30 years ago today

[Silent Blade]

30 years ago today I (and most of you) saw the first ever Premier League goal. I hadnt realised the significance at the time. I was just happy that Brian Deane had just scored to put the Blades ahead against Manchester United. I am at the top right of the photo jumping up from my seat

I was only 7 at the time, and though it is 30 years ago (how???) that is how a game of football should look if I imagine it.
A load of blokes called Brian, Peter, Gary etc who looked a bit like your dad, Mitre footballs, black boots, players numbered 1-11 in proper positions, long sleeve goalie tops, keepers wearing the same shorts and socks as outfield players, proper nets on the goals, jumpers for goalposts, hmmmm wasn't it

Yep remember that like yesterday… Christ on a bike I am getting old

The thing I remember most about that day was the new backpass rule. Probably the biggest change in terms of actual gameplay* in my lifetime.

*VAR is the biggest change in terms of ruining the experience.

Great memories of the blades.
