Saw a bloke with a Blades tattoo on his leg in Barcelona airport on Monday.

Danny Wilson by any chance?

I served a Blade at work in a coffee shop in Coalville, Leicestershire on the Saturday of the Oldham game. Thought I was the only one around here (think there's a few Blades in Loughborough down the road?)

Lots in Ashby too.
Well 6 that I know off.

In Rome last year, went to the Vatican, a bloke there white skull cap and long white robe, could have sworn he had a Blades shirt underneath his clothes

I went to court in Ayamonte SW Spain (civil matter) and the judge wore a Madonna T shirt.
A real 'only in'... moment.
Must have took pity on a Blade as I won my case.

Pisses me right off when you think you've seen a fellow Blade in a different part of the world only to discover its a Stoke ,Sunderland Southampton or Athletico Madrid fan. #needthateyesurgeryquick.

Took the grand kids to Valley Gardens in Harrogate last week. Saw a little girl with a Blades top on, so obviously, started whistling the Greasy Chip Butty song. Her Dad stopped looked round, presumably thought he was imagining things and walked on. I don't give up easily, so whistled again and managed to catch his eye. We gave each other a Blades smile and went on our way.

Nice one, I'm in Castle Donington now and working in Long Eaton and I was approached by a Blades fan at work a while ago there too.

At this rate we'll be hiring an East Mids football special train for home games!

Have to get a piss up meet arranged for the Burton friendly match.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

My best sighting was a guy with a 96 97 home shirt, he walked right past me in a Rio de Janeiro subway in Jan 2009.

A few years ago, I was at a church in Chipata, Zambia on the Malawian border at some ridiculously early hour in the morning. There was a guy wearing a jacket with a massive Sheffield United badge on the back. I had a chat with him, but got the impression he really didn't have a clue who we were. Still my finest sighting of Blades attire though.

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

I was on my way to the office in Milano about 6 years ago and there was this youngish Chinese lad with a (managers style) coat on with the Blades badge.
I pointed at it and tried to tell him that it was my team, but got completely lost in translation! :-(

Last year in Entebbe Uganda in the crowd in welcoming the return of Stephen Kiptotich the marathon runner and gold medal winner in the marathon...........a young bloke in a 2002/3 Blades shirt just across the road, Ndlovu written across the back.

Mmm now there was a player

I saw a guy in a Blades shirt in Uganda once, too. The 3rd incarnation of the flourescent green away shirt. I did try to speak to him about it but he wasn't keen. You do see a lot of random football shirts in Africa.

33000 at Wembley, did the tribe proud.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

A few years ago I was in Paris with some friends, mainly Canadian, walking along a busy street enjoying the sunshine when I noticed a bloke in a Blades shirt walking with his wife (or someone he'd just picked up, who am I to judge?) in the opposite direction at the far side of the wide pavement. I said "hang on" to my mates and cut across the path of the numerous Frenchies and tourists, knocking little children out of the way, and had a nice chat about our chances the coming season.
When I rejoined my friends they were looking at me a bit strange - "Do you always just talk to someone because they have a Blades shirt on?" they asked. "Yes," I answered as if it was the most normal thing in the world, a little surprised that they even asked. However, I did then recall that the blokes wife (or whatever) was looking at me a bit strange too.
But it's the Blades way, right?

 

[Wapping Blade]

sohoblade in Donny this morning!

I imagine you recognised the haircut, very distinctive and as fashionable now as it was in 1999

Sounds good! Was it you, or someone you by know down at the hermitage astro pitches in Coalville on Tuesday in a 1990 home shirt?
