regarding Pop Knowles vanishing cane?It was Johnny Kay who hid it,He had us lined up to cane us for something and got called out for something and told us to wait there and when he nipped out John stuck his cane up the furnace like you said.He went mad.Lol

Yeah i know a few people like that.Never understood why they do it.My old next door neighbour once fetched me round to show me his new kitchen he’d had put in.A week later and a few beers later,has a bit argument with his missus and smashed it to smitherines. Lol Why?

Yeah I think that is Wildsmths only flaw,he stays on his line when he should be coming out for he ball.

I remember a lad called Melluish used to run cross country at Meynell Chris,a tall gangly kid. ---------- Post added 22-03-2018 at 22:25 ---------- Val Smith married Ted Brown,also from Meynell,I worked with Ted a few years ago,They live on Cookson Rd or Avisford,not sure which,I always get them mixed up. ---------- Post added 22-03-2018 at 22:33 ---------- They were a year above me. ---------- Post added 22-03-2018 at 22:40 ---------- I live on Shiregreen no and Barbara came in Bellhouse WMC a few times so she could quite possibly live round herebut the club has gone now so its probably 5 or 6 years since I last saw her.What is your maiden name,if I happen to bump into her?

Ignore them Jenny,you do a smashing job love.LOL ---------- Post added 22-03-2018 at 22:00 ---------- I think its the stand up comedian coming out.His brain acts faster than his mouth sometimes that's all.I like Toby but I have said before I think he could do with a bit of speech therapy or he will finish up with a stammer. L

I I I'm almost sure the law is that you cannot start a fire before 7pm. ;

Get in touch with Tony from Firth Park WMC.THEY've just folded.Got some top players.You can get his number via Sunday Imperial League.

Hi Chris,sent that photo to our Fay but she is in Tenerif just now,She knows a few of them.such as Mr Salt,Bunting,I'll have to wait until she gets home so I can go and see her and send you the results.

Hiya Teres it's Ted,where are you now? Havn't seen you in ages.

sorry I have to disagree,I think he has an awful monotone voice.He Sorry I have to disagree,I think he has an awful monotone voice,he's ok at reading the sports results out.As for Andy Giddings,I thought he'd been gotten rid of after his horrendous interview with the Wednesday coach. ---------- Post added 04-06-2017 at 17:50 ---------- TBF I think it is a second rate radio station.Most of the presenters sound pretty amateurish to me.Apart from maybe Steve White,Phil Butler,Georgie Spanawick and Toby Foster.

Their keeper kept the score respectable. ---------- Post added 27-12-2016 at 21:07 ---------- Forestieri was a bit off the pace to be honest,due to a lack of game time.When he's fit he's a lot quicker than he showed last night.

Forestieri better beware of that idiot that got him sent off at our place because you can bet you're life he'll be in his face again.Just hoping Loovens or Lees will have a word in his ear.(the Preston player I mean)

My mum worked there for about 30yrs.Her name is Ivy Fowler,think she worked in the cannery most of the time.Her best pal was Irene Beresford.

He needs to slow that motormouth of his down or he will end up going to speech therapy.I mean.I like the man but his stuttering is getting worse.

There are very few on social media Chris.The only ones i have on facebook are Norman Knight,Albert Diver,Alan Brunt(blinks),Jacqui Davies,Terry Howell and Tony Deakin(Micks older brother)

I married a Kath Toulson.She had a brother called Clifford and sisters,Jacqui,Lily,Silvior,Pauline and another one whose name I forget,They lived on Archdale Road back of the Manor Hotel.Some of them had different surnames,Allen,Kath died at 28,her sister Jacqui lives on Southey,last time I saw Sylvia she was the stewardess at Handsworth WMC but she will be retired now,Used to see Lily in Southey Club but got devorced and moveed away somewhere,The one whose name I forget live in Worthing near Brighton and I havn't seen Pauleen and Cliff for 20 or 30 years,Hope this is some help to you,

I worked with your mum Shirleen behind the bar in the 70s

I knew Paul Fisher.I knew his partner in crime,Barry Walker better though.Barry told me about the incident once.He said they were hire d to 'put the frightners'on Arthur in order to get some money back that Arthur owed a 'third party.They were given an old gun that Barry said,looked like it was from world war 1 and he honestyly didn't think it would work,with it being so old.Anyway,they saw Arthur in his car,waved the gun at him through the window,thinking that,that would do the trick,but old Arthur made a grab for the the gun and it went off in the struggle said,Barry said it scared them more than it did Arthur..That was what Barry told me.As for Fisher,word has it he turned supergrass for a lesser sentence and when he got out he left Sheffield.I havn't seen him since and Barry died a few years ago.

I have been diagnosed as having something called plueral thickening,which,in effect is a tiny amount of asbestos in one of my lungs.I worked in the refractory insulation industry,which involved knocking down and rebuilding furnaces.I also worked in the asbestos removal industry as well.I doubt anyone would come in contact with blue asbestos in the steel works.It was usually white,which was used in between the brickwork and the steel csing plus they used it in a kind of rope form around the furnace door.Not as dangerous as the blue stuff but still deadly if exposed to it long enough,I bet a lot of people would be surprised to know that railway carriages were all lined with 'blue',and,unbelieveably,i had some colleagues who worked on the Q,E,2. clearing all the cabins of blue asbestos.The stuff is pretty harmless if left undisturbed,but when people start drilling holes in walls,not knowing what's behind is when the trouble starts....Sorry for the long post.

Don't know if these 2 have been mentioned as I havn't read all the posts,but anyone remember Eli & Cynthia at the Mosley Arms?or Jack Palmer who had the Royal (I think) at the corner of Penniston Rd. and Bradfield Rd. he used to keep a talking Myna bird in a cage above the door.

Razor Ruddock's appearing at Firth Park WMC soon....£10

I saw him at Leicster just as Banks had replaced him for England.We drew 2-2 that night and I was stood in the terrace with the home fans when I heard one of em say Banks was no where near as good as Ronnie.R.I.P. Ron

I wouldn't have thought Sheffield was all that big in those days.Probably just a village.

There was a family of Savages lived Doe Royd Cres. Parson Cross.A fairly large family who went to Meynell Rd. school,then Chaucer.

I knew for years from town mainly and Rodney in bottom of lane,Cannon Hen and Chicks,Railway club etc.Sound like a right lush don't I.I live on Shiregreen and some of your family live on here also.Denis Sheedy(Denbo)?Also,isn't Gary Rasdale related to you? He and a couple of the Sheedy brothers used to play football for me years ago.Small world eh?
