Downstairs in Wilson Peck is where they sold tickets for the City Hall concerts. Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, David Bowie etc, Bert bought 'em all.

Note how close the dugouts were to each other in those days.

No subs, just the Trainer with his bucket and the manager sat in the Stand.

Could Farooq possibly be the foreign guy rather than Steve?

Believe Steve was from Poland...and Farouk from Sheffield...

Remember going in there aged about 9/10 with stringjunior and Steve wasn't having anymore of my blond type bowl affair... 30 mins later short back and sides with a quiff type spammed up at the front... MEGA

Steve's real name was probably Sczchczwzcz

A couple more interesting photos from a 1971 programme vs watford with a few clips from the game against cardiff a few days earlier, both of which I saw as a kid. Was a terrific era and we were promoted and faced Arsenal away in the first match of the next season and we won 1-0 and were top of the old first division (now premiership) for several weeks until that fateful match at old trafford and that bloody george best goal they show on TV all too often.

In those days I was too shy to play the guitars in store, as I only knew a handful of chords! Used to just stand staring at them!
