Forged in Rum
My son is a die hard Blade, junior blade from birth, season ticket holder since 6 years old and spends most of his school time arguing with/laughing at his Leeds fan mates and plastic fans of Liverpool /Man City etc.
He can often be found playing football in a Sunderland kit and wanting them to win when they're not playing the Blades (he was Blades mascot for the boxing day match against them at BDTBL).
His mum is a Makem and his gran buys him a Sunderland kit every year in the hope he'll change his allegiance.
Each summer he goes to the academy of light in his Blades kit for the summer schools. Each year comes back with many medals and for the last 3 years the trophies for best player and best attitude.
He has an affinity for SAFC but he is a Blades fan without a shadow of a doubt.
There's a photo of me wearing a Leeds Utd shirt in the seventies which got brought out at my wedding by my Leeds Utd supporting best man with the help of my Blades fan dad. Much confusion from the Internet Blades teammates who also attended the wedding. Nick Montgomery also turned up (which was nice!) as his mum & dad were there too.
There's also a photo of me wearing a Leeds Utd hat and a Sheffield United scarf at the same time from around the same period (pre half & half scarves). We grew up at the foot of Ilkley Moor and most supported Leeds Utd or Bradford City there.
Not sure where I'm going with this, but I thought it best to put it out there in case one of my mates decides to chirp up in the future. Might save a thread.
Many of my mates had sisters, And I had many of my mates sisters!
Up The Blades!
