16/7/1969
I wasnt really into football at the time, the comics I was reading were Dandy, Beano, Sparky and the Marvel comics (Thor, Avengers and Hulk etc) every week. I was excited about watching Star Trek for the first time at my maternal grandmother's in Hartley Brook Road on Saturday 12th July 1969. Four days later I can remember watching the Apollo 11 take off on tv at Maud Maxfield with the other pupils.
I think it was one summer evening in 1969 I was at my paternal grandmother's front garden mingling with my Uncle Ronnie and his group of friends. One of his friends called me over and asked me if I like football, I said "Yes", he then asked "who is your team?". I hesitated in answering, looking at Ronnie. He was a bit concerned that I would give the wrong answer so he advised "not Sheffield Wednesday?" I replied to his friend "Not Sheffield Wednesday!". After that, over the next few months I was aware that Ronnie, my dad and my cousin David Beardow are Blades but all my mum's brothers were all Wendy.
I think the below photos were taken before Rowley signed John Flynn and after Bernard Shaw had moved to Wolves.
