30 years ago today

[blade too long]

30 years ago the league table was
No wins in 16
Only scored 7
Deane and Agana weren't firing
11 points from safety

Not even the remotest chance of survival
We were playing like a 3rd division side in with the big boys

But


We stayed up...against all the odds..and by mid April

Never ever say never

Only takes one moment of inspiration
Glynn only played in 12 games that season scoring 4

Previously underrated Veronica Lake had a big impact

Micheal Zico Lake

No he didn't. he was rehabbing from a broken leg most of the season and hardly played. He was good for 2 months the season after.

Yes but it showed players who had no friends like some of our present squad can and do come good

I appreciate there was no social media in those days but there weren't many voices on Praise or Grumble demanding for Bassett's head.

As Blades we were in it together and that togetherness paid off.

Nowadays however......
