Summer 1965, we had just signed Reece. who was to play in Barry's position. Barry played a few appearances in the 1965-66 season before moving to Carlisle

It appears Barry has fallen asleep. There is another ex-Blade there too.

Silent Len Allchurch a great little player I always remember how he held his arms in a unique way when he ghosted past the full back

I have got some information regarding Barry Hartle from my mate in Stockport. Apparently Barry is still in the care home & it's his grandson !! who is appealing for "memories" of Barry's playing career on Where are they now? | footballers | Barry Hartle (where are they now .co.uk). Barry is suffering from dementia & does not communicate much about his playing career.
So come you old gits brush off the cobwebs & log in to give his grandson some background to his grandad's footballing past!

lovely skill by Barry in the opening minutes

Blades 3 Leicester 1 February 1962

Pitch looks in good condition for February. Like the way Allchurch fooled the keeper (was it Gordon Banks?) to score a clever equaliser. Nice lob by Kettleborough and Allchurch's 2nd was a lovely finish!

Found a report of when he was the star in the League Cup win at Newcastle

Two goals for Barry in the 2-1 win at Villa in Sept 1962

I remember that

I remember that game at home to Orient won 2-0 and walking back to the bus (not many of our parents could afford a car in those day) the newspaper board stating “The young ones have arrived”

An excellent reply for the original poster to see, and you have also made an old man very happy! When I saw that you had posted this video, I realised that my post 32 above was about to be seriously challenged, as it was based entirely on an almost 60-year-old memory with no other evidence to show that I was not confusing it with something totally different. I watched in fear, but it turns out that my report of something that happened 59 years ago was pretty good (modesty has never been my strong point!). It turns out that the ball hit Pace’s knee rather than his foot, but otherwise the goal is as described, and great improvisation from Pace and Hartle. And it turns out that Hodgy was exaggerating with Joe Shaw’s own goal!
