Mike ZEEEECO" Lake

I also liked Roger Nilsen...Quite surprised he didn't score more as he had a thunderous shot.

Interesting use of the word "more"...

I was at that Scummers 2 - 4 SUFC game. My boss was a scummer fan, and got neat shit on the Monday.

When Lakey smacked that ball, it was coming straight at me behind the net. He fucking lamped it. Nice to see us beat at team a home which contained Shearer and Le Tissier.

Remember being on the station later with loads of Blades fans singing 'Let's all have a disco, let's all have a disco ... "

To be fair to Lake, he was destined for a good career with United but seccumbed to a bad injury and couldn't get going at that level again.

He was another pick up from nowhere like Paul Rodgers, Mel Reed etc. Was it about 40k from Macclesfield.

Some of those goals would have been fawned over if scored by Messi or Ronaldo. The flick at the near post from Gage's cross was sublime.

Didn't he come from Macclesfield .? Sorry, just seen that he did.......That'll teach me to fully read a post before I reply...

I also thought Jonas Wirmola was a good find.

Wonderful player, had John Fashanu and Tony Daley in his pocket in consecutive games and he was about 12 years old!

Bought for £50k, sold back to Sweden for £60k because he couldn't settle here. He's a coach or a TV commentator nowadays I think. Too few Blades remember him Champers - good shout mate

...oh and yes I was at the Forest game and I was crying when Cloughie gave us the thumbs up as it was clear it was game over for him in more ways than one. Top man.

back to the OP - Loved our version of Zico - breat striker of a ball

He scored a decent one v Man City and a decent goal v Forest from memory.

Brings back

Great day. My dad took me and my brother to our first football match. Was hooked from then. Cost me a lot and put me through a lot over the years but it's all worth it. UTB
