You old smoothly, I took the Mrs to see The Who at the City Hall in October 67 on our first date. Still got the tickets. I’m not sure it did me any favours though but I made up for it by taking her to the Lane a couple of weeks later when we beat Leeds. It was the game we’ve recently been discussing when Mick Hill scored the winner. I knew how to treat a laydeee. 😉

My Mum would only watch musicals so as a kid I saw them all. I think Jail House Rock was the first. When the Mrs came along they used to go together cus she like musicals as well. The only non musical film that I can recall Mum seeing was Battle of Britain. I grew up thinking that people just burst into song and started dancing at the drop of a hat. Thinking about it after a night out on West Street they usually did. 😂

My lass told me you loved football and she did go with me to the Lane many a time. Once engaged she told me that she'd rather not go and would meet me at the Wimpey bar at 6pm (on the Moor) then we'd go to the pictures.

That sounds like entrapment to me Chippy. 😂 The Mrs had always liked football, she still does. She used to watch Rotherham before I converted her, Ralph Lyons on the wing was her favourite.

Didn't Barry Lyons go to Scabby Forest from Rovrum and had a good career with them if i recall correctly Gray. I still like the Millers(except when we play em obvs)and i enjoy watching them at NYS when times are more normal. They're playing well just now and i hope they stay up.UTMPB

DOH! Sorry Rod it was Barry Lyons and yes he did go to the Scabs. Ralph Lyons was a schoolmate of mine, a decent footballer, he played for Sheffield Boys.

Her Dad was a Blade and when we sold Mick Jones he burned his season ticket and never set foot in the Lane again.
