"b neville " Is that Barry Neville? If it is, he runs the Merrie Monk in Manor Park.

I was 18 in the mid 70’s (1975) and remember a large group of Wednesday fans used to go on the Leppings Lane end at that time. One name I do remember from that time was Brent Hawkworth (Who I sometimes still notice at the Matches). Also, Will Campbell, Rutter, Steve Conroy and other members of the “Walkley Mob” who names I forget.

I still recognise many many faces from the mid 70’s who still attend the matches but can’t put names to them.
