Crikey..! You sure you're in your 40's..? I was thinking more Chelsea and Leicester City. Notts County were indeed later, so I expect you mean them. I saw Birchenhall play for Chelsea at the Dell.
Ha ha not sure I saw him "live" but remember him from notts county... Either late 70s or very early 80s Why did you ask?
Just that I saw his name in the Leicester match day programme photo and I wondered if it triggered anything in any of the members here. He's very much a name of the past, but at one point he was one of the most expensive footballers playing in the UK.
Yeah, I didn't know about the Sheff Utd bit either, until recently when I also looked his details up. But I do remember him playing against us. Think he may have scored against us too. He was one of those players who wasn't a prolific goal scorer but he made a big difference to a side. When he was with Chelsea he got very close to being an England player as I remember, and there were a lot of contenders in those days.
It was him and Tony Currie famous for their kiss. http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/00228/RSNS2248A_228573a.jpg
Tony Currie a great player who should have won more England caps. Was at Elland Road when he destroyed us....we lost 4-0.

Such a shame the total is so far off. At least the dogs home in Manchester raised 1.5M in two days at the same time! Still, we did our bit for Franny.
It's a big achievement...he just set too high a target. Glad he's back on side at the club...not that he really left us.
£182,000 plus change so far, a magnificent achievement. I don't think the actual target really matters, it's just something to aim for.
