I was only 3 at the time and was about to start my schooldays at Maud Maxfield school in September. I think my dad still attended the home games and on a few occasions he took me to watch our reserves matches.
Most of our squad were very young but 37 year old Joe Shaw was still our star player. Average attendances at the Lane were dropping since 1962-63. Our first signing from a different club in 4 years was Gil Reece who we signed from 4th division Newport County.
The club were still planning on having a new stand at the Bramall Lane end.
This was the first season when substitutions were introduced.
Back row left to right: Brian Richardson, Len Badger, David Munks, Reg Matthewson, Barry Hartle.
Middle row: John Short (coach), Len Allchurch, Ken Mallender, Mick Jones, Alan Hodgkinson, Cec Coldwell, Graham Shaw, Joe Shaw, Archie Clarke (scout).
Bottom row: Alan Birchenall, John Docherty, Gil Reece, John Harris (manager), Tony Wagstaff, Alan Woodward, Keith Kettleborough.
