That is the England 1962 World Cup squad
Back row L to R; Jimmy Armfield, Bobby Robson, Walter Winterbottom (team manager), Ron Flowers, Maurice Norman, Don Howe, Stan Anderson, Jimmy Adamson (player & assistant manager), Harold Shepherdson (trainer), Bryan Douglas.
Front row; John Connelly, Jimmy Greaves, Peter Swan, Gerry Hitchens, Ron Springett, Johnny Haynes, Alan Hodgkinson, Ray Wilson, Bobby Charlton, Alan Peacock,Bobby Moore, George Eastham and Roger Hunt.
In the bottom picture Derek Kevan (who was one of the World Cup squad members but he remained at home as a reserve) is the player running with Hodgkinson at White Hart Lane (I think)

somewhere in there is an unexploded bomb.i held it !

Surfing the net I came across this extract from a book " Gas Masks for Goal Posts: Football in Britain During the Second World War" -

"Ten bombs fell on the ground itself, destroying a large section of the John Street Stand. The visitors’ and referee’s changing rooms, along with the club’s medical room and about one-third of the ground’s seating were lost. The roof of the Kop was also destroyed and there were two craters in front of the goal at the Bramall Lane End, and one at each end of the cricket pitch.

The Sheffield Telegraph announced simply that the forthcoming game against Newcastle United had been cancelled – wartime censorship forbade the newspaper to explain that enemy action was to blame – and, indeed, there was no more football at Bramall Lane that season. United moved their home games to Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough stadium and, as is the nature of these things, their first “home” match was against Wednesday. In the meantime, United raised £35 from the sale of reclaimed timber from the damaged stand.

The Blades returned to Bramall Lane in September 1941, the damage cleared up. (But forty-three years later, the Luftwaffe had still not finished with Sheffield United: in 1984, a home match against Oldham Athletic had to be postponed when an unexploded German bomb from the Second World War was found close to Bramall Lane during building work.)"

I never knew we had played at Hillsborough before.

What a view.
On my 18th birthday on the way home from the Limit ,about 15 of us climbed over the wall and had a pretend game about 3 in the morning. The whole thing ,running out of that tunnel and running over to the kop waving to the crowd ,and then a match ,but we didn't have a ball so just made it up as we went along. Great mates ,great birthday.

iam glad iam not the only 1. on the way back from republic i jumped a wall. ran around the pitch,scored a volley infront of the kop, had a wee in the centre circle,opened the tunnel doors, fell down the stairs,badly injuring myself, had a little behind the scenes tour and got blackwells jacket.went back outside to the pitch, was sobering up a bit by then and decided to gett he hell out of there. iam not proud i weed on the pitch or took the jacket but it was a once in a lifetime experience i suppose UTB

Haha,I like where it says we made 35 quid from reclaimed timber..the picture shows the damage of the Luftwaffe's visit to the Lane.

Any pictures of the old John Street intact would be good to see.
