It was like that unitl they built the new John Street stand ( i think).
My seat on the Kop moved from out on the touch line to the penalty box line without actually moving

Memories now just rubble. That sticky floor, dubious beer, Olga ruling with a rod of iron and some great music (as well as some reight shite)

 

[Trigger Blade]

I think its Roy Hill.

You'd expect a captain of industry like Bert would have worked that out

As the TV advert used to go "See you down at Wigfalls".

Please pass me the name of your optician ☺

The photo was in (or on the front of) the programme for the following home match. We could remember where we were standing and what we were wearing. I might struggle to recall those details if I was seeing the photo for the first time now!

Having said that, I do recall clearly the detail about the ball getting tangled up in the net...

Blades 0 Liverpool 0 in January 1976

TC's final season. What a complete waste of talent by the club. We'd no idea just how low things were about to become for the club.

For those who wish to criticise Dave Bassett they should just reflect on his achievement in May 1990 of getting us back into the top flight. In January 1976 we were months away from starting 14 years of lower league football.

A couple more interesting photos from a 1971 programme vs watford with a few clips from the game against cardiff a few days earlier, both of which I saw as a kid. Was a terrific era and we were promoted and faced Arsenal away in the first match of the next season and we won 1-0 and were top of the old first division (now premiership) for several weeks until that fateful match at old trafford and that bloody george best goal they show on TV all too often.

Can anyone of a certain age remember the breweries? Did it just smell of malt and yeast at matches? That would have been good!

I live at Anchor Point and wondered why they'd given a place in Sheffield a maritime related name! I only found out about Anchor brewery after researching it. Britannia brewery was where the petrol station was I believe. There's an old article online. Britannia brewery was a partnership but the partnership dissolved and one of the partners set up Anchor. In 1891 the owner of Anchor went "mad" (I guess it would be severe depression these days - the article said he was suffering from "mania"). He walked from his home in Dore to the brewery and the authorities were trying to get him to a lunatic asylum. He went to the house of his clerk/cashier on Shoreham Street and after a struggle killed himself by slitting his own throat.

I found it interesting anyway hope I've not bored you all!

United had only been around 2 years it was bit soon to be getting depressed about them (this was over 100 years ago I think it's ok to make a little joke about it hope no one takes offence!)

That's right. Roy. Nowadays he does some kind of 'View from...' on a forum.

That logo built into the wall is set into the grounds in the garden of Anchor Point now. Christ knows where that had been in the meantime. Unless it's a new reproduction I've no idea tbh.
