Blades Hat-Trick Heroes

[DifferentClass]

Now gone down a Harry Johnson wormhole. His debut sounds insane...

"He played his first match in United colours for a Reserve side at Heckmondwike, and upset the home fans who 'displayed a certain amount of animosity,' and one irate man even waved an unloaded gun at him."

Fucking bedwetter.

It would be interesting (if anyone can be arsed) to see the top three goalscorers in all competitions since 1960.

That would be Woodward, Edwards and Sharp.

Not only did Harry Hammond score five hat tricks for us but he was our first ever player to get a red card! Surely he deserves a statue for that? Wilder would love him. Culture carrier! What happened after he was sent off was brilliant...

"Having been dismissed in an away fixture with Crewe in April 1892 Hammond actually believed his life was in danger and fled from the ground, hiding at Crewe station until the rest of the United party arrived."

Also a good snippet on his departure from this world...

"After he finished playing football Hammond became a publican in Bolton where it was reported he died whilst playing billiards in his pub."

Top lad!

Dean Hammond's great-grandad?

How far the apple falls...
