Bronco Laynes Squirrel Cafe, 1960s

[Ontarian1981 10]

Sheffield born Gordon was already mentioned earlier. The only Yorkshireman in the 22 man squad I think.

 

Ray Wison was a Huddersfield lad, I believe.

4/6d seems expensive for a glorified breakfast in 1961.Are you sure you have the price and year right ?

Yeah, I was thinking that also, you could get 3 pints of Stones or 30 park drive for 4/6d. in those days Or, two pints and 10 fags and still have a few pennies left.In fact, you could probably get fish and chips for three also for that price.

Ray Wilson was born in Shirebrook, Derbyshire. I think it's a couple or miles or so east of Bolsover. Ray lived in Huddersfield when playing for them and when he retired.

I remember Colin Dobson scoring a goal at the Leppins Lane end where he juggled the ball foot, Knee, head back of the heal, back onto the head, shoulder, Knee and then a right foot shot from just outside the 6 yard box into the goal. the crowd just applauded also some of the opposition team, it was exhibition stuff in a league game.

Colin was a great winger, who was ruined by Alan Brown's wingerless line ups. Don't get me wrong, Brown did a great job doing that and a lot of teams were playing that way at the time, including England. However, Dobby hardly got any playing time after Brown arrived, shame really.

Brown got rid of Brian Usher also. Colin Dobson went to Huddersfield Town then to Bristol Rovers and was an icon at both places.

[Ridgewalk 98]

Yes, Hodgy, (Blades) , Eddie Hopkinson (Bolton), Gordon West (Blackpool, Everton,) Jim Montgomery (Sunderland), Peter Grummit (Forest), Ppeter Shilton, (Leicester) John Osbourn (West Brom) , Tony Waiters (Blackpool), Colin Mc Donald (Burnley)_ and a favourite of mine Alan Ogley a Barnsley born lad played for Manchester City. West was also born in Barnsley. They were all English born but they're were other good goalies in then old First Division in the 60's from Ireland, Northern Ireland, Wales not too sure about the 'jocks'. (a lad that played for West Ham ?) Don't think many of them went in 'Bronco's' café tho'.

 

 

Bill Brown ( Spurs I think), Jim Standen

 

Alan Ogley came from the same village as me, Gordon West was a Royston lad.

Slightly off topic but there was a greasy spoon type cafe on the corner of Leppings Lane that I used to frequent late 1970s early 80s. I think its a chippy now, there was a tyre business next door. They served a mean full English at the time. I remember several Wednesday players used to go in, Mellor, Hornsby, Curran I think. One of them used to talk to me regularly although they knew I was a Blade

It was Martin Dobson that played for Burnley, he later went to Everton.

Yes West Ham. Confused Martin with Colin

[Ontarian1981 10]

Going back to the goalies of the 60s what about Bob Wilson of Arsenal, He may be a Scottish international but he was born in Chesterfield.

[ALAN 58 10]

Jim Standen also played cricket for Worcestershire, I think the scot you are thinking of is Laurie Leslie, the keeper who let seven in against the Owls was Noel Dwyer. I was there.
