that day .

As for Jim Iley , he is seldom remembered for the number qualities he possessed which included courage , determination, the ability to carry the ball forward and provide excellent passes both long and short . The fact that he went on to have successful careers with both Spurs and Newcastle and was greatly appreciated by fans of both these , is a good indication as to what an excellent footballer he was .

Remarkable coincidence, but I was ill and off school for the Brazil match. After the first 10 minutes or so, I decided I was ‘lucky’ to be ill…

In the late 1960s there was a shop on the corner of what was Norfolk Street and Howard Street, on the right hand side of the old photo, called ‘Lift Up Your Skirt and Fly,’ a swinging sixties boutique. My sister worked there for a while and you could actually get into the upstairs of the building, which was more or less derelict, with huge holes in the internal walls and floors, quite dangerous really.
That whole row of buildings was demolished to make way for the old Town Hall extension and the building of Arundel Gate. Howard Street today is a much truncated version of the original street

I reverse searched your picture and it led to this fantastic set of photos of Sheffield from the 60s to 80s

Possibly March 8, 1958. Pace and Ray Wilson played, and is that Brian Richardson celebrating a rare goal? He scored that day, and the hairstyle looks right…

Tickhill nailed it previous page, 3-1 v Brighton 1959, Kevin Lewis goal in the pic (so says Google)

‘Desdemona’ can’t really remember it, but was written by Marc Bolan.

He was their guitarist at the time.

I think that might be the second time I’ve made that mistake .

Tha'll remember it n'aa though.
Tommy Taylor, some player were he.
Apparently, when he rolled up at Old Trafford, from Barnsley, he arrived with his boots in a, as then paper, carrier bag.

Gosh look at 'chimmly', where's Fred.

We went to this game and looking back over 60 plus years, how lucky I was to see these marvellous players in the flesh, Shackleton, the Haganesque style player, for Sunderland also.
Man. Utd. won 4-0 to secure the 1st Div. title for the second season in succession, Whelan-2, Edwards & Taylor.
