Alan Cork
Steve Cammack
Francis Joseph
Bobby Campbell
Billy Whitehurst

So that’s 19 for me.

The “McEwan” is Billy’s younger brother Stan, who never played for us.

Have I missed anyone?

Hugh sang mainly but he sang on some great songs like Go Buddy Go and Somethings Got To Happen.

Some debate as to if this is Sutherland Rd baths where I learnt to swim in the early 70's .
I have only vague memories but appreciate any help in confirming it. View attachment 195995

my dad took me there swimmimg , had lessons from Anita Lonsborough who I believe she went on to win an Olympic medal
called at a chippy on Staniforth road on the way home, normally chips a sausage and mushy peas,,, brings it all back , can smell the chlorine

I remember going from Firshill School around 1968/69 when I couldn't swim. Scotty had us non swimmers knelt by the baths then he walked down the line and kicked us into the water. Fucking terrifying, bullying twat!

he certainly was did same with us only been about 4 times before he had everybody lined up and pushed us in then couple of weeks later took us all to deep end and just threw us all in with that long pole he had horrible bloke mind it was sink or swim with him best part of day was hot chico or orange at end think they were threepence if i remember correctly

Millwall,The Old Den, 1978

Millwall,The Old Den, 1978

Either The Old Den or Vetch Field. I went to Millwall a few times early eighties. Cannot recall the old away end being half closed. Maybe this was taken in the aftermath of the Ipswich fa cup disturbances?

It can’t be Vetch Field, we didn’t play there with Anderson in the team,definitely can only be 1978/79. The picture probably taken before the gates were opened.

How could I forget Captain Marvel?! (Quite easily given how it all turned out)

All I remember about Sutherland Road Baths is this sign and a vending machine with Chipsticks in it:

I learnt to swim there in the early 70s, I remember the sign and still have a love for Chipsticks to this day!

I think we all know this one. Surprising how many of these wonderful old buildings looked nigh on derelict before the addition of the black and white exterior work.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

I think this house is in Ambleside in the Lake District. It was built on a bridge over water so the owner didn't have to pay land tax. A family of 8 once lived in it and the picture of the old lady is from the 1920s

View attachment 195973

I always stay in Ambleside on my annual visit to The Lakes always wondered what the story was with it

Shred's funeral?

It's supposed to be a retired mob of former hooligans associated with our club... ITV or something similar

I thought it was the before picture in an ad for Ozempic.

One of my favourite non-Blades of all time.
Remember going to Brighton Vs Fulham (?) in the mid 80s. We were stood outside the ground when this car rolled up, and Frank got out of the passenger side looking a bit fuzzy round the edges, wearing one of those 80s flecked suits which looked like he'd slept in it.
He was still the best player on the pitch.

I see, the only one I recognise is the one with the white eye patch and he was at Shred's funeral

Apparently he died from cancer.

Granty.

He passed away about 15 years ago or so.

I can also half remember the BBC having a jolly boys to Millwall away in his honour. derbysufc would probably be able to tell you more

[North Shields Blade]

He must forever have regretted not coming to Bramall Lane. What a career he could have had.
