What a fantastic old stand that was. Bert has stood on the Shelf and sat in that stand many years ago.

Those were the days. None of this Freeman nonsense - when the full-back crossed the half-way line, there was unease in the crowd, fearing there would be no cover. I remember one of his goals - a long-range shot towards the Kop in a 3-3 draw, with Swansea, which a defender deflected in. Cec came over the half-way line, and we let 3 in at home! Can anyone remember his other goal for me? He was an outstanding professional, if not the most naturally gifted.

Cec Coldwell one club player red and white through and through.
One of the worst matches ever when he was caretaker manager at Sunderland team got hammered and so did we inside and outside the ground

A horse is a horse of course of course...
Loved Mr Ed! And anyone marginally resembling a horse back then always got nicknamed Mr Ed.

The inspiration for 'Man and Superman' is finally revealed

It's Greaves. Silent Blade will fill in details of the United player.

 

[Harrisblade]

It's Greaves. Silent Blade will fill in details of the United player.

With respect to post #3256, it's Greavsie and Bernard Shaw, Blades full-back of that era and one-time (possibly literally) England U-23 player

 

[Sean Thornton]

No, it's me and Greavsie......

Clue!

 

[Silent Blade]

As georgebernardshaw said above, it is Bernard Shaw, our scorer from a penalty

I did think it was him but he looked too tall in the photo.

That's because the leg you can see planted on the ground isn't his
Shaw looks taller 'cos he's in mid-jump

On a brighter note, I once asked my Gran what it was like in the blitz - she told me that the loudest explosion she heard was when an anti-aircraft battery near the Botanical Gardens accidentally shot down a nearby barrage balloon.
