Steve Cammack on the bench in order to come on in the dying seconds of a game against Leeds and crack in a belter of an equaliser. In 1975.

through the firework mist!
just to put it into context, Leeds scored early and proceeded to shithouse for 80 minutes.. Cammack scored in ET.. bedlam
my favourite Blades moment of all time

It's all about opinions!

 

[LenTednTony]

McAllister
Badger -Morgan-Kenworthy-Bolton
Woodward-Brown-Currie-Reece
Deane-Sharp.

subs /Colquhoun/Borbokis/Cockerill/lMorris/Edwards/Hatton

Bloody Hell Sitwell, that’s a fantastic first 11 and would only change Nielsen for Bolton. Love love love McAllister being in there!

 

[Guesty]

Kelly
Borbokis, Basham, McGrath, W.Quinn
Duffy, Hodges, Bryson, Whitehouse
Deane, Sharp

I like the midfield made up entirely of wingers! Very bold.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Imagine if the 2002-03 Michael Brown had played under Wilder in the 2018-19 promotion team.

He would have been absolutely devastating.

Mouthwatering.

Tracy
Kozluk McGrath Basham Badger

Deane Jones

I like the midfield made up entirely of wingers! Very bold.

I coudn't have a favourite 11 and not include Jock Bryson.

Deane Sharp

1 Kelly - who else!
2 Borbokis - class, free kicks, amazing going forward, slightly less so defending! Lol
3 Stevens - that was always the position I really struggled for a favourite or decent left back! It could have been Unsworth, but he relegated us with the pen and slid on his knees so that was him out of the team for me! Honourable mention to Dave Barnes.
4 Holdsworth. In an age where we were used to cloggers in comes Holdsworth and he could mix it too as well as play and he loved the club
5 Egan - best centre half I've ever seen for us (Jags played centre mid mainly) and then there's the song! It is a favourite eleven too of course!
6 Booker - no need to elaborate
7 Paul Devlin - probably the only Blade who will list Dev but he was unplayable for a couple of seasons and gave us so much quality down the right, cost us only £200,000 and still speaks well of us
8 Mark Patterson - this is favourite not best! He was a real fans favourite back in the day and really connected with the fans.
9 Deane - as Booker
10 Sharp - Until Billy it would have been Marcelo (again I'm probably alone there!). No need for further elaboration on Billy.
11 Whitehouse - as Deane, Booker and Sharp.

By no means the best eleven but my favourite.

I only went with Hodgy from what my Dad said. before my time as well, as is Currie and Woodward.

I have since reconsidered Jagielka, and actually I'd probably go Stevens now. O Connell staking a claim in the defence but too early I think
