Taken at junction of Cardwell St and rear Hartington St in Roker.
Late sixties about 1968-69 at a guess.
Todd was the best player in our team and his name covered the back of many a school haversack at the time.

Last one from me since I've ended up hogging the thread - oldest image of an SAFC team ever, in the original all blue strip, now dated to the 1883/84 season

I've just noticed the photo I coloured in is different. I knew it was a larger view showing more fans etc but it must be later as there's a few more coppers there plus our fans giving it a lot more

I like the Pope, the Pope smokes dope.
It really is. Everything came together in a perfect moment.A pro-photographer, with a full crew, would've taken a fortnight to pose that and come up with nothing better ...
... an absolute classic

Had a bit of style, Hughesy...and an uncanny resemblance to Ray Jackson out of Lindisfarne.

Baseball boots?
Iirc, the pitch was bone hard and icy that day.
There was one female who reacted faster than anyone else.

I remember getting this sticker as a bairn. They've just drawn the red stripes on top of a picture of him in a white shirt.

The Toddo graffiti photo will be from the late sixties / early seventies when Colin Todd was immaculate for us before Clough got him for Derby, he was a cult hero. Those back streets on the way to Roker Park seemed part of the pre-match experience. They often had bits of graffiti in those days and Toddo was the most popular.

My first match at Roker Park was in 1964/65 season, late August/early September v Leeds - we were 2 - 0 down at half time, but Johnny Crossan scored 2 and Cloughy got the other, in what must have been one of his last games for the club (we drew 3 - 3). As an 11 year old at the time (we'd moved out of the area when I was 8, my dad was a miner, left to go to the Notts. coal mines) I didn't realise he was a shadow of his former self. You didn't come back from cruciate injuries in those days.
