Hamer's Halfway Line Shot

[Carlton Blade]

All you young uns think we've had a better all round striker than Deane in the last 40 years watch these. Billy and Edwards were brilliant finishers. Beattie illy were class but Deane could do it all and frequently had to. As a partnership with Agana nothing else comes close.

He'd be the perfect CF for this current team. Except he'd be in the Premier League so we wouldn't have him

 

[Melbourne Blade]

It was 1992 I do apologise. I've made you all 2 years older! Me included of course....

Facts!

I know it was against us but the position of this free kick seems closer to the half way line. The camera has to fully pan out before you can see the edge of our box.

You can actually work it out from the mow lines on the pitch. It's bang on 42 yards which is fucking ridiculous. It was a great strike.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Glyn Hodges and Mike Lake liked to have a blast or two as well.

Two great away days .. remember the Notts Co game very well

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Colin Kazim-Richards versus Bolton.

There were no threads about lack of atmosphere that season

I always say it's the best goal I've seen scored at the Lane against us, though the Cantona chip runs it close.

 

[Silent Blade]

Best goal I saw until Michael Brown's volley against Wendy. TC v Liverpool in October 1971, 35 to 40 yards?

Same season as Deano, Glyn Hodges hit the underside of the bar from the halfway line. I think it was against Arsenal. It would have been a better goal than Deano's I reckon!

Hodges used to hit a flatter ball without as much loft. His corner were like that to. If he had put more loft on that one it would've gone in

 

[Summers & Pace]

Glyn Hodges and Mike Lake liked to have a blast or two as well.

On a side note, what a celebration of Lake’s goal. In modern day parlance “that’s rate limbs’ Although followed in greater numbers nowadays, the majority in my opinion are light years away from the intensity and enthusiasm displayed behind that goal.

Reght shot by Hamer had that gone in it would be up there with the greatest goals ever scored at Bramall Lane. against Currie and Woodward scored some beauties. Browns against Wendy superb volley high up off the pitch is up there as well.

We don’t talk about that.

First goal I ever saw. Not a bad starter.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Some absolute belters on this thread. I remain gutted though that Gunn just got back in time. That would have been an all-time great from Hamer if the keeper had been half a yard further up the pitch when he hit it. From the kop I thought it was sailing over until the very last second. So so close to something we'd have talked about for years

 

[GymClassHero]

Jags vs Leeds in cup

 

[Tickhill Blade]

Can't have a thread of screamers without Monty. Filmed on a potato

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Don

Tried to emulate the great Josh Windass

Josh Windass was also kicking up-hill , towards the Shallow end .

Imagine what a prime Brian Deane would be worth in todays market! he had it all, powerful, strong in the air, great with his feet could finish from anywhere, in my eyes the best in my 40 years watching the Blades

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Had Deane played for a top 6 club , he would have got ten times as many England caps .

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

That playing surface tho

Players these days don't know they're born. They'd be going down with knee and ankle injuries every week playing on that.

Bolton 3rd in the Premier League going into that match! Different world

 

[N20 Blade]

That's how you celebrate your team scoring, by going mental, not with polite applause. Ahem.

Absolutely, doesn't that look amazing at the Dell. Great memories.

 

[N20 Blade]

Was at both that Saints game and the Notts County game, that 91/92 season was amazing, we finished 9th and if the board would've had a bit about them we could have pushed on and been an established top flight club.

We went to Meadow Lane, there were thousands from Sheffield on that big open terrace. I might be wrong but we were dogshit first half then brilliant in the 2nd. I think all the goals were at the wrong end, which was a shame. Warnock was the County manager, think it was a night game. Strangely the reverse fixture was the same scoreline and goal sequence, we scored first when Agana punched the ball in.

I went to two matches that day with my Norwich supporting mate. Wendy v Norwich and then just made the kick off at Meadow Lane

Agree…….the thing that made me angry was how the media always described Deane as this “big powerful” lump of a striker.
When his weakness was he wasn’t aggressive enough and didn’t use his size as well and he should have.
Remember Bassett making a comment about it too about he needs to learn the nasty side and be more aggressive.

Deane was a big softy…who looked a bit ungainly but was surprisingly skilful and had a really good all round game, was fantastic at crossing.

He was aggressive at meadow lane once!!

Had it gone in would obviously have gone down in Blades best goals history. Gunn pulled off an amazing save.

Memories of Deane vs Liverpool from 1990 which is probably the longest goal we've ever scored? Deadbat correct me.

Hopefully the attachments work. Deane's goal is about 30 seconds into the clip. I was on the kop that day

Although Deano’s great goal was ably assisted by Bruce Grobbelaar, who bizarrely found himself playing at the left side of midfield.

Sat just behind him when he struck that shot, wonderful anticipation and perfect execution.
