That was Burridge at Stamford Bridge way back when he nearly got hit by that decanter & had to be helped off the pitch wasn't it?

Upper middle-class bastards, it'd never happen at the Den.

I'm really not so sure I'd want Gerry Adams helping me, decanter on head or not...

Off work, post op recuperation, had a nosy through some old programs from the 70's.

With the tower blocks in Leeds giving big problems with the wind what was it like around the tower blocks in Sheffield?

When I lived in one when the wind got bad the toilet water moved that much you had your own Bidet.

From what I can remember, they swayed slightly. Used to visit a flat on top floor of one of the blocks in Norfolk Park.

Their careers did overlap whilst at United but buggered if I can remember them all playing in the same team.

Who are the 2 Blades in this picture?

 

[vorpal blade]

I just tried to find the team against Wolves but failed. Johnstone played 6 matches in that league season and Edwards played 3 it was presumably the very start of Edwards (of Nazareth's) career and Johnstone came near the end of the season didn't he?

It was a dismal season of course.....

You could be right Vorpal. And don't forget TC soldiered on to the very end, so it was all possible.

And yes, it was a season best forgotten, which is probably why none of us can recall the occasion. I think they call the condition PTSD these days.

Their careers did overlap whilst at United but buggered if I can remember them all playing in the same team.

They did on Edwards' debut in the FA Cup 3rd round at Leicester (Chris Garland hat-trick), in the 0-0 home draw against QPR (Edwards came on as sub), the 4-1 home defeat against Wolves (Johnstone scored with a header!) and the 2-1 home defeat against Ipswich

Trusson left us in 1983-84 season

Johnstone's last match for us was in the 3-2 defeat at Charlton (he scored) in October 1976
