Police taking the names of players after stopping a football match between Dore Juniors and Sheffield Rovers on Dore Recreation Ground, Sheffield in 1962. The teams had held a 'disorganised' football game in the hope of beating the Corporation bylaw forbidding organised sport on Sundays.

King Ecgberts was all girls in those days so probably not any of their players...

Dont remember the tall building!

Dont remember the tall building!

It was the Ebenezer Wesleyan Chapel on the corner of Bramall Lane and Rowland Rd - I used to play in the church yard as a kid!

As were on Bramall Lane demolition, 1965 clearing the terraces for the dual carriageway that never was. You can see the chimneys of the Cricketers on the right.

Heard a similar rumour, didn't hear Stewart mentioned all I heard was super Rod.

Just trying to get my bearings on this old photo, but on the left, with the glass covered entrance is the Theatre Royal which burnt down in 1935 and further in the background the building with the triangular pedament at roof level is the Adelphi Hotel where we, Yorkshire County Cricket Club (and another local football team) were formed.
The Central Library, where the buildings are on the right, was started in 1929, so the photo is before that.

Some excellent footballers in that team including some of my all time favourites

Joe Shaw and Jimmy Hagan are obviously two of them , but I would also include Burgin , Ringstead , Jim Iley and Colin Grainger , the latter being still the only English player to have scored 2 goals against Brazil . I had great pleasure in watching that match on black and white TV , having developed a mysterious illness which prevented me from going to school that day .

As for Jim Iley , he is seldom remembered for the number qualities he possessed which included courage , determination, the ability to carry the ball forward and provide excellent passes both long and short . The fact that he went on to have successful careers with both Spurs and Newcastle and was greatly appreciated by fans of both these , is a good indication as to what an excellent footballer he was .

Tommy Taylor also scored twice against Brazil in the same match

Does anyone recognise this? Not even sure if it's 50s or 60s.

In the late 1960s there was a shop on the corner of what was Norfolk Street and Howard Street, on the right hand side of the old photo, called ‘Lift Up Your Skirt and Fly,’ a swinging sixties boutique. My sister worked there for a while and you could actually get into the upstairs of the building, which was more or less derelict, with huge holes in the internal walls and floors, quite dangerous really.
That whole row of buildings was demolished to make way for the old Town Hall extension and the building of Arundel Gate. Howard Street today is a much truncated version of the original street
