Ever scored a goal for United?

[Sheff de party]

Playing for Donny Rovers supporters, I’ve scored against the Internet Blades.

I didn’t celebrate, mainly because it was a shank off my shin, but they all thought it was because it was against the Blades and I deservedly got a lot of stick for it.

True story.

I'm sure the lad in the far left of the photo used to be my dentist when I lived in Sheffield. He worked at the practice on Ecclesall Road, opposite Endcliffe Park. One of the dentists had an E Type Jag if I remember.
I'm sure that I met him at a pre-season game in the David Weir era

John A Lucking was the dentist with the yellow e-type (reg 1 JAL) . He was my dentist for 22 years, and we also played in the same cricket club together, Sheffield Bankers. He was a very entertaining chap.

On a thread that some of you will have missed ('Sheffield United Reserves - the Glory Years') there is a story which I think deserves a wider audience. If you follow the thread from about post 111, you will see that one of our number scored a goal for United. If that is not enough to impress, it adds to the story that he scored against none other than West Ham, in 1957 (see post 117, which gives a great description of it). That he can remember it so well, and has a photograph on his wall to prove it, shows how much it means to score a goal for the Blades. Do we have any other Forum member who has ever scored for United, at whatever level or age-group?

Scored a load at dinner times at school v the pigs if that counts !

Who was your manager at Abbey Lane?
Do you know Walt Talbot, John Dilks or Wilf Parkinson?

The manager was called Reg, assisted by a guy called Neil, who took over after a few weeks. It was a crappy team. We only won one game all season.

Six hat tricks in one season in mental. He got a couple of fours, didn't he?

One that season and two (in successive games) in 1929-30 season

My mistake, but he was the guy who was my dentist. Good lad too.
I think it was Falkirk pre-season, or somewhere like that, where I last saw him.
I think that the dental practice was called Terle Phelan 20+ years ago?

I just remembered that it was Raith Rovers!

Scored a diving header in front of the Kop in December 2001.

Looked a bit of a twat walking back into the Christmas do on John Street covered in mud.

Also kicked my wife quite hard in bed not so long ago whilst dreaming I was diving in as last man to stop a Spurs player going clean through on goal at the Kop end. My wife's protestations woke me up so I avoided a straight red.

More realistically I scored a penalty past Paul Tomlinson in the 80's at an open day.

Y'know what's odd? I'm kalied up on Pernod & Black (it's medicinal I have a chest infection) and revisiting some of these posts I'm now liking them, I mean what could cause that?
I especially like the story of a bear scoring for United.
Also is Khalid a word I can't find it in the dictionary or thesaurus?

The guy on the photo is called Russ. He’s the club dentist

That's him.

I have another pic of that lot of proto-Internet Blades on the 'tour bus'.

Again, as attested, Warnock, Blackwell and the team looked after us three so much that trip.

Twenty-fucking-years-ago. Twenty years. Fuck.
