I thought it might be Cross Burgess Street, where the Coles Car Park now is, but having a closer look I'm not sure. If it is, the Yorkshireman's Arms is just off to the right of the photo.

If you remember the shot of German player's disappointed reaction just after Peters scored the 2nd goal in the 1966 World Cup Film Goal! That's him

My dad, brother and me were locked out, and got in when they opened the gates in the second half. We stood right at the back of the stand in the picture. Good job you can’t make out the look on my face (or hear the words I was saying).

How did working down the pit make him grow a foot taller? And you’d think it would be a disadvantage really.

Hats off to your Grand dad. We can't even start to comprehend what they did. My Dad was a surgeon in the RAF going through Africa and Italy. My biggest regret is I never got to talk to him about.

Bert never asked his grandfather either about his frequent visits to Germany.

Proper football fans didn't wait till it was delivered, they stood outside the paper shop waiting for The Star van to deliver it at 6.10 (If you lived in Ecclesfield) and they studied the scores and tables as they walked out of the shop.
