Mick jones

[ChipButtyBlade]

I remember Jones and Birchenall (Blond Bombers) both shoulder barging an oppo goalkeeper (with ball in hand) into the net at the Kop end and turning away to celebrate a goal.............shortlived excitement Ref blew for a foul

First Blades chant I heard.

 

[Lens instep catch]

More than one and different versions back then IIRC. Full version as per Molly Malone or just the MI, MIC, MICK, MICK JONES stand alone. The Hodgy/Lev Yashin different chant altogether.

Sorry probably shouldn't have tagged it to your post sang the Hodgy \ Yashin chant myself

 

[I should coco]

Not been in for 20 years. I left South Anston at 18 to go to Uni and only went in when I was back in the holidays.

My parents (both since passed away) moved away to Worksop not long after I left, so I've no real links with the village other than few mates parents.

My mum and dad still live there.

The last couple of times I've been in the Trooper, have been upstairs for a funeral and a 60th. It's still a good pub though.

This thread would suggest that there are a decent handful of Blades there, and I still know a couple.

His head was bleeding badly.

[AnstonBlade1]

Must still live in the village seem him quite often.

 

[VictoryBlade]

He had a sports shop in Maltby after he retired. Late 80s/early 90s. I remember him dislocating his shoulder (I think) in a Leeds game and continue playing with his arm in a sling - they were hard in those days
EdIt: Remembered it was a cup final and he went up to collect a medal with his arm in a sling not sure he played with it in a sling!

I remember that although he got subbed off! What a player though but as usual in those days we sold him to the dirties!

 

[232 Bramall Lane]

No, we had signed Willie Carlin during the week, a few days before Jones went to Leeds. You can see in the photo below that they trained together at the Ball Inn.

[silver blade]

Dislocated his elbow in the very last minute of the 1972 FA Cup final. He was still lying on the pitch in agony. The team had received their winners medals without Mick who was still having treatment by Les Cocker. A teammate got his medal on behalf of Mick. Mick wanted to meet the Queen so Norman Hunter took him up the steps to meet the Queen.

If I remember correctly it was Princess Anne who presented the medals

[Russ]

Mate of mine just told me leeds are giving our mick a lifetime achievement award,at half time on saturday anyone stilll remember him?
Never here of us doing things like that

There was no award ceremony at half time today.
Perhaps it might be another day.

I don't think Leeds ever got the best out of Mick Jones they didn't have a player who could cross a ball like Alan Woodward. Mick Jones had the ability to seem to hang in the air before heading the ball in the net. Selling him and Birchenhall was as bad as selling Deane and Fjortoft we never learn.

No it was the queen it was the centenery cup final
