Have we had two players with the same name in our squad before?

[1973Blade]

James Wilson, our new on loan striker from Manchester United and James Wilson our centre half, currently on loan at Walsall. Surely that's a first?

Ps not sure why it came on twice !! Pre derby finger excitement!!

 

[1973Blade]

Oh yes Jake Wright doh! OK, have we ever had two sets of players with the same name before?! As a criticism of Wilder, he needs to be a bit more adventurous with the names of the players he signs!

 

[vorpal blade]

But I don't think we've ever had any with the same initials.

 

[DifferentClass]

There's only two James Wilsons!

 

[8lade]

Were Paul and Brian Smith in the same squad?
OK seen my mistake- I've got a cold!

 

[10-0 win]

Early 1970-72 we had two Alan Woodwards, the obious one, and one that never made the grade after beeing an apprentice for a short while.

Good point, that makes it four JWs in our squad!

I never knew that!

 

[BerksBlade]

Apart from the Jake Wright twins? We had 2 Paul Woods but not at the same time.

 

[zablade]

Hammond and Salmon.

(Cunt and Pussy)

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Yes we had 2 Nick Montgomery’s

There was one on the website that said he was a versatile midfielder

Then there was the one that I saw playing for us that was as much use as a traffic cone

 

[sufcboy95]

Alan and Stephen Quinn?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Hammond and Salmon.

(Cunt and Pussy)

Sammon.

I vaguely recollect we had two Fred Smiths around 1952. I think they played together.

I'm sure this is a Silent fact, so he'll confirm in due course.

The two James Wilsons are unlikely to play in the same side for us.

In case Silent misses this post, little Fred Smith and big Fred Smith played in the same team frequently, 1951-52.

F.A. scored against Wednesday in the famous 7-3 game but F.E. didn't play in that game. I'm assuming F.E. was big Fred as he was a centre forward and F.A. was an inside forward.

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Ernest 'Nudger' Needham had a nephew Ernest Needham, and they played together for the reserves 1909-10. The nephew played once for the first team, in 1912, 2 years after his uncle's last game.

Wasn't that the first season you started following the Blades ?

Someone who had forgotten that we have 2 Jake Wrights ought to be very careful about dishing out the insults...

Andy Goram

That reminded me, I've got an England shirt autographed by all the team and back room staff before a game against Belarus, John Goram signed it twice. Totally unrelated but spooky

1/3'rd down on left and 2/3's down on right.
