I'm in that picture somewhere in the middle, Uraguay had two payers sent off as I recall. By todays standards they could all have been sent off ! Brutal match Beckenbaur was immense, was number 5 but was a midfield centre half.

Schulz was number 5 and Centre Back

Beckenbauer number 4 Midfield

 

Same in 1970

 

Became number 5 by 74 WC

8/7/66: Swiss "sex scandal" in Sheffield

Sheffield formed an industrial backdrop to something of a scandal, or as close as Swiss football has got to one. Players Leo Eichmann, Kobi Kuhn and Werner Leimgruber broke curfew after two local girls drove them around the city: “The five of us were squeezed into this Mini,” Kuhn recalled, “the two women in the front and the three of us crammed into the back. We could barely move.”

The Swiss press broke the story, players’ wives hotfooted it from the Alps and the Swiss FA banned the trio for life; they took legal action and the ban was overturned. Kobi Kuhn even managed the national team at the 2006 World Cup, and presumably warned his players never to clamber into a Mini.

never realised it until now that the germans played their games in a city only just over 2 decades earlier they had extensively bombed.

 

 

That commentary :laugh:

 

"Uwe Seeler ,battered and indestructible,  centre forward and simple, his very name's a war crime"

In the top right hand corner there appears to be a building with a similar central gable to the South Stand. Appears to sit in the space between the Kop and the South as it would have been then.

 

It could just be the houses on Penostone Road but appears from that perspective to be on the near side of the Don. 

 

Any idea what it was?

If that photos taken from the cantilever then I think that's part of Hillsborough Junior School on Catch Bar Lane.

I figure it was taken from the north, or 'cantilever' as it was then known, looking towards the south eastern corner, so did catch bar lane stretch so far down?

I think not - you're right, I reckon it's the houses on Parkside Rd or Winster Rd
