I think it’s fair to say that much as we love him, our Trev is the least legendary of those three

"It's an honour to be in a photo with a legend of the game," said both Pele and Eusebio.

It reminds me of Mike Bassett:
Pele, Maradonna and Mark Lawrenson. We ran out of money.

These are the comments attached to the photo:
"English footballer Edward Burgin of Sheffield United F.C., the goalkeeper of the England team, during practice at The Saffrons ground in Eastbourne, UK, 4th May 1954. The team are in training for their upcoming Continental Tour.

May 04, 1954 "

Much too posh for Myrtle Road

My daughter got married last year and held her reception at the Saffrons ground in Eastbourne,..... It was great,.... Just saying.

One thing that hasn't changed, that front wall is still standing, exactly the same. Wonder who built that, does his offspring visit this site?

A photo I've just pinched off the Sheffield History site on FB. Apparently Walter Brayshaw standing 5th from right. The lady posting is his grandaughter and wondered where it was taken. Any ideas Silent Blade ? Is it even us?

Not heard of Walter Brayshaw so I looked up in the Who's who. He was at Denaby United before joining us in 1919. Played 4 league appearances before joining Exeter in 1920. I dont recognise anyone else in the photo, I am afraid.

Rebuilt and re-pointed (eight copings on the old one, six on the new). Just sayin'.

This image was recently found in a loft ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-43782267 ),and apparently depicts fans on the way to our last major Cup Final appearance, a 0-1 defeat to Arsenal in 1936.

Look at the fellers on the coach roofs. Believe most are wearing Tam o'shanters, correct my spelling then I'll write it out 100 times, England played Scotland 4th April 1936, Bobby Barclay played inside right. 1-1 draw Carnsell for England. Anyone Scotland?

Tam O'Shanter is fine. I don't think they are Unitedites either. There are no rattles, rosettes, scarves, giant knives as evidenced by other photographs attributed to the 1936 Cup Final.

They could be Scottish fans as you suggest as they seem to be struck dumb by the horseless carriages and Tarmacced roads.

Or even military. A Scottish Regiment, perhaps?

Looking at the stand behind that could have been Exeter. I'll ask my Dad who is from that part of Devon, he might recognise it.

Looking at the kit the pigs are wearing I'd guess they went off to Wembley, got 2-0 up and fucked it up royally.

Correct, Bert blames Gerry Young.

Can you move it on a few frames, and create a 'Spot the Ball' competition? I'm guessing row Z of the Kop.

Thought Mr Ellis was the hero?
