Pete’s Picture Palace · Posted: Tue May 10, 2016 3:25 pm Post subject: Sheffield United postcard

I just bought this postcard and it was thought to be in the 1911-1914 era, but I think that's wrong as I'm sure Jimmy Dunne is in it and he was 1927-33 at Bramall Lane.

I reckon it's him in the back row, 2nd from right.

Can anyone please ratify that for me?

Jimmy Dunne?

Can't help your initial question but why are there 3 different types of striped shirts

Good question Kenners. They changed from round necks to collars in about 1924 but other than that I can't offer much.

Hi Pete,

I can see Bill Brelsford, Bob Barnshaw, Albert Sturgess, Harold Gough, the great Billy Gillespie, Stan Fazackerley, Jack English.

I have a very similar picture in front of the same stand.

1912-3 or 1913-4

The player you have highlighted is Bobby Benson, who died during a game in 1916 whilst playing for Woolwich Arsenal.

Thanks Sharrow, great info. So the seller was right - never any doubt!

Maybe you can understand my confusion over Jimmy Dunne

Bobby Benson

Jimmy Dunne (when of Arsenal)
