An evening with Carl Bradshaw

[Foxy]

Legends of the Lane are delighted to announce the next in the series: An evening with Carl Bradshaw.

“Bradders” is one of the biggest characters to pull on the famous shirt - a Sheffield lad through and through Carl has some fantastic and very funny stories to tell!

Not many begin their career across the City and go on to make cult status with the Lane Kop, but Carl is certainly one who made that transition seamlessly - a player definitely and rightly regarded as one of us.

With 148 starts in the red and white stripes (plus 27 as sub) his career here spanned the Bassett promotion team and the magic that was Leicester on the final day of the season, the formation of the Premier League (and a leading role in the Sky advert promoting it) and the agony of watching a semi final game that he should have run, from the stands at Wembley an incredible 20 years ago.

Carl still holds the record number of appearances for the Club in the Premier League and is, of course, one of our former Captains - possibly one of the proudest in recent times to take the armband.

“An Evening with Carl Bradshaw” will take place in Legends of the Lane on the evening of the 7th March 2013.

Doors open at 7.00pm and you can take the opportunity to have a picture taken with our special guest and the FA Cup before our signature home made steak pie, peas and gravy are served at 7.30pm

The Q&A session, led by Club Historian John Garrett will start at around 8.30pm and the audience will get a chance to put their questions to the man himself over the course of the evening.

The licensed bar will be open throughout the evening with table service during the Q&A.

The price is just £16 per head and the price includes a complimentary pint of house beer/ lager /glass of wine or standard soft drink on arrival!

To book simply contact the Ticket Office through the usual channels or contact JG on [email protected] for further information.

As this is a Legends event there are a strictly limited number of tickets available - please book early to avoid disappointment!!

Now there is a player that could never be accused of hiding.
He would eat our current squad and spit em out before breakfast
They would shit themselves if they came up against Bradders.

 

[SwissBlade]

Morgs comes close, but Bradders is my alltime Blades hero!

 

[Marco Van Barsteward]

Proper Blade, should be a good night. Current squad could do with the likes of him around the place at the moment. They need a kick up the backside and a bit of inspiration to get us on the right track again.

 

[gavtheblade]

know his ma` an pa` well from my blue bell days,be a good night.

 

[silverfox]

I'm up for it!

 

[sitwell]

I might take his bother and Ian Bennett ,give him a nightmare

 

[Gavlar]

I'd hazard a guess that being Bradders, some parts may be for the consumption of only the room

It's occasions like these that make it even harder to be an exile - even if only still UK based.
Would love to go to that evening. Last time I saw Bradders was the Exeter game last year when I won tix from Mr & Mrs Fox (thank you) for me and the lad. Spent most of the time talking to Keith Edwards but did get a chance to talk with Bradders for a few minutes during the afternoon. Top blokes, both of them.

Without the technology of the day being an exile would be dreadful, not that bad when in younger years as I was at the Lane most games.

Mrs Fox would like to point out that after the last time she had to go to work on Friday morning following one of these events, she will not be drinking tomorrow evening.

whats the point of going to work if you don't have a hangover!?!

There's a hangover, and then there's having to find somewhere at dinnertime to go for a sleep...

I refer you back to my last post Battle through to lunch, big bowl of pasta at lunch, then fresh as a daisy come 1300pm... work with a cold sweat all afternoon before going to the pub after work for a livener or seven

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Good lad Bradders. Only problem was him being a City School layabout instead of going to the Beaver Hill academy of the gifted and talented like yours truly. Ask him about Sarge Wilko at the Swinery, they got on like a house on fire

Yep - used to get the Green 'Un (relevant parts) posted to me and Flashing Blade when that came out.
Much easier follow from afar now - but is it? Hmmnnn. Weighing up how much time I spend frettin' on here and on a Satdi afore t' match - never get owt done when comms on BP either. Waster!

 

[norfolkblade]

Apparently he's playing in this football aid thing at the Lane this year, unfortunately not on my team and apparently at left back. This makes me glad I chose to go in goal rather than on the right

 

[Foxy]

Good night as expected and some entertaining stories

I'm sure someone will summarise tomorrow

Was also good to meet diplomat and a pity we had to dash for the last bus on a school night.

 

[diplomat]

Brilliant night. Favourite quote: we used to have a shrink. Could he work me out? Could he fuck.

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

My headache is just leaving.
