To me.
48 years ago today I saw my first ever live game @ BDTBL.
Blades 3 - 0 Leeds
Flynn
Dearden
Colquhoun
Came down from Leeds with about 15 others in the back of a builders van.
I was the only one wanting the Blades to win having picked them as my team a few years earlier and followed them via tv, wireless, and newspapers, and boy did they deliver in front of a crowd of 40,725.
None of this loyalty points to get tickets nonsense we all paid on the gate and stood on the Bramall Lane lower.
My love of the Blades was confirmed and we've had a deep meaningful relationship ever since, and I'm delighted that my son continues the family connection having had a season ticket for about 28 of his 35 years.
The 8 hrs every other week spent travelling up to games together from Maidenhead for around 10 yrs as he grew from a boy to an adult (in years if not attitude) gave us unbelievable quality time together and a real bond.
This team has put me through all sorts of emotions over the years but the positive things it has brought to us far outweigh the days of negative emotion.
Thank you Blades.
