Title: What's going on here? Post by: tikay on August 23, 2013, 10:13:35 AM Name....
The Gent (very famous in football) The train The occasion (http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o541/tikay2/NEW%20ALBUM/BL1_zps8ed0edb5.jpg) (http://s1147.photobucket.com/user/tikay2/media/NEW%20ALBUM/BL1_zps8ed0edb5.jpg.html) (http://i1147.photobucket.com/albums/o541/tikay2/NEW%20ALBUM/BL2_zps3b6cad5c.jpg) (http://s1147.photobucket.com/user/tikay2/media/NEW%20ALBUM/BL2_zps3b6cad5c.jpg.html) Title: Re: What's going on here?

Don't know. Is that your 21st birthday party after which you have never touched a drop of alcohol due to waking up with person or persons unknown in the luggage rack? Title: Re: What's going on here?

Not Alf Ramsey, no, but same sort of era, though his career span was greater. His fame did not come from playing. Bit of a thorn in the side of the football establishment, but eventually had a recognized Football Trophy named in his honour. Butcher by trade, I believe. Not my 21st, no, at the time the photo was taken, I was 26. Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: TightEnd on August 23, 2013, 11:50:05 AM would the top person be Alan Hardaker?
Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: tikay on August 23, 2013, 11:54:09 AM would the top person be Alan Hardaker? Excellent blast from the past, what an obdurate sod he was. But no. Mr Hardaker operated at national level, my chap at Club level. Being as you mention Alan Hardaker, here's one for you, with your Football Ground obsession. Where is this? The ground remains in use as a Football League Ground today. The photo includes Alan Hardaker, & what appears to be a (much) younger Karabiner in the middle.

Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: tikay on August 23, 2013, 12:16:00 PM No i would need clues for that Her's the same Stadium. No idea of the date, though.

Post by: edgascoigne on August 23, 2013, 02:14:45 PM I want to say Belle Vue but they moved to the Keepmoat ages ago :(
Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: DungBeetle on August 23, 2013, 02:19:32 PM Is it Aldershot's Recreation Ground? That used to have lots of grass behind the goal I think.

Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: tikay on August 23, 2013, 02:49:35 PM I don't want a "Sir Perceval" affair, but no to all of those. The Gent was a Club Chairman, with a very successful "method". To be fair, he passed away a very long time ago. The ground is in a City which currently has TWO League Grounds.

Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: DungBeetle on August 23, 2013, 02:55:32 PM Last guess - Hillsborough?
Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: tikay on August 23, 2013, 03:00:32 PM Not Sam, probably about the same era though, maybe my man was a bit earlier. Not Sheffield, no. Quite a way from there. Surprised the Gent has not been identified. Good Lord. Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: Tonji on August 23, 2013, 03:05:01 PM Uncle Bob!

Yup, Eastville, Bristol Rovers (then) home. At which point, apologies are in order for the teeny weeniest of misleading clues - I now gather it was demolished in......1998. Whoops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastville_Stadium Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: TightEnd on August 23, 2013, 03:58:52 PM Well it was slightly more than a misleading clue, as of course it is no longer in use and thus discarded from my list of possibles due to said clue
the Eastville end with the enormous dog racing scorebaord can be seen here (http://i2.wp.com/pitchinvasion.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/eastville-gas.jpg?resize=320%2C320) must have been quite a sight in its heydey Anyway, I am stropping now ;-) Title: Re: What's going on here? Post by: tikay on August 23, 2013, 04:00:02 PM You'd have got it straight away if I had not disguised it. Surprised you missed Bob Lord though. |
