[Gin&Juice]

One of my all time favourites. Please don’t be true.

 

[Gavlar]

Fucking hell I hope this isn’t true….

 

[1888to1889]

No, no , no please don’t be true ffs
Feel gutted , pleas don’t let it be true

 

[Stannington Blade]

Everything in my head is screaming it can't be true. An absolute legend I'll refrain from saying more right now in the hope it isn't true.

 

[Harry's Game]

Devastated..

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

Stunned, it's been too widely reported to be false I sadly suspect.

Whatever the circumstances, would be horrendous for a guy that age to pass away.

 

[Groucho Blade]

This is awful, awful news. RIP Furious George. You’ll always be a legend to your Blades family.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Fucking hell , he was a talisman of that team, embodied everything about United in that period, one of our greatest, feel sick. RIP Furious.

 

[Eppyblade]

This has knocked me for six, absolutely heartbroken

It is with a very heavy heart that I reflect on the passing of Furious George, a player who truly embodied everything that is special about our club. George was more than just a footballer, he was a symbol of commitment, resilience, and heart, the very qualities that define Sheffield United and its fans.

For years, George gave his all on the pitch, never backing down, always pushing forward, and representing our badge with pride. His tireless energy, unwavering passion, and defensive grit made him a standout for the Blades. Whether it was during the highs of promotion campaigns or the tough battles to stay competitive, George was always there, giving 110% for the team and for us, the fans.

His marauding runs down the right flank, his crunching tackles, and his never-say-die attitude will be forever etched in our memories. He was the kind of player who played for the shirt and for the people who love this club, players like George don’t come around often, and we were fortunate to call him one of our own.

George Baldock’s legacy will live on not just in the goals and assists, but in the passion he showed, the moments he created, and the pride he brought to Bramall Lane. He will forever remain in the hearts of Blades supporters as a true club legend.

Rest in peace, George. You will be missed, but never forgotten. My thoughts are with your friends and family.

I hope we can do something at the next home game fitting for George and his family

Just fuck, I’m numb

 

[Kozzywozzydodaah]

No words

 

[SufcBilly]

Knocked me for 6 this just speechless

 

[Overthehills]

Only a couple of hours ago I checked the early team news for tomorrow’s England game. Obviously knew he had been injured, but haven’t seen anything in a while on him so wondered whether he was back in the national fold.

For me a hero, literally everything about him was Mr Sheffield United. I was gutted to see him leave as well, I felt he would and should wear the armband and be one of a select few to build a new squad around. I get the opportunity in Greece completely and how it would lead to a bit more national football.. I don’t begrudge him for the move in the slightest.

Early days but looks devastatingly true. Not really another other to say than tragic….. awful, awful news.

 

[BigBed]

Absolutely horrendous!!!
RIP GEORGE!!
That's for the great memories, all your hard work, the goals and the entertainment you provided us all!!!
You were already missed, but this is so upsetting!!!

 

[wavy-blade]

Tear’s , terrible news just awful news I am shocked and really upset by this Please be false

 

[raimond]

Whatever happened (and let's not speculate until we know) bloody awful
