Salmons. August 1971.

A few months later Ball moved to Arsenal

Graham was left back, played for England and Castle Market Rovers, Sir Len was right back. Different kind of players but both excellent. As was Cec Coldwell who Len took over from. Saw his first game against Leyton Orient alongside fellow debutant Bernard Shaw.

Now, now, sampylad , what's all this stuff from the Star? Has nobody told you it's institutionally biased against United?

Just imagine what a player TC would be today playing on todays pitches rather than the mud baths at that time.

The game against Orient was a meaningless end-of-season game, but it really felt like a big moment - the hand-over from one generation to the next. Both youngsters looked outstandingly good. Have there been other similar occasions? Tongue, Jags and Monty must have made their debuts close together. There is something special about a group of youngsters emerging together. Except when you sell them...

Who knew Rick Parfitt played for us?

Also a cautionary tale, when you're selecting a bowl to cut your fringe with, use the straight one made in a factory, not the one your weird aunty made on her pottery retreat.

Would you rate Graham Shaw above Len Badger ?

Sorry missed your post initially. Yes I would but the margin is small. Both were class acts and a pleasure to watch and if asked to pick my all time Blades team they would both be in. It's subjective, just my opinion and if there has to be a definitive reason then five full international caps.
