"Terrible Catastrophe at Owlerton" 100 years ago today.


Recommended Posts

Interesting quote which was sadly mirrored in '89

 


Alex, 29, of Walkley, said:

“At first, the seriousness of the incident was not fully understood by onlookers in other parts of the ground. Many thought the crowd had deliberately broken through a wooden barricade at the front of the stand

“But as spectators piled onto the playing surface, the true seriousness of the emergency quickly became clear.”
