Jeff Eckhardt, didn't he have a lot of games with Fulham? Paddy McGeeny? Another player from Jeff's era, also Russell Black and Don Peattie.
Wasn't it Andy Morrison who played against Pigs with Bullock?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Chris Bettney.

Foxy favourite Erik Tønne.

Andy Goram

Also, Andy Goram.

ok, i rememeber when we had dellas, didn't we also have a greek centre mid too who played a couple of games, can't for the life of me remember his name, anyone?? i keep thinking vellios?? but i'm sure that's not it

Dimitris Markos has a game or two on trial.

my mistake he was finnish, i was thinking of lehtinen i think

Ville Lehtinen.

I’d also add:
John Reed (the giveimarun of his day)
Axel Smeets
Bubba Yohanna

 

[Blade for Sale]

Seem to remember an Italian centre half we had for a while on the books but never played round 98/99.

Emanuele Gabrielli! Think it was a few years after 98/99 though. Seem to recall his debut v Gills when Pesh scored a hat trick. Had a steady game and suddenly went fucking mental and flew up the pitch trying to take on the entire team.

 

[Bedrock Blade]

Barry Hayles.

Last night I was talking to a Charlton fan who had no idea that Clive Mendonca started his career with us.

And I’d forgotten about Mendonca’s illustrious career with Charlton...he scored a hat trick in the play off final and another hat trick in Charlton’s first game in the PL.

 

[S64 Blade]

Can't find the last one in a Blades shirt (they never actually played for the first team).

That's the one. Got homesick IIRC.
I think he came with another lad who we kept a bit longer as he was crap enough to fit in at the time.

Remember when the players used to kick footballs in to the crowd when they ran out ?

My pitch late 70's was on the rails bang next to the tunnel on John St. I screamed at Lesley Tibbott as he ran out and he ran over and handed me a ball which was sponsored by Redgates. Look it up kids.

Despite being a bit crap I still think fondly of him.

Gordon Cowans was quality? I remember he got nailed on half way line against Villa in the cup put a huge gash in his shin all 4 sides of the ground stood and clapped him off.. never seen it before in my life I kno he was ex Villa but still. Plus he was only player I’d seen that looked older than my Dad

 

[Lil red rooster]

he was our best player for a spell at 40 years old

Whenever I do one of those sporcle quizzes about United teams of the past, I always forget 2 players who played a lot: Leigh Bromby and Bobby Ford.

Ford of course was one of the primary occupants of the midfield black hole that we had for most of a 25 year period stretching from Jamie Hoyland to Dean Hammond and his unseen work.

Other notable occupants of the hole were Brian "Fordy" Howard, James Harper, Paul "did he really play a full season for us?" Thirlwell and Leon "Emperor's new clothes" Britton.

He was a crap fullback but he would have made a wonderful 70s porn star with that beautiful hair perched on top of his noggin and that sumptuous tashe.

A failed footballer but I bet he was king of the porn ring back in the day.
