Blades jailbird XI

[programmechap]

Following Li Ties recent misfortunes, can we do an entire XI of United players who have done time. I get the following:

?

Paul Casey
Tony Ken worthy
Jack Fountain (50s reserve player..implicated in the Peter Swan bribery scandal after he left United)
?

Carl Bradshaw
Ashley Sestanovich
Li Tie
Jordan Robertson

Ched Evans (obviously conviction overturned on appeal but he did the time)
Jimmy Dunne (interned during the Irish civil war,)

So we need a goalie and left back..

Careful what you wish for

 

[JohnDenver]

Go three at the back and shoehorn Marlon fucking King in there.

 

[programmechap]

For goalie, I believe Paddy Kenny was.once arrested and spent time in.the police cells, but wasn't charged and for left back Calum McFadzean was done for assault, but got non custodial (but presumably was in a police cell after arrest).

We can stretch a point and include them...

Good call..Casey to left back, Bradshaw to right back, stick Dunne on the right wing and King up front...

 

[DifferentClass]

Didn't Moose get done when he totalled his Lambo?

 

[Tickhill Blade]

Are we counting suspended sentences or community service? Could have old Benty and Vinny Jones then

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Surely Billy Whitehurst has been in the nick?

 

[MayorOJC]

Honourable mention for Carruthers wazzing in a pint glass at the races

Grbic, arrested for impersonating a goalkeeper…

 

[HarryHaslam]

Charlie Hartfield makes the bench

If we are sticking players who didn’t play for the first team like Robertson we can stick Adam Chapman in there also, we sent him out on loan to Oxford and then they signed him, Wilder I think signed him.

Edit - Robertson did get on in the league cup

 

[CrookesBlade]

William “Fatty” Foulke could be the keeper at a push.

Don’t know if he ever got locked up but was into illegal gambling with the Park gang.

 

[HarryHaslam]

I wonder how many lads who didn’t make the grade in football end up in jail, I’d say there is quite a lot up and down the country when you take into account the number of players.

I say that because it was sad to read in the Star at the end of last year a player I went and watched while doing some scouting 20 odd years ago had received a really big sentence (just under Lie Tie sentence)… a couple of years after I watched him he did end up at United, was a really promising player at the academy and progressed to a scholarship and was capped by England I’m sure at 16/17 age or around that. I’ll not name him even though it was in the star as I don’t think it’s right but it was really sad to read about him as he had so much talent but it was his physique that let him down imo.

 

[Gimli]

Surely Billy Whitehurst has been in the nick?

I’d like to see the officers trying to arrest him

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Need a skipper to keep ‘em in order (a la Lee Marvin in “The Dirty Dozen”)
Step forward ( drug using former PC) Julian Broddle -
Need a manager? (Probation Officer) John Flynn ?

 

[HuddersfieldBlade]

Did Neil Shipperley get done for public wanking?

 

[tyneblade]

Don’t know if he ever got locked up but was into illegal gambling with the Park gang.

And famously committed an assault on some of the Wednesday support during a match.

I wonder how many Police we have. Off top of my head Mick Henderson, Keith Waugh, Paul Smith are 3 that were police

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Did Neil Shipperley get done for public wanking?

Aye, albeit formally recorded as “intentionally exposing his genitals intending that someone would see them and be caused alarm or distress”
Conor Sammon was the ‘public wanker’ every Saturday afternoon

Not quite:
Connor Sammon IS the genitals that when seen cause alarm (and) distress

 

[Swinton Blade]

Peter Ndlovu & Harry Maguire faced trials.

 

[Cheets]

Paul Holland if suspended sentences count: https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/former-mansfield-town-manager-paul-779393

 

[Houston_Blade]

Paddy Kenny has surely been locked up at some point for fighting or drunk and disorderly?!

Curtis Woodhouse would be my other bet for a few nights in the cells?! Ashley Sestanovich and Tyrone Thompson also did some jail time I recall.

 

[spongebobblade]

Go three at the back and shoehorn Marlon fucking King in there.

Didn’t realise he shared the same middle name as Tyrese fucking Campbell. You learn something new everyday

 

[spongebobblade]

Surely room for sitwell favourite all time Blade Jose Baxter?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

William “Fatty” Foulke could be the keeper at a push.

Don’t know if he ever got locked up but was into illegal gambling with the Park gang.

Wasn't there some sort of warrant issued for eating all the pies?

 

[JohnDenver]

According to my copy of the Pinchasaurus, King’s name actually shares its derivation with Wally fucking Downes’. Tyrese fucking Campbell has a distinct etymology.

Dave Powell?

 

[Greasy Chap Butty]

Peter Ndlovu & Harry Maguire faced trials.

Maguire got a 21 month suspended sentence from that. Currently under appeal set for next year.
