Platform A

Ah, the high tech cutting edge. push button map of the city. As a yoof in the 70s, I'd say only about half the buttons ever lit up a place on the board.
Can an older fart, please confirm that it did work properly once?

I can certainly confirm that it did, ISC. I've mentioned before on this thread that as young kids we used to challenge each other to see who could get the most lights to work simultaneously using as many fingers as possible.
We definitely tried every combination of every button.
Simple games, simple times, although I guess you could call it an early digital app.

Always rushed to get the last bus at 11 pm.

Always rushed to get the last bus at 11 pm.

It was a bugger if you had a gig or similar, as Sheffiled's night time economy, was just a mite limited, in those days.

West Ham away 1978 for two daft 14 year olds.. Me and Andy Broskom RIP, got a coach from the Lane and missed the last 85 to Anston, at 10.30.

The last bus going anywhere near was the 215 to Dinno, at 11.05, so we got off at Todwick and walked on the A57.

Heppy Days....

No, and neither fake is actually a United shirt.

John Burridge and Simon Stainrod

Lovely players

 

[Silent Blade]

Fargate in 1945

 

[drblade]

Silent Blade Difficult when there isn't another photo to compare. I have a couple of team photos from early 1920, but I don't see an obvious match for these two.

One more, what about this one..Pantling?View attachment 238811

Even Dennis Clareborough couldn't identify him. Will keep trying. Photo will have been taken in 1912 because Billy Gillespie joined us on December 22nd 1911

Is it a time traveling Sydie Peck?

drblade , managed to identify the other player that Dennis Clareborough couldnt identify. This player is Dick Leafe. He played for West Ham after he left us and I have found a photo of him as a Hammers player


Now back to the mystery player, I will keep trying

Weird record and album covers you say! Rolf should have done a duet with Mary Hinge (what a great name that is) but not sure about the last one...

 

[Maurice Maurice]

Footnote: Not all of those records are real

I remember trainer Julie Cecil getting the name Mary Hinge past the Jockey Club a good few years ago!
