Blades v Bury in September 1902. Herbert Chapman was playing for us in that match. The Shoreham Street Stand was demolished a few years later due to safety reasons

Probably from the roof behind where the Park Gardeners was/is. If it's still open that is.

Not sure when that was taken but it's after the Cricket was demolished.

Looks like the future is anything but certain for what remains of Sheffield United the cricket club: http://yspl.pitchero.com/news/sheffield--phoenix-united-20077/

Don't know what's happened but looks like it's going pear shaped

It's reassuring to see that the inability to spell players' names correctly is not a new phenomenon, Tunstal indeed

I know I have said this before but this is a brilliant thread bringing back so many memories of the Blades and Sheffield as it used to be after the war.
Thanks to everyone who has and is contributing.

I don't remember Budgy being a Republican sympathiser or Gerry Adams visiting the Lane. Was it part of the Billy Graham thing?

I'm guessing ,this was Budgies 500th league game,that or these 2 are the blokes who repaired the window he broke climbing out of Arthur Coxs office

Unlikely seeing as Billy Graham was a Baptist/ Protestant Evangelist.


It's two shoplifters he met in the bottom of Dixon Lane at 9am on Matchday.

I think this was an award made by Wolves fans, from when he was with them. They presented it on the pitch when we played Wolves. Silent Blade will tell you dates, results, scorers, quality of the pies, weather and inside leg measurement of the Wolves left-back.

Was it the 2-2 draw in January 1985? If so, I was there. Tommy Docherty was Wolves manager. The only other thing I remember about the match was John Pender's own goal at the Kop End. Think Tim Flowers was playing
