Who will be the first.............

[Jim Chimmerney]

Blade on 'Question of Sport', has there ever been one, Brian Deane maybe (whilst playing for us so not including Jags for example) ?

We'll know, if or when this happens that we've finally made it

Unless we sign a well known player this Summer, I'd say Billy is the current favourite but he'll have to score a few goals this season first.

 

[Tunstall Fred]

They might use Billy for the mystery guest spot

 

[niktheblade]

Alan Kelly was mystery guest (whilst playing for us I think)

 

[wardonia_blade]

Tony Currie was on once. The mystery guest was shown playing cards and TC guessed that it was Stan Bowles, well known for his gambling.

United were on Quizball, the predecessor to Qos in the 1960's. Our celebrity player was Dame Isobel Barnett, who had no association with the club whatsoever as far as i am aware.

Mystery sportsman (yeah you know what's coming), Dean Hammond. The guests end up wandering around the studio until they bump into and end up feeling each other up.

McGoldrick.

Cranie is probably still doing public appearances on behalf of the club

Ah yes, forgot it went back that far

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Question of Sport? Didn't realise it was still going! Only ever watched it when David Coleman was host, with team captains Bill Beaumont and Emlyn Hughes.

 

[BettingBlade]

Sure I remember Neil Warnock being on it once while he was Blades manager.

Maybe I’m making that up though, happens a lot.

 

[WaveyDavey]

Warnock was on it years ago while he was our manager.

 

[bromtom]

Wilder will probably be presenting it, proper media darling.

JOC for Mystery Sportsman otherwise, Egan for a panellist.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I bet Vaughan has been on, he’ll be a Blade again next season now we’re above the pigs again

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Sadly,the obnoxious Pig has been a guest Captain,can’t remember if it was for Dawson or Tuffers.Can anyone remember the time he got the gig,interviewing the golfers at the Masters one year,very Partridge like

Jess Ennis.

Isobel Barnett was in Leicester's team.

John Short (Coach), Frank Barlow, Tom Fenoughty and Dave Berry were in our team in 1966/67 season (photo below) we beat Motherwell but lost to Leicester (Barnett being the highest scorer). For 1967/68 season, Geoffrey Wheeler was in our team instead of Dave Berry and we lost to WBA

 

[The Crab]

Warnock was on it years ago while he was our manager.

Best bunch of lads he'd ever sat with...........

 

[Silent Blade]

Tony Currie was a guest in Question of Sport when he was a L**ds player (see link below). I didnt see the episode and I read somewhere that he was a "Mysery Guest" on QOS when he was a Blade player dressed as a Navvy (in 1974, I think)

Unfortunately the episode featuring Uncle Neil doesn't seem to be available online. Anyone else found it? Can't see the TC episode either.

Didn’t Lady Isobel get done for shoplifting,it inspired Morrisey to write a song about it

Yes, she fined £75 for stealing a can of tuna and a carton of cream worth 87p from her village grocer. This brought her briefly back into the public eye; just four days later, she was found dead having electrocuted herself in the bath

Sad story,didn’t realise her death followed so soon after.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Charlie Webster,bet she's a Blade again.

 

[Silent Blade]

I hadnt heard of her until my dad showed me a newspaper report of her death and he was telling me that she was quite famous on the "What's my Line" tv programme and he said he wouldnt be surprised that the shop keeper (who had reported her to the police) would be feeling very bad about it.

 

[gavtheblade]

I can remember Bruce been on whilst managing us.
It was just after the farce with Arsenal in the cup.
Mcoist was ridiculing him with"brucie, take em off."

 

[iBlade.]

Keith Eddy was on back in the 70s when we was a Division 1 side (Division 1 was top tier back then)

Didn’t we once name a stand after her?

He's presenting MOTD2 next season, and replacing Dean Ashton on Quest.

I've also heard rumours that he's in talks with BBC Radio 2 about replacing Tony Blackburn for the "Golden Hour" show.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Is that pile of shit still going on?

 

[Harry's Game]

Warnock was on when we were in the Prem.

Most people who watch that show probably think he still managers us.
