Udinese Worst Night At The Lane Ever?

[originaltrueblade]

With Inter Milan coming to the Lane. It reminded me of one of the worst nights at the Lane, never seen such a dirty side, at least Charlie Hartfield gave them something to remember us by ...Who remembers that night?

 

[Bath Blade]

Was that the match where we had most of the team sent off?

It was...Charlie Hatfield and Carl Bradshaw had enough of the dirty play and decided to take them on and I don't mean football wise...Anglo Italian Cup as I recall

[CarlingBlade]

I was there, 4 sent off and Bassett also sent off.

 

[dingledog]

What a game, or should that be battle. Happy days.

Mad night

For worst night I raise you Port Vale 1999. And Burton 2016

 

[originaltrueblade]

Charlie Hartfield< Nathan Blake, Glyn Hodges and Dave Bassett all were sent off that night. Amazingly they only had one sent off...We lost 1-2 that Cup was a farce.

Can you not remember Southend in August 2016?

 

[Eggman1889]

That was the first game I went to with just me and my brother (no adult supervision). We sat on the Bramall Lane lower and some bloke complained that he could have been at home “seeing if Deirdre in Corry got her leg over”! And that was the highlight of the game.

Was there and remember all the sendings off and seem to remember one of their goals was a cracking overhead kick?

Check out this blog which gives an interesting view of the Udinese visit, although not so much about the 'action'.

We left early the one single time ever in my lifetime of attending the Lane...

I say left early, what this actually meant was standing on the South Stand walkway and watching til the final whistle near the exit.

That told em!

You’ve not done that until you’ve stood there mouthing obscenities at no one in particular about never ‘f**king’ coming back.

Not that I know of anyone who’s done this

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

They scored a brilliant goal that was grudgingly applauded by the home fans if I remember.

Was it an overhead kick.... This was my first blades game, I don't remember too much as I was only 8...

Would the Walsall match in 1981 be the worst ever?

 

[Digger]

I was there in the Bramall Lane lower. Barmy night indeed but interesting for me because Udinese are my favourite foreign team. I have 6 or 7 shirts and started "following" them after they signed Zico (he was the inferior Brazilian version of TC for you young ones).
They have had other half decent players on their books.
Dion Zoff.
Alexis Sanchez.
Oliver Bierhoff.
Stephen Appiah.
Di Natalie.
Always seemed to have dodgy owners/directors and play in stripes...no wonder I was attracted.

Used to have a player called Poggi and I purchased a match worn shirt . Quite proud when I wore it until some twat tapped me on the shoulder and said "yes, you are". Twat.

I was there . I remember my mate saying see that flag over there (away end) in a minute a thousand udinese fans are gonna jump out from behind it haha

"following" them after they signed Zico

They signed Michael Lake????? Really.

 

[metalblade]

Is it right the play at Vicarage Road now under the guise of Watford?

I once had an argument with someone who was convinced I was mistaken about seeing Udinese at the Lane as ‘they wouldn’t have been in Serie B’.

If I remember correctly, in the Anglo-Italian Cup you had an Italian ref for the games in England and an English ref for the games in Italy. The ref seemed to be very biased as Udinese played like modern South America teams, they fell over as soon as they were touched.

It wasn’t the worst game at the Lane, nor was it the weirdest, surely that has to be the Battle of Bramall Lane?

I repressed it.

 

[DI36O]

I remember this tournament existing, never went to one of the games sadly so looked it up out of interest...

The final of that season saw Oliver Bierhoff's Ascoli defeated by Notts County, managed by Howard Kendall and featuring Shaun Murphy, Chris Short, Paul Devlin and goalscorer Tony Agana. Never realised we had so much in common in this period.

For those that missed it or were too young, they made Columbia look like a proper set of pansies

Not a night match.

Worst night? Feb 7, 2009 when that cunt Blackwell let Sheffield Wednesday do the double over us for the first - and only - time. The sight of Brian Laws running down the touchline holding a blue & white scarf aloft at FT made me retch,

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

Yes overhead kick. To be honest a lot of what went off in that game would probably seem quiet normal by today's standards
