I met him at a Midweek Alliance game that my Dad was playing in and I was scoring in the mid 1980s. I think he was watching one of his sons. he came to the pub with the teams afterwards. I didn't know who he was until my Dad explained. He came across as a really nice bloke.I had the pleasure of playing cricket with both of Norman Yardley’s twin sons over the years.
Both great lads, but nowhere near as talented as their Dad - which we had great enjoyment in mentioning to them at the time. And still do!![]()
Used to meet my uncle there - it was also the drop off and pick up point for the coach that took us to and from the games in the early 70s ,courtesy of the Kiverton Park supporters club .Corner of John st, not sure of year, maybe early 70s
Grear days!, I remember getting souvenirs from the shop , corner of shoreham st / John st, before going into John st terraceUsed to meet my uncle there - it was also the drop off and pick up point for the coach that took us to and from the games in the early 70s ,courtesy of the Kiverton Park supporters club .
Had many a wonderful experience at that corner - mad anticipation before going into the Lane , and some amazing memories to talk about on the way home whilst listening to BBC sport and passively smoking a few Park Drives on the coach
Happy days

Silent, I 100% respect your ability to identify any United player, opposition, result, programme price, Green 'Un headline and half-time entertainment in any grainy picture from about 1903 onwards, but dating random street scenes to year and month is next level. I need to know how you did it?October 1976

Sorry, I think it was 25th September 1976. The other photo of John Street was taken on the same day as the below photo. I know the Blade (lived a few doors as me and his son was a childhood friend of mine) reading the programme and you can see on the front cover that it is from the 1976-77 season. When I first saw both photos taken from the same photographer some years ago I think our opponents on that day were Blackburn Rovers.Silent, I 100% respect your ability to identify any United player, opposition, result, programme price, Green 'Un headline and half-time entertainment in any grainy picture from about 1903 onwards, but dating random street scenes to year and month is next level.

That's the one!
Looking at those results there appears to be two Brighton's?See there was close to 50,000 at swillsboro
Think the H Brighton may be a typo for New Brighton. They're in the northern section of the league.Looking at those results there appears to be two Brighton's?
H Brighton and a Brighton both in different leagues.

There’s Silent walking up the street with his headscarf on just before he nicked the car - or so it’s rumoured
With the camera he got for his 50th birthday……He took the photo.
