I did the same!Dean Riddle just got mentioned in the Test Match commentary on Sky. They mentioned almost everything he'd ever done in his career apart from Sheffield United. Me shouting it at the telly doesn't count.
You're always at home with a Blade!True story re Dean Riddle.
The last time he was in England he called in to Bramall Lane to say hello and to show everyone his commerative watch he won when the Seatle Seahawks, who he was working for, won the Superbowl.
He said whilst he enjoyed working in America he was missing his family and didn't like living in a hotel.
I gave him the contact details of a Blade I know who lives in Portland, Oregan and told him to look him up.
Within a few weeks Dean had moved in to his home and moved his family over from England to join him.
He has now settled in America.
Portland is a fantastic city I’ve been there many a time as my brother lived there for a while, and will likely settle there when he’s finished his assignment in Europe....True story re Dean Riddle.

In 2009 the Scandinavian Blades were over for the Reading and Forest games. Between those matches we went to watch the first team train at Shirecliffe. We'd done this a number of times before, but on this occasion it seemed that fans weren't allowed to watch, probably Blackwell's orders. We still found a spot in the bushes above the lower pitch, so we watched the team prepare for the Forest match the next day. After some time a guy came over, asking who we were. Turned out he was a rugby coach working in France, but was there visiting his friend Dean Riddle, who'd sent him up to find out if we were spies from Forest! We managed to convince him we weren't and after a bit Riddle also came up to have a chat. Before we left they called us over and gave each of us a player's shirt, mostly belonging to players that had long term injuries or had even left the club. Still a nice gesture and I appreciated my Matt Spring shirt!True story re Dean Riddle.

Did you go?Portland is ace, but weird. I was walking down the street there one day, minding my own business, and got offered a swinging session.
~Knows the club, has unfinished business at the Lane...
To quote Mr Van Driessen's t-shirt from Beavis & Butt-Head, "I recycle because I care".I always like how we get fifty threads to say the same thing about rumours and gossip, but someone drags up a thirteen year old thread with two posts to avoid clogging the place up with Dean Riddle posts.
Portland, eh? A friend would like to know where in Portland.Portland is ace, but weird. I was walking down the street there one day, minding my own business, and got offered a swinging session.
Asking for a friend, what street was it ...?Portland is ace, but weird. I was walking down the street there one day, minding my own business, and got offered a swinging session.
