Last night a few Blades held a quiz night online and I thought there might be some Blades bored enough to tackle the questions I wrote for it

I'll put the answers up tomorrow, but dare say some statto will have got them all right by then, there's a total of 39 points up for grabs (would've been better to have been 40 but I only realised after. Our winner got 30, no googling.

Yes, you're right, who was the other one against?

I have known since the early 1970s that it was Port Vale. It is still the football league record for an away win and when Leicester scored the 9th goal at Southampton last October I was praying that they wouldnt equal our record that stood since 1892!
 
I got 20 points, which I’m quite happy with!
 
You sure about Harris outlasting Warnock? Warnock was here a long time.
 
Just had a look (without working out numbers) looks like it's Bassett, Warnock, Harris - not too confident of the site though as it still has us in league 1.
