We were lucky to get the penalty! When Roger Kirkpatrick came over to the linesman, look at TC and Doyle having a little tussle that ended quickly and then TC asked Dearden "what was the pen for?"

....and the first time ever a Sheffield United shirt included black. It's been general gloom ever since.
Ban the black; red and white only!

It was also Jimmy Sirrel's first home game as manager.

There's some bloody appalling defending in that game. You can see why we got relegated.
That Guthrie bloke up front looks good though

"........Big Jim Holton's after you"
That chant about the erstwhile Man Utd and Scotland defender is one of the first football chants to penetrate my consciousness when I was about 7 along with the slightyly more racy
"Georgie Best, superstar
Wears frilly knickers and he wears a bra..."

Didn't realise we nicked the Chris Guthrie chant from someone else. I remember that George Best chant too, and something about walking down Shoreham street swinging a chain - must be an early BBC song ???

Shoreham Republican Army ?? lol that's my guess
Another chant based on 70's politics was "Sheffield. United. Will never be defeated", "Sheffield" replacing the "the workers" heard on many a picket line and demo in those days.
The SUFC version was apparently first heard at the game at Stoke on 10/9/77. We lost 4-0.
The most appalling defending is at 1.03 when McAlistair parries a shot from Hartford and two Man City players rush in to to the rebound, whereas, our two centre backs (Colquhoun and Flynn?) are just stood there apparently saying "woow, good shot Asa...oh well saved Tom... but he must score now from the rebound.... sorry, are we supposed to do something?"
It was carries a handbag and wears a bra. You probably just wanted to hear the word knickers

Actually, the one the kids sang at my school was knickers. It was only later I found out the original that the original version was "walks like a woman and he wears a bra". Your handbag one is a third version
Oh I agree, but Heeley Bank Infant School wasn't an intellectual powerhouse...

Mine was the grown up version... I was 12.
Everytime we conceded the first chant was 'your gonna get your fucking heads kicked in' don't think we were unique with that one though

Oh yes, I remember that well...
The alternative (to the same tune) was "you're going home in a Sheffield amblance", which I always thought was a bit strange, as if they were in a Sheffield ambulance they would be going to a Sheffield hospital and not home at all
Also common after conceding (to the tune of Tom Hark) was...
"The [insert name of opponent] sing
I don't know why
Cos after the match
They're gonna die"
Football fans were sensitive chaps in those days....

Best got that, a few years ago. He'd turned up for the afternoon's work on Gillette Soccer Saturday doing the usual crap the Messers Thompson, Merson and whoever do these days and crossed the car park where the Blades Fans on Soccer AM were lining up to take their 'Road to Wembley' penalties or summat.
They instantly sparked up with "Gerogie Best, Superstar!" and he stood there, stony faced and took the whole song square in the face as a the camera panned round onto him!

Dearden was a winger when he came to us from Chester. Harris didnt think Tudor was his ideal "holding up the ball" striker so he tried to play Dearden up front in Sept 1970 and then he was happy with him being the main striker

He scored over 20 league goals in the 1972-73 season. I think since the war, Doc Pace (1961-62) , Mick Jones (1965-66) and Brian Deane (1990-91), were the only other three to have scored at least 20 league goals in the top flight for the Blades
