Foreign Opposition At Bramall Lane

[Bashar Al Asaba]

In the context of previous opposition, Inter Milan is a pretty bloody big deal.

Nah mate, Chengdu Blades in 2007 was the big one.

By the way, when you scan stuff, you don't have to protect it with 53 sheets of tracing paper.



ISC - helpful photography and image hints, since 1963....

Nicked it off Facebook actually, cuntybollocks

Benfica missing off that list?

Truly recognised European competitive club football has been going for about 60 years.

Disappointing to see all our matches have been in friendlies.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

That list is pretty pathetic.

Just shows how shit we've been in the past 100 years.

Ah, that explains it.

Were you on there posting pictures of your scrotum and trolling young children?

The Anglo Italian cup ties in 1994-5 are missing from that list: we lost 2-1 to Udinese (the game when 4 got sent off) and drew 3-3 with Ancona.

Last time we invited foreign opposition to the Lane we had a rousing chorus of 'You dirty Turkish bastards'. That were nice. More o'that, please.

That would confuse the shit out of the Italians

I was at that Latvia game and to this day I have no idea why.

I was going to say something about how bloody weird it was not only playing an international side but also playing it in March - but I've just learned that we played New Zealand in February, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[CrookesBlade]

Benfica missing off that list?

Yes. Think we lost 3-0. Was part of the Brian Deane sale I believe.

Also slightly off topic but did we have a mid-season friendly the year before with Everton???? Summat to do with Howard Kendall??

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

Yes. Think we lost 3-0? Was part of the Brian Deane sale I think.

1-2. We debuted the new away kit that night, the lime green Wards one with the black sleeves.

 

[BerksBlade]

Was the New Zealand game anything to do with Che Bunce?
Just reading about the "Canadians" from 1891 - they toured the UK from August right through to January, playing against England, Wales & Scotland, as well as a whole host of League clubs. Now that's a football tour!

 

[Davalon]

Where's the European giants Motherwell on that list?

 

[benn5712]

Went ter't Dynamo Kiev game.

Went ter't Dynamo Kiev game.

Oleg Blochin was the hero of the world at that time.

 

[S64 Blade]

Went to the Latvia one as we were given free tickets at school (to any pig fans reading, no it's not the case for all our games).

Any idea why we played them and why it was mid season?

 

[Isar]

River Plate was MASSIVE.

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

I seem to recall going to a mid-season game against (i think it was) Gothenburg in the mid 80s, that appears to have been missed.

I'd say Inter are the stand out continental opposition to play United at Bramall Lane (both Inter and Ajax XIs have played Club at the Lane in the past).

We host a team from Wales every season

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

What about Australia, played a test match at The Lane.

We didn't season before last.
