And we seem to have recreated the smoggy atmosphere of the past!Marvelous, a direct link with the past.
Does Bert ever chuck anything away? Is Bert's house the size of Ikea or the Amazon warehouse?
My dad went to the Spurs v Leicester FA Cup final as he was the Sports secretary for Prestwich in Dronfield. During half time he had a conversation with one of Bobby Smith's relatives.

Or is Bert one of these strange hoarder people who lives in a small terrace house and only has 3 square feet in which to complete all of life's complex tasks?
Disallowed goal because John Tudor handballed a right wing cross. Ron Atkinson behind TudorFull set '70-'71View attachment 53567
What a fine player Bobby Smith was, not tall but a traditional centre forward.My dad went to the Spurs v Leicester FA Cup final as he was the Sports secretary for Prestwich in Dronfield. During half time he had a conversation with one of Bobby Smith's relatives.
3d your match programme. 3d.

I admire your confidence.......and the famous 'double' would never have occurred.
Which one's Bert?
I see the Pigs charged more than us back the as well
I'll be sure to watch it Bert. BBC 4 would be better though, for a chap of Bert's eccentric pedigree!!One day Channel 4 will make a documentary about Bert.

Got to agree with BornaBlade, #11059, Remember strong feelings, in general, that Blades could be the team to upset that Spurs side. Spurs were a great side but look at the following seasons results. 61-62 1-1 home losing 0-1 HT and Richardson scored. At WHL, 3-3, three goals away from home. 62-63 won 3-1 at home, 1-0 HT, lost 4-2 at WHL 1-0 HT. Would think that shows Blades were at least a match, plus "Gentleman" John Harris as manager, tactician.

I will put up in the next post pictures of the programme for the Sheffield Club centenary match. It was an impressive Amateur team for that match, including Billy Russell. I think you are right about half-term, and I have a feeling the score was 2-2. It was quite a celebration, as there was a match at Hillsborough the night before, and I have included pictures of that programme as well. Second-rate event, as they didn't get Prince Philip for their game! Joking aside, I have posted a pic of their advertising for friendlies against European teams - they were quite a lot more forward-looking than United at that time.Got to agree with BornaBlade, #11059, Remember strong feelings, in general, that Blades could be the team to upset that Spurs side.

Regards the other programme, 100 years of Sheffield Club, V Queens Park, oldest Scottish club. Must have been half term as remember going with mi mate and we didn't wag it. Can't remember score just went on the Terrace and it was cool and a little misty but then it often was in 1957.There was a quick report of the event on evening T/V news, think BBC, would love to see that again.

Thanks for showing the programmes very interesting. Forgotten it was a select amateur team representing SC. Understand why because for many years prior '57 used, on away Satdis, to go to Abbeydale Park where SC played. Also Sheffield Teachers played there, with mens hockey, R Union and archery, for a young lad like me a good afternoon out. Totally forgot the Hillsborough game, found that intriguing, regards the "more forward looking" and I do agree summed up by Eric Taylor.
Going back to the SC team noticed the goalie played for Pegasus who played at the Lane during the 50's.What the match was I don't know, probably for Semi Final Amateur Cup, know I went. Any recollections?
