Scored his first goal for us at Arsenal in March 1973

I spoke to him as a 14 year old, standing next to the old tunnel on John St when St Mirren came to BDTBL in 1980.
Any time I’ve met a St Mirren fan during my 35 years up here in Paisley,on learning of my team - ‘ hey, Jimmy Bone played for yous’
A sad day.
RIP Jimmy - a Buddie and a Blade ️️

He also scored in our 5-0 demolition of Arsenal in September 1973. We were 4-0 up inside 30 minutes.
He was part of the swap deal with Norwich when Trevor Hockey went the other way.
Fond memories. RIP.

He scored in my first ever game at The Lane v Palace in April 72. (Maybe 73?)
RIP. Jimmy

Really liked him and said before that I thought he was going to be a real cult hero at the Blades but unfortunately he got home sick and wanted back up the road.

RIP Jim

Indeed he did, what a night that was
Another reason I can never forget it is that the crowd in the kop was quite vigourous to say the least in the first half particularly
And I got pushed against one of the crowd bars and chipped one of my front teeth
I was only about 13 at the time and felt very self-conscious!
RIP Jimmy, have fun with all the other blades up in the sky….

Get well soon Jim

 

[Paisley Blade]

Keep going Jimmy.

If the inevitable happens, considering it's inevitable for all of us and there's a bullet for everyone, my earlier words apply x

Jimmy Bone not Gone.

 

[Jon Bon II]

We must have bought him just prior to the League Cup final between Norwich and Spurs. I remember that week's Shoot being a League Cup special with pics and posters of Spurs and Norwich players. On the back page, it was split in two with a Spurs player on one side and Jim Bone, in full Norwich kit, on the other, with what looked like a hastily amended 'Jim Bone - Sheffield United' caption.

RIP Jim

 

[Silent Blade]

RIP Jim

He is not gone

 

[Jon Bon II]

He is not gone

Don't want to cause offence, but it just reminds me of this scene.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

This is an uplifting thread.

I never saw him play, but felt sad as he was clearly a nice bloke and a good player.

Then the twist - he's still alive but very poorly.

Hope he recovers. So get well soon Jim. Sounds a lot better than RIP Jim.

With all the doom and gloom in here at the moment, it's nice to have some good news. Thanks Jim

Perhaps posters would like to share photographs of their pets, so we can really start to feel good about ourselves again.

 

[North Shields Blade]

He scored one of the Patrick Thistle goals in a sensational Scottish League Cup Final of the early seventies.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Played for The Blades and The Jags. What's not to like?

Could've been a Blades legend, but the pull of home was too strong.

Get well soon big fella.

 

[Wards]

Jimmy Bone not Gone.

Jim Bone now Gone.

RIP

 

[Blade56]

Seem to remember at the end he wanted away but United wanted him to stay.

So sad to hear of players passing away that in my head are the man I saw on the pitch, fit and healthy and scoring goals for the Blades.

RIP Jim, thoughts are with the family.

 

[Silent Blade]

RIP Jim Bone

All at Sheffield United are saddened to learn that former Blades striker Jim Bone has sadly passed away at the age of 75.
