I can only imagine short term gain was his driver. The ensuing frost bite can't have been much fun.Trainers? If you go out in that weather in trainers your feet are going to get very cold. I can accept that he might not understand the cooling effect of evaporation but surely everyone knows trainers aren't suitable for sub-Arctic conditions?
Went to the Watford game but the one above does stand out. Also remember Walsall away (4-4) back in the early 80s and Rochdale in the 4th division (1-0 Edwards) as being cold enough to snap ya bollocks offNothing surely is colder than Derby away in 2004, I think it was -7. Plus we were crap that day.
Mansfield Town late eighties,, Tuesday night game,, think it was when Brian Smith had his leg broken.. snow was coming down sideways.
Newcastle away 24th November 1993, think it was a Wednesday night, freezing fog there and back. Car park sheet of ice went arse over tit, great take away chinese meal, good craic in pubs with Geordies, Hammered 4-0 ,as Bassett would have said lucky to get 0, kept in ground and had snowballs lobed at us Happy Days
Fulham away one Boxing Day circa 1979 and Watford away probably early 80s in the FA Cup, we got trounced. There was a left winger we wanted to buy, who was at the match who decided against joining us on the strength of our performance, name like Callaghan. Come on Silent help me out.
Brian Smith broke his leg the following Saturday at home to Preston. The Saturday before the Hillsborough disaster.Mansfield Town late eighties,, Tuesday night game,, think it was when Brian Smith had his leg broken.. snow was coming down sideways.
Was it Jan 87? Friday night game. Andy Gray injured his head on the frozen pitch so the ref called it off at half-time. There were only about 1,000 there and it was £2 to get in. When it was announced it had been abandoned the Kop chanted "We want a quid back"Villa at home, midweek friendly, can't remember the year, possibly in the 1980's, frozen pitch, match abandoned, so cold my bollocks had retreated to somewhere near my spleen!
I remember we played at Rotherham in a friendly probably in the 60's we invaded the pitch after the game we were shocked that the pitch was like concrete & slippy as ice, don't know how the players stood upSeeing the comment box comments got me thinking about the coldest match that I have ever watched the Blades play. For me, it would be a close run thing between two mid-week away matches. The first a game at the old Scunthorpe ground (early '80s) and against (the old) Wimledon when they ground shared with Crystal Palace in the early 2000's. It was that cold on both occasions I have just shivered at the recollection (true).
-2 degrees 0-0, I seem to recall. Well worth freezing yer nuts off forCrewe Alexandra at BDTBL on a Friday night, bit chilly.
On a personal note, I've decided when the yellow ball starts being used, that's when i'll not be going 'Commando'.
Saints away, Dec 2005, we won 1-0. I remember Danny Webber playing. -10 degrees. Very unusual weather for the south coast. Got in a fight with a Paddy Saints fan for singing Jingle Bells....in a pub called The Avenue, just off London Rd.
