Blades v Everton 1974

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

 

[Silent Blade]

I was in the BLUT. I remember during the first half, several policemen running towards the BLLT to handle a big punch up between Everton and Blades fans.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I was 3 at the time, don't remember much of the game after the sesh on Lond Road prior.

not a yellow card in sight, when football was football.

Noticed John Mathews playing for Arsenal.

Is the sound fucking shit for anyone else? Sounds like I'm listening to it in the middle of outer space through a dodgy battery-powered radio!

 

[haich1889]

Love the old chants & forgot all about this one
"we'll see you all outside,
We'll see you all outside,
We'll see you all outside"

No doubt for a pint & friendly post match discussion.
I've no doubt at some point the Everton fans were told they were:
"all going home in a fuckin ambulance"
Or
they were all
"going to get their fuckin heads kicked in"

Brilliant

Noticed John Mathews playing for Arsenal.

And Don Givens for QPR.

Stan Bowles - great player in the TC mould, but nowhere near as good.

 

[haich1889]

And Don Givens for QPR.

& Both featured in our relegation 8 years later. Wonder what they would have thought if you told them how their future would pan out!!
Did they both play in the final relegation match v Walsall? Something tells me Mathews bottled the penalty which Givens missed, whilst TK was sat watching from the stand.

Pretty obvious the rot had already started to set in when you look at some of the players in that team compared to the team only a couple of seasons before. It's a sobering thought, and we can never take for granted the joys of watching our beloved Blades right now - fingers crossed!

They were a rough bunch those Everton lads

Are you having a laugh? Didn’t we finish the season in sixth place. It was the summer recruitment in 75 or lack of it that buggered us up. Guthrie grrrrrr.

We were already on the slippy slopes before the signing of "Wooden" Guthrie. The quality of that squad had taken a dip from previous seasons and become too heavily reliant on our best players.

We won 1-0 at Luton on 9/11/74. TC's goal can be seen in the 1974/75 video.

Chris (fu##in) Guthrie, our big money £100 000 signing after finishing 6th.
As per usual the SUFC Directors showed a pathetic, wreckless & unaccountable lack of ambition & inability to seize the moment.
