Ken Monkou

[wardonia_blade]

I was reading one of the sleeves on my 120 year celebration shirt on the train yesterday and saw the name Ken Monkou. I know my memory is going but I would have bet good money that he had never played for us.

My record books are not accessible at present. Can someone (darren?) provide the details.

Cheers, WB

Erm what? If he did, i must have blinked and missed it. Maybe he signed on loan when nobody noticed??

 

[Blackheath Blade]

wardonia_blade - according to the SUFC Who's Who, he's not listed in there. Await confirmation from Darren.

Don't remember him playing at all. Was he ever part of the coaching staff?

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

I've seen his name on that shirt as well. I asked the same question, don't remember him playing for us.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

According to wiki he played for Feyenoord, Chelsea, Southampton and Huddersfield. I remember him at all this English clubs. No mention of him playing for the Blades.....unless it's a different Ken Monkou?!

Had him on trial March 2001 according to article above

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

Hardly counts as playing for us does it! Good player though.

If they produce a shirt with the names of all the triallists we've ever had, I am definitely buying one.

When does it go on sale ?

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Olivier Bernard was also on trial once and he is included in the shirt. As is Steve Howey!

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

Strange. Maybe he came on as sub in the WhoLetTheDogsOut Steel City Charity Challenge Shield Community Cup against Stocksbridge Park Steels.

Are Mel Shitland and Sean Bean on the shirt too? I'm sure i've seen those play in our kit.

Sad to say but that shirt seemed a duff bit of gear to me.

Best shirt ever

Ordinary shirt rendered little more impressive by having the name of everyone who has ever entered the S2 postcode printed on it.

Which is why I never bothered getting one.

Aye, Ive not see TARQUEEN on there!

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Regardless, the chances of us getting Adidas to do something like this for Sheffield Utd is very slim indeed.

Weren't they free

To season ticket holders yes, though if memory serves you could buy one.

I didn't waste money on that crap, just got a t-shirt from sports direct and Tippex-ed the names on myself. Unfortunately, I ran out of space when I got to David Barnes, but at least I saved some cash.

And it probably looked better too!

 

[Jon Bon]

Is Alan Whittle on there? Didn't we sign him and then send him back when his medical showed up a heart problem? Good job they saved the receipt...

I've finished my holiday books, so now I'm going to read my old blades shirts, and then maybe my empty beer bottles

Indeed - saw both of them. Bernard in our Greenock Morton friendly in 2006 (same day we had a bid accepted for Hulse I think) and Howey played in a friendly at Tavistock in 2004 - the same game that Noel Whelan came on, Ian Ross missed a penalty, and Tony Daley made a surprise appearance. Were Whelan and Daley on the shirt too?
