England v Scotland at BDTBL in 1902. Ernest Needham was playing in that match. Note the Shoreham Street stand. It was demolished for safety reasons a few years later

Can't have been an easy job being the linesman wearing a kilt in that match!

p.s. (Who's the dastard in the Black Watch plaid??)

 

[I should coco]

Have we ever had any FA Cup finals (or replays) staged at BDTBL?

Shame on you!

If you know your history and all that....

The only ground (apart from the Oval) to have staged cricket test matches, England football internationals and an FA Cup final.

Also home of course to the original 'United' and not the johnny come latelys from Newton Heath.

1912 - Barnsley won the FA Cup.

Where's the photo?

Newsreel with comedy soundtrack

I think they might be rather outrageous, voluminous pantaloons, Vorps. Straight out of your sartorial wardrobe.

Interesting George Utley was Barnsley's centre half. He came to us and was our regular left half. He skippered us in the 1915 FA Cup final

No Way.

That's a kilt, he's even wearing a Tam o'Shanter and one of those daft "Highland" style tweed jackets, like a gillie at a wedding.

(and btw if I ever don the plaid, my trews are strictly drainpipe diameter ;] they do look good with a DJ!)

I think the linesman is Robert Main Christie - from this website http://www.englandfootballonline.com/Seas1900-39/1902-03/M0079Sco1903.html though it makes no mention of Needham playing for England.

He has a very interesting CV http://www.scotsman.com/sport/more-...e-dunblane-s-original-sporting-hero-1-3385615 sorry about all the adverts.

It is unthinkable a man with that 'spine' didn't sport a kilt when officiating a match south of Berwick is it not Essex? if I were Scotch I certainly would.

Photos? Pah!

It certainly shows the need for a Desso pitch.

Great stuff.

Not wishing to be morbid, but I sat watching that lineup of young Barnsley heroes and wondered what became of them in the following 6 years.

Wilf Bartrop was killed four days before the end of World War One:

https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/lifestory/229389

"Wilfred Henry Charles Bartrop died in Warcoing, Belgium in 1918 and was killed in action.

He was proceeding up the line with a gun and a shell burst quite close to him, the splinters hitting him in the thigh and breast. He only said I am hit in the leg, and the next was he was dead."

Poor bastard, just 4 days until the Armistice.

What a fucking waste of our youth.

If the description on this photo is correct, where would this white building have stood?

Was showing this thread to Mum the other day and she remembers the area round the Lane being as it was in the older photos as she was born and brought up on Woodhead Road.
Anyhow. ...she seems to think a lad called Freddie Millward, one of Dad's best mates, lived here ...would guess 1950's...maybe someone on here can verify this (Mums knocking on a bit now so not 100% sure).

Did Tomlinson make his debut and save a pen in front of kop that game?

[Silent Blade]

Wrexham was in the FA Cup, Southend (a week later) was Tomlinson's league debut and he did save a penalty

That match was my Grandad's first trip to BDTBL - As a neutral. But it showed him where to go for more football related entertainment in future

[Canterbury Blade]

Sometimes it's just good to sit in on a Sunday night (especially at Christmas time) with a decent red and ponder on the memories of the place where you did your growing up..

Too many things have gone so long live Bramall Lane.. My constant in my beautiful city..

Who ever heard of a foreign guy named Steve eh?

Steve (no I don't think it was his real name) was Hungarian and was drafted into the Hungarian military which fought on Germany's side in WW2.
