Basham departing

[BigBed]

Now that's quite a classy thing to do, even if the "Prince" looks like he's just been dragged away from a car boot sale!.

Nice touch by the prince who must be over here on business

I saw PA heading down Shoreham Street with a wheelbarrow full of cash the other day.

Not sure what that means.

It means it's not for a striker.

Basham will always be a Blade!

Would love to have him at the club in some capacity. Top lad. Top Blade.

 

[chesblade]

Confirmed he won't be playing professional football again, sad really

 

[Bladesman]

Basham needs to let the squad know about this:

 

[Zipwire]

So it’s all down to pickle juice and not being probably one of the fittest footballers to ever play for the Blades.

 

[Derek1889]

Great servant to club.

 

[Guesty]

I'm sure I've heard that pickle juice is good for that before now, actually. Anyway, top lad Bash!

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

It was great hearing him commentating yesterday. I hope it becomes a regular thing.

Legend

 

[Bladesman]

 

[BladeInIreland]

No injury and I don't think he would have been looking for another club.

 

[petcharlie]

I would still pick him at 86 just for his infectious attitude in the dressing room he will always be remembered with affection .WE ALL LOVE YOU BASH . Should not cost you anything in the bar mate . Take care and good luck in what you do .

 

[DifferentClass]

How come we haven't done a testimonial for him yet?

 

[Bert]

Do you reckon he needs the money so that he can buy a newsagents or run a pub in his retirement?

Anel the sulk hasn’t been fit to lace this great man’s boots.

Enjoy your retirement ya fucking legend

Do you reckon he needs the money so that he can buy a newsagents or run a pub in his retirement?

Couple of ex Chelsea players had a pub in my village before my time. The time of top flight players having to get jobs post retirement, especially in the pub trade, are long gone!

Would love to see him back at the Lane in some capacity. Proper Blades legend.

 

[William Large]

He should get a testimonial so that the fans can give him a proper send off and show how much he was loved.
One of my favourite players ever, for his attitude, commitment, the ‘Basham turn’, the overlaps, ‘Bashams arriving’ and for being a generally nice guy.
I hope they the club sort something out.

How much would you pay to see a joke match between old crocks in a practically empty stadium and who do you think the receipts should go to?

Depends who the old crocks are. Children’s charity.

No need to buy a drink in Sheffield for all eternity Mr Basham.

Thank you and enjoy your richly deserved retirement from playing. Suspect you might be “back” at some point.
