I thought I had read this a couple of weeks ago ? , heard nothing of his condition now though which is not good !

Hadnt realised he lived in Dronfield. Which road?

Shetland Road. Think it was second house on your right as you were going up from Hollins Spring Avenue. He lived there in Div 4 days and I used to see him in Vic Smith's.

I recall him playing against United at Lane, early 2003, for Hartlepool, FA Cup.

Great centre half at the level we were at. Also saw him dive full length to make a save at the lane think it might have been against oxford in early 80's. Best wishes for you big J

[corkysbeard]

My first game as a 9yr old,my older sister took me who was one of the old pond street mob,fantastic memories of that day and from then on I was hooked and never looked back since,once it's in your blood there's nothing you can do,come rain or shine.

Spent a few happy days with him in the pool with my kids in the Bahamas. Top bloke, kids were made up, he approached us when he saw them in blades shirts.

Come on John

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Hope he recovers , fond memories of him from my early days at the Lane

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Seen him and Tony Kenworthy with their partners in Lowedges Park. Me and my mate were playing tennis and they were on the next court. Can you imagine a couple of present day Blades players tipping up at the local park to play an hour of tennis ??

Hope the big fella gets back to full health !

On Match of the day that.

Believe it or not I think I saw it in a open university program, why the fuck would I be watching that, I didn't go to school half the time.

If memory serves me right he nearly got the equaliser on Boxing Day , think Jeff Bourne chipped Bolder and ball came back off bar and MacPhail got to rebound but Bolder pulled off a great save , can’t be sure was a long time ago on a day I’ve put in room 101
