Blades 0 Man United 1 (Best)
The match was the only time George Best scored a goal in a competitive game at Bramall Lane (he also scored one in TC's testimonial). In Alan Hodgkinson's autobiography "Between the Sticks" ghost written by Les Scott (a Stoke fan) who obviously didnt check out the facts properly. In the opening chapter Hodgy went into great lengths about George Best scoring against us at BDTBL but he said the match was in in October 1967, In fact the Manchester United goalscorers in their 3-0 win against us were Brian Kidd, Denis Law and John Aston.
Reading the below reports it does seem Best scored a lovely goal but not sure if it was the same as Hodgy described in his autobiography

Thank you to Silent Blade for continuing to post these items which make really interesting reading. One thing which struck me as odd was the reference to Wilson in the report by Peter Howard as “the former England left back”. Unless I have missed something this would appear to be Ray Wilson who went on to play in every England game in the 1966 World Cup. Had he fallen out of favour in January, 1965? His Wikipedia page makes no mention.

Even today we are still no wiser why Kettleborough was sent off.
Of course this was before red cards and I recall the confusion. It was the first time I'd seen a player dismissed.

I've often thought there must be Blades who can see themselves on some of these old photos. There you are ancient - you come up with the goods.

My first season supporting the Blades this one.
I have the programme for the Blackburn game, so my Dad must have taken me,but have no particular memories of it.
Still remember those match days though, waiting outside a pub, don’t know which one with other kids, with pop n crisps, whilst my Dad had a couple inside..That first sight and smell of the Lane, and a rush to the front railings on John Street, to peer through the gaps to watch the match.Been hooked ever since.

1936 FA cup final was the same. I assume they thought stripes were sufficiently distinct from solids.

Match was supposed to be played on Saturday 20th March but it was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. In those days matches that were postponed were often rearranged for 2 days later.

I know it’s a bit belated, but went to the home game against Man U, on Boxing Day, ‘64
Had to laugh at what they said about Best in the programme notes.”A youngster of great promise”
They knew a bit about football, our programme writers back in the day.And yes he scored the winner.
