redted50 Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 When you mention Hoovers I think it was Maurice (not Norman) - he was involved in a shop on Sharrow Vale Road (which is still there) which sold re-conditioned vacuums. Some of the Clubs I played for:- Sutton United; Hallam FC; Stocksbridge; Outibridge; Sheff Waterworks and many more on Saturdays. Arabs FC; Hackenthorpe Blue Ball;Beighton; Phoenix; Simm etc. etc. on Sundays. More clubs than Jack Nicklaus................. It was definately Norman,he came in our house,dint recognise each other,his hairs gone snow white,mines just gone plus I'm 4 stone heavier.

Billam Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Just seen this topic, I was at school with Maurice and Norman, Jordanthorpe, Norman was the hard man. I worked at T C Harrison, their mum worked on the pumps. I used to see Norman when we played Sunday League in Graves Park, Noran was a laugh to be around.
RiffRaff Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Yes, was at the same school as them, Jordanthorpe at the top of Dyche Lane. Both a bit older than me, but well respected even then.

What that when Paul Carr was playing for the East House in the old Sheffield & District league that eventually became the Meadowhall Sunday league?
Renegadeboy Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Just seen this. Remember Maurice from Hunters Bar area. Was he linked to Leeds Utd at some point, I'm sure that's what he said?
abbeyedges Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 They were a bit older than me but they lived on the same road as me on the Lowedges estate in the 1960's. Strange that although they were both good footballers I never saw them play out on the street or in Lowedges park and yet the rest of us were playing football from morning 'til night. I was always aware of the Leeds United connection.
RiffRaff Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Didn't Norman eventually play/coach football somewhere out in the Far East? Singapore, maybe? Seem to recall hearing something along those lines...
