dunsbyowl1867 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 Malcolm in Sheffield, 4th December 1964 In Sheffield Malcolm’s FOSIS host was Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, the Secretary of the University’s Islamic Circle. Dr Siddiqui, then a Pakistani doctoral student in chemical engineering, told me that there were many Muslim students at the university; the Islamic society had been formed prior to his arrival. Malcolm was escorted to Sheffield by two engineering students, Salah Shahey, an Egyptian doctoral student and the other from Pakistan. The Student Union had not been very happy about the invitation to Malcolm, but had acquiesced, and the Secretary of the Union chaired the meeting. The meeting for Malcolm was the largest that had ever been organised by the students – about 700 attended. Dr Siddiqui remembers that Malcolm was asked many questions by American students, whose accents Malcolm recognised. He dealt with the questioners partly by reminding them of some snippet of local his- tory! Another memory is of Malcolm saying that “Martin [Luther King] was nobody until we came on the sceneâ€, and asking to be stopped should he “go off the rails†which sometimes happened when he was tired.

On the pitch the world’s first inter-club match between Sheffield and the newly formed Hallam F.C. took place on 26 December 1860. The match took place at Hallam's ground, Sandygate Road. It was reported that "The Sheffielders turned in their usual Scarlet and White" which suggests that club colours were already in use.[22] Despite playing with inferior numbers Sheffield F.C. beat Hallam 2–0.

Guest bangtidy Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 SHEFFIELD, DECEMBER 22, 1855 [On Saturday Evening Mr. Charles Dickens read his Christmas Carol in the Mechanics' Hall in behalf of the funds of the Institute. Source; http://www.dickens-literature.com/Speeches..._Social/15.html It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
