We have a winner!

I've had a meeting in the boardroom at Chesterfield this afternoon - looks out over the pitch. They've had a reserve game against Doncatraz Rovers and Big Stan was there as part of Donny's coaching staff.

Cracking game actually - Chesterfield won 3-2

Not Sarbs

Surely an unnecessary answer.....

Stan has probably got bad memories of Chesterfield from when he had a goal disallowed and was subsequently sent off for dissent in the opening game of our centenary year.

He may have bad memories of Chesterfield, however, his memories won't be of that ground: They'd be of the Collusseum of the Midlands that was Saltergate...

It was at Bramall Lane, not Saltergate, although we also lost the return fixture at Saltergate with Bryson missing a sitter. If memory serves, we were promoted that season but lost 6 out of 8 games against the four relegated teams.

Chesterfield used to be a bogey team. It snot now.

Only had one visit to Saltergate on active Blades service and that was a pre-season friendly ahead of the 2003/04 season and we won 1-0, and it rained.

 

[Cheets]

We ALWAYS used to lose there. Cup games, friendlies, the lot.

Remember seeing us draw 1-1 with them, 2nd round FA Cup, 13th Dec 1980 at the Lane. Hatton scored for us and then Alan Birch with his microphone blond perm equalised with 2 minutes to go. Obviously we lost in the replay. If memory serves, Danny Wilson was playing for them that day.

Nice to see Stan the Man in the photo - great servant to the club and so sad when he left just after he'd fulfilled his dream.

We didn't win there between 1951 and 2011, from memory.

That Chesterfield sending off was Stan's only red card in his entire career.

Is the duumvirate of Silent Blade and Darren about to become a triumvirate?

Agreed. He was one of the first players I really took to when I started going. Shame that top flight football came too late in his career.

Chesterfield's number 2, Colin Tartt's impression of John MacPhail's protesting against the penalty award is funny!

Stan's "goal" and sending off is from 9:55. It was the same ref that sent off Peter Beagrie, Billy Gilbert, Mick Tait and Kevin Dillon in the 1st half of that home game against Pompey in 1986

Was it disallowed for handball? Can't see anything else wrong with it.

Neither did I

 

[Darren]

Neither did I

It's a bad clip. but it does look like he may have controlled the ball with his arm. Stan obviously didn't think so

The general play looks awful. That was such a poor team.

Colin Tartt later became a games teacher at Gosforth while he was still playing for Port Vale in 1983/84. I remember one morning one of my class-mates said to him "Thanks for beating Hull last night, sir."
