Yes, we used to go in the burngreave club and social on a sunday with him and my dad after playing football, I can even remember helping him to move flats and carrying his furniture across the road

I used to know your Dad & Grandad , your grandad was a friend of my late father Eric Marshall, they used to go in the stanley street working mens club

Not many working mens clubs about now, or proper pubs! My dad managed the gower arms and we used to go In there quite a bit, I presume you would have known my uncle rodger and their sister veronica

He had the same build and colour hair as my dad, you could tell they were brothers. If you saw two young kids running around that would have been me and my brother, he took us training with them all the time, I've got a photo of the team somewhere I'll see if I can dig it out

Hello Brett, the last time I spoke to your dad was in a pub in Barnsley before a Wednesday match. A pal of mine told me that he had a plumbing business or a plumbers merchants shop near Hillsborough Corner. Is that right?

For a friend, does anyone have any old photos of Gower Street ? There only seem to be 2 or 3 on the web mostly of the pub. Thank you
