I was there, on the Kop. The most unlikely Blades victory I’ve ever seen in person.
 
Slightly tougher this time around unfortunately. That season Liverpool finished 8th, 18 points ahead of us with a plus 4 gd. They are currently 52 points ahead of us with a plus 40 gd, sitting top of the league. It's going to be disastrous. If we were to win on thursday I'd say it's possible it could be our best ever result. That's the gap between the teams. Of the last 6 seasons that fans have been in stadiums, they've lost 1 home match, fuckin ONE. No harder place to go.
 
Anyone got any tales to relate from this occasion??

I think we had a similar result when being relegated in the late 60's 1968 in fact.

I remember it well. To think we still went down that season was gutting at the time.

In the home match v Liverpool on boxing day we drew nil nil but Flo had a one on one to score but passed it forward to Glyn Hodges I think it was and it was offside. I couldn't believe it on the kop!

I digress but I still reckon we'd have faired much better if we'd signed Lee Chapman in exchange for Deane plus the transfer fee they gave us. I'm sure they'd have still took that. Chapman would have been much better suited to playing for Harry then Flo was.

Flo was tall but nesh, sound familiar!?

Fjortoft was class though!
 
There was snow on the tops going over to Liverpool that morning (1994) and it was one of the coldest matches I've been to.
 
It’s amazing how much football has changed in that period of time. You watch the highlights and the style of play on show is a millions miles from what we see when we watch now from both teams.

Simon Tracey still my favourite Blades keeper while I’ve been watching.

No wonder Steve Nicol hates us, he got smoked twice for the goals on that day 🤣

In 1968, we were relegated, got through to the 6th round of the FA Cup and beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield on Good Friday.

Oh, and me and Cooky from Donny hitched all the way to Anfield and hitched a ride back on the team coach all the way back to Sheffield.

Now that's what I call an away day to remember 😁

Not of the game didn't go but was at the return match a few days later when we drew 1-1. TC scored. We took 3 points off Liverpool who were going for the title and still got relegated. Silents match reports and photos in 68 confirm the pain we all felt losing 5 of our last 6 home matches. The worst being the loss to Fulham the bottom team when we were 2-0 up. Not much has changed in 56 years we still can't hold onto a lead.

What is hard to take after all this time is discovering Southampton players, confirmed by Terry Paine in his autobiography, were bribed by the Coventry chairman on the last day of the season. They played out a 0-0 draw meaning Coventry survived by 1 point at our expense. They became specialists in avoiding relegation at the 11th hour over the years and you wonder how many more of them were influenced by brown paper bags.

Never liked SISU, they had Jimmy Hill doing the fckin boating song. The irony of SISU accusing SUFC supporters of cheating when we wouldn't play ball with their ownership protests. Horrible club in the same bracket as the Pigs when it comes to match fixing.

Add that to Deano's long lob at the lane where he's left flapping at thin air and he must have been absolutely rattled by us 🤣

Bruce Grobbelaar made several excellent saves in the Boxing Day game to preserve the 0-0 draw, less than 4 weeks after he had deliberately conceded goals in Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat at Newcastle.
 
Had a bet when we got in the ground. I went for 0-2 and my cousin 1-2. Matter of minutes before I'm ripping my ticket up and everyone's taking the piss. Double bonus when we won, he had bought the tickets and we still owed him, he covered it with the winnings and let us all off, was then and still is a top man.
