Our Holy Trinity.

[FTPE]

Just had a sneaky look on blades mad and a poster refers to Woodward as part of the Holy Trinity, I'm guessing the other member is obvious but who was the third?
And so I don't get a one word answer for not knowing my history well enough, have we come close to having 3 special players in one team since that, that could be put on a pedestal in that way?
Dean, Agana...
Borbokis, Fjortoft...
Brown, Tonge....?

That last pairing is a bit sycophantic, isn't it?

 

[ziggy4001]

Dack, Turner and Morsy

I've tried to reply as soon as possible to show I clearly didn't need to google the word sycophantic...
I suppose it is, but in my life time that's the closest I could come up with.

So, you've come back on here to try to covet favour by sucking up to me then?

Nice touch

2. Deane
3. Ndlovu

1. I'm not sure as I was a bit too young. Was there any/enough overlap with Agana to go for Hodges?

 

[vorpal blade]

Foulke, Thickett and Boyle

Foulke, Thickett and Boyle

Nobody's that bloody old Vorpers

 

[Tyler Durden]

Dane Whitehouse
Carl Bradshaw
Mitch Ward

Three of our own. And they all hated the pigs.

 

[Sheffsteel]

When we had Brown and Tonge I remember Warnock fancied signing Danny Shittoo.

Now those 3 in the same team would have been commentators nightmare ha ha.

I would have never put those three that high, but thinking about it you're absolutely right. Any idea who was the third in the Woodward era?

Was it Trevor hockey.

 

[Newbury Blade]

Badger, Woodward, Currie.

Len Badger?

 

[Sheffsteel]

We might end up with a new holy trinity this season.

Our own SAS terrorising the opposition.
Sharp, Adams and Sammon looked highly promising on Saturday.

 

[Newbury Blade]

Dack, Turner and Morsy

If that happens, just excuse me while I remortgage the house to put the lot on automatic promotion at whatever pathetically mean odds they'll give me.

My dad always rated Eddie Colquhoun.

My dad always rated Eddie Colquhoun.

Mine too, but if us young uns are relying on dads, I think mine would have said Hockey.

 

[wizadry]

Especially if anyone of the three got tackled by Bobby Barr.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Hockey deserves inclusion for that heroic beard alone!

When discussing God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost I work on a biblical timescale.

Mick Jones before he was sold and Billy Dearden afterwards. The holy trinity being the source of our goals..

Was Woodward the greatest Blade never to be sold?? I'm struggling to think of anyone up there who we haven't flogged on...

Sorry to go back in the mists of time but, IMO, The greatest blade not to have been sold was the greatest ever to play for United JIMMY HAGAN

Got to be Hagan but did we sell Nudger?

If we didn't could you imagine hanging on to the England captain these days?

According to Wiki we didn't.

Me Dad's fave, was Hagan.
I'm too young for that era but I bought that book about Hagan (written by former forum member Broomhill Blade) for him earlier this year and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Brought back a load of memries.
I did have the pleasure of watching Woody and Currie and the gang from about '72-3 onwards when I was initiated into the fold so I am extremely lucky on that count.
Only Edwards, Deane and Agana have come close since then - close but not quite (Deano, maybe)

 

[Gibbo89]

Hagan, Whitehouse and Deane. The club tried to sell all three to the Pigs and they all told the club to f**k off.

 

[FTPE]

I knew woodhouse wouldn't play for them, I didn't know Dean turned them down too. I only read about Hagan refusing to go to Hillsborough a few months back and I was chuffed to bits. That's one way to from legend to HERO!

 

[HighfieldBlade]

The trio (I guess!) is Woodward, Currie and Colquhoun, or so the chant would suggest.

Who's old enough to remember Freeman, Hardy and Willis?

As did Alan Kelly

The like is for Coloquhoun being in the trinity, the only Willis and Freeman I know is the keeper and the pirate wing back we've got now.
