[Muttley]

Yep this 23k at the game more than half was Blades

Weren't both matches 4-0?

 

[Wandsworth Blade]

Weren't both matches 4-0?

Yes they were. And they took place almost back to back for some reason.

And Vinnie Jones pulling a face to the Blades fans after a Sunderland effort went wide

I recall when YorkBlade interviewed Vinnie Jones.

He has a slightly different recollection of his career than the rest of us. I think at one point he referred to himself getting man of the match every week.

I seem to recall him being at best motivational and someone who got stuck in and could do the basics, at worst he was a glorified catapult and a liability in terms of discipline.

Just saying like.

He said the same in his autobiography which was bullshit

Portsmouth 1-2 Sheff Utd Jan 2003

Michael Brown ran the fucking game. Pompey couldn't get past him, and he scored the winner. A real 10/10.

I seem to recall we won 6-3 away at Luton i the mid-90s.

Horrible memory that.
Drove up from Kent where I lived didnt know that away fans couldnt buy a ticket on the door (was a new thing as Millwall Fans had smashed up Lutons ground a few months before.
Thought, stuff it Ill just go int e home end then. Bloody Luton had given 2000 seats away to schoolkids to boost the crowd and me and some other fans ended up not getting in.
Driving back down the motorway to Kent when that score came in was seriously F-d off!

Definitely one of my top away days, Browny was sublime. Bricks flying over from the passage behind the Milton end
Nestled in second behind Pompey and ahead of the freshly-administrated and cheerfully unsanctioned Leicester City, I was certain we were getting promoted after that performance...

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

In 1968, we were relegated, got through to the 6th round of the FA Cup and beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield on Good Friday.

Oh, and me and Cooky from Donny hitched all the way to Anfield and hitched a ride back on the team coach all the way back to Sheffield.

Now that's what I call an away day to remember

Ii recall watching that with the London Blades, of which I was a part for a good few years.

Might have been at the Green Man and French Horn on a Monday night?

Brown was immense.

Will post the Liverpool report in the 1967-68 thread in 4 weeks time!

Always thought that the links between our last 2 wins at Anfield are eerie:

• they were both on an Easter weekend (1994 was Easter Saturday)
• they both finished 2-1 to us
• they didn't help us avoid relegation, as we went down on the last day of the season both times, losing to Chelsea on both occasion.

White shorts seasons too despite that we wore black shorts v Chelsea in May 1968 (only time we wore black shorts in a home game that season)

 

[FreePaulRodgers]

Portsmouth November 1985.
Their home record read 7-0-0 ; goal difference 21-0
Blades won 3-0 I recall Foley & Withe scoring.
There were a few bricks coming over from home fans leaving early.

He was motivational, but crap IMO. One of the most limited footballers I've watched at BDTBL, and it's a pretty low bar
