Is Chris Porter now a Blades Legend?

[blade too long]

Who is Sheffields leading goal scorer this season

thats right
Sergio Acun Porter

No slipping in an extra t Pinchy

 

[Kenilworth]

Whadjamean now??

I feel a statue coming on. It may move quicker than he does too.

Presumably, Ken 2, that's a euphemism for getting a lob on at Porter's prowess?

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Think I took the question to seriously...........I shall re-phrase yes obviously he is now a Blades Legend.

You'll soon get used to the irony, sorry, sarcasm!

Dear Pinchy,
Mr Hodgson has been on the phone regarding my availability for England's next game.
Regards,
Chris.

Have you ever seen the film "Big"?

The remake is staring Ricky Lambert and Chris Porter - whodathunkit?


You only have to look at their respective activity in this weekend's FA Cup to see that it's true

 

[mattbianco1]

You heard it here first ...

 

[zablade]

How can you mention Porter in the same breath as Shipperley ?
I will give him credit for taking the pen but I certainly wouldnt have started him
And to the OP Porter will never be a Blades legend

Whooosh...!

 

[MBoreman]

I was about to say he's our top scorer but someone beat me to it. Even when not scoring he wins headers and occupies defenders so the more naturally gifted players have more room.

 

[Harry's Game]

I realize the thread title is meant to be to tounge in cheek, but if Porter scores the goals to keep us up then I will start the fund for the statue.

I'd certainly donate.

If he scores the goal to keep us up he should definitely get a cartoon on the background of this forum.

It's always puzzled me how Foxy managed to get himself tooned on the background.
I mean, I know it's his bag an' all that but it's a bit rich counting himself as a Blades legend on the back of this, most excellent, of forum sites isn't it?

 

[brownie4583]

Who do you think will be my strike partner in Brazil?
Rooney....Wellbeck....Lambert?

Chris P.

 

[jockdodds]

He's such a legend he's even got his own magazine now.......

Good spot mate, that must be Chris with his make up on.

At least he has a Blades connection of sorts. What the hell is Kurt Russell doing up there?

 

[Jehovah]

He had the chance to be a blades legend by scoring in the play off final v Huddersfield. However, Wilson dropped him for Cresswell, despite Porter's goal against Stevenage getting us there in the first place. Could not understand that decision as much as I liked Cressy. Porter came on late, but I think he would have scored if he'd started.

 

[Ted Danson]

Someone certainly thinks hes a legend:

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

He'll be fondly remembered despite the limited ability. A bit like the fella to the left of this text...

So embarrassing, those north Sheffieldian troglodytes are having a field day with this on Facebook/Twitter.

 

[ScoobBlade]

7 goals in 19 games under Clough. He seems to get into more goalscoring positions than Baxter, whose efforts are usually from outside the box.

Baxter is usually out of breath by the time he see's the box

 

[zablade]

Oh it's looking like a Yes!

Thankfully there seems to be no limitations in his ability from 12 yards.....

 

[Elsecar_Blade]

Ive always thought the flack he takes is overly harsh.

There are many things I'd describe him as before I got to the term 'clinical' but for somebody who isn't usually the most calm infront of goal he's a very assured and reliable kicker of pennos.

Agree with you there. He isn't the worst striker I've seen in a United shirt. In fact, he isn't even top ten. Craig Beattie anybody? Lauren Ten Heuvel? Hao Haidong? Geoff Horsfield?

Whilst he'll never be Brian Deane, Tony Agana or even Andy Walker, he'll be a cult hero for the way he's upped his game at important moments this season. He has a knack of getting the important goals in the few he gets - Stevenage, Forest, tonight.

'Kin 'ell. That is tremendously sad. Imagine in years to come:

"What's that faded mess of a tattoo there, granddad?"

"Oh, it's from some non-descript season in the varied history of football's unpredictable bridesmaids, Sheffield United. In this game we were drawn in the FA Cup against Nottingham Forest at Bramall Lane and managed ... with the help of our substitute striker Chris Porter ... that's him, there ... to secure a late flurry of action in which he converted a penalty and was out of character for once and in the right place to toe-poke a bobbled cross into the net in injury time. Porter had joined the Blades some seasons before and not exactly set the world on fire and was even loaned out because he was bobbins. It was such a memorable moment, because all of the planet was laughing at the tattoo which was expertly drawn by me. Luckily I spelled everything correctly; I very nearly put 'POTTER'"

"Why did you have it on your nose, granddad?"

Top Ten Worst Blades Strikers. Now there's a thread! Paul Williams? Dougie Brown? Don Peattie? Maybe even Chris Guthrie?

If Porter carries on like this then cult hero status might be on the cards. A 21st century Shipperley if you like?

What century did Shipperley play in?

If only Ched was the same.

Don't forget the first round of the cup at Colchester when he brilliantly closed down the left back and then guided it in off the defender (Walker o.g.) thereby completely wrong-footing the keeper. He then finished it off with the winning penalty. That game changed our season in my opinion. I don't know what else Porter has to do sometimes to win people over. Maybe if he had flowing blonde hair and wore the number 10....

I think HMS Shipperley was originally commissioned around 1865?
