Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Bert]

you must have only just got in bert round about that time that they announced that the gates were shutting should have been an all ticket match we would have filled that end you can see when best scored that goal all the fans on that end were mancs mind they had been queuing from 9.30 that morning most of our fans didnt stand a chance of getting in

Bert and his gang pushed in to the front of the queue.

It was the only way of getting in.
As you say, there were very few from Sheffield behind that goal.

Still not convinced 'that goal' was an honest attempt on goal from Best. Still think it was a mis-kicked cross. There were some dodgey scenes outside the ground aswell. Pleased to get away unscathed!

we took over 10k that day and bet 90% didnt get in the traffic jams going over the snake that day caused most of our fans not getting in it was horrendous losing our left back and a miscontrol in the centre circle by sir len cost us that day by all accounts we should have won that game

Bert went on the train. There was a station right next to the ground.

A mass of people were outside, the United coach had just arrived and Bert squeezed past the players and a big basket of kit as they tried to get in the players entrance.

Obviously in the early days of DH Gate, as no Umbro logo. Looks familiar but can't name him.

Silent would be able to name the player, give his date of birth, his star sign, whilst playing chess with 4 different opponents and also playing a hand of whist for good measure.
