Alan, I think that Keith Ellis should be in that forward line as David Layne didn't join the Owls until 1962.

Thanks for the replies, I was thinking the name was something like that but thought there might have been a café of a similar name in the Pond Street bus station complex.

Anyone one remember the name of the café that was across Snig Hill from the Black Swan pub ? I think it was demolished around 1974ish to make way for the building of (the then) new law courts.

Excuse my ignorance but what is 'The Brentford model' and why would they not want promotion from the Championship, is it because that this is their last season at Griffin Park anything to do with any of this ?

The Owls highest attendance for a game at Hillsborough is 72,841 in an FA Cup game against Manchester City in Feb.1934 -a 2-2 draw. My dad, who was at the match told me that Matt Busby was the City captain that day.

Perhaps one reason for a low attendance was that Owl's fans had to pay extra for this game as season tickets don't count in cup games , (if that's still the case).

The Who also had a great intro on 'I Can See for Miles'.

The Owl's could get by winning 1-0 if the only goal chances City get in normal time are a penalty (or two if De Bruyne isn't playing). Yes Alan, saying Manchester City to get six at Owlerton is a bit out of your nature.

Yes Brooker but weren't Westwood, Rhodes, Winnall and perhaps a couple of others put on the back burner under the last manager ? Summats goin' on as we all can see.

Yes Alan, thank you.

You can't jog my memory Alan the realisms are always there: Willie Lawson, Fred McIver, Brian Woodhall, Steve (? that 'striker' they got from Rotherham ) etc, some of my heroes that suffered like me thro' the lost decade.

Yes right Alan, as I still have trauma symptoms 45 years later.

Didn't Tony Hateley suffer the same affliction as Jeff Astle ? Both players starting their careers with Notts County, if that's owt to do with the equipment at Meadow Lane.

Is this five out of the last six league games at home they've lost ? Getting to be like the barren mid-1970s.

Where on Ellesmere Road was that ? As I lived in that area till 1986.

What if Man City win the Champions League this year and unless they've changed the rules, don't the holders qualify automatically for the next year thus leaving one extra place open in the English Premier which could be the Blades ?

Makes me wonder why it took until 2018 to gave Harry an OBE.

Yes I recall that programme (wish I still had it). Those days Man Utd used to print both team line ups for home games on the front page with a drawing of a man in a suit and trilby shaking hands with a player above the names. As you stated. the United line up was left blank as they didn't know who would be starting. The FA. gave them special permission to play two players signed only a few hours before even tho' it was after transfer deadline -no windows then, just a couple of days - I think they were Stan Crowther (Aston Villa) and Ernie Taylor (Blackpool). Makes me wonder how it took till 2018 to give Harry an OBE.

I thought that name was one of the Great Train robbers until I read it properly ,thank you Padders

Man Utd's goalie that night was a lad who was third choice (name I forgot), I think David Gaskell was reserve but he too perhaps injured. I recall Harry Catterick wrting a letter -it was in the Star- to the young goalie to cheer him up. Also: is Bobby Charlton the last one living from the players that survived the crash ?

That was the Albert theatre.

Wasn't there a company at Handsworth that produced a similar thing ?

Thanks.

If this week is a winter break for Premier League clubs, how come there are four PL games this weekend ?

Where were the labs and the cricket field situated ?
