What a game we had and a great team as well.
Brings back so many memories.
We have had some great players over the years but unfortunately never all together at the same time.
Ringstead, Hawksworth and Brook to dwell on for starters.

The Huddersfield left back being ripped apart by Alf Ringstead looks like a young Ray Wilson who obviously went on to win a World Cup winners medal in 1966.

Yes it is Ray Wilson. Match ended in a 0-0 draw in Sept 1958

Yes but then the writer goes on to talk about the Boxing Day "Massacre", instead of just Boxing Day Derby, or something like that, closet Pork?

d were pennies
Well sixpence or a tanner as it was known was.half a shilling was 2 and a half pence .so a threepenny bit would be worth 1 and a quarter pence.a shilling 20 in a pound was 5p
10shilling now 50p was called ten bob
A guinea was a pound and a shilling or one pound 5p.there all clear now

A guinea wasn't a pound. A pound was a pound. A guinea was a pound and a bob.

The old pound contained 240 pennies. It was a note.

Twelve pennies were a shilling. Known as a Bob. A silver coin about the size of an old 5p.

You also got two shilling coins (size of an old 10p) and a ten shilling note.

Half a shilling (six old pennies) was a sixpence. It was a small silver coin about the size of a modern 5p.

Then you got the 'threepenny bit'. Three old pence. Then, two old pennies (tuppence) an old penny, a half penny coin (ha'penny) and a quarter of a penny, a farthing. I can't remember if farthings were still being used by the time of decimalisation.

Decimalisation changed the number of pennies in the pound from 240 to 100.

A shilling was a twentieth of a pound so the new shilling changed from being twelve old pennies to five new pence.

The smallest new denomination was a half pence coin. Which was actually worth 1.2 old pennies.

As you'd imagine a lot of people found this confusing, even though the old shillings and two shillings were still used for many years after, as five and ten pence coins.
 



My grandad might have had summat to do with typesetting that report. After he got demobbed he came back to Sheffield and, having been a minor sporting celebrity before the war, got a job with The Star/Green 'Un, driving a printing press to sporting events and running off copies of reports. He went to the Lane and the Sty most often but covered all sorts.

He might not have, of course.

Seeing as you've failed to mention a half crown I feel obliged to inform you farthings ceased to be legal tender in 1960.
