A very very big loss to Sheffield football. Local lad who was genuinely proud to wear the shirt. Gave his all in every match and would have been in the World Cup team if he'd played for a fashionable club. Can still see him now up to his ankles in mud, ferociously tackling anybody who dared threaten his goal. Condolences to his family and those close to him. Thanks Len for all the wonderful performances and memories you gave me. RIP mate, you really do deserve it.

First thing? Queens coronation 2nd June 1953, my third birthday. Why did I remember it? According to big brother I was being a pain because everyone was watching the massive B+W television and not playing with me. Apparently I went outside and threw a brick through a window to get some attention. So my very first memory was getting a walloping from my dad !

Used to live in Norfolk and regularly went in his shop. Really nice guy, friendly and welcoming. Always busy but usually found a few minutes to chat. RIP

Was at Hurlfield in the 60s and spent many a Friday afternoon in there. Much better than lessons. As I recall there was one decent table and all the rest had varying amounts of Sellotape on them plus quite a few of the balls had bits gouged out from bouncing about the floor. Happy days.

Jane Thorpe. Went to Manor Lane Infants school in the late 50s. Think she lived on Ingram Road. She was my "older woman", I was 7 she was 8.

Admit I'm a sucker for Hammer Horror films. Embarrassed? No way. Why should I?

What could should it be though?

No idea what his name was but we had a rag and bone man on Duke St. In Park District. Had a black and white horse and he always wore a red kneckerchief. Remember always getting pegs, balloons and a few cups and saucers.

So very sad. A fixture on the wing, great dead ball expert, shot like a bullet. One of the best. RIP Woody.

Providing the word "sterling" features on the note then it is legal tender. So I was informed by the manager of an "English" bank.

I was at Hurlfield Boys on East Bank Road from 61/66. Used to live on Duke St near Park Baths, caught a bus to Manor Top then a walk through Arbourthorne Estate. After Hurlfield went to City Grammar, even further !

Yep, agree entirely. They say memories fade with time. Don't know about you but it's not happening for me.

Thanks, lovely sentiment. Lost my mum 20years ago, think about her everyday, a really special lady. Happy Mothers Day mum, Mary Burgin lived all her life in Park District.

Just emailed the MP, hope everybody else does as well. Flood his inbox.

One word, ambrosia.
