91-93 was the years we should have invested in the team to take us to the next level.

91/92 we finished 9th and 92/93 we got to an FA Cup semi and then sold our best player.

Who knows how our history would have panned out if we’d showed some ambition.

We'd have found some other way to bollocks it up, like a Moth to a fucking flame!

History suggests you are correct. Indeed I suspect it is written in that world famous organ Encyclopedia Crabanica under the Sheffield United entry.

I never thought at that time from 91-93 that it would be the highpoint for the next 25 years!

Adrian Littlejohn used to live in a rented house next door to my mum and dad on Moorview Road at Woodseats with his wife and little lad. Really nice lad actually, very down to earth.

To be fair he scored a fair few goals in that period including a winner v Liverpool and scoring v the Pigs.

 

[pesch the mini genius]

my memory of Littlejohn is him being bloody fast !

loved the couple of goals he scored (inc one against pigs) with the corner , header by deano and his flick in by the post !

we should revisit this ... get JOC on the head and sharpy to flick in!

speaking of which when did we last score direct from a header/shot straight from the corner kick ? thought about this on friday night as we had another corner and couldnt remember when !?!
Was JOC vs Millwall at home last season straight from a corner ?

Think that may have been the last time that we scored with the first touch following the corner. Obviously we've had a few this season resulting from corners but with more touches.

Off the top of my head....
Billy v Brentford
CCV v Bolton
