Reminds me of my gimp mask.

I know that name. Wasn't he a face in the old Shoreham Republican Army?

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Our away kit for 1976-77 and 1977-78

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Cheers silent. I didn't know people wore scarves etc that matched the away kit in the 70's. Thought it was a modern money spinner.

We went on the train special to that game it pulled in at New St had a right ruck with West Brom.
Bent Nose Mitchell took over the bar on the train just serving anybody.

Don't listen to him mate, it's one of those half and half scarfs which he bought off SwissBlade .

Yeah , he still go's to the Lane . Most of the old Barmy Army still go .... although one or two of em struggle to make it out of the ale house for the match !

In fact a very prominent member of the old Barmy Army posts from time to time on here .

P.S I know your Uncle Ron well indeed silent . Anybody wanting a good and very funny walk down memory lane could do far worse than sharing a beer with him on a Saturday afternoon .

 

[sitwell]

Yes hes still around ,saw him not long ago in town where the Three Tuns used to be , You can take the shark out of basking

 

[Kenilworth]

Scarves tied like a neck tie
You don't see that much these days.
Also used to see silk versions of scarves, which were tied around wrists. They went out of fashion yonks ago. Before the 80s stared, I think

He passed away some years ago
See Little Herman regularly
And bumped into Mr Mitchell a few weeks ago when we discussed a rather eventful trip to Wrexham for a night game

 

[Silent Blade]

Yes, passed away aged 49. I have heard of him through Ronnie but dont know what he looked like

Little Herman still goes to Lane, see him often after matches and we usually walk back to where I park near his house.
We were mates at school from 5 to 15 and in the same crew knocking around streets of Heeley.

Think he sits in near me on John St ? Does he go with his daughters ?

He was sat with his family at the bottom of the John St stand when Mick Parry introduced me to him about 14 years ago

I was supposed to be on that train with a few others (I was the kid of the group, about 13 ) but we missed it.

Think he still sits on John St. It may well be his granddaughters?

We went down on an early coach - Derby fans throwing bricks at the windows from a field off the A38 at about 9am!!
Bumped into Ronnie at one of the services going down....certainly looked the part!
Arrived for 11.30 and straight into a boozer....lovely sunny day with loads of Blades out basking in the sun..
Heavy defeat to finish another dismal season off if I remember correctly.
We all seemed to accumulate a loads of annoying bells too...
