Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

Naked?

Yup - apart from Slade Socks and Alvin Stardust gloves

Jimmy was never an ever present in any of the seasons he was at the club.

Apparently someone used to walk around the pitch at the Lane with the team line-up on a board carried above their head. My dad said there would be an audible groan from the crowd following him around if Hagan's name wasn't on it.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

oh god, that looks so old! Can't remember much of the game, I feel like it was a bit dull? I was sat in the stand to the left. My overriding memory is the tram journey there, being surrounded by Magpies singing "Peter Reid's got a fuckin monkey's heed!" and punching the ceiling of said tram

You were on the same tram as me, then. Ever since then, whenever Peter Reid has been on the telly or the radio, I find myself singing "Peter Reid's got a fuckin' monkey's heed!" out loud, audience or not!

Great photo. Away at Preston judging by the ground staff's hiviz, I wouldn't have known otherwise .

 

[BerksBlade]

Definitely Speight.

Maybe Mick was giving dirty Leeds some back?

I saw Micky walking down cherry st towards the players entrance before a pre season game - think it was a texico cup game or something - I asked him for his autograph which he duly obliged and then asked me if I was going to put it on the shithouse wall

Good bloke and made a strong fist of limited skill

Tony Field also in this pic. 1974.

Yes but they wore black shorts in the 1974-75 season also they wore black collars

Generally white collars though. And shorts and socks.

Was this played a few days after Leeds sacked Brian Clough?

We did play them a week or so after he was sacked in September but I think this game could be April 74, could be wrong though.

Yes, TC was ruled out for the rest of the season after the Birmingham game in March 1974 because he was having a knee operation so Speight wore TC's number 10 shirt at Leeds in April 1974

The official black collar kits were with white shorts. The black ones with the away shirt. Kit changes would occur.

White shorts and socks clash? Videos show them wearing black shorts against opponents who wore white. Maybe they just chopped and changed?

The photo of Lorimer and Speight was obviously at Elland Road hence the reason why I said Stoke wore black shorts at Elland Road in 1974-75

Yes. Clash. I thought you were saying that was the official first team kit. It would appear that’s not the case.

Sorry for not making myself clear in my answer to DifferentClass

My first away match, won 1 - 0 with a goal from Woody and I remember getting the Green Un that night and we were top of the First Division, Pigs were bottom of the Second. What a day!

The three blokes I went with fancied a pint outside the ground and so left me (a snotty nosed kid) in a cafe close by with some pop and crisps. I was shitting myself when a load of Everton lads came in hanging round the pinball machine and was really relieved when my fellow Blades came and got me. We were sat in the middle of the Everton lot on the side stand but when Woody smacked the ball home we all jumped up. Had to run the gauntlet getting back to the car but the joy I felt watching that marvelous bunch of players bring 2 points back from Goodison Park will live with me forever.

Any ideas why we played with the orange ball Silent?
