New: Dane Whitehouse interview

It's a fascinating interview, but really harrowing when he talks so long about Gareth Ainsworth.

It is really sad that there's so much bitterness and resentment from Dane about him. I understand why its there, but it really won't
help him holding onto the hate he has.

Someone once said that holding on to bitterness is like drinking poison and thinking the other person will get ill.

Well done Hal and Nick for a great honest conversation. And for asking tough questions about his dad knocking out
2 bouncers and storming the port vale bus. A very said situation, much like the hatred that Santos has for Johnson.

Still a top blades lad and losing your career in your prime must have been horrendous.

Well done for ending on a high with the shirts though Hal!
 
I used to see Dane, pre injury, in Parkway fruit and veg market. Top man he is.
It will be an interesting day out to Wycombe if they come up that is for sure.
 
wow that was emotional. Just like when he was as a player, he’d leave it all on the pitch.

Thanks lads.

Ps I think Dane’s favourite shirt should have been the one on the caption with the laces on it.
 
Thanks for that it cleared up some stuff about Ainsworth. I still swear at the telly if he is ever on it. What a player Dane was, top man.
 
Christ man, Dane was quality. However seeing him brings back memories of a particular match I played in. Grew up in Burngreave and we used to have a team of lads who played unofficial games around Sheffield and also in others areas of Yorkshire. Full on 11 a side, no refs though! Anyway, a mate organises a game against 'some lads from Woodthorpe', think it was summer 1993. Played up grimesthorpe. Didnt know until after the game it was the Woodthorpe pub team who had apparently been thrown out of their league on sunday for being nasty fckers 🤣. Anyway Dane was there, came to watch, and after about 15 mins ball went out for a throw, I went to get the ball and for some reason one of their lads came towards me with a look on his face as if I was gonna get it, so I lamped him one, he went down, just as I turned their big CB ran and nutted me in the side of the head. I go flying into some bushes and i look up and my mate's dad is slapping the shit out of about 3 of them who were coming to have me🤣🤣. Anyway, i was ok, got up once it had calmed, I look over and Dane is pissing himself laughing at it all. Game continued with them trying to break my legs, they couldnt get close to me fortunately. To top it up I score the winner in the last minute, theyre calling me all sorts of names and Dane is pissing himself again! When I think of the shit I got up to as a lad I shudder, so lucky I didnt get battered cos those boys were fcking nutters!

I wonder if Ainsworth would respond if you sent him Dane's comments. You could offer him a "right to reply" .

These interviews are brilliant but they always freak me out, I have a mental picture of all these players in my head when they're young men and then they appear out of no where like pensioners.
Top work though Hal.

Bumped into an ex girlfriend recently

Her facial expression upon seeing me backs up your post

Agree…brilliant interview....I felt quite emotional watching it.
The thing is this took place decades ago, plenty of water under the bridge now BUT you can clearly see it still rankles with him.

He's had 20 odd years to reply . unfortunately the fella loves himself thinks he's rock and roll
 
Just watched this and have to say from someone from that era ,
It was absolutely fantastic
Well done lads
And thanks Dane for being so frank in your answers , simple folk us Sheffielders
We don’t talk shite , tell it like it is you might not like the answer your given but at least you’ll know where ya stand
Or as our lass keeps saying , do you have to be so cutting in your reply
Don’t ask the fucking question if you don’t want to hear the answer
Dane/ Mitch and Bradders loved to see them playing together on the pitch
 
A painfully honest response from Dane.

I know you didn't want it to end on a low, but it's a pretty shitty tale about a coward who can't even say sorry to Dane in the flesh.

A fantastic player for us and the goals against that lot, were the extra icing on the icing.

Top Blade, our Dane and thanks very much for doing this.
 
I was at the Port Vale game but can't really remember the tackle. Such a shame for one of my all time favourite blades. Dane was right, we had an excellent team at the time. I said to my mate that this team will play in the Premier league. Sadly, most of them did but not for us.
 
Was at the match think Danes first touch let the ball run away ,the one thing that's certain ainsworth didn't think about the ball ,one intention and one only to do a better player . The bloke is rotten to the core
 

I watched this last night and really enjoyed it, cheers Hal and Nick. The 40+ minutes flew by and I gleaned the following
  • Dane's a decent working class lad who speaks proper Sheffield😅
  • Yes, we did have a very good team back then that was systematically dismantled
  • Gareth Ainsworth is a full weight cunt
I was at Port Vale. The 'tackle' was x-rated. No excuse for not contacting Dane in any way afterwards, the spineless twat.
