The photo above is not a Sheffield United match. It was Chelsea v Sunderland. The Sunderland player is Arthur Hudgell. I have spoken to John Garrett about this some years ago as it isn't Ernest Jackson. A Sunderland historian agreed with me.

Did we ever wear hooped socks at any point?

Can’t have been that game then but I never had the year. Have you the teams for the previous two seasons? Because even 1947-48 season we had them socks going by this team photo.

BTW im not saying you are wrong and it could well be the Sunderland fella but I’ve yet to see any evidence it is other than personal opinion on the blokes face, for me it’s hard to tell tbh.

I have never seen Ernest with thick hair like in the photo and he is slimmer and less broad than the Sunderland player

Did he play season before?

I don’t know mate it’s hard to judge if you’re going off hair. I’d be inclined to nudge towards Ernest tbh than the Sunderland fella Hudgill

However uncomfortable your experiences were of going for a haircut in the late ‘40s / early ‘50s , I can assure you that they would have been a mere stroll in the park compared to those of us who had the misfortune to have one provided by Ernest “Chinny” Cooper at his establishment on Station Road at Chapeltown .

This was a quite extraordinary place which , whilst only being the size of the average small shop at the time sold an amazing variety of items which were stacked from floor to ceiling not only in the shop itself but as it transpired when he died , throughout the whole of the living accommodation and much of which had been there for 20 years or more .

In the middle of this chaotic scene was a small area where he went through the pretence of being a barber and where he was accompanied by his harridan of a wife who sat next to him knitting while he practiced his ‘art ‘.

At this point I should mention that both of them had a pathological hatred of young boys , which they had no hesitation in confirming both verbally and physically throughout the whole experience .

The end result , fortunately in my case on just the one occasion , was that unfortunate recipient left the shop feeling that they were possibly the worst child ever to have stepped over their threshold and with a haircut that looked like it had been done with a pair of garden shears ……:(

The legendary Chinny Cooper.
Bert never had a haircut there. The basin cut never did suit him.

Thanks Bert - great photo that which brings back a lot of memories .

As you will well know , whilst he always had a ton of stuff on display as the photo shows , it represented no more than a tiny fraction of his total stock which included every item of hardware and ironmongery known to man at that time .

In addition to these however , he also stocked a vast range of other items as diverse as cricket bats and balls , clockwork cars and train sets , gentlemen’s silver handled walking canes and many , many more .

A quite remarkable establishment.

Wow!

When I started at Ecco Comp in 1973, the "Chap" kids referred to this place. If something was particularly shite it was described as being "chinny", if some one thought someone else was lying they would stroke their chin and frown and say "yab yow" in a questioning manner.

Dunlop shoes were "Chinny", anything from Woolworths was "Chinny". As has been mentioned before, anything decent was "Tozzing".

The other rather alarming story doing the rounds was about a Chapletown junior football coach called Haslam who bummed a 12 year old kid. I didn't know what bumming was, but it didn't sound good.

David Haslam eventually went to prison for his activities.
