I once visited Keith Kettleborough's house at Herringthorpe in the 1980s. His daughter went to the same school as me and I am still in touch with her via Facebook. Will send her this photo

A fabulous colourized picture of JIMMY SHANKLY (older brother of Bill) scoring the first of his 2 goals for Sheffield United against Burnley on the 29th of March 1927!
"The blades" that day won 5 - 2 at Turf Moor

I'm sure there was one up by the old Abbeydale Picture House. Was that their's?

"0742" remember that?!

It was a little further away from town than House of Barrington.

If you come down Woodseats Road and turn right towards town it was a further 100yards (approx) on the right hand side.

After Summers and Pace I think it became a gentleman's barber under the name of Ciccarilla's (?).

I think it still is a barber's.

Remember when it was acceptable for league clubs to get their kit off small local sports shops?

Nice photo, a position we are all attempting to achieve.
Hope Hecky don't see this, he'll probably pick him for Satdi.

He must surely be our oldest living player? His Wikipedia entry says he lives in East Yorkshire with his wife, so she’s probably no spring chicken either!
