Gerry "the trap" Young

I was talking to a bloke yesterday who knows Gerry. Still lives in Sheffield, coming up to 82 and does a bit of trophy engraving to keep him occupied.

For years I always thought he was a defender for most of his career and was surprised to find that he did play for England as a forward!

He used to have a sports shop on Middlewood Road which he ran in partnership with John Quinn
A firm I worked for sponsored the John Quinn Allstars (I think they were called) who used to play charity matches in the area.
I have spoken with both of them and they were gentlemen always, although I never brought up the bad trap for the Temple goal in the 1966 cup final

Goalkeepers wore the same kit as outfield players in those day,its hard to work out which one of these two is Fatty.

Where’s that Bert? I remember Walshes when they were next to the hole in the road ( which I think became Rackhams, then House of Fraser).

Probably in the same location prior to A. Hitler remodelling it.

Yes. Definitely High Street. I believe the windows you can see at the top of the building was for staff accommodation. They also had staff accommodation in the Mount on Glossop Road

Started off as a forward.

I’m getting giddy with excitement just looking at that picture. I reckon I could still find the Corgi cars, Scalextric, Britains farm stuff and subbuteo sets now

Isn't that the "new" Redgates store though? Around 1968ish?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Not sure, judging by the cars it looks mid 60's

Hole in the road work started sometime after 1966 World Cup. Still a traffic police stand there then. Traffic Bobby!

Destroyed in the Blitz. Harrods bought the business and rebuilt the store which had moved to Fargate. (Anyone got a photo of that?. Sure I've seen one)

There was an old one????

Redgates is one of my fondest memories of the city centre. I could spend hours looking at stuff in there if my Mum wasn’t careful

You were born in a field?

 

[Therealfurphy]

Has to be Jessop's for the first born and the first breath is that smell of Hendo's - hooked for life!

 

[madeinsheffield]

You were born in a field?

No, but he was made in one!

 

[1066blade]

That reminds me, my Dad took me to sit beneath the Mans Head at Rivelin, whilst sharing a bottle of Dandelion and Burdock nodded his head backwards and said, "Thar were made in't field behind us", such poingient moments eh!

Great pic, but as a 10 year old I was too cool to go in't paddling pool, used to swim in the river Rivelin behind it, diving in from the bottom of the wier where the water was nice and deep and absolutely bleeding freezing!

I was there Bert on the last day when it petered out to a draw. There were quite a few grown men shedding a tear.

Sir Geoffrey signed my scorebook in the car park just after close of play on the last day.
Be awful if it went to the skip in the great downsizing clear out.

Sad day indeed.
