Blimy Bert must have been good at cricket lobbing a bog roll from the kop to Bramall lane goal to hit West,s head.
Because both goals were at that end lol.

In todays money that's an assist, Bert.

The assist should go to Bert s manservant who threw it at the target given to him.

Bert was down that side, under the stand.
Bit hectic to say the least.

'the order to throw had to be give first and the "responcibility goes with the orderer not the orderee" quote from "Geaves Handbook for Flunkies" second edition.

Back to the days of water power there, DB. The great hole that appeared in the Decathlon car park last year was probably caused by the original culvert of the old river Porter.
Plenty of info on the Sheffield History web site about this, some reckon there were 2 bridges and the remains can be still seen if you scramble about in the bushes near the old Staples.

They are part of a series of culverts and storm drains under the city centre for the Sheaf and Porter rivers, culminating in the Sheffield Megatron under the railway station.

Thing of beauty, Eh!!!.
I've had the photo in a Blades file for quite some time and believe they were made and used for an anniversary celebration but which one I'm not sure, possibly 125 years.
Many ex-players paraded from corner of JSS/Kop to players entrance area and each wore one and presumably kept them with the blessing of the club. Sure you'll remember the match, you have a good memory for games and there detail, demonstrated many times on here.
Can't be all that many about, wunt you love one, I know I would.
Amp't been to a game wearing a scarf since about1954/55 but would again if I had one of these.
