Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

Is that Bobby Campbell RIP in the bottom pic?

Yes

 

[Silent Blade]

Not sure, looks a bit like Chico Hamilton. Spurs players Perryman and possibly John Pratt or Peter Taylor.

Top pic is Chico Hamilton with Perryman tackling him. Keith Osgood (who scored two penalties in that match) is on the left and Neil McNab in distance. Bobby Campbell in far right.

Bottom pic is Jimmy Holmes, Keith Osgood and Bobby Campbell

They had a good side at the time SB , good mix of experience & up and coming players Kenny Sansom , Vince Hilaire , et al , under Mr Venables in his early days of management

That's right. The company that took this photo, Neville Chadwick Photography, is still in business and I go past their office in Leicester on the way to work. They also did a lot of SUFC team photos and individual player portraits in the 1970s. http://www.chadwicksportingarchive.co.uk/sheffield-united/4590018240

Just came up in conversation with Mrs , one of my last visits in before it shut was a Sunday night I was out with the brother in law whose a pig fan & his wife , I looked over a the bottom bar and Eric Cantona & his agent were stood there . It was the weekend all the games were off with the weather and there'd been a 5/6 a side tournament at the arena for all the local clubs & Cantona had played for the S6 brigade while there on trial . I pointed him out to the brother in law & he went a got an autograph for the nephew . Shortly after he bobbed off to Leeds in a huff & the rest they say is history ... unlucky tricky trev .. as Jim Bowen said on Bullseye .. here's what you cudda won

When you see that photo angle of the Kop it's seems years ago .. feeling old now lol .. I always remember the Norwich match ( think it was them ? ) when they had took the roof off in readiness for redevelopment .. that was bloody weird .. thankfully it was a hot sunny day as I recall ???

 

[Silent Blade]

I wasnt at the match but it was the start of my love affair with the Blades after watching the highlights on YTV in the next day and started reading Scorcher, Shoot! etc instead of Marvel comics
