Your scoreboards no good
Your stands made of tin

10,000 Wednesdayites dead on... Etc.

Explains the ' EJO Hemsley ' moniker he autographed my racecard with at Owlerton circa 1973.

Bumped in to him in the Betting Ring at York Races a couple of years ago , genuinely nice bloke.

Anyone spending half an hour talking football and cricket in Ted’s company would agree with that, he’s a top man..

George Best superstar carries a handbag and wears a bra. Remember that been belted out on the Kopp.

And then at Old Trafford he set off on that run...

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

We did, but it wasn't true.

It was from where I stood behind the goal every week...

Blades 2 (Woodward, Mallender pen) Wendy 2. September 10th 1968

I seem to remember that was the match where the infamous incident of acid being thrown at the Wendies who had the audacity to go onto the Kop.

If only the aforementioned E.J.O. Hemsley had still been on the pitch .......

And you don't have to ask who scored the winner.

Nor were we the best team the world has ever seen.

Thats a matter of opinion.

Didn't he get every flipping where ?

Something like that!

Yes and the pennies (240 to the pound in them days) that had been sharpened on the edge were thrown.

I didn’t make it to Wembley until the semi-final against you-know-who.

Keeping with the bad taste, I used to love to the Harry Roberts song. Wouldn't like to sing it now though.

Nice photo showing what a good venue Wembley was especially the pitch don't think there was one to touch it at this time, date 23 Oct 1963.
Few of the players, LtoR England, no.10 George Eastham, Bobby Smith, Jimmy Greaves and with Morris Norman at no. 5, not shown, indicating what a good side Spurs were at that time. Far right positionally should be Charlton. Obviously not, Terry Paine played no.7, scoring England's first goal, wonder if they switched wings for a while.
R of the W, Yashin on floor and a young Dennis Law far R., cannot recognise any more but Puskas and Di Stefano played.

Bobby Charlton played in left wing before switching to central midfield before the 1966 WC

True SB, and what a waste of space he was there. If you believe the England player on the right, of the photo, to be Charlton, I'll go with that.
I don't think it is, so offered an alternative based on hair colour and body shape and who would or should be in that position during an attacking move.

I think I've still got my Test Match game somewhere. The cricket ball was a heavy ball bearing and the fielders would catch it but then topple forward because of the force and momentum of the shot

I had that game also .... flipping the steel ball down the chute and the piece of string behind the bat to give the ball a whack !! Great game.

Politics getting involved into a sport/event it shouldn't. Remember it was like WW3 stirred by the media. Nice photos.

Great picture, hope the lads have copies nice to look back on.
Fancy spokes on the larger bike. The smaller bike believe is a 'Chipper', got one in the loft, hoping to make a killing on it one day , smaller version of the chopper.

I use to have the old “Owzthat” hexagon shaped cricket dice. Must have been the first mobile game ever. It came everywhere with us, hours of fun for such a basic game of cricket . No charging required.

We actually modified the hexagon metal dice version by shaving the end of 2 school pencils and making numbers 1-6 on them - first pencil was the batsman’s score : 1 = 1 run etc, the 5 was an appeal . Roll the second pencil for decision. 1 = bowled, 2 = caught, 3= run out, 4 = lbw , 5 = no ball, 6 = not out. Hours of fun during lessons !!
