She's married to someone he met when dossing over here in London. No idea if he was/is a Blade though.

Joan Collins? Seem to vaguely remember that one although it sticks in my mind as her Mum being a Blade.

My mate always claimed the former news presenter Alistair Burnet must have had something to do with Sheffield as he always referred to the two clubs as 'United' and 'Wednesday', although I don't know if he had a preference for either team.

Wasn't the former tennis player Roger Taylor a Blade?

Roger Taylor's mother and father both ST holder and Senior Blades members. my avatar always had a pre match chat, 2000's, on the new JSS. Based on this PROBABLY.

What about the lad who plays Robert in Emmerdale, he's a blade.

No, he's the dead one who as well as being a bit of rouge, he couldn't spell.

I was with him - he lasted longer than me. The call of the pub c the lack of fight was too one sided. And I managed all 8 v Newcastle
