What a shame he defaced it, but shows his feelings towards his, presumably wife, nice.

This is my runners-up medal from the 1901 F A Cup Final.
It belonged to outside right Walter Bennett, who scored Sheffield United's controversial equaliser at the Crystal Palace to make the score 2-2, which is how the game ended

Should the goal have stood, probably not, most accounts say the ball never crossed the goal line, unfortunately referee Arthur Kingscott was convinced it did and the goal stood, luckily it didn't matter as Spurs triumphed seven days later at Burnden Park Bolton to win the F A Cup for the first time.
The medal is inscribed to his daughter Lillian. Tragically, Walter died 7 years later in a mining accident aged just 33

IIRC, I think it got knocked down and rebuilt, memory suggest a carpet shop now? Butcher in Bakewell was displaying poultry like that until quite recently, albeit not on such a grand scale.

I used to ball boy down at The Lane between 81-84 from time to time and was lucky enough to get the U21 final in 84 at The Lane when we beat W.Germany . Think Gary Owen scored a couple

Apparently all the barrels on the rooves are filled with water to help with firefighting. If the building caught fire the rising flames would weaken the barrels and they would dump water onto the blaze below. The area was very dry and built of wood, so fires were a major hazard.

Owned by a Tottenham fan as far as Bert understands.

I'd just assumed it was to make it easier to identify the nearest bar

The Blades defender challenging Gallacher is Percy Thorpe. Percy played against Gallacher 3 times at Stamford Bridge, our keeper for the other two games was Jack Smith. As the caption says that our keeper in the photo is Jack Kendall so the match was played on 18/10/30

Scotland's first black player was in 1881!
