My First Son

[originaltrueblade]

was born on this corresponding weekend 40 years ago. United won 6-1 away and a certain sign that he was to become a fanatical Blade.

Today he is a fanatical Blade. Happy Birthday my fanatical Blade Son

Incredible that at that time we managed to beat anyone 6-1, let alone do it away! We weren't a very good side then and particularly away from home we used to struggle, so I can only assume Cardiff were either drunk or hadn't got a full team.
