Born on the Cliff but lived in Paraguay for the last 30 years. My wife is from Brazil, next door to Paraguay, but speaks English with a Sheffield accent and is a Sheffield Wednesday supporter.

I taught her a 1960s song we chanted on the Spion Kop at Hillsborough .

 

"Hi yai hi yai Springett is better than Yashin and Yashin is better than Eusabio and United are in for a thrashing"

 

She sings it in a Paraguyan dialect with Spanish and Sheffield dialect thrown in.

HI Buck

I remember the ATTERCLIFFE roller skating ring we used to walk there from carbrook we all ways bought a pommygranit had it cut up between us and we all had a pin to eat the seeds, i recall there were 2 floors one for learners it had a rail down the middle, then there were our big rink like you i thought i was good but it soon sorted you out. we used to pass a swop shop on the cliff i swopped a case ball as they were called for a pair of skates the football was the old T pannelled sort the modern day pansis would break there ankles if they kicked one and it had a laze that cut when you headed it cheers DRK

It is Pop Naylor you remember. He used to take us for music as well. Mr Philips a Welshman took rugby for one season but then it was disbanded and football was all the go.

 

We went to Little Wembly a couple of timed but by the time we reached there and got changed; plus the walk back , we finished playing after about 15 minutes.

 

I can remember calling at the tap in the rolling mills for a drink on our way back.

Mr Phillips ran a rugby team at Colleridge Road School in the time I was there but it was never as successfull as the football team which was one of the best in the Sheffield area
