Yes sad news. Old school entertainer. Great winger that could create a yard and deliver dangerous crosses.

Before, during and after Mt. Saint Helens here in Washington State erupted in May, 1985. It lost something like 1300ft from its 9000+ ft elevation.The bloke in the red Ford Pinto had to dump his car and escape on his motorbike and the last one is 2 years later where you can see it's already beginning to grow again...

A few weird car inventions that unsurprisingly didn't catch on, especially the toilet in the Roller disguised as an ice bucket. There's also an ice maker in a Toyota, a record player 'modelled' by Mike Summerbee and a hot dog cooker. Weird...

Only two clues

No fence. Must be 1970s

Seats on the far side of JSS still there. Cant remember the year when they closed that section.

EDIT: Had another look, the dugouts are not there

Another clue is the location of the tunnel. In the early to mid 1960's the tunnel used to come out from the dressing rooms in between the two dug outs.
(I think you can see the imprint on the photo).

I'm not sure of the date when the new tunnel was constructed but added to Silent's clue regarding no fences you may be able to narrow the date down.

Spotted earlier today on social media. Suspect the chance to win “a super dishwasher” may no longer be available.

That is the lime green one - just with the change black shorts (rather than the usual red).

Remember that game well…and wondering whether we would actually seen their Kop. It was a real pea souper when we got into the ground.

One for the engineers on here. Seems a bit anorakey (I know, I made that word up but you know what I mean ) but the design of some of these things is pretty remarkable...

Robert Pershing Wadlow, officially the worlds tallest man at 8' 11.1" tall. He was wearing clothes for 17 year olds when he was five, and he just kept growing. Sadly he died at just 22 years old and to be honest, sounds like he had a miserable life because of his extraordinary height...

Robert Wadlow: Tallest man ever

Humankind has always been fascinated by extremes: As a result, the record for the tallest man ever has been featured in almost every edition of the Guinness World Records book since its inauguration in 1955.
