I am a Cestrefeldian.

Hence the three heads?

Actually, so am I, but in the village where I was born and raised there was a bus to Bramall Lane as well and the first time I took it was for a friendly against Rotherham in 1966. The Blades won 4-1 with goals by numbers 7, 8 ,9 and 10; Woodward, T. Wagstaff, Jones, Birchenall.

im born and bred pitsmoor, sheffield. moves to essex to go to uni in 94. met a local girl, got married and had two pan lids since. my son is now 16 and is a blade. we go to as many games as we can, which is usually approx 10 per season. us exiled blades get the shite end of the stick for popular games, its hard to build up loyalty points when i live 4 hours plus away from home games.

Went to a testimonial dinner at the Aston Hall hotel around 10/12 years ago for an ex player, cannot remember who at the moment but on our table of around 12 there was a party of 4, (husbands/wives) asked where they were from and replied Cornwall, asked if he had retired or worked down there and he said no born and bred and lived there all has life, asked why he was a blade he said as a school kid in the yard they drew out teams and thats who they were for the period, he drew out United and has been a blade ever since! and all the four of them were/are season ticket holders! quality and respect especially when I told them I was born on city road.
