King Keith

[Ricardo Mantelban]

As a child of the 70’s and 80’s one of my favourite players was Keith Edwards. Next week on the 24th it is 50 years since a young 19 year old scored his first goal for the Blades. He went on to be the most prolific goal scorer the Blades have known (post war) more than Deano, Billy etc. The only other player to score more was another great Alan Woodward but he played in twice the amount of games.
Arguments could be had about levels etc but Keith was the poacher supreme.
I believe this needs to be mentioned at the next home game and hopefully a proper invite to the game.
I hope there are other fans who think the same and if anyone has got the ear of anyone at the lane this could be facilitated. It would be great to honour a true LIVING legend.

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Could we do with him now!

 

[Richeee]

My favourite player

Keith Lemon would be an upgrade on what we have now!

Just before my time watching the Blades, but his goal record is outstanding.

Even if you take his whole career, not far off a goal every other game, based on 500+ career appearances. Shows the level of consistency achieved.

Possibly the highest goalscorer I saw at at our wedding reception, discounting myself

Penelope Keith would be an upgrade on what we have now!!!!!!
And she died last week.

 

[Woofbark]

What about Keith Harris. We could have Orvil on the wing too!

 

[metalblade]

Had the knack of scoring goals whatever the level, never really got a chance at the top level because scoring was all he did, outside of the penalty area he was a passenger.

 

[bladestrivia]

My favourite ever player for the Blades amount of times one on one with keeper he would score hardly ever took pens probably about 3 or 4 and that goal against Bristol Rovers wow ,at Hull City he went on to win golden boot with Hull coming 4th bottom

Keith Richards could also add some much needed pace on our flank.

How times change, wouldn't get a lookin in today's set up, too young, not good enough, needs to be loaned out then sold on .........

 

[Derby blade]

The goal he scored at Bolton when we lost 3,1 got us promoted if you know you know

Good old "Lazy" Edwards, who did nowt but score. Such a shame he never got a run in a good team.

I'm not sure what your point is here .....He scored goals at an alarming rate , that was his job .

 

[Super Furry Blades]

Boyhood hero for me ..Legend
Nothing more needs to be said.

 

[Revolution]

My hero.

 

[HansSegars]

Yes he was a brilliant striker and makes me sad when i watch cunts like Cannon who arent fit to lace KK boots

Seem to remember a lot of bottles and seats flying around in the bottom left corner next to the away end, of the stand we were sat in that day. All the Bolton fans rushing from the kop to that corner through that stand we were sat in.
Didn't King keef collide with his head with the goal post when he headed that goal in?

 

[Keen Blade]

The goal he scored at Bolton when we lost 3,1 got us promoted if you know you know

And he knocked himself out in collision with the post - a brave goal.

Sorry diode , I hadn't seen your post.
A crazy day at Burnden Park , I recall loads of us climbing over the wall , not to avoid paying but recognising that the turnstiles couldn't cope and we'd miss half the match if we queued

 

[Torrix1889]

Started watching the Blades aged 8 in 1980, Edwards was brilliant but my hero was Colin Morris. And as i was a young goalkeeper at the time, Keith Waugh.

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

We’ll start a Colin Morris post.

No point at all, my favourite player at that time even though he only came alive in the box.

 

[Super Furry Blades]

Blackburn away 86
Lost 6-1 ...Edwards for United im sure it was a milestone goal for him
I was only 14/15 ...Great adventure with my slightly younger cousin.
I always remember us doing the conga in away end after 6th went in .
