Probably bounced in off his arse.

 

[penthouseblade]

Is that verses Coventry City? FA Cup penalty shoot out victory??

As amusing as that is BB, I've realised I don't want to talk about him; sorry to have brought it up!!

I think we should bring the balloons back

Ten years since this match. An injustice. Five years since Ched. An injustice. If we are going to have a party at MK Dons then you need balloons at a party.

Oops, they spelt "Hemsley" wrong.

Without a doubt, the greatest day of my childhood!

Without a doubt, the greatest day of my childhood!

Me too!

Where were you stood, Silent?
I was in the Bramall Lane End Lower (standing then of course) right on the railings with my Dad. Always remembering him giving me the nod to run on the pitch at the end. Happy days.

BLUT A85. In the summer my dad then bought us season ticket for me and him at same place until 1977

My sister (her first time) came with us as did my mum (whose 6 brothers supported Wendy!)

He wasn't hard enough to live in Woodhouse

That's the perfect shot to show why I dislike Old Trafford. An immense auditorium but one you rarely get to appreciate as the roof lines are so low that it's like having blinkers on. I find it oppressive and claustrophobic - no sense of space or grandeur.

If you go to St James you get the opposite - high, lightweight, transparent roofs that give you an awareness of where you are and of the thousands of people around you.

That's one of the saddest pictures I've ever seen.

Excellent photo, you took a camera to the match did you?! Obviously smart phones weren't invented back then, if you got a picture message on your mobile it was the bollocks!!

One of the stands at Highbury was like that - post box view. It was awful. It always used to make me very appreciative of what we have at BDTBL - it's really a fucking great ground. Apart from the catering of course

Not me I was down the front, I found it on the web somewhere years ago HomeofFootball or summat had similar but were watermarked.

This is a great thread and brings back so many memories since 1946 both on the Blades, first Lane visit and the great City.
I have kept a lot of the images which will go into my photo files known as Old Sheffield pictures and Old Blades pictures.
Looking at the city today and thinking about all the bomb sites even when I started work in 1957 there seemed to be a bomb site on most street corners, no comparison.
I have programmes going back years in my box marked my life as a Blade which my eldest daughter has in her loft.
Such happy memories over many years.
