[Silent Blade]

Travelling back on the Leagueliner train from London after Blades 3-2 defeat at Arsenal. The Leagueliner train had a discotheque in one of the carriages, video tvs in a different carriage and on the return journey, the Sheffield United players mingled with the fans, having a chat and signing autographs etc. I am the small lad in the below photo and Ted Hemsley is on the left. This picture was in the Blades programme for the next home match (v West Ham)

[GreasyChipBeattie]

Yeah, whatever.
We can all copy and paste mate.
Here's one of me and a rather happy looking Pele after he'd just agreed to come over to our house for Sunday dinner. (That's me on the right)

I notice some of our "fans" are smiling even though we lost. Did you name and shame in the Green Un or are you going to do it now??

 

[Blade82]

if they had to train it back with us after away games they would soon buck their ideas up!

Good job you pointed yourself out Pete. For a moment I thought we'd had Louis Reeds dad playing for us.

Heres one of Me, Mum & Dad travelling back from the 1901 Cup final at Crystal Palace.

Dad if facing Mum on the right, I`m a toddler out of picture, I remember Dad was fucking fuming we`d been held by Non league Spurs.

He went missing for a week when we lost the replay!

The only consolation was 150 loyalty points, and Dad backed both teams to score.

I miss those days.

If Silent hadn't got his scarf on, I thought it was an early candid photograph of Def Leppard.
Come to think, is that Joe Elliott and is Ted compiling the setlist for the next Dial House gig?

No, no, no.

This is Ted Hemsley you're talking about.

It's Timeform, the racing bible, that he's holding. The 1973 Cheltenham Festival is less than a fortnight away and he's deciding between Bula and Comedy of Errors for the Champion Hurdle.

Hope he chose Comedy.

Is that Brayford just entering the carriage?


On Silent's photo I thought the tall lad to the right of Silent was Steve Faulkner.

Nice hair. Just saying.

They wouldn't be playing in the next game .......it's a bit awkward with multiple injuries from training.

 

[Jostein's Bandage]

From the title, i thought we had made a new signing and this was about his first game.

Crystal Palace train? Looks more like The Orient Express.

 

[bornablade]

We've never played Leyton Orient in an FA Cup final.

Been told by a FB friend that the tall lad is from Darnall and was still attending Blades matches about 10 years ago. Dont know his name and if he still goes to matches
