A nice little read

1971 at The Lane 2-2, long throws from Chivers, flicked on by Gilzean denied us victory.

They scored late in both halves...over 41,000..Typical Martin Peters ghosting in at the far post at the Lane End,then Gilzean late equaliser..Dearden and Scullion for United wasn't it.

I've been speaking with my mum today who lived behind it on Wybourn house road and she said one of her primary school friends got killed on the slag heap when she was 11,she's now 81,a young lad called Brian fiddler,got buried when there was some sort of landslide on it,tragic story.

I remember Gilzeans equaliser as if it was yesterday for some reason.

Mind you, if he'd scored it yesterday I'd be struggling.....

I used to box at that youth club under flats near the Target boozer.
Henry Hall was the trainer

The hideaway? It had everything going on there,football,boxing,gymnastics and I can even remember a dance crew practicing there,an hip hop crew who's name as slipped my mind at the moment..so I obviously can't remember them before you all start getting on at me,

It was a sunny day, absolutely packed on the Kop.

Went before all that. George McCabe, ex FIFA referee was the head honcho there when I went.

Did George mcabe have anything to do with united in the late 70s early 80s? His name rings a bell with me somehow.

Yeah remember it being rammed,we were at the front of Kop just to right of the goal as you look out to the pitch.

Know what you mean ST...trouble is I'm struggling allround...Some games are just a blur

Tragic story that Corky,sorry to hear that mate.

 

[corkysbeard]

The very same Corky.

Was he a scout? When I played for the junior blades early 80s,Danny begara use to come and take a few training sessions with us every now and then and am sure George mcabe use to come and watch us train,might be wrong.

Liaison Officer I think

Am sure he use to call for a pint in railway in early 90s after home games aswell.

Nice one SB,I'd forgotten it was on Walthy's video...cracking goal by Scullion wasn't it..Gilzean's goal was a sickener late on...Robbed,but loved those times.

Old git!

I remember Gilzeans equaliser as if it was yesterday for some reason.

My memory of it, apart from me Dad wondering where i`d learnt so many swear words... were that it was similar to the Uwe Seeler, back header and both that and Gilzean`s looked 50 yard offside. I could be wrong but that`s how i imagine it !

A younger version of Bert was behind that goal when Woody scored at Leicester. 1971 was the best year to be a Unitedite in Bert's lifetime.
