I remember Jones and Birchenall (Blond Bombers) both shoulder barging an oppo goalkeeper (with ball in hand) into the net at the Kop end and turning away to celebrate a goal.............shortlived excitement Ref blew for a foul

First Blades chant I heard.

 

[Lens instep catch]

More than one and different versions back then IIRC. Full version as per Molly Malone or just the MI, MIC, MICK, MICK JONES stand alone. The Hodgy/Lev Yashin different chant altogether.

Sorry probably shouldn't have tagged it to your post sang the Hodgy \ Yashin chant myself

 

[I should coco]

Not been in for 20 years. I left South Anston at 18 to go to Uni and only went in when I was back in the holidays.

My parents (both since passed away) moved away to Worksop not long after I left, so I've no real links with the village other than few mates parents.

My mum and dad still live there.

The last couple of times I've been in the Trooper, have been upstairs for a funeral and a 60th. It's still a good pub though.

This thread would suggest that there are a decent handful of Blades there, and I still know a couple.

[AnstonBlade1]

Must still live in the village seem him quite often.

 

[VictoryBlade]

He had a sports shop in Maltby after he retired. Late 80s/early 90s. I remember him dislocating his shoulder (I think) in a Leeds game and continue playing with his arm in a sling - they were hard in those days
EdIt: Remembered it was a cup final and he went up to collect a medal with his arm in a sling not sure he played with it in a sling!

I remember that although he got subbed off! What a player though but as usual in those days we sold him to the dirties!

No, we had signed Willie Carlin during the week, a few days before Jones went to Leeds. You can see in the photo below that they trained together at the Ball Inn.
