Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

Would that be the dart incident game?
Being a Terrace'ite I didn't see much first hand, only walking wounded passing to be patched up or ejected.

I was too young to attend matches then. I remembered what my friend (sadly died in 2000) told me about the match. Am not aware of the dart incident. Years ago I saw a photo of a Blade who had blood pouring from his head after being hit by a brick in the Man U game in October 1967.

Anyone have any photos and memories of the old Club shop on the corner of John Street / Countess Road?!?

Just to let you know, there are at least two to my knowledge. One of the shop and one of the opening of it with players and Miss SUFC in attendance but cannot lay my hands on them at this time, sorry.
Here one of a beer off on John St,Wasn't the club shop on the opposite corner to the left?

Definitely Herdings Park. Climbing frame, swings and two of the ‘Three Sisters’ 13-Storeys tower blocks above the scarp in the background.

Big possibility photo taken in Herdings Park on Norton Ave.

Definitely Herdings Park, background gives it away.

Probably means they were playing Cutlers Arms FC as I don’t think any other senior side ever played there?

Possibly so, I were wondering where John Barnwell's right hand is, lass in footie shirt certainly got a cheeky smile going.

The Maestro...

...and a couple of decent Admiral kits too!

The infamous Tony Currie return to Bramall Lane as a Leeds player night!...

...and who will ever forget our 'for one night only' goalkeeper's performance in our 1-4 defeat!?!

Greenwich Blade

Yes, Nicky Johns! Who having returned to the UK from the NASL (!) to appear for us once, went on to become a Charlton Athletic goalkeeping hero!



Currie's goal that night left Johns actually tied up in the back of the netting!

There maybe a photo of it out there somewhere?!?

Intriguing.

And amazingly found the footage of the match highlights...

Absolutely correct! Wikipedia wrong (probably only consider league games)...



v Sunderland on BBC MOTD!

[RammyBlade]

Brilliant footage - amazing how there wasn't any health and safety regs as people just hopped on and off the trams whenever they wanted and walked in front all the time Happy days of a busy bustling city long gone !

v Sunderland on BBC MOTD!

My dad said, "That new goalie looks a bit suspect," after the game, with particular reference to him spilling the ball for Sunderland's first. A few days later we found out exactly how suspect.

Oh my, I haven't seen that since the night it happened, but that second Leeds goal, that's the one I have never been able to shake from my memory. I need closure!

I remember the spill and the guy behind me in the upper Bramall Lane stand yelling 'Johns, tha shudda weshd thi shirt'.
Had to ask my dad to explain and apparently Arsenal believed they lost the 1927 FA Cup Final to Cardiff because the ball skidded on their goalkeeper's brand new shirt.
Evidently to this day Arsenal always pre-wash goalkeeper shirts!?!

You decide...

Same here, their second goal (Correction: Gray not Currie) was just cringeworthy.

tc got dogs abuse from the shoreham that night

 

[St Albans Blade]

Remember, 2nd in the Championship, in an FA Cup Semi-FInal at Wembley. It could be worse...

Vivian was a standard man’s name. Poet’s like Tennyson invented Vivien as a female equivalent, and it became fashionable. But not everywhere - Viv Richards is a good living example of a male Vivian.

Marion was a bloke's name too. Just ask John Wayne.
