Then we sold Sherman Birch to Chelsea a few weeks later. Then we got relegated. Who'd have thought it?

Can't remember wearing purple scarfs Peter, remember a lad carrying a big carving knife though, saying her was gonna knife Mick Jones if he came out.

Very prophetic words from John Harris in 1968.

55 years ago today we sold Mick Jones to Leeds

That series of posts has been an education for me. I have occasionally wondered why I didn’t remember much about this sad saga. These posts set me thinking, and I now realise that I was abroad studying from July-September, had probably a couple of days back in Sheffield before starting my final year at uni (as the youngsters say, but I refuse to use the word). It was clearly a good time to be totally out of touch. Thanks for filling in that gap in my education.

55 years ago a Blade was born who was to start the process in us becoming the dominant force in the city.

If all those protestors (and I include myself) had known then....

A magnificent photo, the 3rd one down.

It was in one of those Playfair annuals if Bert's memory is still working at full capacity.
