Your favourite line of commentary involving us?

[true99blade]

Basham arriving…
O’Connell coming in…
Fleck to hit it…

Just some relatively recent examples we all love and remember. But what’s the most iconic line of commentary for us? Motson on the TC goal might be the earliest example.

For me I just love the adulation and high pitch bemusement after what Duffy did on Bouncing Day.

Basham's arriving...

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

A quality goal

 

[jt64]

Forget the maths

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

It's got to be Basham, particularly as it was against that trash.

 

[Silent Blade]

A quality goal

WHAT A GOAL - UNBELIEVABLE.
Phil Jagielkas screamer v Leeds .

Good one on Sunday . " not saying Coopers the best keeper in the championship , but he's in the top one "

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

"The ball is so high that it has next week's weather on it"

I did chuckle when he said that on Sunday

Some of the best ones from the last 10 years.

1) Sharp, Billy Sharp scores for Sheffield United, the first player since Keith Edwards to get 30 goals in a campaign.
2) Inside and outside he goes, that's a stunning goal, how on earth did he manage that
3) Oh, what a time, what a place, to score your first senior goal
4) Basham's arriving
5) O'Connell coming in
6) Back to Doyle, out of his wing, world class, absolutely world class strike from Tommy Doyle
7) they've worked it beautifully, they've worked it brilliantly, Tyrese Campbell

Forgot to mention the commentator absolutely losing it when Browny volleyed it past Pressman.

‘Corner for the Blades, comes to nothing…’

 

[Pintor75]

A quality goal, by a quality player!

 

[Stanthemanfan]

Peschisolido...

A shout to Paul Walkers reaction when utd beat Liverpool in cup first leg

"This man's left foot is magic!"

So true, glyn hodges

Mine too! I was there that day but recorded the game and rewatched that goal a hundred times

 

[MadDad38]

It’s punditry rather than commentary but when Souness compared us to Barcelona after the Man Utd 3-3 and said he’d pay to watch us.

Sheffield United were like Barcelona at times, says Graeme Souness

Sheffield United were hugely impressive in their 3-3 draw with Manchester United at Bramall Lane on Super Sunday

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

“I hope it’s worth the wait here…………….
It’s rolled for Fleck to hit it,
OH!
A STUNNING START !!!!!
John Fleck with a searing strike, and the Blades inflict the first wound on derby day”

I did chuckle when he said that on Sunday

Paraphrased from the great Cloughie when he said “I’m not saying I’m the best manager, but I’m in the top one!”

 

[Inter_blade83]

Kamara in the 3-1. "He's sent Maddix out for the pies" when referring to Browny waltzing through their defence. Also calling the tackle an apology of a challenge. Lol

Forgot to mention the commentator absolutely losing it when Browny volleyed it past Pressman.

Was going to mention that one.

 

[Rusty view]

My voice has gone..I don't care

 

[McGrath]

A quality goal, by a quality player!

That's an iconic piece of commentary that transcends United.

I wasn't even born then, but my Dad would repeat it often and when we had a video player, he got a video with it on, just to replay it.

Forgot to mention the commentator absolutely losing it when Browny volleyed it past Pressman.

“Ooooh Michael Brown with a STUNNER!”

Me & my mate are on that video, celebrating at the front of the kop as 14 year olds.

"Nosworthy with the throw deep in the opposition half, hes looking to launch this one.....ohh dear, i hope hes alright"

50 years ago tomorrow!

My 1st ever match watching the Blades…..50 years ago.
It’s weird how time seems to speed up…..the older you become….that illusion is so real.

My memories were
1: The hero worship and fan confidence in Tony Currie.
It felt like the best player in the PL ( div 1) was playing for Sheff Utd,
2: The atmosphere on the Kop was really good and loud. The roof was sloping downwards so had the effect of keeping the noise in.
3: There were no shirts available to buy/ wear so everyone seemed to wear scarves with a few wearing rosettes.
4: Catching the bus back waiting outside Atkinsons on a very busy The Moor to catch a bus.
In them days The Moor wasn’t pedestrianised with traffic travelling on it.

Multiple scarves in those days. The wool ones around the neck & silk ones tied around the wrist.

Not commentary, but the 1988/89 video. Away at Notts County someone in the crowd shouts ''they're going through you Sheffield'' and we promptly score. I'm sure the same voice can be heard in another game on that tape. The home commentator wasn't the best, but his enthusiasm appealed to 15-year-old me.
