I was there, the night Chris Basham did the Maradona turn....

[The Bohemian]

And the Blades absolutely smashed a Premier League team from start to finish.

Great atmosphere, wicked performance and a night that will live long in the memory.

We had 10/15 minutes in the first half with such a swagger, absolutely loved Bash's turn... He also took it to the byline and put in a decent cross.

The cheeky back-heel in the the build up to Reedy's shot just over from Cuvelier was class too

 

[Esablade]

Pretty special that.
Great night!

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

showed me that what ever happens he was going to enjoy the game

 

[Lord Bos of Eckington.]

Pretty special that.
Great night!

Confidence and quality. Yes another special night for the history books. Proud to be a Blades like we all are .

Pray tell, what's a maradona turn? Is it like a Cruyff turn except with more coke?

 

[Latters]

I turned to my mate after Basham did that turn and just said if that'd been me that did that they'd have had to sub me straight off because I'd have spent the rest of the game saying to anyone in earshot "did you see that?"

Not Maradona or Cruyff turn... it was a Zidane turn

Video evidence please, I could not go and do not believe this bullshit.

You can see it on SSN

Believe it. And get your tickets for the semi-final so you can see him do it again

Yes but you do it with one hand in the air,,,,,,,

 

[e17blade]

It's called a "roulette". Maradona did it a bit, Zidane did it a lot, but Basham's was PERFECT.

 

[madeinsheffield]

Brazilian Basham!

He embarrassed them good style and he is the last player you would expect to pull off a move like that.

Top lad.

 

[Sensiblade]

I've always known as the Rocastle roll because I'm sure David Rocastle did it at some point.

 

[Foxy]

 

[cooperblade]

Think the official name is the Ndlovu turn. He once did it when clean through on goal, on a hat-trick. He fell over

 

[jt64]

ah, so it's a Zidane turn then

Brazilian Basham!

Has he? Really? I wonder if he's as Long as Shane in the showers? Come to think of it, did Shane spend 90 minutes in the shower?

After a couple of games I described Bash as a non-footballer on what we had seen so far. My word, as a centre-back he is superb. Tonight was as good a performance as I have seen from a centre-back for a long time. He defended superbly, winning headers, tackles and blocks all night. He then showed his comfort on the ball (memorably on one occasion!) bringing it out of defence and getting us moving forward. He looked very much at home against "Premier" oppositipn.

So, top marks mate. I hearby declare you a proper footballer and baptise you in the name of....

Bashenbauer.

There can be no higher praise.

 

[Blade]

He must now cement his place at centreback.
Surely

Yep I was at Swindon and his performance was atrocious. But now, in defence, he is looking a star. Couldn't believe what I was seeing when he did the turn. Unreal.

How come when I go, Campbell-ryce's crosses bounce off Pluto, Baxter just falls over, McCarthy kicks the ball out of play for no apparent reason and we lose.

But when I don't go Bashams pulling these silky skills out FFS

Did not like him much at first either. Bit like early Coady. you seem to be making a habit of it though. Who was it last season?
Flippin love that Bashenbauer though. We have to develop a chant for that and him.

I really can't remember mate. Possibly Michael Doyle?

Who bloody cares after tonight. I love our players proving me wrong. maybe that why I don't have much of a go at them anymore.

Actually Zidane did a Basham turn.
