Is that a siren flashing? Because the thread police better be on their way for another new thread on Billy!

 

[COME BACK CHED]

If Blackwell had played him in his proper position , he could have been in his fifteenth year with us now .

 

[BLADES1988]

Nevermind the wheels and doors debate. Billy, Ched or mcburnie threads?

Blackwell shouldn't have got rid of him, he was just coming into form.

However the player that left and the player that came back are different. He gained experiences that meant he came back and was so important.

He's on course to get 20 goals or over this season, that's what you look for in a striker at this level.

 

[Pedro Verde]

He is certainly a Blades legend his all round game is fantastic for a 36 year old

I've just read that the only minute he hasn't ever scored a goal in is the 5th minute of a game. Only 3 players have ever scored in all of the 90 minutes. Ronaldo, Suarez and Ibrahimovic

Satdi please.

Then the 10th, 15th and 30th, please


Then the 50th and the 70th minute, please - just afroe he is replaced by Jebbo

 

[Russ]

I don’t mind what minute The Master scores in.

And we'd likely never had played in league one

Interestingly they have never scored in the Championship nor League one which puts Billy ahead of them

Brings tears to the eyes of some beefcake centre-backs too (especially when he sticks his arse into 'em). Doc Pace always knew how to get the better of Pete Swan, and Billy does remind me of the "Doc".

Thats because his legs have gone after 4 mins,

 

[Grecian2000]

If Blackwell hadn't been a Hoofy obsessed, bullying, useless fuckwit he could have been in his fifteenth year with us now .

Small fix, but given you a like anyway!

Billy to score 5 minutes in on Saturday?

Don’t think that’s quite fair. At the time our main striker was James Beattie.
Sharp was played almost out on the wing, similar to how Barcelona used Gary Lineker.

I remember the odd game where Sharp dared trying a shot at an angle and Beattie would be waving his arms about complaining why Sharp didn’t pass it to him.
Always felt sorry for Sharp, obviously Beattie was the senior (better) striker, so Sharp was sacrificed playing as support striker/ winger expected to set up Beattie.

Would love to hear Sharps opinion of the Blackwell days about his relationship with Beattie.
All our tactics were designed to benefit Beattie so Sharp was sacrificed/ disrespected as a striker.
Cant even remember Sharp taking a penalty because Beattie automatically took them all.

Can they all be penalties too being as Coventry fans seem to think this is a regular thing when it's not.

 

[Flumps]

I know it's another thread but:

For me, the lad gets a statue on his retirement. He's certainly not perfect and he's good at being a shithouse to defenders but he's a local lad playing for his club. You can see his passion for the club every time he scores, doesn't score and even when someone else scores, he seems to love the fans and hangs around signing things for the kids. He pretty much always puts 100% in to his game and he obviously works hard off the pitch.

Surely that's the type of footballer you want at your club? Blade at heart or not.

I don't know whether to have a go at you for being insensitive to one of our more mature posters or laugh my tits off. I guess at nearly 60 I'm allowed to laugh my tits off!

Hadn't we already agreed to sign Sharp even before Robson was appointed and we'd even signed Beattie?

I want to be there if and when this happens.

My Dad's fave too. He told me the only time he ever heard my Grandad swear was on the way back from a game in which Hagan was red carded and one of his pals chided him "Shhh Tommy, your lad's with us."

Great to see Billy do it. However much adversity we are facing it's still comforting to know you have a player who can nick one with the smallest of half chances. He really has become a master of his art. It's a pity he wasn't seen as more pivotal when we were in the PL. I'm sure he'd have outscored some of his more expensive colleagues if he was afforded the same opportunity.

v Swansea in December 1952. We won 7-1

My Father said Jimmy Hagan was the best Blades player he saw play, before my time though.
Billy should have been used more in the PL, Wilder obviously had his doubts for him at that level.
I hope he gets another contract, he deserves it!

 

[S64 Blade]

Looks like he has his new deal!
