Chris Coleman should be alright, he is three-year young er than Chris Wilder. 

Come on Alan, what's age got to do with it ? And as an Owls fan, why not leave Chris Wilder out of the discussion, it's nowt to do with him or the Blades.

Just heard the sad news that Olga has passed away aged 92, lovely woman when I worked at the Wap for a while back in the 80's.

R.I.P. Olga, and before the Wap the Buccaneer.

Thats what he's saying. No premiership played that week so not bothering putting final score on BBC

OK, thank you.

I just had a look at next Saturdays programming on the BBC, as there are no PL matches there is no Final Score on the BBC, unless it is on the red button. Just shows how much they care about football other than the PL, the BBC show  FA Cup matches but then again it is usually PL teams they show.

The Premier League starts on Aug. 10th, perhaps you meant the Championship which starts at the end of this week beginning with Luton Town v Middlesborough on Friday night.

A while back they said they were having trouble attracting chefs to keep the place running. Apparently Brexit Britain was not a place they wanted to come to and were preferring Germany instead.

There were Indian restaurants (and chefs)  in Sheffield years before the EEC, Italian, Spanish , Yemeni and Chinese too.

Wath Wanderers was a Wolves nursery club back in the 1950s 1960s. The Dearne Valley would have been a rich source of talent bitd, being a mad football and coal mining area. Weren't daft Wolves. Ron Flowers was one such player who played for Wolves. I actually used to sit next to Steve Daley at school, if anyone remembers him ?

 

UTB

Yes Ridgewalk Steve Daley, didn't Malcolm Allison buy him from Wolves for Manchester City for the then highest transfer fee only for Daley to be a failure at Maine Road? A couple of others I recall that started with Wath Wanderers and going to Wolves as juniors were Mexb

rough born Alan Sunderland (Wolves, Arsenal) and Peter Knowles who quit the game for his religious beliefs, not sure if Peter's brother Cyril was at Wath as he went as a kid to Middlesborough and then Spurs.

Anyone seen the Owl's new kits ? Home kits great, proper  width blue and white stripes to me (early 60s) black shorts and blue and black socks, away kit ??? Green shirts and white shorts, Plymouth Argyle in disguise or what ?

Well,if they meet Plymouth in a cup tie at their house, they wear their home duds. 😉

I suppose that is just for the shirt, right? I'd want the full kit and a ball for that price. 😯

Yes Mr. T. I know the Owls won't need to wear their away kits at Home Park or even in a  FA Cup tie away to Yeovil Town.

Many apologies, SP! I'm being unfair to Andy with that association. He came from Buxton and scored 1 goal in 12 games - where would that put him in the all-time aggregate? Not at the bottom!! He left for Norwich City, not a bad destination. The mighty Fred is, obviously, another story.  Hoping you can continue with your tea without further trauma !!

As for Andy Proudlove, perhaps I'm getting him mixed up with another player. However, one thing Fred can tell his grandkids is that he once scored  for Wednesday against Manchester United at Old Trafford, that was when MU were in the old second division 1974-75 ? The Owls lost that game 3 or 4-1 (I think).

is he the player who was born in the Wath on Dearne or Mexborough area  and graduated in  football from Wolves' juniors (who the Owls bought him from ) ?

He used to run around a lot and each time he touched the ball -about five times in game- he would pass it backwards.

The very mention of Fred McIver has just put me off my tea !

Wasn't it next to Van Winkles cafe on Nursery St in the 50s ?/

Van Winkles, now that's a name from the past. I think I'm the upper part of that building was Woodcock freight shippers, which belonged to Woodcock travel.

Who can remember what the film was the first time you went to the "Pictures"....how come we never went to the Cinema ?

 

For me it was Disney's 'Song of the South' and I think I was seven so it would be 1947 at the Abbeydale.

 

My Gran also took me and my sister to see 'The Red Shoes' with Margot Fontayne at the Gaumont in Barkers Pool. Can anyone remember what year that was showing ?

 

GB

I saw 'The Red Shoes' when it was re-released in the early 1950's (the original came out in 1948) and it starred ballet dancer Moira Shearer.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks at the Gaumont on Barkers Pool. The queue went all around the building and back onto the main street.

Can't remember how old I was but I think it was in the early 70s

Film released in UK October 1971.

I  once spent a few days at Pipworth as a student teacher about twelve years ago. I remember being a bit taken aback by how poor some of the children were, but also very impressed with the care and dedication of the staff. My favourite memory was the day it started snowing and the teacher immediately stopped the lesson and let all the kids outside.

Let the kids outside to play in the snow or for them to go home ?

What about Sammy Lee for Owls manager ?

Would 'Crooksy' Be George Crookes who's dad kept a pub in Netherthorpe  ?

I think the Scotts that has just closed was the second of their premises in the Wicker, the original was further towards the arches next to Frederich's pork butchers who were on the Willey Street corner-both buildings still there.

Warnock would take them up into the PL, providing he could get his own way with the players he wants.

No idea what his Cardiff obligations are though.

 

 

Colin had his contract at Cardiff City extended by a year, don't think  he come to Hillsborough as he would be about as welcome as a bacon sandwich in Jerusalem.

2 pound 17 and 6d At Franklin's Decorators then at Southey Green shops Herries Road (next to Essoldo)-8am-5:30 pm, five days as an apprentice painter in August 1962.

Have a look at the BBC teletext, page 302.  Bruce; "It's in the hands of the clubs... It's come from nowhere over the last two or three days, so let's see what the weekend brings." 

 

He'll be holding up a Newcastle shirt with Bruce on the back, around 1pm on Monday. 

 

All done & dusted.  And don't feel sorry for Mrs Bruce, she's already married to a millionaire. 

If it does happen I can't see Ashley going to the expense of providing Bruce with a replica shirt AND a name on the back to boot, a tatty scarf from the Kevin Keegan era perhaps.

Any one recall Wilf Banks, Colin Otney and Brian Manterfield ?
 

In 1957 when Tory prime minister Harold Macmillan announced that the nation 'had never had it so good', was he right ?

I think Villa came within about seven minutes of losing when they played the Blades, also I read today that John Terry is linked with the Newcastle job.
