Anybody else jumped the football special train before it got to Boothferry station.

I did, after an educated guess through the process of elimination, give you a name some time ago. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name but believe he was a stopgap forward who only played 2 or3 league games It's on here somewhere, sorry at the moment don't have time to look but will try and get back to it.

Health and Safety stopped all that. Mind you there's a bob or two on those steps, if they gave way Bill wouldn't be too pleased.

Yes and I seem to think, despite his low number of games goal ratio was reasonable.

I had a girlfriend whose father refereed a Spurs game after they did the double. She gave me a program signed by the full team. When I came to look for it, some years later, of course my parents had chucked it out.

Tell Bert thanks a lot for making my day. They did the same with my train set as well.

Kevan recently had "The Florentine" or whatever it is called, at Fulwood, actually a few years ago now.

When he tried to reopen "The Limit", in the old nightclub above "Berlins", Arundel Gate, he sent me and the Mrs free membership cards

That building 'The Florentine' on Fulwood Road in the 1940's was owned by the National Coal Board.

My mum (now aged 91 and still listens to the Blades matches on Radio Sheffield) was a 16 year old working for the NCB in those offices. From those offices on February 22nd 1944 she saw a plane come down and it ended up crash landing in Endcliffe Park.

On Friday there will be a fly past over Endcliffe Park commemorating the 75th anniversary of the crash landing of the Mi Amigo.

Thank you, for some reason I hadn't even filed it with all the other Blades photos I collect as I go along. Wrong about the goals. I believe it came down to a couple and to me he seemed the most likely so there may still be a twist in the tale. Thanks again

I lived close to the cutlers as a lad and played for them when they were first formed, Ian was a blade, big blade and Andrew was indeed a Wendy but the oldest brother was called john, a blade but didn't go very often, my younger brother was at herdings and then gleadless valley in the same class as Ian, spent many,many a happy hour in the cutlers from around being a 16 year old , landlord Joe was Polish and was married to Pru, a fierce landlady who you didnt mess with, my mum worked around the corner at the old folks home "casterkayne". as a cleaner

Treading on the ball usually put paid to things.

Kneeling on the goal (or goalkeeper) was also quite effective!

When I was a butchers boy way back, the woman who lived there was for want of a better word, a cougar. Middle age sexy as fuck and very friendly. Having to do a delivery to Bishops House filled me with fear and excitement. Should she have offered her favours I'd have probably run a mile, but she was top of my wank list for a long long time.
