Photo of Kop 1970

I think you're right mate.

Great pic.

How did people not fall off the back of the Kop in those days?

Looks like Ian Branfoot to me, could be wrong though

The photo caption says it is defo Megson.

Driving me mad this, I'm going for Don Megson though (or Wilf Smith)

As I recall Warboys had bigger sideburns ... huge sideburns or was that Smith (or Megson)

Id love to have that kit again just for a season.

That was my first ever kit.

That was my first ever kit.

Mine too, funny how the sleeves on most peoples turned from white to a light blue colour after the first wash.

If the shirt was too big (Mum - you'll grow into it) the Blue torso part came down your sleeves.

The player in the forground is Jackie Sinclair,,,no doubt

Talking of Sinclair I remember going down to Leicester in 67 when they hammered us 3-0 and he absolutely ripped us apart, unplayable in the second half, so I was excited when we signed him but he never really hacked it did he, perhaps he was past his best but it was also the start of the decline which was to last throughout the 70s as we tried to rebuild the ageing 60s team without success. Unfortunately this coincided with united having probably their best team of the modern era.

That was my first ever kit.

mine too, birthday prezzy!

Haha...me too but not until July...had a no 10 on the back too for 'Prendo'

Go on then, someone's got to ask. Who are the Wednesday players in that picture?

Bit late on this one, but the Blades had more fans in the ground than the pigs. Very sad for Gerry that so few pigs attended.

The Blunts were on the Kop.

Can anyone paste the photo on here please.  The photo bucket thing isn't working.
