Peterborough 0-4 Blades U21

[EddieColquhoun]

Leon, Eadie 2 and Howard

 

[Akrotiri_Blades]

Eadie is looking like some player, he needs a cup game at least, he has good movement off the ball and rarely isn't on the scoresheet.

 

[Weasel]

Saw that scoreline and i was instantly transported back to April 1982 and watching United win by the same scoreline in a midweek division 4 promotion crunch match at London Road, where King Keith got a brace, Jeff King, and Colin Morris scored in front of a packed away end. Morris being absolutely superb. Was quite the night. Over 44 years ago now. Where does the time go.

We won 4-0 there in the 1972 Watney Cup too. I was there for both 1972 and 1982 matches.

And their manager pre game said we wouldn't get out of our own half!

And 4-0 in the return fixture a few weeks later.

Who did we beat 7-3 at home in a midweek match in early 80's?
Always thought it was Peterborough but apparently not?

 

[Chezzy Blades]

U21s now up to third behind Bolton and Fleetwood. Impressive considering how many are out on loan.

Northampton, March 16th 1982.

Northampton, March 16th 1982.

Oh yeah, thanks mate.
I don't know why I thought it was Peterborough.
Not that far away though really is it?

Fabulous night - one of many great adventures that season - my mate & I were working in Brum and drove down there in his newly acquired Alfasud.
Just great days as a 23 yr old

 

[Knackered Blade]

Ridiculous atmosphere that night. One of my favourites.

My abiding memory of that match was seeing Steve Charles, so wound up about the match and its importance and despite being 2 or 3 up, giving Jeff King? some excessive verbals, when he made a mistake on the edge of our penalty area. Charles was certainly pumped up for that match.

Had to go to school the next morning ( a bit hungover) and I swear my body was still vibrating. The noise on that end was, well, memorable.

Northampton, March 16th 1982.

One of the first night games I went to as a kid! What an intro to the blades
