Were elephants just roaming around Sheffield in those days? That would be fun.

Wonder if this photo inspired the making of Bugsy Malone ?

The elephants would have been TW Wards scrap merchants used to haul heavy loads instead of horses that wouldn’t have been strong enough

Not the greatest image but with my limited skills the best I can do.
Wondered if anyone else remembered remembered collecting the player pics from The Star or better still has a better image than I do. I'm guessing 1972/3 ish ?
(please ignore the wallpaper, it was of it's time)

That is a nice item which I haven't seen before (and I have a lot of Blades ephemera!)

Unfortunately I don't have it either. I had a vague feeling there was a photo of it somewhere amongst all the family guff and I found it the other day. If I remember correctly the pictures and wallchart were issued by The Star and our relatives collected them for us as nippers until we completed the set. I assume there was one for the other lot too but I have no idea about the other local teams.

Looks great imo - the back paneling of the Family stand has also been painted black and the exec seats in South Stand are now black - all done to cheer us up i suppose ?

Bad move IMO. It looks soulless IMO, and the kids agreed. Loved looking at the pictures of the legends (could have added George too). But each to their own, I know.

Absolutely agreed.

 

[bornablade]

So we removed the historical plaques from the exterior railings some years ago and now the wall of legends have gone.

Whoever is making these decisions doesn't understand the significance of our history as a club and Bramall Lane.
