Classic shirt that. One of my all time favourites.

On this note, are there any blades living over in Canada?

Onto the pitch came John Tudor hurrah hurrah!
He scored a goal and that was it; the Shorham Street they had a fit....

 

[Booker4]

Bit before my time is John Tudor but whenever I think of him I recall one video (probably the BBC Match of the Day on us) where he scored and the commentator says "John Tudor, that's John Tudor"!

Classic 60's commentary simple as it is!

Onto the pitch came John Tudor hurrah hurrah!
He scored a goal and that was it; the Shorham Street they had a fit....

When John Tudor came on the pitch...

 

[Robby Blade]

Hallelujah hallelujah King Tudor King Tudor.

I live in Toronto - does that count .
Oh, you mean ex players..... (well I ran on the pitch at BDTBL once....)

Should try and see if there are enough Blades in the GTA to find a pub venue to watch games, set up Toronto branch supporters club there (and try and get a deal for cheap beer ).
Respond here or PM me if interested

Weird piece in the programme from Pesch, living in Canada now where he runs a business, mind you if I was married to Brady, I would want to be a continent away from her.

When I went to Bluestone junior school in Norfolk Park
We played a football tournament in school between classes
The great man presented it in the first year and after that it was called
The “ John Tudor Cup “

One of my fondest moments at The Lane. Tudor 3-2 against that lot. I had a juniors season ticket in the Bramall Lane Upper. Weren't you up there too?

The young whippersnapper.
Showed his worth when he left BDTBL, two for one deal, but Blades were very needy for a goalkeeper at that time as nothing lasts for ever.
When looking back to those times think John Tudor was slightly underrated, from where I stood his commitment and product was second to none,

 

[Grumps]

Happy birthday, Tudor the king of Sheffield

Ditto to the winning goal and junior season ticket, row A right behind the goal.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

He’s probably still fitter than the moose.

 

[COME BACK CHED]

Newcastle had our pants down , when they swapped a super hero `King Tudor `for a gonk and a corgi fitter .

Amazing what you can remember from back then but no idea where i have put my glasses

To be fair John Hope + gonk were excellent for two years. The rest is very true.

Yes i was gutted when he left ,a great striker ,strong and great with his head AND feet scored for fun

 

[Racing Blade]

Scored the winner in my very first match at The Lane v Carlisle over half a century ago. Great to see him in good health.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Just before my time, I remember seeing him play at Newcastle and always being told he was better than anyone we had at the time. Always looked a very decent player and underrated even at Newcastle where MacDonald seem to get all the plaudits.

 

[dtblade]

great player, glad to see him looking so well
another poor transfer deal by the Blades when we let him go to Newcastle
many happy returns
and hopefully many more
once a Blade always a Blade

 

[john Mathison]

He made Malcom McDonald, by winning header's and flicking them on at Newcastle, while we got a goalkeeper who became a best butter sales person.
