Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Grappler]

This is one thread I check in on daily. The older I get, the more nostalgic I get. Great pictures of Sheffield United, but equally great pictures of Sheffield.

The good old days when there were 22 teams in Div 1, as I like to think of it and of those, only 10 are there this season.

Of the top ten, five have gone on to be regular fixtures in the top six. The other five are in the championship.
When the clubs, including us, voted for the Premier League most of them signed their own death warrants.

Silent Blade was that when the skys opened up just after the game was over I was walking down Shoreham st towards Pond street got F-ing drenched

It rained for most of the match but dont remember what it was like after the match. That morning I had just come back from a long journey back from a week's holiday in Ayr.

There was a thunderstorm in the 2nd half of our home game against Southampton two weeks earlier

Description says: F.A. Cup Semi-Final, Nottingham, England, 18th March 1899, Sheffield United 2 v Liverpool 2, The Liverpool players leave the field at the half-time interval.

I'm surprised at the clarity of the image. Looks like Needham at the back there (before my time!)

 

[Robby Blade]

That's Graeme Crawford - I recognise him out of my 1971/72 Soccer Stars Album!

I don't remember him ever playing though!

UTB

I remember him, he was a cracker of a player.

Looks like one of the Liverpool players is wearing a snake belt to hold his shorts up,have to say it's a cracking photo

UTB

Played in the 1-0 home win against Norwich in Sept 1969 and the 5-1 win at Pompey in Sept 1970. He was signed from East Stirling by Arthur Rowley in the 1968-69 season. When Hodgy was struggling for form in the middle of the 1970-71 season, Harris decided to sign John Hope from Newcastle as it seemed he didnt have much faith in Crawford

I've plenty of memories of going in to the Crazy Daisy. Cannot recall ever coming out.

Thank you so much Sir

And the other one.

The photo of them walking off, from memory, shows Eddie unmarked looking very angry while Boyer was bleeding looking a bit dazed with a torn collar. His hair was a bit of a mess too I think.

I mentioned this to Eddie yesterday, he remembered the incident as "He came at me like a madman with his arms flailing all over the place, I don't know what I did to upset him, but I saw my opportunity and clipped him on his chin, he went out like he'd had a powercut" All said with a wry smile.

Tommy Lawler (was my immediate thought)

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Who are we playing here? Hull City?

 

[bornablade]

Tommy Lawler (was my immediate thought)

This definitely needs Silent.

 

[Woodwaaard]

This definitely needs Silent.

I'm confused. It's easy at my age..

It's Chris Lawler. I got confused with Tommy Lawrence... but he was a goalkeeper!

Woodwaaard is correct
