Billy Sharp best striker this century

[super_pig]

Why did he tell him so many times? Didn’t he believe him or summat?

probably proud of the fact. can't blame him tbh

 

[super_pig]

Are you sure?
I heard that the screws at Wormwood locked him up and started singing "Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na We've got Billy Sharp, Billy Sharp, We've got Billy Sharp "

have a like for working out the na's .. great effort

Yeah agree!

I’ve come to appreciate Billy for what he is. A great goal poacher.

He was underwhelming on his previous stints for us and I’ve never liked his stroppy “me” persona. I still think he’s very limited in some parts of his game. Not much pace, can’t dribble, can’t win a ball in the air(Fleck is smaller but wins far more). But he holds the ball up well and is an instinctive finisher, one of the best. He’s also a dyed in the wool Blade and gives 100% every match.

I still don’t think that makes him immune to being dropped or subbed, but if you take him off the pitch you need to have someone else on the pitch with that finishing ability. And there aren’t so many of them in our price range!

exactly..a while ago someone posted 'we need a fast version of Billy Sharp'.. i replied 'you mean like Sergio Aguero?'. 50 million to you mate

The icing on the cake would surely be a brace / trick against them lot in a 4-0 win.

Dare to dream !!

[Patrick Suffaux]

To think some people wanted us to sell him.

He will get the 11 this season.

 

[Bannerman]

All correct answers, I was amazed at Jimmy Greaves stats, absolutely staggering.

Saw Greaves play against us on a number of occasions. Brilliant striker, he was a mate of Hodgy's, I think they roomed together a few times on England duty.
Always seemed to have a bit of a laugh with each other on the pitch. When Greaves had the ball at his feet with his back to goal and a defender up close behind him you had to worry, he could turn and shoot on target in a split second.

Poor mans Billy Sharp basically.

 

[The Jackdaw]

Another goal down.

Of all these friends and lovers, there’s is no one compares with you.

Daft prick should not be missing from spot though

UTB

 

[RealMcCoy]

No, it isn’t.

He’s scored more goals for United than he has for any other club. But the article says that the majority of his goals have come in a United shirt. They haven’t. He’s scored 76 of his 208 goals for us. That means 132 of his goals have been scored for other clubs. So, the majority of his goals have not come in a United shirt.

He would only have scored the majority of his goals for us if he’d bagged more than 104 (half).

I’d have expected a journalist to know this.

Hopefully it will be true before he hangs up his boots!
Only 29 to go (or is it now only 28?)

 

[ThatJa]

he’s from firth park/ shiregreen isn’t he?

He's originally from Birley, his parents still live there.

 

[The Bladesman]

We just need to do him justice now and get him in the game against them pigs. Watching him slot 1 (or more) against them would be so sweet.

 

[Pierre's PC]

My dad worked with Sharps uncle.
Apparently Sharp is from Pitsmoor, that’s what his relative told my dad on many occasions.

Is that uncle Craig by any chance?

 

[Doddyontheball]

His record speaks for itself. Mega mega Billy

 

[Large Mendonca]

not sure tbf - thought is was the Manor like Dane W, but could be doing him down there.

UTB

Got a feeling that Dane is off the Woodthorpe ?

 

[Harry's Game]

Didn’t someone on here say a few weeks ago he would not score another ten goals for this club?

Past Halfway there...

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

He's originally from Birley, his parents still live there.

That’s some trek from Birley to Ecclesfield where he was schooled

He was born in Birley.

Poor mans Billy Sharp basically.

The greatest British goalscorer that has ever lived, nobody even close.

Bert saw him 4 times, 3 times in Sheffield and once at White Hart Lane.

All his goals were scored at the highest level.

What a gamble it was by Alf Ramsey to play Geoff Hurst over Jimmy Greaves in the 1966 World Cup final.

How many more required?
