Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

ABC that one!

 

[sitwell]

really not sure about this one. It looks fairly small, so I'd maybe guess at the Classic in Fitzalan Square?

Don't think its the Classic ,saw my first mucky film in there wagging school one day ,it was really tame about amazonians but fuck knows how I got in. It was almost empty and still this perv in a raincoat sat next to me and I didn't have the bottle to move.

Another cinema themed pic. Somebody might guess the year.

Odeon?

Odeon?

No. It's the Sheffield Playhouse. Townhead Street.

It's reassuring to see that the inability to spell players' names correctly is not a new phenomenon, Tunstal indeed

So I’m on holiday in Ireland and wandering down a street in a small town called Ballinamore in County Leitrim, when I noticed a disused shop window covered in old newspapers. All the newspapers were from 1953 and were showing their age, with a distinct shade of yellow, and most of the newspapers showed the Coronation. However one newspaper in particular caught my eye.

It showed the football scores for Ireland and England for Saturday 31st January 1953.

ENGLISH CUP – FOURTH ROUND

Arsenal 6 Bury 2
Aston Villa 0 Brentford 0
Blackpool 1 Huddersfield 0
Bolton 1 Notts County 1
Burnley 2 Sunderland 0
Chelsea 1 West Brom 1
Everton 4 Notts Forest 1
Halifax 1 Stoke 0
Hull 1 Gateshead 2
Manchester City 1 Luton 1
Manchester United 1 Walthamstow 1
Newcastle 1 Rotherham 3
Plymouth 1 Barnsley 0
Preston N E 2 Tottenham 2
Sheffield United 1 Birmingham 1
Shrewsbury 1 Southampton 4

Interesting results for Halifax, Gateshead and Walthamstow! The scorer for United is misspelt and shown as Hagen, rather than Hagan. United lost the replay 3-1 the following Wednesday.

Looking at the records for United for that season, I note that Hagan was sent off during a 7-1 home win over Swansea! Does anyone know why? It seems a bit pointless during a 7-1 win.

United went on to win the Division Two Championship that season and so losing in the Cup didn’t prove costly in the long run.

Have seen a video clipping of the 1-1 home draw. Will try and find it in you tube

Anyone who's still in denial about the degeneration of our town centre into the joke it is now needs to look long and hard at that photo.

Especially when you think, that it's only about 25 years after the end of the war & most of the buildings had had to be repaired or rebuilt.

I know Alan Kilby quite well!

Was he the deaf wrestler? Think he may have been a bouncer at Josephines in the early 1970's.

You always behaved in Josephines especially when Kilby was on the door.

Yes. He has been a bouncer at other nightclubs too. Not seen him for a long time although he is in my Facebook friends list
