Just before that Saunders showed his disgust at Dellas pass because he thought Dellas had horribly sliced the ball out of play but it was a spinning pass that kept the ball in play, quickly Saunders realised this and then ran towards the keeper who panicked and kicked the ball away for the throw...

Alan Biggs is a Chesterfield fan. I know this as his dad and brother worked at AGD where I worked

Billy Boyd

Attwell to be the ref for when we play Forest? 😏

Baxter played half a game and conceded 3 goals

Ipswich conceded 121 in 42 games during the 1963-64 season. Jackie Milburn was the manager at the time. In a train journey to an away match, he asked the chairman, John Cobbold, if he could provide more cash to buy new players. Cobbold looked through the window and yelled "have you seen the...

No, I didn't boo him but he wasn't worth the money we paid for him, glad we got 75% of the fee back from a club who will get relegation this season. DronnieBlade, you are the world's biggest hypocrite and a bigger cock because of your disgraceful posts about McBurnie and Clarke.

Loved Bassett but our youth policy was poor during his years with us. He did give debuts to Dane Whitehouse and Mitch Ward but both were signed by the club when McEwan was our manager. I didn't think much of Keith Mincher who was our youth coach for 8 years. I struggle to think of any youngsters...

20/4/1974 Blades 1 (Eddy pen) QPR 1 (Givens) A late penalty by Keith Eddy guaranteed us another season in the first division. I dont remember any of the goals but remember Gary France making his debut and after the match many Blades fans were waiting to see if Boro had scored more than 6 goals...

Didn't talk about that, Kevin's dad, Cyril, played for Sheffield Deaf and played for GB at the 1965 Deaflympics in Washington DC. They showed photos I had not seen before such as the one of him and Derek Dooley who managed Birley Amateurs, Cyril played for them too. I got Kevin's sister and...

He was our youth player but we released him when he was 16. I had a good chat with his auntie and sister at Farm Road social club last week.

In case you havent seen the below photo of when he was at Rochdale in August 1965

Bobby Robson wrote in his autobiography that he had never forgotten a very good piece of advice from Arsenal's manager, Bertie Mee which was "if a player, no matter how good he is, becomes disruptive in the dressing room, then get rid of him as soon as you can". Bobby Robson had a lot of...

There are a lot of of talented young players who lack the character to be a first teamer. I used to find it hard to understand when I was younger but usually the coaching staff get it right when it comes to releasing the players at this time of year.

You dont know what the arguments were about!

I think Wilder thought the same when he managed him at Northampton. Saw Roney arguing with a Brentford team mate after their last away game. Could be why he was an unused sub last Saturday? https://www.skysports.com/football/video/16426/13109780/ivan-toney-and-nathan-collins-clash-at-full-time

Brentford took the risk, did well but had a lengthy ban, came back but was dropped from the team recently. Likely to move away from Brentford this summer. I think he is a good player but I don't remember Wilder trying to sign him when he was out of favour at Newcastle.

I don't think Wilder was interested. He managed him at Northampton. Toney was a Newcastle player when Wilder became our manager. Toney joined Peterborough in 2018.

1936 was the last time we reached the final

Is that Laney Blade ?
