'Memries' Brief but Brilliant Blades

[SouthEssexBlade]

Nicky Marker

I think he played a few games for us.

Hutchison is the finest 'all round' player I've ever seen in a Blades shirt. He also had that nasty streak bubbling away just under the surface, that for me marked him out as a 'proper' Blades player. All our midfield problems would be solved if we could re-sign Don Hutchison, even at 45 years old!!!

yep.. sod the CB's what we really need is a talented pia box to box midfielder . like Lord Brown who was very similar in attributes (but not now obviously)
Dellas was good. great posts about McGrath.. still makes me chuckle . the guy was on a different planet talent wise

Danny Cullip- good christ, what a sack of shit he was

 

[Red Hot Currie]

For Blades of a certain age I give you Peter Anderson..... hideous bubble perm.... but scored a beauty for us in a 3-2 victory over Sunderland at the Lane in 1978 (?)..... It was a game which Alex Sabella, at the height of his powers in a Blades shirt, ran the show. Don't know what happened to Anderson........ but I'll always remember him for that goal.

 

[vorpal blade]

top of my head - transferred to Spurs? Fulham?


wow, I'm way off!

 

[bladeinspain2]

How about Trianos Dellas. Greek centre back who once scored a hat trick. Cant remember who against. Any one else can ?

 

[Lord Eddard Muir]

Marcello,remember him?
Laurent D'jaffo ,could put himself about,we've had lot worse forwards than him!!

Marcelo scored the opener in the first game I watched at the Lane.

It ended up 2-1 to Oxford United.

Dellas should have played a lot more. As a midfielder for us as we were weak in that area at the time and his passing and technique was next level. Bruce lost my respect for his unwillingness to play him when we had the likes of Ian Hamilton,Hunt and Ford getting a game.

Lee Morris also looked fantastic for us, shame he was plagued by injury after leaving. Also I was quite a fan of Patrick Suffo despite the wba game, could receive the ball with his back to goal and turn well with a decent eye for goal.

 

[The Crab]

Agree with that, class act. Autobiography worth a read, he rated Warnock.

Really good read.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Olivier Tebily

 

[Tray]

Arturo Lupoli, scored a rather decent goal against the S6 scum and not much else.

I would've liked to have kept Anthony Stokes a bit longer as well.

Scoring 5 minutes into your debut against the pigs should have set him up to be an instant hero, he did sod all after that! Wasn't he on loan from Fiorentina?

One for the future, John "Speedy" McGeady.

 

[Tyler Durden]

He was yes. I think he was also on Arsenals books at one point. He nosedived after that!

Looking at some of these suggestions, not sure what the parameters of 'brief'are so I'll go for Neil Shipperley. Couldn't run but was fantastic at holding the ball up for the likes of Jags and Tonge to make the runs from midfield. I seem to recall, NW thought he could do better and signed Akinbiyi and Hors(eshit)field which nearly derailed our promotion, only to reinstate Shipps and our form improved immediately.... if it ain't broke Neil...

Another - Rob Hulse - unfortunate to break his leg which affected our hopes of staying up.

I think he actually scored two and made one (having come off the bench!) against Tranmere.

Also notable was he goal against Portsmouth when he shot from somewhere in Fulwood.

I think it was actully castelton he shot from...never seen owt like it, before or since..so much power..

 

[Bladesway]

Bobby Davison if he hasn't been previously mentioned.

 

[Jon Bon]

Steve Faulkner. He was destined to go on to much greater things before rank inability sadly brought his career to a premature end.

You lot just can't resist giving that little hive of mentalist a prod every now and again can you?

What? What???

I saw him try to play. It's all there, right there in my mind. What has been seen cannot be unseen unfortunately. He's lucky I haven't sued for the years of trauma I've suffered...

Just on the corner of Crimicar Lane and Hallamshire Road junction mate. Took a bounce, looked up and stuck his foot through it. Almost clipped a bus on Eccy Road and took a pigeon out over London Road.

No, we can't.

The nutty wench's dad. I never saw him play, or at least can't remember if I did, but he was proper fucking bobbins. Although she called me a sick, vile bastard, so she's not always too far off the mark.
