That bloody goal.
I shouldn't give a like, this action broke all Blades hearts, killed off the game.
What a player though.

Birch and Waiters v Blackpool, Oct 10 1964.
Hartle scored in first half for Blades but the Seasiders scored two in the first half and one in the second.
Probably the man called Ball played in the game.

Gordon Banks, doing a J. P. Greaves at Filbert St, Nov1965, V Man Utd.

Good question.
Looking at the photo it would appear to have been taken in daylight rather than artificial light.
Both Blades players, played in both games, WHU players, obviously one known the other I don't know and cannot find any info on WHU players who played in each of their games played '71-72.
The other WHU player is key providing he didn't play in both games, if so it's down to the source of the picture.
Stand up ZLB, can you clarify the conundrum.

I believe it’s the League Cup defeat but will bow to Silent Blade and his knowledge

All the 4 players in the photo played in both matches. Like you, I think it was the league match

Apologies for the reference to JP Greaves and Gordon Banks creeping in.
I erased that yesterday when the photo wouldn't load in a post to Bert.
Creepy things these computers 'specially tut' old personages, at least this one.

Taken from Herdings Flats.
Can see Ashleigh Girls School, top right with sports field, where my uncle, often mentioned, was groundsman.
Leighton Rd centre left.
This is only Half of the "Valley", I believe Pommpey resided the other half.

The mascot with the "wrong" kit must be a relation to BLADESSPEAK ?

T'other end is that.



I lived exactly equidistant between these two skyline landmarks in Hemsworth.

In fact my old house went up for sale last December up on Constable Drive. Looks a fuck site different than it did between 1963 and 1979 when I lived there.

Thanks, you sent me the first one with Joan previously, ta, but haven't seen the second before.
Took a good tan did Pete.
He did have one fault though, as we both know, but he was such a good bloke, it didn't matter at all.

My kind headmaster allowed me time off school to attend both matches

Mine didn’t

 

[Pintor75]

The photo above with the legendary Tony Currie in it.is that against West Ham? and is it the legendary Sir Bobby Moore?

It is indeed

 

[Bert]

Mine didn’t

Bert's school closed for the Santos game but it didn't for the West Ham game... Bert still went though.

Jim Bone of Norwich challenged by John Flynn. September 1972. I was there despite having missed the first 60 mins because the SUSC Dronfield branch had to wait for a replacement coach.

Did we buy Bone from Norwich ?
