Welcome Richard

[Tyler Durden]

Brayford, Fleck both even share the same spelling of my name John

It's a shame, otherwise you could've shared the other spelling with the legendary Jon Newby.

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Hoyland, Murphy, Ward and Annerson for me.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Good luck to the lad.

 

[Valleyblade]

I guess maybe mine would have been Foulkes

 

[1973Blade]

It's almost like he had that post saved in a word document in anticipation of a thread like this.

I have so many of those all ready and waiting!

 

[1973Blade]

I had so many constructive things planned this evening and yet I find myself trying to come up with the all time greatest Andy v Steve Blades team.

And you still missed the great Andy Scott !

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Ray Lewington, Ray McHale after that I am struggling.

 

[Small Mendonca]

Don't think there's ever been any United players/managers called Small. The nearest I get is Alan Wright.

 

[8lade]

Smith & Kuhl

Gary Madine?

Gary Madine?

How very dare you!

As a proud Dick, I have always felt that Richards have been underrepresented in United teams. Glad to have Richard Stearman representing us Richards next season.

With you on that one. As another proud Dick, we are criminally under-represented in Blades teams!

There was Richard Edghill and I am struggling to come up with others since I started supporting the Blades in 1980.

Despite a common first name I can't think of any well-known Blades who share it.
A quick run through the wiki list of players with over 100 appearances turns up Boyle, Johnson and Sampy, all around the 1920s/30s. Tom Hoyland, from 1949-61, seems to be the most recent.

I demand Wilder finds me a Blades namesake and gerrimin immediately!

Tom McAllister. My favourite Blades keeper.

He did Magic too.

 

[LenTednTony]

Hockey! The only one I can think of for a namesake (only 1 x letter off the sirname as well), but what a one!!!!!

Trevor Ross, a slightly less illustrious career for us.

The finest moustache ever to play for the Blades.

There was also Richard Harwood about 1978(?). Featured in a MOTD game against Sunderland. Video's somewhere on another thread.

Butlin (not Billy neither)..
