Enjoyed that throwback.

The next home game was my first ever match.

Dear Mr HighfieldBlade,

No he didn't.

I went home with one of Jock’s tie-ups from that match. Had to ask a steward to get it off the pitch near the John Street line.

SAG would be all over that today. Stands closed until further notice.

Greg Halford for me. I was right behind the line of this header as it headed for the top corner.

Amazing that, after our glorious win at Leicester on 5/5/90, it would be over seven months before we'd get another league win. Pitch invasions in both!

Wilder's only goal for us was the penalty against Bury in October 1988. Dont know why the camera panned to him after Bryson's 2nd goal, strange hand signal for his celebration too!

It fooled me, that's for sure!

Gil Reece in 1971 in the 7-0 victory against Ipswich. And of course any of the multitude of Mick Jones headers, particularly one at the Kop end on Boxing day 1966 against Man Utd in a 2-1 victory. Jones was at least 30ft in the air. Or that's how it seemed to my 8 year old self stood directly behind the goal.....

Blades 5-4 Brighton. Francis.

Another thing I always remember from that game was the kop chanting “Pearce lost us the World Cup” and seeing the look of anguish on his face..

John Barnes copped for it full throttle on opening day, back then the Lane atmosphere was amazing and folk didn't used to fuck off before the end of game to "beat traffic"
