Happy 40th birthday Mark Duffy

[1973Blade]

A Blades legend who will forever be remembered for his crucial goal that stopped Wednesday fans bouncing. How we could do with a player like him today, who as well as creating chances, knew where the back of the net was!

Happy birthday the Duffmeister. You'll always be welcome at the lane kidda.

Quality how he got it from that angle. What a United team we had then.

Leaders all over the pitch, how we need some of those right now.

That team defined 'out-run out-fight'.

Many Happy Returns Mark.

It says a lot about our current plight though when we wax lyrically and have so much nostalgia for our very recent past.

Up there with my favourite players. My daughter when we managed to bag a picture with him . ( derby away) . Said she felt like she had meet her favourite rock star!

 

[Rodley]

What a player. If he had an extra yard of pace he would have played at the top level for the whole career.

Watching this highlights back brings a smile to the face.
Also chalk and cheese to how we play now. Speed, aggression, skill, attack, attack, attack.

Him and Ndiaye easily my two favourites blademen ever.

Oh Bash is heroic. One of my other faves. Ndiaye and Duffy were magic tho.

Van Aken in the background just adds to the delight of that picture .

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Has he got his boots?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Wouldn't mind seeing Hamer or O'Hare in the Duffy role. I'd say they both might be technically better or having higher ability but Duffy just fit into us perfectly.

Almost depressing to watch, we've regressed that far.

Tbh, the rot set in once JOC for injured and COVID obviously happened. We've never recaptured that magic since, and it was magic those few seasons.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

OMG we had four players in the box when that went in. What sort of sorcery is this?

 

[the young spaniard]

Great player for the Blades.Would love to have seen him have a go in the Prem,he certainly earned the chance.Says it all about his time at The Lane when folk still talk about the ‘Duffy Role’. It ranks alongside the ‘Fosbury Flop’ in sporting terminology.

Knock the rusty shit hole down and build it there. Oh and potentially toxic message warning, eat poo poo

With the exception of Iliman, nobody has run at defenders like Duffy since. Was hoping Gus was going to be that player, but he sometimes flatters to deceive.
