Who was the manager.....?

[derfblade.3]

.....when you saw the Blades for the first time?
For me it was John Harris in a home game v Newcastle. 2-0 down ,i think and won 3-2 with a late Tony Wagstaffe penalty. Hooked for life!

John Harris 2-0 win against Palace in April 1973. Billy Dearden scored and I think Jim Bone got the other.

Just look at that tooth. It looks like someone kicked his old one out and after a quick search, they pulled a tombstone out of Hutcliffe Wood and knocked it into the socket. Poor, ugly fucker.

John Harris
1962 FA Cup Quarter final v Burnley
L 0-1
Ball bounced off side of Ray Pointer's head and went in. Played with 10 men for most of match, Gerry Summers tore a muscle and stood on the wing with his leg strapped up, no subs in those days.

At least that was the first one I remember.

[Jon Bon II]

John Harris 1970ish. County Cup game against Doncaster Rovers. Think we won. I'm pretty sure that it was already 2-0 when we got in the ground. Next game was 1-1 against Middlesbrough and Hodgy was in goal. I remember that cos the highlights were on Sunday Soccer and I saw myself on telly - at the front, hanging on to those white railings behind the goal.

 

[10-0 win]

john harris august 1974 texaco cup vs man city - won 4-2.
