Hamer's Halfway Line Shot

[Melbourne Blade]

Had it gone in would obviously have gone down in Blades best goals history. Gunn pulled off an amazing save.

Memories of Deane vs Liverpool from 1990 which is probably the longest goal we've ever scored? Deadbat correct me.

Hopefully the attachments work. Deane's goal is about 30 seconds into the clip. I was on the kop that day

Same season as Deano, Glyn Hodges hit the underside of the bar from the halfway line. I think it was against Arsenal. It would have been a better goal than Deano's I reckon!

 

[Nedski]

Dellas' goal must have been a similar distance to Deanes. Can't find a video anywhere unfortunately

Tried to emulate the great Josh Windass

Hal's tweet makes me chuckle because I'm the same with Deane's goal. I was actually at that game as a 10 year old and in my mind's eye, it was hit right from the touchline and much nearer halfway

Me too! I was 10 as well and sat in the old Family Enclosure.

Best part is still Steve Nicol's 'attempt' to stop it

Just checked, Derby keeper was on the edge (if not outside) of his box.
Gunn was well in. Between the penalty spot and the 6yrd box.

 

[Nedski]

I thought Dellas was further out than Calve but maybe not

I have slightly lied actually, I was 12...I thought I'd seen 1990 in a previous link. I'm going to stop watching it now and leave it as being MUCH further out in my memory. In 30 year's time, Wednesday fans will be saying Windass hit his from Northern General

Good scathing opinion on the attendance!

Didn’t Mel Rees debut in this game? Played an absolute blinder; bless him….

 

[Wilderat Heart]

All you young uns think we've had a better all round striker than Deane in the last 40 years watch these. Billy and Edwards were brilliant finishers. Beattie illy were class but Deane could do it all and frequently had to. As a partnership with Agana nothing else comes close.

Hamer's vision and ability are incredible. As is his work rate all over the pitch.
I think it was also him that hit a wonderful forward pass across the pitch without even looking yesterday.
He seems to operate on a different level to everyone around him.

It was. I remember it well. Bobby Davison launched a diving header at the rebound, but put it over.

 

[Russ]

Glyn Hodges and Mike Lake liked to have a blast or two as well.

 

[Speedracer]

I remember Len Badger scoring from way out against Ipswich at home in 1971, the 7-0 game. In my mind's eye it was from near the half way line but I could have romanticised that bit as I don't think there was any footage of it.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Always makes me laugh. Similar to Piganomics. We’ll be telling our great grandkids it was a mythical pile driver from our own box.

Hamer didn’t have the advantage of the old floodlights. Graham Shaw waited for darkness to descend, and then lifted the ball high above the area illuminated by the lights, and the ball travelling through the darkness was a nightmare for the goalie to see. I used that excuse more than once in my goalkeeping career

That's how you celebrate your team scoring, by going mental, not with polite applause. Ahem.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Alan Woodward scored two crackers in a 3-2 loss at Derby in the 70's. One of them was only just beyond the centre circle.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Glyn Hodges and Mike Lake liked to have a blast or two as well.

Our win at Notts County that day pretty much sealed County's relegation. Blades fans, sympathetic as ever, chanted, "Yer going down cos yer shit, Down cos yer shit!"

Glyn Hodges and Mike Lake liked to have a blast or two as well.

I used to try and emulate both those goals as a kid…do a zico lake we called it!
Hodges…I think as a kid I helped by telling my dad to buy a raffle ticket to sign him. Left foot like me and I loved him as a player for us just as much as Deeeeano

Deane in those first couple of top flight seasons was a striker that a lot of the top teams defences were worried about. He caused them all sorts of problems.

Colin Kazim-Richards versus Bolton.

And he did it in the top division.
Best player of my lifetime (since 84).

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Was at both that Saints game and the Notts County game, that 91/92 season was amazing, we finished 9th and if the board would've had a bit about them we could have pushed on and been an established top flight club.

 

[SRBlade]

Not sure about anyone else, but growing up with those season review videos, that intro music was fantastic.
