Socks look the same to me. Here are the 1971/72 and 1972/73 squad photos
Well said. As it's the season of good will, I would even include those whose posts don't provide pleasure, entertainment or knowledge.
Funny, they don't look as dirty as I remember on that video. I think it was the complete meltdown in response to the decisions that I recalled. I have just looked at a couple of other clips which do look worse. Several oldies on here will remember the German number 8, Haller, whose ability to dive and roll around injured was second to none; annoyingly, he was a good player. His reactions were controlled, the Uruguayans just lost the plot.
That's magnificent, shocking and sad all at the same time.There's an even more poignant photograph taken at Bramall Lane, that was part of the recruitment, conscription campaign. I presume it's a view of the Kop. Again you look at it, realise most would probably form the Sheffield Battalion, and that most wouldn't return.
Both are excellent and thought-provoking pictures. I suppose if we are trading numbers, a higher proportion of the people on the WW1 photo would have been killed. Very sad ( sorry, that sounds like Trump).There's an even more poignant photograph taken at Bramall Lane, that was part of the recruitment, conscription campaign. I presume it's a view of the Kop.

In honour of tonight's match, here's Brizzle Citeh legend Kevin Mabbutt in his prime with a couple of hangers on:
Imagine asking a young Premiership player to drive around in something like that these days!In honour of tonight's match, here's Brizzle Citeh legend Kevin Mabbutt in his prime with a couple of hangers on:
Not quite sure what you are trying to say here, is it the socks or the strips they wore both of during the '72-'73 season. My information says Man. City, for the '72-'73 season, wore sky blue shirts, white shorts and royal blue socks, red turn overs with one white hoop. Looking at Silent's post showing photos of the '72-'73 game this confirms that fact, unfortunately within those photos is the one in question and Doyle is wearing sky blue socks maroon turn overs two white hoops. Did they change their socks mid game or at half time? As I said before no.11 Reece, goalkeeper John B. Hope.
Thank you for the squad photos of Man City. They remind me of some truly good footballers who played, at times, wonderful football but if the couldn't get the better of a side they'd kick them till they did. Any how regarding 34039, no. 11 and goalkeeper in dispute. The Man. City '72-'73 set of photos, from which 34039 is one, make to "save as picture" and 34039 will come up labelled as '71-'72 the others in the batch labelled as '72'-'73, seems the evidence was in the evidence.Socks look the same to me.

Looking at the photos again I hadnt realised that Lee and Bell were wearing different socks in the photos of their goal. Sorry about that.
When Doncaster Deaf College formed their own football club, everything was free (no membership or pitch hire fees) for the players so the best Sheffield Deaf players went to join them. I last played for them in 1987 and went back to be a Lane regular even though I played in a few 5 a side tournaments after that. The SDFC folded about 15 years ago. The cricket club folded too, a few years after I stopped playing regularly in 1997
Much obliged for the photo with Cyril on, my word he looks young there to what I remember him. If memory serves, he played at the old Wembley possibly for England Deaf team probably you could enlighten me on that. I also knew a Roy, Whitehead sounds right, talking '86 to 2000 footballing days gone but by all accounts he was an excellent Table Tennis player, still regularly playing competitively when I knew him. One memory of Roy was, like this time of year, when we went for a drink Roy was always the smartest dressed which drew derision from the younger end, all good humoured.
He played for GB in the 1965 Deaflympics at Washington. GB lost to Yugoslavia in the final. Dont know if he played more games for GB after that. I would be surprised if GB deaf ever played in a match at old Wembley but I will ask a friend of mine who knows a lot of GB Deaf football history. Cyril passed away about 12 years ago.
Essoldo Lane top, spent many a night (mid sixties) snogging on the back row, too young for pubs.
In the 50,s my dad bought a Fukin Luger from darn' Cliff!!
Before becoming a pub
Thank you for the info on Cyril and Roy I find it most interesting, had not realised what illustrious company I had been in, what an achievement, greater than playing for England. Nothing like that came from either of them and the Wembley incident was playing for GB, my brain and passage of time.
Did Sheffield Deaf have a team in the Friendlies League in the 70s? I remember playing a few games against a team who I think had that name, and who were, shall we say, a little robust at times. Partly my fault, I realised, as I did not take into account the full situation at first - when a big lad is looming in on you about to shoot and the referee blows for offside, it is not a good idea to nonchalantly bend down to pick the ball up for the free-kick without taking to account that said lad is unaware that a whistle has blown. I have a painful memory of me and the ball landing in the back of the net. My team-mates thought it was hilarious. A goalie's lot is not a happy lot.
Yes, played in the Friendlies League from 1967 (I think) to 1984. I started playing for them after I left school in 1979. Who did you play for?
I played in the early 70s for Leopold Villa, which was based around people working in the education offices on Leopold Street; I knew one of the lads who played for them, and enjoyed several years of sloping bogs, howling gales and cold water showers. Loved keeping goal in the mud. Happy days.
