'Memries' Brief but Brilliant Blades

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Players that looked good for a short tenure so you forgot that they ever played for us.

I'll start;

Ugo Ehiogu
Henri Camara
Paul McGrath
Craig Short
Martin Smith
Alex Notman

 

[Bert]

Gary Cahill

 

[Sean Thornton]

I doubt anyone who saw McGrath play for us would forget him.

 

[The Crab]

Matt Phillips

 

[vorpal blade]

Frank McAvennie

 

[JohnDenver]

Alex Notman

You're just checking we're reading this properly...

 

[Grecian2000]

I doubt anyone who saw Notman play for us would think he was any good.

 

[metalblade]

Paul Furlong.

 

[gavtheblade]

Andy Reid

[BusheyBlade]

Paul Furlong.

2 on debut including a last minute penalty in a 4-3 win vs Pompey if I remember correctly?

Edit: I checked on he did indeed score two, though not sure if it was his debut. Robert Prosinecki played and scored that day for Pompey. The only Croatian to score at the Lane?

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Terry Poole

 

[sheffielder]

Come on, no Ebbrell.. you're all not taking this seriously!

So good, he turned Evans into a capable championship striker.

What happened to Camara?

When we had Matt Phillips on loan we had another player on the left hand side who looked decent. Him & Phillips ran the show when we played Preston away and won 4-2.

Billy Clarke.

Camara went to Greece after us, and has stayed there since.

[LoughboroBlade]

Gordon Cowans.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Steve Lovell, Tommy Black, Bjorn Helge Riise and Sam Vokes put in some really good performances.

Barry Robson looked excellent on his debut for us and I thought we'd uncovered a real gem. He was technically head and shoulders above everyone on the pitch and looked like he should have been playing at a much higher level. He went off the boil soon after though and ended up being strongly disliked.

I always thought Mark Yeates was a decent player too but everybody seemed to hate him for some reason.

Who was that shithouse we got from Barnsley? Came with a big reputation, came on as a late sub in his first game, and made a few accurate passes, with callers on Praise & Grumble creaming their pants over him. Was basically shit thereafter.

That's the one. Now plowing his trade in the Wessex premier league at the grand old age of 33.

Don Hutchison

Really? Wow, thats dropping off the radar isn't it?

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

He scored our goal away at Preston in the play-off semi final in 2009.

Probably the highlight of his career with us.

There was a classic spat on the old BBC 606 board about him
"He's fucking fat"
No, he's heavy-boned
"You're right, he's got a heavy arse bone"

 

[St Annington]

Don Hutchison

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!!!
