What a front page that is. I think we tend to put the rose tinted glasses on when we think of the past, but this shows things in the past, like now, were not always pleasant.
Lovely little player
When my dear old, slightly racist Irish nan first saw Thin Lizzy on TOTP, she exclaimed "Christ, they've got black people in Ireland now!"
Pickled !
Pickled !Great photos Rufus
How's your liver?
Black & white doesn't lend itself very well to tangerine shirts and socks, does it!
This colour. Dont know where we got this kit from. I was at the match but over the years I had forgotten that we wore this kit until in the 1990s I saw a photo of this match. Dont think the colour is the same as the tangerine shirts we wore at Newcastle in 1961
Thank you so much for posting this snippet of Blades history.
What a waste of talent.
Yeah, he was exceptionally poor in the days of some really poor players. Although I seem to remember him scoring in a 4-0 (5-0?) win against somebody or other.....
The bad old days, or at least a warm up for the bad old days, de Geoy was one of a few players in that team, I and many others were waiting to come good, other than floating in some decent corners, I can't remember him doing much at all, oh and no from memory we never scored from his corners either!
I might be miles out here but anyway …… late 70’s I think, and we played Barnsley away and the open away end behind the goal was packed. I was only a youth so fairly near the front. An uninspiring 0-0 if I remember and the only highlight in a shit match was a Blades player completely mis kicking a glaring chance from about the penalty spot. For some reason it’s alway Len de Goey who I think missed the sitter. Am I going insane ? (Radio …. for all you rockers out there !)
Once we went down to Division 3, any headline, billboard, or caption that described a United player as a "star" irked my dad beyond all reason: "They haven't got any stars - they're third division footballers!"
Tried googling it, but not got anywhere, hopefully Silent jumps in with the details,,,played away at Chesterfield, might have been the Anglo Scots Cup? Or a pre season game, weird kick off time, not a night game,, it being mid week and going with the lads from work,, seem to remember De Geoy missing an absolute sitter, oh and we lost!
Hope Mousset doesn't read that, he will be devasted!
I think it was Pedro Verde
That’s probably right ! I knew it was one of the foreign players. It was a midweek night match I think too .
Only memory of Verde is him scoring a stunning goal in a friendly, long high ball to him, chested it up, waited for it to drop and volleyed it in from outside the box.
What a terrible player - along with Pedro Verdi
