Blades 7 Ipswich 2

[2ndtenorblade]

I'm sure many of us remember that scoreline from the 70's, I think Woody scored 4.

Have we scored 7 in a competitive game since?

PS I think this comes under General Blades Chat, sorry in advance if I'm wrong.

Sheffield United 7 Northampton Town 3. Division Four. March 16, 1982. The day after my Mum's 42nd.

Sheffield United 7 Oldham Athletic 2. Zenith Data Systems Cup, Tuesday December 11, 1990. Our first win of the season, not long before the famous match against the scabs.

The Ipswich match was actually 7-0, but before my time!

The Ipswich match was actually 7-0, but before my time!

Not before mine though. Couldn't believe what I was seeing.

When I got home, my Dad (a staunch Wendy) dismissed it as 'six lucky goals and a penalty'

Tony Field either scored a brilliant goal or... tripped and wabbled from one end of the pitch to the other and fell over the ball poking it in ... depending on how you see it and Len badger scored with a lob from the half way line ..I think

 

[MobileBlade]

It was 7-0 as pointed out by Hippy. The brilliant Tony Field goal you refer to was in a 3-1 game. It was my first ever home game!

the first blades match i ever went to was a friendly with a non league side called worksop town and we lost the game 3-1 i reckon (i was only 12) my favourite game was a game against arsenal in the cup. it was a cold nighted mid week match and i think it was when we had howard kendall has the manager for that brief spell. the game was coming to a 0-0 end but carl veart scored a diving header from a great crossed ball on the counter attack and knocked arsenal out the cup. great night that

I remember taking my kids to that match, it was not their first but it must be the one that got them hooked on the Blades. I have on occasions appologised, but they forgive me.

PS The Arsenal game.

I was ther too DD
It was a great game and was when Sir Bobby Robson was their manager. Ipswich were a very good side at that time, I think they finished second in the old first division that season or the one after.

i also remember a leeds match back when we were in the prem that we were losing 2-0 till just other 60 mins then we clawed it back for a draw. played out of our skins for the last 30 mins but the thing that sticks in my mind is brian deane was playing for leeds and he scored for them but come running down to the left corner flag in front of kop and celebrated in front of us. i dont if he was just been a wanker or if he,d forgot he,d got a leeds shirt on his back and not a blades shirt. always wondered about that.

the funniest moment i remember was a match against the filth. the game was dull and boring and i dont remember the score but i think it was guy whittington an owls player that hadnt been used in the match and was sat on the bench started running up and down the pitch towards the kop to warm up. it was clear he was trying too get a reaction from us because he kept stopping nr the corner flag and stretching. after him doing this 3 or 4 times a fellow blade in the seat behind me started shouting at him and told him to feck off up the other end so he did. 5 mins later he came running back down the wing. by now the shouting fan behind me had had enough so he jumps up and chucks his pie and cup of bovril all other us,clambers over me and the fans sitting in the seats infront of me knocking us flying,jumps over the railings and the sponsorship boards,dodges a steward, and runs towards whittington with his arm back ready to swing for him. now the pitch was has slippy has hell and has he swings for whiitington he completely loses his footing and ends up on his arse missing whittington altogether. he clambers to his feet covered in mud to the applause and laughs from the blades fans and starts to take a bow. no sooner had he started to bow 5 stewards rugby tackle him to the ground and started the biggiest game of pile on youve ever seen. i never laughed so much in my life and it made a boring game that bit more enjoyable.

sorry for going of topic and telling/writing a novel but these were happier times at the lane and it takes the mind of the shit were in now

That was his first match back at the Lane after we'd sold him. I was on John Street East Terrace that Sunday, and i'm sure he ran down the John Street touchline as well. As I recall, he'd not been in very good form, and hadn't scored for quite a few matches beforehand .....

Jostein Flo pulled one back with about fifteen minutes to go with a volley which nearly everyone in the ground thought was offside, so much so that we barely celebrated. Brian "OG" Gayle popped up with the equaliser in pretty much the last minute. We definitely did celebrate that goal!

I vaguely remember that, but I thought it was Roland Nilsson? One of my personal favourites was the pigs match where one of the unclean jumped on to have a pop at Simon Tracey. Alert to the approaching menace, Tracey merely extended his left leg, and felled the oaf with delicious simplicity.

Sheffield United 7 Oldham Athletic 2. Zenith Data Systems Cup, Tuesday December 11, 1990. Our first win of the season, not long before the famous match against the scabs.

It was actually our 4th win of the season, we won both legs of a league tie v Northampton Town and the next round tie v Everton.

The Everton win has bittersweet memories as i attended that night with a mate and his dad as i wasn't old enough, and it was the same night my old man got seriously injured working in the fire service.
