How did the lad with a beard get into that side?

He'd just arrived from Syria and his passport stated he was 10.

The only person I recognise is Geoff Capes. Didn't know he was a Blade though.

I were the same age group but under 11s I played for the throstles,and didn't join the junior blades until under 14s,but don't recognize anybody from that photo even if I played with em in the under 14 junior blades.

Sheffield clubs play in stripes. Change that at your peril. It always ends badly.

I only wish I’d been born a bit earlier as I’d literally have pissed myself.

Bit unfair though to play him in our U11s

Handy when we played Inverness. Always good in the Highland games.

Don’t think so but that was my first shirt. Had number 10 on the back. Bobby Hatton!!

 

[Hartley Hare]

It would be interesting to know what became of those lads.

I wonder if any made it in the game?
