Calling more Senior Blades

[Linz]

If you're struggling with the picture from the 1960s, you might find this one more difficult without cheating.

These pictures are from the 1936 FA Cup Final.

First, name the Blades captain:



Then, name the team:



Can anyone do it without cheating?

I've had to cheat so I'll not enter this, but the bass-player from Blur has aged pretty well since captaining Arsenal 70 years ago!

Anyone that knows a little football history will find the Arsenal captain easy.

Blades armband (which they didn't have back then ) was Harry Hooper!

I know the goal scorer was the legendary Ted Drake (we lost 1-0 for those who don't know)

Couldn't identitfy any of the players but I know The Blades had Jock Dodds as centre forward!

And he's slap bang in the middle of the front row

I think I remember reading somewhere that there was a good smattering of the Scotland team of the day playing (aside from Jock and the aforementioned captain of Arsenal...Oooo clue there )

 

[Linz]

I do have the list of players which I'll post later.

I'm just very excited that in looking for old Blades stuff, I've found the 1960-1970 shirt in a small on the Toffs site. It was never available in any size smaller than a medium in the shop. I wanna dress up as TC

I think I can see SEB in the crowd on the first fixture.

He had hair then too!

 

[SotonBlade]

Are you next to him silverfox?

No....I never used Brylcreem!

And he hit the bar just after Drake scored too with a header ...... about right for United ...... I remember about 7/8 years ago when Jock got trotted out at one match at half time. Bless 'im, he loved every moment and was bouncing around the touchline like he was about 13. Christ(TM) knows what was in his Steradent the night before
