RIP Jim. And your tooth.
Can you imagine some distant episode of Time Team jemmying the box lid off to find Sirrell's skull grinning back at them with THAT tooth?
Tony Robinsons Great-great-great grandchild (a non-hexadecimal self-identifying cross-breed with a rare full blood female woman who identifies as a hippo on Thursdays and is called 8?-90-BASALT): "Our experts analysed the tooth to see if another animal was actually buried with Mr James SIrrell."

Many years ago I was waiting my turn to see the dentist on Lound side in Chapeltown. I was “ear wigging” a conversation between two older women. During the conversation one of them claimed to have designed the “crossed scimitars” badge. I resisted the urge to shout “chinny reckon” at her.Jimmy Hagan’s son was on this forum a few years ago.
He explained that his dad was involved in the making suits and he used to draw and design emblems to sew onto the jacket pocket.
He said he actually remembers his dad sketching out several versions of the famous “crossed schimitars“ badge on his kitchen table when he was a child.
Years later he apparentky showed some of his designs to the current manager Jimmy Sirrell.
JS iked our current badge so much he persuaded the powers at Sheff Utd to adopt it as the new club badge.
Personally I think our badge is a classic design ahead of its time.
For decades football badges were often over complicated coats of arms.
The current trend is that badges should be more simpler and instantly recognisable.
I often think that when there’s a small graphic of badges on tv……our badge is a simple design, simple colour scheme and instantly stands out.
Also most clubs have changed and evolved their badge over the decades….whereas apart from very minor changes ours has been the same since 1976.
It is obvious you have copied from Wiki again!Jimmy Sirrel Sheffield United
The Blades had suffered an awful start to their First Division season and were bottom having recorded just one win in 13 games up to Sirrel's appointment. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to motivate his players and the Blades would record just five more wins and finish the season relegated in bottom place.
With little money to spend, Sirrel was unable to stop the slide at Bramall Lane and the following season United finished 11th in the Second Division. The 1977–78 season started in similar fashion and on 27 September 1977, Sirrel left Bramall Lane with United struggling at the foot of the table.
of course deepest sympathy to his family
but in every way his tenure was one of going the wrong way
he fitted well at notts county a bit like Adkins fitted well at scunthorpe
his high point was doodling the new club badge while perusing the losses column in the league tables
