Thanks for your efforts Silent. I've really enjoyed these. The 74/75 season was my first full season so has been particularly poignant for me. Will you do the 4th Division season at some point or is that too much? Either way I really appreciate these so thanks Silent.

Cheers, I was a part time Blade between 1979 and 1987 mainly because I was playing football on Saturday afternoons so afraid I will not do the 4th division season

Friendly match in Kuwait

Al Shabab 1 Blades 2 (Field, Bradford)

I dont remember being aware that TC, Badger and McAlister had to leave Kuwait and not take part in the match but I remember the day well.

I came first in the Junior Boys sack race in my school's Sports Day! :) England beat Scotland 5-1 in the Home Internationals. I came home for the Whitsuntide holidays (dont see anyone talk about Whitsuntide nowadays!). Watched England v Scotland on MOTD that night. My dad spotted Jim Brown sitting on Scotland's bench but I missed that. Scotland's keeper Stewart Kennedy of Rangers had a mare that day and I was thinking that Jim Brown could play in Scotland's next match!

All respect out of the window - part time Blade indeed - what would the 1969/76 Utd players who often attended ☕️ parties 🥳 at Silent Towers think 🤔?

Shocking revelation
