OK, from left-to-right - John Matthews, John Cutbush, Micky Guy, Craig Renwick, Dougie Brown, Gary Hamson, Steve Finnieston, Paul Garner, Tony Moore, John McPhail, ???, ???, John Flood, ???, ???, ???, Happy Harry Haslam, Tony Kenworthy, ???, Les Tibbott, Ian Benjamin, ???, Mick Speight, Steve Conroy, and Cec Coldwell .... Some decent players there.

I think Tony Moore still holds the record for fastest-ever Blades own goal, something like 12 seconds, away to Exeter in the old Third Division. I think we went 2 down after three minutes losing 3-1 in the end. Not sure if even the present team could beat that ... but you never know, still some games to go this season ;)
 
FFS imagine travelling all the way down to Exeter to see us beaten inside the first couple of minutes........ Who said it was just the last 5 seasons the blades have frustrated the tits off us eh?
 
Someone someone someone someone Roy Hudd someone.
 
WimbledonBlade. I believe you're correct John Mcphail has number 8 on his shorts
 
Third from the end right hand side number 7 is it Mick Speight ?
 
Looks like either ?? Phillips or Keith Edwards between Benjy and Speight

Not Steve Finnieston, think it is Brian McGarry. Richard Harwood is second player to John Flood's left. Phil Jones is between Ian Benjamin and Mick Speight

I got the Phil bit :)
Was thinking John Phillips but knew that was wrong. Phil Jones. Right Back. That's who I was really thinking - cheers, Silent - as ever :)

He was allowed to arrive late for pre-season training. The photo will have been taken just before Gary Hamson's move to L**ds

Congratulations Mr Silent Blade!
You passed the observation test!

I was unsure, 78/79 or 79/80 .. Finnieston was 78/79, though for some reason I thought he was later than that.
Tony Moore, no body, no legs, just a head glued on to Garner's and MacPhail's shoulders. Played some matches exactly like that.
Only one goalkeeper, Steve Conroy.

Phil Jones either played in centre midfield or at centre back. I remember newspaper reports linking him to clubs in higher division and I was surprised at the rumoured offers. Think it was Porterfield who let him go to Boston United

Hamson's goal to beat the dirties in the league cup the year before. Screamer!
Watched it from the John Street terrace when I were abart 14.
Can still see it leaving his boot and have that satisfying thud in my ear as leather strikes leather and seeing it arrowing into the top corner, knowing it was on its way in. Arms raising to celebrate and go mad, jumping all over the place. :D

Last time I had that feeling was Che's second v Spurs at Bramall Lane.
Football is like a bloody desert these days :(

Could've sworn he also played RB
Recall him playing in midfield and makeshift CB but I have a vision of him running the channels and tracking back. But, hey, I'm not going to argue with your recall.

Just looked up in complete records. Jones wore number 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 11 shirts! Not number 2 or 10! Dont remember him playing at left back. He was right footed and I would have thought he would have been more likely to play at RB than LB!

Centre back.
His most defining moment for me, 1-0 up v Chesterfield, FACup at BDTBL.
Alan Birch got the ball in the penalty area, Kop End, almost last minute...
Do I need to go on!!

Ended 1-1.
Lost replay.

See 1.27 for the foul. Colin Tartt (Chesterfield number 2) taking the mickey out of John McPhail's protest!

A proper comedy own-goal, WB, about which I've written before. My post is reproduced below:

"The greatest own goal I've ever seen from a United player was Tony Moore's at Exeter in January 1980, a couple of weeks after the Boxing Day disaster.

A smallish knot of diehards gathered on the away end, the end we were defending first half. Exeter kicked off and the ball was instantly played out to the right wing. I think it was Steve Neville, shortly to play for us, who picked it up and swung in a cross. Moore did that thing defenders do and assumed it was going over his head. He turned his back on it and set off running towards the corner flag on our right flank, presumably expecting it to appear in front of him at some point thus enabling him to clear. There wasn't an attacker near him. Whether the wind caught it or not I don't know but the ball hit him on the back of his head about six yards out and trickled into the net with Derek Richardson and our disbelieving support looking on open-mouthed. It was our first touch of the ball and must have been all of twenty seconds in.

We were two down after three minutes, lost 3-1 in the end, John Matthews got sent off and had a Cantona-style confrontation with an Exeter fan on the front row of the stand as he trudged off.

It was a long way to go for such a miserable game and the rest of the season followed suit."
