    Charlie used to take the mickey himself.
    One of his jokes was to a woman who was crying with laughter he said to her "if you keep doing that madam with your mascara you will be as dark as me!"

    It’s the Barnsley I remember grim and hard but it was same for everybody .
    Some great characters . We’ve come a long way as a town and it’s nice to look back and see where we come from .

    A wonderful piece of nostalgia. Thank you for posting it, old mate. One or two comments were somewhat cringeworthy, but that's reflective of the times. In certain ways it seems like two minutes since. In others, it rightly seems a lifetime since.

    You're welcome mate. I find Barnsley unrecognizable now - this is how Barnsley will always be to me. That buzzing market feel , busy town centre- shame to see it now. I'm sure new changes will be beneficial but we'll never get those days back

    A young Mick McCarthy behind Spud Murphy coming out of the tunnel. The players must have felt strange not hearing chants of "Iley out". Lundwood looked like it hadn't been touched since they built it. The market had only been open a couple of years. The number of people shopping there is amazing compared to how few people you see in town these days in comparison.

    Just spat my tea out. "And now I'm going for a ride with David and Sandra Hepworth". They're my grandparents, I'd never seen this! They'd mentioned something they'd done with Brian Glover years ago in the past but I'd never come across it. Thank you so much for posting it.

    I can't believe I have never seen that before either. I noticed at the end it was a 1976 Yorkshire TV production so it maybe went out on ITV Yorkshire and nowhere else, and I was living in Wiltshire at the time. Really high production standards - good sound and video - which is a big improvement on a lot of those 1960s-shot films that appear online now and then courtesy of Dave Cherry.

    One thing that jumped out for me was the short section after he left the cemetery and was standing waiting to cross the road. That was right opposite where I lived up to 1969 - two doors up from the Junction Inn. He then goes into the gym which he called Glover's Gym, but when I lived there it was run by Joe Doyle (unless my memory is fading!). The famous Barnsley boxer Shaun Doyle started out there and I got in the ring with him once for a couple of minutes sparring. He had just popped in to see some old mates I suppose. I think he was the British champion at the time, at whatever weight he was. Luckily he didn't hit me!

    Only living next door it was an ideal place for me to go training. Tried my hand at boxing, weightlifting and I used to throw a ball against the wall in the wrestling room to practice my flying catches. I was a half decent goalkeeper then and it was great being able to land on the padded floor that the wrestlers practiced in. Maybe if we hadn't emigrated to Wilthorpe when I was 16 I would have kept up the fitness training but I never went back after the move. Ludicrous to think of it now but Cemetery Road to Rowland Road seemed like a journey across the universe then! It would have probably taken me fifteen minutes or so on my bike, but I couldn't be bothered.

    Had to smile at Ashley Jackson's comment about Harrogate not really being in Yorkshire as far as he was concerned. Yeah, right Ash - a town on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales but it doesn't belong to the county o_O.

    Good watching this film anyway and many thanks to the OP for posting it.

    Closing shot, looking out from Cherry Tree pub, High Hoyland.

    It’s actually just down from Cherry Tree on High Hoyland Lane. Still the same iron gate on the field.
