Footballers who supported the Blades, but never played for us..

[Revolution]

I was gonna say, who's ever thought that fat pig supported us?! I know someone who knows him and he's definitely a Wendy, despite being from the Maonr.

Micky Adams obviously and Steve Parkin the ex Barnsley manager supports us.

I don't know what he tells people, but Sterland was definitely a Blade as a kid. My mother taught him (and his twin brother Glynn) at primary school and remembered he was a Blades fan.

I don't know Mel but as I say my mate does and he can't recall him liking United but I'm not saying he didn't like United either to be honest, this is second hand info. My mate is from the Manor though and went to school with him.

Impressed if Steve Heighway is a Blade. Loved him in that great Liverpool side in the 70's.

 

[mancunianblade]

I wondered that too

Family are Wendy’s I believe. Never really cared for either though. Played for the mighty Throstles though.

Fraser Digby another Sheffield keeper. No idea who he supported though.

Played against him once at school.

[Kenilworth]

Ronaldo goes in the Railway?

Only if you slip him a few glasses of Lambrusco

 

[Kenilworth]

Paul Heald, gk ended up playing against us for the pigs but was a blade.

Paul Heald was a youth keeper with us but I can't recall if he ever made a first team appearance.

[CrookesBlade]

Karl Marx as well.

Certainly a far cry from the usual “I listen to anything really but mainly RnB” or “I cook a mean spag bol”.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Gordon Hobson, Lincoln City, was from Firth Park so he must be a Wednesdsyite

Blade

 

[super_pig]

Yep.
I was at King Teds

he wasn't as good as Stewart 'Scodger' Wilson .. Rowlinson and Brunsmeer legend

 

[Hillsboro Blade]

Sean Bean....he played for us but was most definitely not a footballer... does that count?

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Shutty is defo a Blade, remember talking to him and his dad in the Cross Keys in the early '90s, confirmed he was a Blade but never liked to shout about it when he was at the sty for obvious reasons.

Don’t think their Mel ever forgave him for scoring against at Lane for Brizzle City in play offs that sent us down

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Ha, missed all that!

What about Andy 'Bruno' Morris of Chesterfield fame. He was a Sheffield lad, but no idea who he supported.

Played against him & marked him several times ,fuck me it was like Gulliver & Lilliputians !

 

[Bladepicker]

Yep.
I was at King Teds
