You get a lot trying to refute that fact and saying it was all ticket but actually that isn't true. There were no buses. I got a lift with my mate’s dad. We all sat together on the North Stand. They are both Blades. It was a very quiet car ride back to Dinnington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way they managed to complete the northern league season once during the war and do you know who won?. Still nothing official and recognised in any records. Straw grasping. Lots of war programmes on that guys flickr, have a troll through maybe itl show you the answer to the squads. Fact is it was normal practice to list the club the loan player was from or they were simply labelled as guest in brackets, Ive a few war league programmes and its a common theme if a club had to draft a player in. While it may not be official, thats only because the league was suspended, the war league was played under different conditions, due to the war and players getting called into service. One thing I can guarantee is if the result had been the other way round YOU would have posted about it YEARS ago 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're correct but anyway I'm happy with the official records as they are.

A very good goal but not good enough to get a few Owls on here excited. Similar standard to the one scored by a Blades player a few weeks ago but they weren't impressed.
