Who was the manager.....?

[SouthEssexBlade]

Harris. Start of the 1971-72 season, beat Southampton.

 

[Cheets]

Same for me.2-0 loss to palace 1978

That was my first match! Imre Varadi's debut and Alan Woodward's last home game. I was in BLUT.

 

[Large Mendonca]

John Harris, can’t remember the game but somewhere around 1972/3

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Ken Furphy. Played Leeds and no idea what the score was. Just remember thousands of them on our kop. Then a long queue of them pitch side to be treated by St Johns ambulance when the blades came in just before kick-off.

 

[Rusty view]

That game was our lowest ever league crowd, 6647.

Wow,never knew that. And I came back for more. Can't really remember it apart from getting dropped off outside Bri n Irene's

If it was that game in 1987, Billy McEwan was the manager. McEwan was sacked after the 0-5 home defeat on January 2nd 1988 and then Bassett was appointed after we'd beaten Bournemouth 2-1 on the 16th January 1988.

Fucking Happy Harry Fucking Haslam was in charge for my first game, 1-1 v Hull, 19th January 1980. Dutch pornstar, Len De Goey, scored our goal.

 

[Lee Baxter]

Howard Kendall. First match was 10th September 1996, 3-0 home win against Chris Kamara's Bradford City.

 

[Bayingblade]

John Harris. April 4th 1982. Man U scored a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw. Currie was out injured

Fair enough re manager. I'd have been 8 so would be about right as I was at junior school.

 

[Silent Blade]

Bassett . 1987 1 nil win v Crystal Palace. School teacher was a blade and offered spare ticket in junior school. I was the only blade in the Chesterfield school

McEwan was our manager until January 1988

 

[Silent Blade]

Howard Kendall.

25th April 1997

United 2-4 West Brom.

Thompson was manager in the 2-4 defeat in April 1998
Kendall was the manager in the 1-2 defeat in April 1997

 

[Silent Blade]

John Harris. April '67, Blades 1 Man City 0 .

Blood spilled from the Kop

 

[Tyler Durden]

Thompson was manager in the 2-4 defeat in April 1998
Kendall was the manager in the 1-2 defeat in April 1997

My entire life has been a lie

 

[TTMeysh]

Billy 'Who' McEwan.

Suffice to say there was a gap before my next game, under Bassett.

Thanks for putting me right. The youth of today eh. We know nothing. My next was the 3 all cup draw to col u. Then the 2-1 league win over man u circa 92? Blackmore scored for them. Maybe Bryson for us in 2nd half?

 

[Eskimo]

John Harris, it would have been 1964 but I got taken to reserve games at the lane and County Cup matches before the first team games so frustratingly can't remember my first league game.

 

[Silent Blade]

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

Furphy. He became our manager in December 1973

[Silent Blade]

1972

 

[Silent Blade]

February 1991. Deane scored first. Blackmore equalised with a penalty. Bradshaw headed the winner after Booker's flick on from a Jones long throw

 

[Salopian Blade]

Joe Mercer 1956.My first game was at a home against Stoke City Reserves in the old Central League.Dont recall the score.I had just moved from rural Shropshire and went to a school briefly at I think Hunters Bar.In the same class was Joes son David.

 

[Bayingblade]

1972

Thanks Silent. Typo.

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

Home : Joe Mercer,big win against Charlton Athletic,think it was his last game as manager
Away : John Harris,Scunthorpe United at the Old Show ground,a draw i think,went on a football special train

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

.....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!

I remember this game,quite a turn around,i was walking past the cricket pavilion on my way home when the winner went in !!

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Ken Furphy....... Remember him?

 

[super_pig]

john harris

 

[FYT]

John Harris, not sure of the year, 71/72,? It was the promotion year from Division 2. Blades 3 Oxford 0. Hooked for life, I will never forget the first time i saw the pitch and stadium when I came up the steps at the Bramall Lane upper tier end as a 9 year old. Thanks Uncle Sid !

My entire life has been a lie

Don't worry Tyler Durden, Silent Blade has ruined many of my childhood memories also. I think Joe Mercer was the first manager I saw. Won't say when as I don't want to look foolish again. ☺
