Stopped working in 1976 apparently, a year before that Man U v L**ds semi final took place. Oddly enough, those two played semi's at Hillsboro in 1965, 1970 and 1977. I went to the first two. Blimey I must have been walking round with my eyes closed back then, I seriously thought it had been photoshopped, I was already a regular at Hillsborough by 1975, albeit I was still in my mid teens and even went to Hillsborough that day to see the Leeds v Man Utd semi but ended up selling the ticket I had got, can I remember those towers ...... nope Edited April 6, 2020 by OwlsMan1961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to show that the World Cup was not the big draw it is nowadays, just look at all the empty seats. 40,000 (although does not look like that many in the picture( ...not bad considering England were playing Argentina in the Quarter final at the same time. But you are right, non of the group games other than those with England or Brazil came close to selling out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bored, we asked if we could do a bit, and he let us spend an hour or so digging the grave out. It was a surreal, spooky experience and Ive never been 100% sure I didn't dream it because I never came across that graveyard again. So it did exist- on the meadows at the back of Shirecliffe school (later Herries school). In reality the power station was about a mile from Hillsborough stadium. Think the Leeds v Man U Kop photo was taken with a telescopic lens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
