Blades 1 (Bone) Newcastle 1 (Robson)

I was home for the weekend from the school and it was lovely being back home just for a few days also seeing the Blades for the first time in a league match in the new season but for some reason my dad and I were sat in the John Street stand instead of our usual seats in the BLUT. I think it was because his workmate borrowed my dad's and my season tickets so that he could be with his son in the BLUT. Strange arrangement!

Both goals were scored at the Lane End. In the first half Jim Bone reacted quickly enough to tap in Iam McFaul's save from...

I got married the week before, we beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. My dad bought me a green un. I read it in bed. Surprisingly we are still together.We honeymooned at Alcudia Majorca, which consisted of just a cactus and a donkey at that time.Bit different now.

“Just a cactus and a donkey”. Now that’s what I call a honeymoon.

Made me smile any rode.

Fucking Notlob printers nicking our players

Fucking Notlob printers nicking our players

Did you know Notlob an'all.
Lad at school, very left wing, politically, talking 50's.
The way mate and I refered to him as his surname was Bolton
Big bugger he were and at swimming gala finally, "Neptune's Court", he and I coppers, full uniforms helmets and truncheons.
I've a prisoner as he had and behind me, taking prisoners into court, instructed to ham it up and he hit me on top of the helmet with all his might, Barsteward.
Any road, as a prefect, helped to get every one on coaches, climbed on last coach to find a girl I fancied had saved me a seat.
Not only was my moral raised after the wack on the helmet.

Sheffield cathedral, don't know the date but it's definitely going back a bit. I never knew there were wrought iron gates and a fence round it...

What year?

 

[reedy63]

1969 is my guess.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

What year?

It wasn't dated.
I used to walk here regularly when going from my house on Alderson Place to my friend's house on Cherry St. My guess is it's from about 1974.

Woody equaliser v Man City in December 1972. Late in the game Francis Lee got sent off after clashing with Ted Hemsley

Horrible one this one but it serves as a reminder that there's very few winners in war but there are many casualties. This is a 10 year old lad in Nagasaki, 1945 with his dead baby brother on his back. He carried him to the casualty centre and on seeing him (the baby) they took him and gently placed him on the funeral pyre and cremated his tiny body. His brother stood to attention, watching the scene all the time biting his lip so hard to stop himself from crying, he's a lot harder than I am.

War, what is it good for. Got that right...
