Help needed from older Blades

[JJ Sefton]

Im picking up again a bit of work Ive been doing on and off about United's history and Im after Blades with memories of the 1950s or, preferably, even earlier. Im after rumours, opinions of players, any of the sort of thing that would have ended up on message boards if theyd existed.

If you dont have direct memories but have stories you heard from the pre 1960s era Id be glad to hear those as well.

PM me if you can help.

Thanks in advance.

As one gets older the memories become a little faded.

I was two at the end of the 50s.

I remember vividly the sheer terror that gripped my infant mind when my wicked stepmother told me that Blackwell would be our manager one day.
