Mick jones

[TJ blade]

My favourite player when my dad started taking me way back in the 60s, broke my heart when that bastard Dick Wragg sold him to Leeds

 

[Dnblade]

Mick was my favourite at the time along with Birchenall,and gutted that he left for Leeds.
Always remember the M.I.C.K chant as a kid,can't remember if we had one for AB.

Must still live in the village seem him quite often.

Yes he does! Chatted with him in Tesco a few times always has a minute or two to spare .Must have shrunk as he is not as big as I thought he was.

Mick lived/lives on Broom Grove.

I lived on St James Ave

Lee Morris and Mark his brother were good friends of mine growing up (see story below!) & I got to Colin and Mrs M well.

Colin Morris burnt my toast

DeadBat relives his memory of meeting a footballing hero...and his mate's dad.

Glenn Cockerill lived next door to them. West Bank Drive.

Ian Bryson lived in North Anston, as did Briam Deane for a while, on Penny Piece Lane.

All in the days when footballers couldn't afford the Hope Valley , let alone Wilmslow !

Memories !
My first girlfriend Anne Johnson lived at 7 St James Ave.
I lived in the village from '73 till '76 when I went to Brum Uni.
I never spent much time there afterwards coz all my High Storrs mates were in Sheffield and I used to stay at their parents houses coz it was too much hassle to bus out to Anston.
But as a 15-18 year old I made extra £ from the fruit machine in the Trooper (you could see into it and count the coins stacked up so you knew when it was due to pay out).
Added to my "tray-lad" wages from the Lane , I could afford naughty nights out

I was also at that match, and remember Mick’s headed goal at the Kop. I was on the BL lower tier and as I jumped up to celebrate my head hit the underside of this Man U fans chin and he bit his tongue, there was blood everywhere. I’m reight hard me.

I wasnt doubting you. Were you as angry that day as you seem in that reply?

I was there, saw lots of it but being twelve left it to the bigger boys.

Michael Jones, Michael Jones is it true what they all say you won’t come back, oh no, oh no …….. ( to the tune of ‘Excerpt from a Teenage Opera’ if I remember correctly).

That's right. A really sad song when you listen to the lyrics.
