Thinking about it in the last few minutes, I think you are right that it was Stewart Unwin. I thought the name would come back to me immediately when you revealed his name but it didnt
 
I cannot recall the keeper Walton. Name just doesn't ring a bell. Was there another keeper that went onto represent us at first team level? I realise Hodgy and Bob Widdowson were first and second choices.

I remember going to those NI league matches and also Central league games. What year did we win the Central League? Was it the same season as this? I suppose if we'd won the County Cup that would have represented 'Our Treble.'

In those days I always saw Sunderland as our main opponents in the Northern Intermediate league.

65-66 we won the Central League. We were top of D1 until November that season as well :-)

Brian Arblaster was third choice keeper at the time. He went to Chesterfield and then Barnsley. He died a few years ago.
We won the Central League in the 1965-66 season

As did about half a dozen of ours and that was what struck me looking at those two teams and how much the game has changed in that respect.

It's unthinkable that any club in this country could produce a decent crop of local juniors. Even our YC final team didn't produce half a dozen who will have a decent career. If a club did produce a decent number, they'd never keep hold of them for years as we and Leeds did in those days.

Jumpers for goalposts....

Of ours Birchenall, Jones, Badger and Shaw all had lengthy top level careers at United and elsewhere, whilst Wagstaff, Barlow and Heaton player a fair number of games for United and had ok careers (but mainly outside D1). Bell player a handful of first team games for United, then went to Chesterfield where he played 150 games, which leaves only 3 out of 12 named who didn't make it

At the bottom of the programme sheet - Blades v Rotherham United in the County Cup semi final. The Glory Days.

Our Board will be all over this like a rash. ..'for all those fans who say we haven't won owt for 90 years, just look at this.'

An aside. I remember David Munks used to live at his parents in Greenhill village, next door but one to Dixon's fish and chip shop. I think Mick Hill used to lodge with them.
 
Are the Robinsons distantly related to Brendan Rodgers?
I know Woody's from Chapeltown, but he seems to be pre-defining the Alex Turner look 40 years early!
