That included one of the best ever player goal celebrations when Marcelo scored, ran over to the Blades took his shirt off and chucked it into the crowd, but had a spare one underneath :)

it would have been even better if Katchouro had not fluffed that chance in the last minute!!?

I remember us being under the cosh. Coventry were pushing forward for a winner and got a corner. Stuart cleared the ball and just sent a curling ball down the line. All the Blades were back and all the Coventry players forward. Ogrizovich had loads of space, but out of nowhere 'the Kat' charged him down!! The Belarussian was still quite far out, but had an open goal. 5k of us were willing him to roll it into the empty net. But he wanted to get closer and get a better angle. He dallied and just as he was about to shoot the Coventry keeper recovered and somethered the ball. We all stood theere head in hands thinking how the fuck have we not just nicked this game.
 



Being a younger blade the best moments for me would be
Jags vs m'boro in prem
Leeds 1-1 at home in 05/06 when we knew we were up
Nade vs Arsenal
Keef vs Charlton
Hammering West Ham
Beattie vs pigs
 
A few of mine have been mentioned above.......but I still laugh thinking of Deano Saunders goal against Stoke.
Off the keepers arse from a throw in and then slotted away.

Quick thinking at it's best....

Tudor' goal against Wednesday to make it 3-2 wasn't bad and neither was Gil Reece's flying header against Cardiff in the 5-1 win which promoted us in 1971?

Reece's flying header was the 3rd goal in our 3-0 win against Birmingham 10 days before the Cardiff match
 
David Frain's injury time winner against Sunderland in 1986 when he had only just come on as sub. Deane and Agana's equalisers against Norwich in the FA Cup 5th round in Feb 1989, even though I couldn't see the latter because of our position in the corner of Carrow Road.
 
did anybody mention the vas borbokis goal against sunderland? that was poetry in motion.

and deano make me do a sex wee!

 
Autumn 1981. The 1-0 win at Bramall Lane (courtesy of Bob Hatton) in the first leg of a league cup tie against Arsenal was something of a high moment. Several years earlier this would not have been a remarkable result, but at that time we were a fourth division outfit and this was one of the few high moments we'd had for a while.
 
Nades goal vs arsenal in the prem.
it was a crappy evening weather wise,i was full of cold and wet through.
But when he put the ball under almunia and ran away arms aloft i had a genuine belief that we had turned into a genuine premier league team that would easily finish in the top 10.
The warm fuzziness lasted for oooo..2 hours.

I think it was Jens lehmann keeping goal for Arsenal.

I don't think many Blades felt particularly optimistic about our chances. Arsenal weren't the footballing power of a couple of decades later, but they still had a very strong side. But we even took the away leg to extra time and for a midweek game so far away there was a very good away following. However, we never really looked like scoring and conceded quite early. All in all, we did quite well to keep the score down to 0-2.

One that's not on the bingo card -and I'm sure we'll all have one of these which no-one else particularly remembers - is the 3-2 win over Millwall the Tuesday night after BOBL.

I was convinced we were going to be docked points, what with being an ultra realist, and genuinely feared relegation on the back of it. Nuddy's last minute winner, following a late equaliser two mins earlier, sent me home relaxed and confident that even if the points docking took place, the team we're completely unaffected by all the furore. This was confirmed the following Saturday when we hammered Burnley, but then knocked off for the season in comfortable mid table obscurity.

I remember this well. It was also the night a baby was abandoned in the phone box just behind the kop.

I feared a points deduction as well. I think we were on 50 points at the time, so a large points deduction would definitely have put us in trouble.

The performance against Burnley was excellent. Three very good goals and comprehensively outplayed a play-off chasing side featuring Paul Gascoine in midfield. But we overran them.

We didn't quite knock off for the season at that point. We still had another good win left in us - the demolition of Watford at Vicarage Road.

I have never been as stressed at a game than I was at this one...especially when we were losing 2-0. (I don't think drinking a few pints of Stella before the game helped thou !)
 
Blades 3 West Ham 0. Leaving the ground it looked pretty likely we would stay up and I had gone to the game with 2 WH fans which made for a great car journey home.

That was the high before the misery that followed....
