Have you ever almost been killed by a Sheffield United player?

Phil Thompson nearly took my eye out on Soccer Satdi t'other week.

Is it some kind of special privilege to be nearly killed by a Sheffield United player? I can't see the attraction in it myself. I think I'll just stick to watching them play football.

If I was stabbed by Gus, whilst waiting for a bus, to die at that time, is such a heavenly way to die .
If I was mowed down by Jose Baxter, in an erratically driven tractor, well to die at that time, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine.
If a punch from Brian Deane, makes an fatal mess of my spleen, well to die at that time, is such a heavenly way to die .
If a push from Martin Pike, sends me headlong from my bike, well to die at that time, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine.

Rob Kozluk nearly hit me with an attempted cross a few times.

You need a double like for that

Do Huddersfield fans still do these?

Once stood close to David Hirst (wow, is that really my best claim to fame?) at Bradway Driving Range and he seemed a decent bloke.

I’ve had a few good chats with him up there, most notably before the Derby game at the sty in that fateful League one season. Was very decent. But he never tried to kill me tbf, so not relevant to the OP. Waddle used to drink in there and just came across as a cunt, proper piss head an all.

I can confirm that ,played against him when he played for Brunsmeer ,he played up front first half and was shit ,played in net second half and was one of the best keepers Ive ever seen. Really nice bloke in the pub after as was Sterland. Waddle was a full weight 'look at me' bell end.

When you hear him on 5 live, you realise he still is.

Got hit by the ball once from a rocket shot by Dane Whitehouse that went just over the crossbar in the away end at Valley Parade. Thought my shoulder had been dislocated for a minute. Guy next to me was even more upset as he watched his pastie disintegrate.

David Hirst is at most SUFC U23 games, home & away, that we pitch up to. I assume he's scouting or agenting for someone.
He asked for a photo of The Precious Teamsheet at Doncaster away recently. He's always friendly enough to us.

When I was a nipper I was walking down john street and a old vauxhall avenger pulled up , there was 5 first team members in muddy training gear who got out in front of me ,two of which were Woody and Curry they had just got back from training and where heading for the showers in the ground .

That's a lie Sir. There was no such vehicle as a Vauxhall Avenger. I think you mean the Hillman Avenger? Later to be called the Chrysler Avenger. And not to be confused with the Chrysler 180, which was a bit like a Chrysler Avenger on steroids.

Apart from that, your story is entirely believable. That a vehicle, of whatever type, should stop outside a football ground, and footballers alight from it, is not exactly a UFO sighting. And to learn that they were muddy after training and going to take a shower, is not the stuff of an Agatha Christie novel either. But, I enjoyed reading it all the same.

You have a wasted talent there Copernicus.

What if you were swinging from the gibbet, with a hangman called Les Tibbot?

Currie said at the 1971 promotion reunion in 2011 that he disliked training at the Ball Inn. Probably because either there were no shower facilities there or it was of a poor standard.
