A little confused here, was it the Woodhouse or Dore ground you call Brunsmeer ground? Thank you.

Brunsmeer had pitches all over ,even one at Meadowhead where the hotel is now.

The old Sheffield Transport ground, have they built a hotel on that? Or the old Rowlinson school sports field. Ta.

Jordanthorpe School fields ,as you come down the dual carraigeway before the bus lane into Batemoor. I thought there was talk of Sheffield FC buying the transport ground or have I imagined that ?

With regard to the various comments about Steve the barber who worked at Fantham’s , his surname was Bajdala and he originally worked at Tom’s on Charles Street .

This was a 6 chair barber’s shop and I first went there in either ‘59 or 60 . Steve cut my hair and I asked him to do it in what was then known as the ‘Barister cut’ which was a slightly shorter version of the style popularised by the Beatles some years later

He did such a great job I never used anyone else for at least ten years and when I met him many years later walking in Rivelin Valley he recognised me , stopped for a chat and told me I had the best hair he ever cut !!

2 pitches side by side and changing rooms. Sure they were known as James Fairley Steels pitches. Brunsmeer definitely played on them early eighties. They were fenced off from the school pitches.

One player in all three pictures, Revie's henchman.
Second picture, when I see it, always makes me think Bremner saying "Jock I only kicked him"
That should have been a good scrap Big Jack and Dennis the menace. Place your bets.

Denis, all day long...

It is Ure. All the Leeds team were a nasty sneeky bunch.

 

[I should coco]

It is Ure. All the Leeds team were a nasty sneeky bunch.

Absolutely.

ALL OF THEM, including their 'creative players' like Giles, Gray etc who all put the boot in, as and when necessary. It was a different time and most teams had at least one hard man, but they were the exception.

Eleven nasty twats who were as happy to win with strong arm stuff and/or by playing football.

I did my level 2 with Eddie Gray at Thomas Rotherham college when he became caretaker manager at leeds ,he managed a couple of days then jacked it and resigned as manager. Bit of a nob ,we knew werent as good as him but didnt he let us know.

It was the old James Neil’s ground, that was adjacent to the Jordo School playing fields. The old entrance can still be seen to this day.
The signage re Sheffield Fc’s involvement with the Transport Ground seems to have disappeared.
The 2 pitches there used to be top class, when I was playing in the 70’s/80’s

dirtiest team ive ever seen in 60 years of watching football remember being at swillsbro think it might have been easter monday 65 or roundabout and they kicked wednesday all over the sty mind they lost 3 - 0 johnny giles the cultured midfielder was one of the sneakiest great player but had a nasty streak and always did it behind referees back

Chiltern and Wagstaff were dirty bastards. Blades V hull 1971.for instance.

Denis, all day long...

Just the one 'n' then, I always see him as the menace or dirty bar-steward from when I first saw him in 1957

I wouldn't put Mick Jones in that list but he did take advantage of any skulduggery as in SB's video at Highbury. Would that make him culpable?

“Terrible punch from Sprake”’,like hell it was, what I would call a belter. Only a booking for that, imagine Sky and Match of the day, be wanting him banned for life and a prison sentence.

 

[kevreedy]

Before my time Gerald Henry played for wendy. the older fans with respect might have seen him. apparently, he used to do em in the tunnel. before the match started.

mick jones was never used by revie as he played for us especially on corners mick used to start his run from corner of 18 yard box and woody would hit the corner at pace bang on to his forehead 12 yards out no better example of that than the goal against man utd boxing day 66 nearly broke back of net on kop end stepney never moved great centre forward of the time was mick jones was devastated when we sold him to leeds

I was at the 63 night game, I think Joe Shaw got injured early on.

Sorry the quotes didn't come on.
