As a child of the 70’s and 80’s one of my favourite players was Keith Edwards. Next week on the 24th it is 50 years since a young 19 year old scored his first goal for the Blades. He went on to be the most prolific goal scorer the Blades have known (post war) more than Deano, Billy etc. The only other player to score more was another great Alan Woodward but he played in twice the amount of games.
Arguments could be had about levels etc but Keith was the poacher supreme.
I believe this needs to be mentioned at the next home game and hopefully a proper invite to the game.
I hope there are other fans who think the same and if anyone has got the ear of anyone at the lane this could be facilitated. It would be great to honour a true LIVING legend.

Just before my time watching the Blades, but his goal record is outstanding.

Even if you take his whole career, not far off a goal every other game, based on 500+ career appearances. Shows the level of consistency achieved.
 
Had the knack of scoring goals whatever the level, never really got a chance at the top level because scoring was all he did, outside of the penalty area he was a passenger.
 
My favourite ever player for the Blades amount of times one on one with keeper he would score hardly ever took pens probably about 3 or 4 and that goal against Bristol Rovers wow ,at Hull City he went on to win golden boot with Hull coming 4th bottom
