Thanks for photos, good memories. Bobby Howitt, to my teenage self, very good player, smart , inventive, eye for goal. Photo shows a smiling Tommy Hoyland on right. Other player, partly hidden, looks like Grainger in his Adidas boots, pass on the two pair of legs. Background Bramall Lane shed 'Jubilee Stout'.
Colin Grainger, Thought Derek Hawksworth was no slouch but Colin G. was like lightening, strangely enough both were regular goal scorers but Colin G. was a cut above, in general terms, which shows by his international caps.
B. Barclay, bit before my time, but a three time international so a player of some ability. I knew some one who did see him play, unfortunately I cannot ask them anymore and there'll not be many who can, if any.

......and he got more caps than Hodgy, take it from me he wasn't as good. Seems positioning was a tad iffy.

Wern't a ciggy paper between this feller and Hodgy, but he was a 'suvverner'. Our man in the photo had him taped, just like he did there number five.

We all got the free Admiral catalogue from Big Brown Sports next to Challenge! supermarket on Ecclesall Road. I never understood the comment at the foot of the page about raw materials and substituting without affecting quality.

These are terrific photos, most of which I don’t think I have ever seen before. Are you prepared to reveal your sources? Mason, Hartle, Kemp, Hodgson are the last 4, I think.

Thought it might be a poor photo of him, but I am sure you’re right. Struggling to think of an alternative, though.
