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

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

I seem to remember an article in Shoot magazine about Trevor Francis when he was playing for Brum, he stated that his favourite team as a boy growing up in Plymouth was Sheffield United.

David Herbert pig centre forward was a blade, same time as Steve ludlam joined us on schoolboy terms, who was a pig supporter.
Both came from Carter lodge school hackenthorpe, where I also went, albeit a bit younger than me.

I played in the same school team as them at Rainbow Forge and as far as I remember Jonboy, you call it spot on. Although I did think David Herbert was a centre half. Once met Slugs in the Cricketers but he never bought me a pint!

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Wasn't Scott Sellers a blade?

Dunno, but his Brother is a pig.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Calls himself Chris Ronaldson though, doesn't like to draw attention to himself that one....

Any relation to Donald Donaldson?

 

[Silent Blade]

Dunno, but his Brother is a pig.

Scott is Wendy. speedymcgeady will tell you

Ex Newcastle, Man City and Halifax Town star John Beresford. Lifelong Blade.

big Eddie C sorted him don't worry

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Born and bred Wednesdayite,

His twin brother Glynn is the Blade, Mel is 100% pig. I grew up with them on the manor, Glynn could have signed for the blades but chose to be a butcher

Aye, no surprise, know his brother really well through Footy.

Stevie ran a few pubs in Sheffield when he finished playing. 2 in particular that I went in the Bradley well, darnal, and the cross scythes, Derbyshire lane. I never got a drink out of either.

 

[speedymcgeady]

Juan Veron.

Only because his uncle Pedro played for us...

 

[Cerberus Blade]

He used to keep an eye out for our results.

Blinding keeper.

I often wondered why Sterland played for us in "When Saturday Comes". I always thought he was a bigger pig as you could get. Dronfield lad apparently.

 

[Speedracer]

I played with Mel for 2 or 3 years after he finished playing professionally, & he couldn't be any more a pig if he tried. Strangely though he is a decent lad, sorry if that grinds but he is.

 

[Booker4]

Jack Marriot from Peterborough is supposed to be a Blade isn't he?! I'm hoping though that next season he'll not be one that never played for us though!

 

[Sean Thornton]

Now he is. Got a post office safe storage business I believe?

Told me asa kid he was a Blade "but then I saw sense" fat twat.

Joking aside he's a decent bloke an excellent company. Know him through a mate of mine who meets up with him a lot in Spain.

What a relief. Allus thought he was a pig though.

Carl Shutt

Good old Carl, never quite got my head round him sorting our holiday out in Thomas Cook! We lamented our misery against Bristol City all those years ago. Lets hope there's a glimmer for us going into the game and a happier outcome this time round!

 

[Demon Blade]

He'll tell you the opposite if you ask him.

Wasn't Carl Shutt the only Pig in a family of Blades?

He doesn't count as he played for us, but sure hes a Blade

 

[Jonboy60]

Worked with this lad in between seasons while he was at Lincoln. 40yrs ago mind, sure he said he was a blade.

Yes. Scored against us when we lost 3-0 at Lincoln in Sept 1982

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Kevin Davies, played for us as a youth but never a 1st team game.

 

[corkysbeard]
