The photo of Woody's goal in the Norwich programme is good. The other photo is Tudor celebrating his goal against the club he joined 17-18 months laterI'll see what I can do

29th August: 2004 11 years ago: Monty on the cover against L***s, a 2-0 win courtesy of Ward and Harley.
30th August 1986 29 years ago: The Burton sponsored L***s. A 1-0 win via Tony Philliskirk.
31st August 1974 41 years ago: 3-1 Ipswich. On YTV, Revie went into raptures about Tony Field's goal being one of the best he'd ever seen. Never got an England call up tho.
1st September 1965 50 years ago: A goaless stalemate with Sherman making his debut.
And Today: 46 years ago: 2-0 Newcastle United League Cup. A rather battered offering. Who scored and also played in goal?

You're not kidding. I remember when they came to BDTBL towards the end of the 89-90 season, pushing for promotion, as were we. Sunderland won 3-1. What a noise their fans made.Used to enjoy Sunderland coming, always a good atmosphere
4th September 1971 Nottingham Forest 2 Blades 3 (Dearden, Currie, Scullion)
Think Forest scored first before Dearden equalised before half time. We score two in one minute in the 2nd half. Think Ian Storey-Moore scored Forest's second late in the game
That bottom programme v. wet sham shows a view of the Lane end before the current stand. Don't suppose you have a photo of it - not sure I've ever seen it.Good choice, but there are a couple of other noteworthy games for this day.

The game where TC got the ultimate revenge. United 4-0 up inside 17 minutes. TC sitting on the ball, like Ball had done the previous season. Pure quality.

September 4th 1965, 50 years ago today, an 8 goal thriller at the Lane as United beat the Spammers 5-3. Sherman, Docherty and Kettlebrough put United in command. Geoff Hurst replied. before Mick Jones grabbed a couple in the second half. Joe Kirkup and Johnny Bryne with the consolations.
South stand was full quite a few times at the beginning of the 75-76 season as I recall... e.g. opener against Derby...
I think this was the first away match I ever went to. I would have been 14 years old. I remember taking the bus with a mate and it was a hot sunny day. I don't think we'd ever been to Nottingham either, it was quite an adventure. On arrival we met with some other Blades who told us to watch out for Forest fans as they had a habit of throwing visiting supporters in the River Trent. I had only got my learner's swimming certificate at the time, so I hoped it wasn't true.
The atmosphere in the ground was red hot. I can't recall what the crowd figure was, but I'd guess upwards of 20,000, with a big following from Sheffield. It was an exciting game as I recall. I remember seeing Ian Storey-Moore, who was a very talented footballer. Another one who stood out for me on the day was Peter McCormack - long black hair and a very dangerous player. But, the Blades overcame them in the end and I remember at the full time whistle most of the Forest fans had left and the stadium was ringing to the chants from the United fans. What a day!
Unitedites were all on the terrace down the touchline
Been waiting for this one, my first game, 50 years ago todayGood choice, but there are a couple of other noteworthy games for this day.

The West Ham Team included, Moore, Hurst and Peters, plus a young Rednapp on the wing

The below picture was in September 1964
It is usually cold in New Years Day. My dad regularly stood in the Lane End from WW2 until 1966They look bloody freezing.

If the wind was facing towards John Street it would have been cold because the Pavillion seemed to be too far away to block the wind!I meant the photo, where there's some sun!
I may have adjusted to a 'London climate', however I'm aware it can occasionally be a bit chilly in January. Probably dips as low as 15 degrees down here

I take it the stand in the last pitch is the one you see in the second cricket pic? Is it the BL end, and if so, is any of that stand still used for the current stand (I would guess yes, the top tier looks about the same)
Fantastic photos Cyprus. In the first photo we had new floodlights installed in the 1961-62 season and I think the older and smaller floodlights were removed not long after the photo was taken.View attachment 13176
