Very old team photo

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Found an old blades photo in a box, no idea who they are though. Anybody know? Looks like a good crowd. I cant make the photo go the right way either.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I cant crank my neck at 90 degrees either.

 

[jockdodds]

Here is the photo the right way up.....

Clearly from the fifties, I can recognise Fred Furniss, Ted Burgin, Joe Shaw, Alf Ringstead and Jimmy Hagan.

Which one is Hagan?

Front row, centre.

 

[LenTednTony]

Looks like they all had different socks on.

Barbarians to a man...

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Top left is Harold Brook, I think.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Top left is Harold Brook, I think.

...on second thoughts, I think he's on the front row to Hagan's right. Silent Blade can you confirm?

 

[shorehamview]

Silent Blade should be able to name them all, I reckon.

Blades 4 (Ringstead 3, Brook) Hull 1 Saturday 25th August 1951

Two weeks later, we beat Wendy 7-3 (Same line up apart from Latham instead of Toner)

 

[Guesty]

That Ringstead was some player eh?

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Yeah, but did they play with overlapping centre halves?

Wow great info! Didn't think I would find out all the players, nevermind the match! Brilliant.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Yeah, but did they play with overlapping centre halves?

No but they did use VAR.

 

[SteveH]

Was Reg Freeman manager at that time?

 

[Sirius]

Was Reg Freeman manager at that time?

Yes

 

[SteveH]

Yes

Thought so

 

[Silent Blade]

Was Reg Freeman manager at that time?

Yes

No, Teddy Davison was still our manager at the time. He went to Chesterfield in summer 1952. Reg Freeman came to us from Rotherham and took us up in his first season (1952-53)

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Tidied it up a bit

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Terrific little player .

The understanding between him and Sir Jimmy was very similar to that between Woody and TC which led to them both being prolific goal scorers , particularly for the position they played in .

Which one’s Davitt?

Ringstead hadn't got Woody's powerful shot, but he knew how to score headers.

In 1989 Denis Clareborough chose Ringstead ahead of Woody in his best X1 he has seen since the 1930s. I asked him if he really thought Ringstead was better than Woody. He said "Woody was a very good player but felt Ringstead was more "determined"

 

[northsomersetblade]

Which one’s Davitt?

Hagerty F., Hagerty R., Tomkins, Noble, Carrick, Dobson, Crapper, Dewhurst, MacIntyre, Treadmore, Davitt

That's a proper shirt, can you still get them anywhere?

The bloke on the back row, far right, works in Shapla, I’m sure of it!

When I first read that it came as a big surprise but on reflection , I can understand his point .

I'd still go for Woody , but it's a close call .

My dad was a Lane regular since the war and said Woody was better than Ringstead
