My "local" when I lived at Ranmoor and Walkley in the early 90s - had lots of friends in Walkley/Crosspool/Crookes so it was a central meeting point and a bloody good pub.

Think it is 1930-31 season
Back row; Sampy, Thorpe, Carrigan, Kendall, Hooper, Green
Front row; Gibson, Oxley, Dunne, Gillespie and Tunstall

Jimmy Dunne scored 41 league goals that season

Sid Gibson was a talented player whose career ended by injuries. He died at the age of 39 in 1938.

Gibson had been pivotal in avoiding relegation the season before. We went to Old Trafford for the last game needing to win to stay up. We won 5-1, mainly thanks to a superb performance from Gibson, described as "the game of his life" in contemporary reports.

When we beat Watford in 1971 to clinch promotion there were Unitedites jumping in the fountain.
Bert resisted the temptation.
