I remember singing 'Sherman' non-stop at my first big away game apart from the Sty. Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

Get well soon Alan.

With his close mate Len Badger at the Sheffield Derby March 1966 where he scored again against Wendy (6 goals in his first 4 games against them)

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Get well soon top man, utb

 

[Sean Thornton]

A truly nice man. Went to Leicester one Boxing Day and took the boy who was quite young. He had a Blades shirt on under his jumper which Alan saw and came over, talked to him and made a fuss of him. Sat with us for a bit talking about football. Top man.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Don't know anyone who has a bad word for him - his record against the unclean set him apart, although no defence on earth would relish facing him and Mick Jones.

Top player, top man

 

[The Crab]

Get well soon Birch.

this was an absolutely quality photgraph at the time - shows how footy used to be

My favourite Blades kit ever - just like the white socks with the shirt and shorts

[Hodgyman]

Good luck for a full recovery Alan. Perhaps TC could kiss you better

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Spoke to him very briefly when queueing up outside the King Power Stadium. Very personable chap.
Here's to a speedy recovery.

 

[Partaloablade]

Get well soon Sherman.
Your partnership with Mick Jones and your goals against SWFC will always be remembered.

Thanks for the photos and brilliant memories Fulwood, great days, here's hoping 'Sherman' has a full recovery.

 

[JohnDenver]

They could have phrased that tweet rather better, but we know what they mean.

 

[JJBlade]

Wish him well
Hope he is ok

Thats when players used to kiss each other for fun , now they kiss each other because they will probably get a fat bonus if they have just scored .

 

[Harry's Game]

Many many years before my time but a well respected Lane legend.

Get well soon Birch.
