Blades 2 Sunderland 0

[1973Blade]

Twenty years ago today one of the best Blades performances that I've seen. We destroy Sunderland, Borbokis makes his debut on the right and shows what a talented player he is and Deane scores on his return. All in front of a crowd of just 17,000. Strange, but my memory is of Bramall Lane being packed that day.

17000 was 'packed' for us then.

Awesome performance and the first time I remember us playing with wing backs. Quinny and Vas were brilliant that day and the style under Spackman was a pleasure to watch. Until THAT day!

20 years to the day I got spliced

Deane played his socks off but he didn't score - Fjortoft and Borbokis got the goals.

Until THAT day!

I assume you mean Deane and Fjortoft sales but Willie Donachie leaving was another big blow. Spackman was clueless without him.

Insight from Spackman as to what Green was about.

Fjortoft and Borbokis scored.

Oops, my memory playing tricks on me!

What I never understood was why we needed the fire sale when we'd started so positive

The most jaw droppingly brilliant debut in a United shirt I've ever seen by Borbokis. We were all turning to each other and saying 'did we really sign this bloke?' in amazement.

Only player close to that initial impact I can recall is Kyle Walker.
