Fastest sending off ever for a Blade?
Stephen Hunt. What a Stephen Hunt.

I was at that, frustrating game. A lot of time has been spent on Warnock and his contract issues, but Gillespie seemed to overnight switch from one of our best players to reckless money-grabber over that contract issue. Think he mentions in his book that it was around the time he had gambling troubles?

Also, Wally Fucking Downes. Yet another one to interpret Warnock’s “he went in with his studs, ref” dramatic reinactment as a “look, Warnock is telling his players to break opponents legs” fabrication.

Never liked Downes, even when he played for us.

 

[WalkelyFan]

Agree about Downes. Tosser. I may be wrong but I think Vinnie Jones got sent off at a kick-off. And Gillespie's is certainly the fastest sending off for a substitute - ever. He probably had a big bet on it.

Wasn’t Jones the fastest booking?

I think it was Man City away (1989?), I was there.

January 1991. Lost 2-0

 

[ForgeBlade]

I choose to remember KEEF for his goal vs Man Utd at the lane in 06/07. Although we lost, as someone who grew up knowing them as the "ultimate" football club, it was nice to see us ahead of them at the lane for a brief while.

So was I. He was outpaced by Peter Reid. Peter Fucking Reid.

There was also his late goal against Charlton (?) in the same season.

One of the best goals I've ever seen live - knew it was in as soon as it left his boot

Jones went though someone straight after kick off didn't he?

Well the defending for the first goal is absolute comedy gold, circus defending. Second goal was a lovely move. Keeeef was stupid but to be fair Hunt is a complete and utter dick head just wished Keef had knocked him out then it would have been worth the red card.

 

[coaxingstar71]

I thought Jones broke his own record for getting booked when he played for Chelsea against us in 1992? Fouled Dane after about 3 seconds.

 

[Geordie Blade]

I thought Jones broke his own record for getting booked when he played for Chelsea against us in 1992? Fouled Dane after about 3 seconds. Edit: apparently not!

Why "apparently not"? I think you're right.

 

[coaxingstar71]

Why "apparently not"? I think you're right.

One website I checked still listed his booking for us at Manchester City as the fastest, but after checking a couple of others, I realised I was right.

Carson had a blinder for Charlton that day.

Didnt Stephen Hunt knee Petr Cech in the head and fracture his skull? Glad Gillespie fucking leathered him

 

[diplomat]

I remember that. Reid looked like someone’s grandad and ran like it wasn’t as easy as it used to be but pulled away from Vinny with ease. My only visit to Maine Road.
