Middle row third from right I think, is a chap named Robbie Howell. First Romany Gypsy to play for England and Sheff Utd.
His name was Rabbi, apparently it WAS meant to be Robert but there was a cockup on the birth certificate front and he ended up sounding more Scottish/Jewish than gypsy!
 

could well have been he was my hero i was devastated when we sold him to leeds still the best number 9 ive seen in a red and white shirt
My hero too, happy memories of the Jones and Birchenall partnership days. Photo of him in a suit could well have been at the time of the transfer, I was autograph hunting back then and have memories of him wearing a sheepskin jacket, popular at the time… strange the stuff you remember!

yeah nicknamed the blonde bombers if only we had had the money to build a team round those 2 can remember em both getting 2 each in a 4 - 0 demolition of arsenal mid 60s selling those 2 definetly cost us our first division place in 67/68
 
5th photo no idea
Bottom photo, Tommy Sampy the Blades player? Either in the 1920s or early 1930s, probably the latter
I have them down as both in 1930, away at Chelsea and the bottom one away at Arsenal, don’t have a players name with it but think you are right as it looks like Sampy.
