  • The picture on the video is me with my great grandparents in 1964, this is by the side of Winster Rd.
    The road I started at was Winster not Minster Rd as I called it. Wednesday lost 2-3 not 4-2 in 1966, but were winning 2-0 and Everton levelled after Jerry Young failed to trap the ball.
    The ground is still very little changed since the 1980s when it was the Premier ground in the UK.

    Thank you for showing Hillsborough football ground and a bit of your life.
    All the best for you and (with some limits) to Sheffield Wednesday, a FC with great history.

      Got the wrong score for the Facup final in 1966, 3-2. I am going to add a picture of me to the video with my great grandparents on Winster Rd.

      Andy will be going to Bramall Lane first match of the season to show how they block of very road and have private security all over the streets. Not good for the residents, its like a war zone. Best Tim

    My spiritual home Tim , been going from early 70s to 2019 when I moved away . It has changed a lot in those years yes we needed a roof but it now looks like an IKEA store imo there was something special about walking down Herries road for an evening game and seeing that neon sign lit up ,the 6 floodlight pylons and the hump of the Eastbank. Still love the North stand probably the most iconic stand left in England and at least they still have kept the leitches gable on the south stand although not original i think there are only 3 left in england . Got to agree with you Tim all seating killed the atmosphere never the same for me PS like the wall art is it by Pete Mckee by any chance? Wawaw

      I am not sure of the wall art Jon. Best Hillsborough looked was when the North stand was just built and the Old Leppings Lane and terrace was in front of the South stand, before my time. I am still waiting for an apology from the people of Liverpool.

      I think it was very different before all seaters. It was as much about the people. Its now commercialised Leon.

      Yes my dad corrected me, got mixed up with the England world cup as I was 2 at the time. However they threw away a 2 goal lead when Young failed to trap it, I hope he wasn't your family?

    It's just one big rip off, everything's geared to to fleece every penny they can from the people, plus modern football's a massively watered down sport. I'll never go to a pro game again. Good video though.

      That is it Colin fleece. I have my memories and avoid the modern game like the plague.
