Nameplate unveiling, Barrow Hill Roundhouse café The unveiling of a pair of reproduction nameplates is seen taking place in Barrow Hill's café. 'Sheffield Wednesday' is a replica of that applied to the sides of GBRf's 66726 with no locomotive ever being assigned 'Sheffield United' (as far as I am aware). Notice the half-sized football emerging from the plates, this is not something found on the actual plate on the locomotive with it being a simple one-dimensional part of the casting. The unveiling was undertaken by former Wednesday player John Pearson (seen in the dark jacket and blue shirt) who also went on to have spells throughout his career with Charlton Athletic, Leeds United, Rotherham United, Barnsley, Hull City, Carlisle United, Mansfield Town and Cardiff City. However, it is his time at Sheffield for which he is probably best remembered. By his own admission, Pearson had never visited Barrow Hill before paying it some very complimentary comments regarding keeping the heritage of his beloved South Yorkshire (even though Barrow Hill is technically in Derbyshire!) alive.
