I did say 'including', there were obviously more dishes..... it was about 30 years ago.

What was he getting in Sainsbury's? Did you ask him why he didn't go there first, before the food was ready?

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Aaaaah Glenn Cockerill……… the perfect replacement for either Fleck or Norwood in today’s team (assuming Hecky doesn’t stick him on the bench )

Terrific player - definitely in my top 5 of Blades midfielders I ever saw .

To put that in perspective , two of the others are Jimmy Hagan and TC .

Oli McBurnie, lol

High praise indeed. He was one of the only players who used to tear us apart (when he played for Lincoln City) and got even better after he signed for us. Then he went onto better things being a regular high performer in Division 1 with Southampton.

How would you rate Glenn Cockerill alongside Geoff Salmons ISJS ……. similar player ?

He was living at Greenhill at the time, but had been travelling to the Chesterfield Sainsburys for his grocery shopping every week, until I pointed out there was one literally just over the hill from the Chinese Takeaway.

Life before Google eh?

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

A fine player with some similarities as you suggest .

Between the two , Glen just edges it for me as being the more complete all round footballer .

At the time I worked with a Lincoln City fan and he was telling me that GC was their best player and he gauranteed that he would be brilliant for us too.
He instantly stood out in his early games for us, good ability on the ball, as you say a great allround midfielder but it was his workmate that stood out for me.
Reminded me of Kevin Keegan how he was always busy, working hard and running around, like he had a Duracell battery inside him.

He almost instantly became our best player and it was sad to see him leave so quickly.

I reckon he'd be an improvement on Berge too. Wonderful footballer.

 

[Old Programme seller]

I’m surprised it wasn’t Norwood he’s usually caught with the ball

Terry Curran?

Saw John Cofie at the Adelphi last night really lovely lad loved him at the lane - his wife’s also sparking to the eye UTB FTP

Yes, he was a terrific player in a fairly awful team (can you imagine him and Sander alongside each other ?)

Cockerill was skillful, box to box engine, got tackles in and scored a few.

What more do you need from a midfielder ?

Didn't he retire from football early?

Yeah, went to work for Kenco.

 

[Macfarlane21]

Played football with his Dad in the Army when he was on loan with us. Told me how Ferguson would only allow young players to have cars with small engines so he only drove a basic car

 

[Withington Blade]

Performed miracles in The Green Mile but never quite replicate it on the football pitch

Looks like someone is a bit jealous at not seeing a 90s player in one of the cities top chippies / pubs / woods.
