Never seen my Dad so excited as the day 'The King' was on the pitch at the Hull game. His ultimate football hero and brilliant for me to see my Dad so animated

I’ve asked this a couple of times and never had an answer, which fans are ours?

The ones on the right as you look at the photo. Its from the archives of the daily mirror and if you look on the full version you can see Slosher at the back (for those that know Slosher).

Take a guess at what they are queuing up for?


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

New strip ?

Greatest day of my SAFC life, goosebumps!

 

[The Rat]

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!

Very fair point marra.

This really is a quality photo like, looks almost stage, Catts poses in amazing

Absolutely love it, no world beater but will go down as a cult hero for a lot of fans.

Either the shirts don’t match or the lads back row centre and front right have theirs on back to front

Salvation Army or a Catholic church rally IIRC.

If you have a look back at SAFC history then the season before the red and white halves were on the other side. I'm therefore assuming that they perhaps didnt have enough tops, mislaid some etc. Good spot though.

Salvation Army or a Catholic church rally IIRC.

Yes, Catholic Mass at The Clock Stand. I've got a crappy picture of them all inside the ground and there is a statue of The Virgin Mary on the pitch up by where the RE scoreboard was.
