He was on United's books and him and Nick Mallinder were the best players at Ecco in those two years..think Mallinder went to Rovrum but he was a big lad at an early age who didn't develop. Stainrod was a much better all-round player...still a 'Blade' though. I was there...the away end at Oldham would never have been allowed to be open if it had been given a safety check. There was concrete and rubble all over the bloody place. Not much concrete & rubble left after it kicked off. We kindly relocated most of it onto the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been trying to think of a match where Wylde got sent off since rob mentioned it and just can’t recall one. Perhaps it was having our one time hero playing for them that added to our disgruntlement on the day ? Funny how some things are as clear as day and other memories are just a blur Yeah maybe. Something made me think of Wylde and obviously the OP pic is TC so some tenuous link must be lurking in the inner depths of that gunge inside me head.

Helped tidy the away end up (way before Japan fans had thought of it). Good lads. What thanks did you get? away fan ban and no terracing at Hillsborough. Complete injustice. I can remember it unfold on the TV (Grandstand) and then huge outcry in the next days papers. Seem to recall it was a bit naughty even back in those days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldowl67 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Was only early teens and one of the early away games. We were in the seats down the side opposite the main stand and literally had a grand stand view of events . My memory seems to tell me there was an empty terrace in front of us that our fans used to get into the home terrace. Did this happen or is my memory playing tricks?

robbie Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Was on the away end at Olham that day, went on a coach from the Southey Club, it was kicking off before the Curran sending off, quite a mob of Wednesday fans on the Oldham end you could see the agro from the away end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justbeanz Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Had to have three days off work due to them nasty police dogs. As Watson says following season Wednesday gave the old bill a hard time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronfield Blue Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Not a good day. we lost. 1980 was it, ish? I remember Bert McGee on the megaphone appealing for calm, no chance. Big Jack tried, no chance. It all started with some Wednesday fans getting a kicking in their end. Next thing all hell broke loose. I'm sure one of the side stands was virtually dismantled. the club made money from all standing at Hillsborough being banned for 4 games, everyone paid extra to go in the North and South. Then we signed Stainrod............... what a t0sser he turned out to be, in more ways than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
