the username is a bit of a giveaway as regards age, he was my first real blades hero although I can recall seeing Doc Pace, Ronnie Simpson et all.
I have recently returned to Sheffield after 40 years and have enjoyed having a season ticket again for the last 6 seasons. Frustration and disappointment is second nature to Blades and I dont expect this to change anytime soon.
Anyway heres to a lively interactive and busy forum.

Mick Jones was my 1st hero - I can remember the other players too - A few years ago I worked with Mick's wife, she is a real nice lady.

Welcome Mick...we are the same era I think. I just remember seeing Jimmy Hagan...great player. Other great Blades....Joe Shaw (best uncapped centre half ever) Graham Shaw, Len Badger. Doc Pace ( Hendo not fit to clean his boots) and that fabulaous keeper, Alan Hodgkinson. As far as Currie is concerned Beighton ...he was masterful. I do not like to use the word hero for footballers but TC was awesome in my opinion. Anyone else remember him sitting on the ball in the centre circle when we were tanning Arsenal at the Lane?

Meatballs Mick!

Enjoy the forum. With so many of us old duffers on here, Foxy can probably apply for some sort of grant now!
