Iconic SAFC Photos

[Grumpy Old Man]

Take a guess at what they are queuing up for?


I had it colourised like the 1913 final one. Brings them to life

Looks like early 60s from the clothes. Tickets for Cup tie vs Man Utd?

Look at the way they are all facing and the way the queue is heading. Clearly its taken from the back of The Roker End.

Very difficult now to trace relatives down. They sometimes come out of the blue and occasionally ALS put some people my way for information and images on their relations/our former players. Had one the other week.

You’ve got some cracking photos there.

I've got literally thousands and I decided to get some of the older ones colourised. I know a couple of land who are colourisers.

Most of them were Scottish!

Those old coloured photos are superb. Did you post one a year or so ago which had Charlie Hurley standing over someone looking as if he’s about to rip someones head off

It was another lad who posted it. Cant remember if I gave the lad the B & W image and he had it colourised or he had the B & W image anyway. I've got it in my system somewhere though.

Now that is an impressive find.

Another one that I got the original from the archives of the Echo and had colourised.
