We tried to sign Ian Collard from West Brom a fortnight earlier but he didnt want a drop in wages. We then turned our attention to Eddie Colquhoun.

Graeme Crawford back at the Lane after recovery from injury he suffered just after he signed for us from East Stirling in the previous month.

Remember being at the Blacpool and Palace games..We were on John Street for the Palace game,and my Dad mentioned Woodruff was a danger with the long throw he had..didn't know he scored though...Always glad to beat Blackpool as my Uncle and cousin lived there and followed them.
 
Rowley gives up on Alex Young. Young went on to sign for Stockport County but played only 23 games for them before retiring due to injury.

I bought a ticket for that Mansfield fa cup away match. When my mother found out she gave me a clout and told me I couldn’t go. For some strange reason I took it to the Barnsley Chronicle offices and told them to find a good home for it.
I’d forgotten completely about that. Good threads these Silent to keep Alzheimer’s at bay
 
Danny Blanchflower was a terrible commentator, all he ever seemed to say was “chance”
 

Reference Ken Mallender. He was another recruit from Don and Dearne Boys. We signed loads from there, Frank Barlow, Geoff Salmons to name but two. The South Yorkshire coalfields were a great recruiting ground for young footballers. Wolves had a nursery club there, Wath Wanderers, played home games at Brampton I believe ?

Someone asked me did Dearden and Tudor play in the same lineup together for The Blades. I'm not sure sure. I don't think think they did.
