"Robust" that's a fair word in my experience



Mick, sent off? Never. Don't believe it.

(Did he do a charity collection at half time?)

Probably..... Went round the dressing collecting, while everyone else as on the pitch..allegedly.

Heard a story that he once scored 4 goals for Sheffield Deaf at Grimsby. After the game in the changing room hut he was being a show off talking about the goals he had scored which made his team mates get fed up so they grabbed him stark naked and threw him out of the hut. There were ladies outside laughing at him as he kept trying to get back into the hut while using his hand to cover his manhood!

I am probably on that under the far stanchion with my Dad on the ledge on a wooden box my grandad made for me ,depending on the year ,more likely stood acting hard with the big boys in the middle.

In the Hillsborough one, is that an early attempt to write their Chairmans name in the stand?

Anyone my age or over is likely to keep a box of candles in the kitchen drawer in case there's a power cut.

As a child out in the sticks, powercuts were a regular thing.

1970s blackouts due to industrial unrest. I remember once sitting down to watch Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em and the fuckers cut the power. Bastards.

I notice this is taken after the South Stand was built, so more than likely one of those heads in the top left corner is mine.

WTF was she doing with him? He was punching well above his weight. He must have been hung like a horse and able to lick his own eyebrows.

Strange one Michael Crawford. Apart from Some Mothers, he was not really famous here and was arguably better known over the pond, especially on Broadway. He won several prestigious awards for his efforts there (Tony's, Olivier's etc).

It's now just over 12 months since the thread 'Old Photos for no Reason Whatsoever' was born.

Bert, would you like to turn to Bert and say 'Well done. Long may it continue'.

Bert is out at the moment, at his Gentleman's Club. He won't be back until late.
He did say something the other day though about if you want to start a long thread you need to know your audience.

What a sight.

You young 'un's unfortunately have no idea why the hairs stand on end looking at that.

Agreed, and it’s not even that full.

 

[Bert]

Agreed, and it’s not even that full.

The night we played Hull in 1971 there must have been upwards of 20,000 in there. Bert's hearing has only recently recovered.

If I’m right Woody, and the car on the right hand side of the road is a Jowett Javelin, it’s anywhere from 1947

Not with them 'H' type telly ariels, they are relatively "new" 1956/60

You may be right, but the car might not be new...

Money well spent in my opinion, I would have been brought up in a two-up two-down slum with an outside shithouse or died young of TB or another ailment otherwise.

"Two-up two-down" bloody luxury, you don't know what tough is, one-up one-down in't bloody Kelvin when I was born. Back to back with another family, freezing stone steps leading upstairs, two families sharing one outside bog, but were we happy??
were we fuck, it was Fukin pergitory.

I lived in a back to back house, remember the tin bath and plugging the iron into the light fittings

And the crimbo lights - them were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end until we tied a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree.

Just coming out of the Bramall Lane shed onto the cricket side. No tracky bottoms for Aflie, what a player, but he must have thought all his Sundays had come as one when he got to play with the chap on the left, through balls and assists on a tanner.
