1971-72 Nov 8 W 1-2 HT0-1. Gil Reece, playing No 9 scored both goals.
Interesting both teams played in their traditional strips, where as around this period WHU changed to their away strip at BDTBL.

In Majorca 40 years ago, I must have known life as a Blade would on the whole be a disappointment except for the odd exception.

In the 2-2 draw against Spurs at Bramall Lane dint Spurs equalise in the last min before ht and in injury time at the end of the second half?
One for the older Blades with all due respect of course. Newcastle Away did The Blades score in the last min of the first half and the last min of the game.I think
Do Pace got the goals.i am sure my late Dad told me.

I remember a match v QPR I think where we scored the winner with the last kick of the game only for it to be disallowed because the ref said he'd blown the full time whistle between the ball being kicked and it crossing the line.

5-0 v Blackburn in March 1971. 5-1 at Fratton Park in Sept 1970

Blades 2 Stoke 3 October 9th 1971. We lose our position in the top of the league

First game I saw us lose, having been to around 10 previously. Couldn't eat my tea.

The first cut is the deepest.

Thanks

Thought so

That was of course our promotion season

Remember the torrential rain v BB at BL - the Kop sang a song for every player in the team that day

Still rankles. Up to that point I hadn't realised that losing was an option

Interesting both teams played in their traditional strips, where as around this period WHU changed to their away strip at BDTBL.

Or….is it the 5-0 midweek cup defeat?

I think the return match at the Lane was during the 1972 miner's strike and due to the 3 day week and power cuts the game was played midweek with an afternoon kick off.

Billy Dearden hat trick with a 3-0 win.

It was a week after the Pele game at Hillsborough.

My kind headmaster allowed me time off school to attend both matches

Or….is it the 5-0 midweek cup defeat?

Good question.
Looking at the photo it would appear to have been taken in daylight rather than artificial light.
Both Blades players, played in both games, WHU players, obviously one known the other I don't know and cannot find any info on WHU players who played in each of their games played '71-72.
The other WHU player is key providing he didn't play in both games, if so it's down to the source of the picture.
Stand up ZLB, can you clarify the conundrum.
