Blades player you'd completely forgotten about.

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

'Blades players I'd Rather Forget About', that would be a food thread!

A food thread? Is the answer Salmons Currie on the Bone?

I can't wait 'til July for this most important work to be produced so, to encourage you to bring it forward, I'll give you a start :-

" Paul Thirwell, Nicky Henry, Ashley Ward and Ian Rush,

Carlos Tevez , Trevor Brooking, Neil Warnock gets the push,

Better get busy or others may steal your thunder . You know what they're like on here ........

Good so far, I'll have a think,!

David Holdsworth solid CB that lad could do with someone like that next year

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

Kingsley Black, Brett Angell.

 

[Blade82]

Axel Smeets? Or was that a Street Fighter character from my youth on the mega drive

Sorry L E, but this thread's called ' Blades players you'd completely forgotten about'.

David Holdsworth could never fall into that category for anyone who ever saw him. In fact, putting aside St. Joseph Shaw who was in a different class to any other Blades CB, I'd definitely have in in my top three.

As for " could do with someone like like that next year " I couldn't agree more but players like him don't grow on trees and, at his peak and in today's market, he would easily be worth £ 20 million.

I was gutted when he left though

Bruno Riberio - just for Bladesway

Unfortunately I never saw Joe Shaw live true Blade legend I couldn’t put Holdsworth in that class but he was good.
As far as forgetting who’s this Coutts they keep talking about.

He was

Born in Brazil. played in Portugal I think

 

[YorkBlade]

Ryan Hall, think his last match was a 3-2 loss away at Coventry when they were playing at Northampton's home ground. We were just about to appoint Clough.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

He was

So when my grandad told me Marcelo had a bar in Albufeira he may be right?

 

[gavtheblade]

Paul Parker.
Gordon cowens.
George donis.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

Andy Campbell: at least two loan spells with us from Middlesbrough in the late 90’s. Lightning quick striker but not prolific. May have scored one goal from my vague memory of him.

Marcelo
the only Brazilian who couldn’t play football

He had no silk about him, but am I right in saying he’s the only Blades striker to hit 20 in a season whilst playing in the top two divisions since Deane and before Beattie?

Not heard anything but he might have. Even if he was Brazilian it's possible, a lot have settled in Portugal. A mate of mine who runs Senor Frogs pizza place is a Brazilian lad.

 

[Silent Blade]

Paul Hall

 

[coaxingstar71]

This lad from the back end of Clough's spell...

 

[coaxingstar71]

This one did quite well, considering...

 

[CarlingBlade]

Billy Mercer (gk) around 1994/95 season

My grandad never found the place but said it was up top of a cliff somewhere (obviously accessible and not just perched on some cliff edge).

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Did he ever play in the first team???

Sal Bibbo. Did he play in the Anglo Italian cup?

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

While checking information for a different thread, I came across a comment about the match v ManU in the spring of 1972 that Ian Holmes made his debut that day. Well, I was at that game, but I swear I have never heard of the guy. Apologies to him and his descendants...

 

[Ghostshark]

Didn't we have a Nigerian keeper at one point, I remember him playing in the reserves back in mid 90s..cant remember his name.
