Have recently set up a new X/Twitter account to showcase some historic players, key games and other facts about Blades and Bramall Lane.

Appreciate this isn’t for everyone but if you like a fact feel free to give BladesArchives a follow on X/Twitter



Wanted another side project after trying to track down all Sheffield United Goalkeepers since 1889!

Must have been taken late November that photo

Thought this was a nice one to cheer us up after yesterday’s postponement and a fair few of us heading back to work after Christmas this morning…

Latest throwback is 1967… Wasn’t my era but having done some digging into this it feels like the 60s version of selling Deane & Fjørtoft although granted Jones & Birchenall weren’t sold on the same day!

Arsenal went on to win both cups in the 1992/1993 season and finish 10th in the Premier League with 56 points. Blades finished in 14th place on 52 points.

19 years have flown by for this one…

Would have been nice to see Quinny on the pitch for Mansfield last week but believe he left them at the end of last season.

I was there. Went back to University that morning after the Christmas hols, dumped my stuff and trained straight down to London. Arsenal had the mural at the Clock End.

It was a good point although we were still in trouble at that point. I well remember singing "And now you're gonna believe us, we're gonna win the league" after Littlejohn scored. The Arsenal fans were bemused, but then they have never had any sense of humour.

Was that when Arsenal were redeveloping the Clock End? Guess that's why there were only 23k there. They had that very odd painted crowd on a board behind the goal.

Of all Adrian Littlejohn goals, that is the most Adrian Littlejohn like.

Just to be a pedant, the mural was at the North Bank end

Maybe this is a route forward for Wendy?

Maybe this is a route forward for Wendy?

At approx 60m wide and 10m high, including all 500,000 fans would mean having to squeeze in 833 faces to each square metre.
