A thread for insignificant one-off memories

[8lade]

After we'd done Hull 3-2 in the promotion season was following a minibus from 'The Lord Nelson' Hull through the traffic and some women was flicking the vees and offering everybody out, she looked alright for a 40 year old. My bro' looks at me and says, 'what's the matter with her?' Everybody else in the minbus was behaving, then the peelers pulled up and spoke to the driver! He didn't even know it was going on! Anyway she settled down.

Coming out after a match when I was a youngster (early 80's I think, but could well be wrong). Can't remember the game or the result. But can remember walking down Shoreham st and a house bricks went straight through the window of a house with an owls mirror on the wall.

In the early 90s, Wally Downes was on our coaching staff and used to crouch down behind the advertising boards on the John Street side for some reason. One Sheffield derby, Chris Waddle came over when the ball went out for a throw-in. The two exchanged words and then Downes did a 'wanker' hand gesture at Waddle behind the advertising board.

Remember this well and it was so funny. I was stood in John St terraces that season with speedymcgeady . Wally was wearing a Russian hat

Wettest day for football ever. Oxford October 1998.

Went in the ground and was given a voucher as I got inside. For use in case the game was abandoned!

Rained torrentially throughout the game. 500 or so Blades got soaked on an open terrace. Standing water on the pitch, but we won 2-0: first away win for 51 weeks.

Went and stood in toilets at half time in an attempt to stay dry for a few minutes. 200 other Blades had the same idea. Like the Black Hole of Calcutta.

Yes, you are very wrong my friend.
Early 80's is most definitely not young!!

Everton 2-3 Blades 1975. Currie scores winning goal.
Coming out of Goodson with brother and father, trying to keep a low profile with scarves hidden, walking down street father decides he needs to go for a piss. Brother and me wait outside bogs and mate runs by and shouts "great win" and is gone. Father in toilet for an eternity while we get our heads kicked in. Later, on way back to car, young girl with Blades scarf, holding hands with her father, gets spat on and called a bastard. All ruined what should have been a perfect day.

Video on YouTube for anyone interested. Of match, not us getting our heads kicked in.

Seeing the proposal memories reminded me of when Balls of Steel was filmed at the Lane when the Bunny Boiler was flirting with that bloke on South Stand with his Mrs and went on pitch at half time and proposed, singing very badly and booed off, think that's on Youtube somewhere and is piss funny!

Not sure which game but Walsall or Oldham springs to mind. In the mid 80's when they sometimes had a marching band pre match / half time. A blade sneaked on the pitch and started marching behind them. All the time playing his burger like a flute. He got away with it for about 2 minutes before being chased round the pitch by a load of stewards. Wasn't till he ran past me that I realised it was one of my brothers mates, ( you know who you are higgy)

Petr Katchouro scored that day? Same day saw at least a 40 year old fella with complete beard trying to get in as a junior - insignificant memories indeed!

He did. I think Dean Saunders got the other.

Me and a friend having to hitchhike up the M1 with two Huddersfield Town fans after the play-off final because our coach left whilst we were queuing up for McDonalds.

Our fault for being thick enough to buy McDonalds.

Blake scored 2 goals in 1 minute just after the break (overhead kick and then a bullet header) before Scott made it 3-1

Nathan Blake was a good signing for us. Dangerous and strong.

Any idea why he became such a hateful twat towards us?

Scored for Bolton against us at the Kop in 1996-97 season was the only reason I could think of?

His mum was a wanted woman in Crimewatch ! I didn't watch the programme that evening but read about it and Nathan refused to answer questions from reporters saying "I do not want anything to do with her!". Did the police find her in the end?

He got booed when he first played against us and never forgot it. Not sure why he got booed but Howard Kendall when asked why he took him off at half-time in his first match in charge at Ipswich said "I saw him do things that you should never see on a football pitch"
