It's probably just about died out by now but Bert can remember when many of them still called it Owlerton.

I still do, brought up 1940/50's most, if not all in my circles and local press (especially cartoonist Heap) called it Owlerton.
Easier to write and say, calling it Hillsb.......... just snobbery, the massive illusion.

Any idea on a date for this team group? A few decent players here.

Should have been at this one,13 and at the time trying to get, home, full season attendances.
Harder than it sounds as my attendances were by invitation, through my granddad and uncle. They were ever presents and it was a certain but their circumstances could skupper my ambitions.
I saw a few team photos taken in my early visits to BDTBL but unlike this one most were with the Terrace crowd as a backdrop and all to the kop half of the pitch as is this, also.
As you say some excellent players but in transition as a squad. Sold Jim Iley, an excellent, young strong footballer, relegated at end of season.:(
Excellent photo, thank for posting.

I have no memory of Richairo Zivkovic.
Remember Charlie Goode and the sending off.
He was having a decent game to that point, seemed get too carried away and over did the good he was doing.
Remember a Goode, early60's, from Bradford, he was a mad sod.
Thank you Sir, I am grateful and obliged as always.

I remember the video on the day we signed Berge. Zivkovic was seen in part of the footage walking about in the car park at Shirecliffe looking like Billy No Mates looking for someone to talk to. Played in one or two brief appearances during the lockdown.

I was just a youngster stood with my dear old Dad under the Pavillion. Despite the pain of arthritis in his leg he made sure he took me to the Lane whenever he could preferring to be out of the way of the crowd because of his leg.

Pigs were out in force that day a year after their FA Cup Final. I remember looking and wondering where the Blades were on the Kop and then seeing a sea of red and white scarves behind the goal and all the way up to the top of the Kop. Ritchie scored and we lost 0-1. Didn't realise in my lifetime after I'd only ever see the Pigs beat us once more at the Lane under Blackwell

One of my Dads finest quotes came after the game. Being from Nottingham originally he told me he chose the Blades because all the gob shites on the estate where we lived tended to be Pigs. True to form the offspring of the gob shites appeared when we were walking down Platform A in Pond Street. "I bet you're crying now they said to me" Dad said " they're not crying" and behind them Platform A was suddenly filled with hundreds of chanting Blades marching down the length of the Platform, Pigs scurrying away in all directions. At that moment I was hooked on being a Blade and a sense of belonging came over me as the scrotes from the estate hot footed it away.
