Neilson says that all they are trying to do is making a decent living, even though it is breaking the law. Sterland had an ability like no right back I have seen before or since, to find his target with a raking ball delivered at full pace, and Lee Chapman was almost always on the end of it with an inelegant but glorious finish that became the hallmark for a dizzying period of greatness. There are shots of footballers in training, and then another local man who has been made redundant, Barry Pennington, goes into his back garden to his aviary.

She explains how she is dreading leaving school with little job opportunities and the prospect of being on YTS.Betty had worked for Footprint Tools, she said, but was on strike at the time her husband Ted was dying of cancer. It gets worse for Jimmy, Sheffield United and a now self-combusting Sterland: Manchester United go 2-0 up with a free-kick (that butchers some footage of an Eric Cantona chip). Celtic won the SPL title earlier this month with an 18-point lead over Rangers in second,” wrote Matt Bicknel in April 2012. To add to Kite’s sense of injustice, Sterland’s free-kick took a wicked deflection on its way in to the back of the net. Sharing a proud South Yorkshire upbringing, Wilkinson knew all about Sterland’s qualities from the time they spent together at Sheffield Wednesday, and for Sterland to play over 300 games for his boyhood club but still take on the challenge of Leeds United with such gleeful relish says everything about his character.

Darrell added that her mum had always asked the council to turn the garden of their Fretson Road home into a playground, which they never did while she lived there. At Wednesday he will be fondly remembered for, among other things, the role he played in helping the Owls to the 1966 FA Cup final, and the fact that he was utilised all over the field in a variety of different positions. After a cagey first half, the final burst into life with Jones’ fortuitous opening goal, sparking the ugly mass brawl that also involved both benches. Darrell today lives in Halfway but says the community spirit on the Manor, where ‘everybody would help each other’, couldn’t be beaten. There is more archive film, this time of old fine steel craftsmen Walter Berner, Austin Bradwell and Harry Martin.Quite how a football could be hit so hard and yet with such precision is still baffling scientists today and how Sterland somehow managed to get the ball to gather pace en route defied the laws of physics.
