Photo of TC was taken when England played at Italy in 1973 and we can see that the red and white were painted over England's yellow shirt

Not a photograph but a question.

Did Alan Woodward & Johan Cruyff ever play against each in the NASL?

Jim Brown roomed with Cruyff when Diplomats played away games. Ken Furphy was the manager.

Chesterfield away 1949?

Looks like October 1949 as it was Colin Collindridge's last season with us. Can see him near the middle. Dont recognise the Blade on the right. Gordon Williams was our number 9 in that match. Played only 5 times for us. Might be him?

Thanks, find this is so interesting!
I can still picture their line up on stage. Remember Mike died young. Happy days. Also happy memories of first division football at the Lane in the early 70s when we had skilful players ….the days of Hockey,Currie, Dearden etc etc.
Great memories of both football and music!

mike patto was a fantastic rock vocalist had some great sunday nights in the swan when they came up steeples was a genius finding all these london bands and was rewarded with sold out concert rooms every sunday in that era just a pity the beer was s**t (sam smiths) lol

The late Herbie Flowers contributed the bass, also played on David Essex's Rock On and was in Blue Mink, the last T. Rex lineup and Sky.

In the same piece about playing the drums on Walk On The Wild Side, I think John Halsey mentioned the bass part as well, though I don’t recall if he mentioned Herbie Flowers. The context was that there are two separate bass lines on the track, one electric, one double bass, as suggested by whoever the bass player was, which he did in order to get double payment. No idea if that’s true, but I’d like to think so

Myrtle Rd/Asline Rd/Bramall Lane, probably late 1970s. On the right hand side, you can see the old Wesleyan Chapel that stood on Bramall Lane.

On matchdays, my dad had no problem parking his car at Asline Road until either late 1970s or early 1980s

Castle type thingy on Lady's Bridge built for the visit of Edward VII, when he, I believe, opened Sheffield University early 1900's.
