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?

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)
