Ann Packer's son

And Robbie Brightwell being the dad.

Certainly got the genes.

This is a long shot, but is that you raul bottom left corner in the dark top?

Wish you'd have been that inacurrate on Sunday...

 

[vorpal blade]

its not as if Billy Gillespie changed much, certainly not his hair style.

I'll take that as a no, then.

Bob Socks , you and Moose Mulligan were in the Lane Lower tier that night!

...the 4-1 home defeat against Wolves...

That's the game in the photo then. You can tell from the old Wolves badge.

 

[vorpal blade]

this link is a little piece from Donegal TV (its sleepy - Good Fellas, it isn't) but it should run on seamlessly into the 1925 cup final and then that Bury match from 1902.

An early Blades tracksuit modelled by the Irishman himself....



any offers for which ground that is?? (Did the Grinders Stand on Bramall Lane curve round originally??)

And the Wolves player is Steve Daley aka "biggest waste of money in football history". Moved to Man City in 1979 for a fee of £1.45M

Agreed, I reckon they extended the roof of that awkward little corner part of the John Street Stand in the meantime. I like the Wagner bumbling away in the background for a bit of gravitas.

I don't think the 1925 FA Cup Final was linked above, here it is

there is a lot of this stuff on youtube® - I like how relaxed Gillespie is before this Cup match at QPR the best players earn that right.

Bet he drew up the traffic light scheme on Penistone Rd for us.

Picasso was well known for drawing his beautiful (but about to be ex) lovers and making them all look a bit like Steve Bruce.



I can't think of another football connection, he liked bull fighting.

Those wooden seats were far better than the present plastic ones.

They held and conducted the heat better so they did a better job of keeping your arse warm in the winter as I recall.

They were flat at the back as well so that the seat in front didn't dig into the taller person's knees.
Bert had to have three kneecap replacements after they changed the seats

Just to see that badge and club name on here makes me feel really sick, infact, I feel dirty and used!!!!

Martin Kuhl and Andy Barnsley. Man City 2 Blades 3 in Oct 1987

Trusson left us in 1983-84 season

Bloody Hell. I remember that. More for the fact it took me nearly an hour to find the car after the match. Peppermint green Mk II Escort, stood out like a sore thumb, except in Manchester.

I always liked the gag about the bloke watching a vote taking place in the House of Commons.

The cry goes up: "the Ayes to the right, the Noes to the left."

"Blimey," he says, "sounds like a painting by Picasso."

They were flat at the back as well

The wooden seats were curved at the back, however, they didn't "lean" back like the current plastic ones do

Woodwaaard also preferred the wooden seats
