Is this after the hurricane?

December 1940, a German bomb hit the ground

Bert.
Yes, we were lucky to win. Liverpool missed a load of chances; had 90% possession.
Blades broke away, and Hamson got the winner.

Tom Fenoughty

Thanks Silent. 13 players - how many would it be fair to say came through our 'Junior Northern Intermediate' (Academy) side?

All of them apart from Tom (signed from Sheffield FC) and Hodgy (Worksop Town)

Thanks for that Silent. Not a bad return - 11 players out of 13 coming through the ranks.

This is what I'd like to see more of. The Mee's, Ing's and Phillips are OK for a short term aim but our academy has to be where we put our investment for the longer term.

If I remember correctly united got a free kick, Liverpool wall wouldn't go back full 10 yards so ref booked everyone in wall. Never seen that since.

That pitch!

It was horrible, even for an artificial pitch. They used to put sand down in those days to deaden the bounce - I swear at Kenilworth Road they used the same stuff they gritted the roads with. Played on it once (when they used to hire it out) and got pushed over, landing on my knee - I was picking out bits of grit for a week!

Was this the February 1972 match when we had to play on a midweek afternoon due to miner's strike. Floodlights were not allowed.

Billy (seen here) scored a hat-trick.

One week after Santos / Pele played at Hillsborough.
