It's nice to finally find a fellow aficionado of Wales' Black Miners, I thought I was on my tod with that one!

Just shows how ppl interpret things differently I thought he was very complementary to us last night .
Good player for us , left after a fallout with Kendall & got a bit of stick on his return … no hard feelings from me

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Lets have it right, he's hardly going to go on a BBC live broadcast as a pundit and say "they're a right set of pricks these Blades fans". It's just not the done thing is it?

 

[Jon Bon II]

Crikey, I didn't realise he was so much older than Phil Starbuck and Glyn Hodges.

 

[Gin&Juice]

He got whatever revenge he needed scoring the 2nd in that horrific play off final.

Just be thankful Miners is spelt with an E and not an O

I have a memory of an article in one of the tabloids where he outright stated he hated United and wished us nothing but bad luck. He was quite complimentary last night so must have mellowed. I also seem to remember in the photos for the same article he was wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots, said he loved C&W music and drove a big American rig. Now I think about it, this bit seems like a fever dream!

He’s gone on record a number of times about his dislike for us.

Howard Kendall sold him to Bolton after a decent seasons averaging a goal every other game. As I recall the manner of his departure suggested something had gone off. There were rumours that Howard Kendall was a racist and this may have played a part but I believe these have been debunked.

He subsequently believed he’s been racially abused by our supporters when he returned with Bolton although most accounts from our side suggest there was a chant of “you fat bastard” which was possibly misheard as something else.

I was only about 10 when he started playing for us but really liked him as a player. Signed from Cardiff after being the star of their cup run in 94. A good finisher with bags of pace, it seemed like we’d found a replacement for Brian Deane. Maybe I’m misremembering but was gutted to see him leave.

He seemed to have it all, pace, strength, good shot with either foot and a great leap too. The problem was, he was also bone idle, which is probably why Kendall binned him off.
I believe he still holds the record for most relegation from the Premier League with 5, although Aaron Ramsdale could be in with a shout before his career is over.

I’ve got the same picture mate

Why have you got a picture of Foxy

 

[sitwell]

Lazy fat tosser, Blake not Foxy, one of my most disliked players for Utd, never felt he had any affinity with the club at all.

 

[Overthehills]

Whilst it annoys me to hear us referred to as Sheffield (particularly with former blades), I would think any footballing negativity surrounding us last night was probably justified. It is hard to be complimentary towards a team who couldn’t string passes together.

 

[Nedski]

I had it on the telly on mute and Radio Sheffield on over the top just to avoid the Boyo Bias and instead had Leigh Bromby calling us “Sheffield” all night. Adam Oxley kept emphasising Sheffield UNITED, but he didn't get the hint and carried on relentlessly.

I’d like to think its because he played for both us and them lot and now considers us the only team in the city worth mentioning, rather than the ill-prepared, phoning it in, disinterested boring bastard he came across as.

What's happened to Asaba on there? He actually gave a shit and was clued up in what was actually happening at the club.

Asaba reluctantly gave it up as he didn't have the time. He's been a big loss as he would genuinely shout with excitement when we scored, it was great.

Good player for us, good finisher, had a decent touch and a massive arse.

Wasn’t his Mum on Crimewatch around the time he played for us or have I just made that up?
.

I remember something about her being caught shoplifting, and for some reason I remember it being around the time of the Udinese game where we had a few red cards.

I'm sure there were a few accusations thrown at Nathan for stealing wallets in the changing rooms but I'm not sure how accurate they were.

 

[Harrisblade]

Played for us and all night on bbc comms has called us Sheffield…..

Weren't you able to tell that it was us he was talking about?
(and arguably, very few neutrals would be listening anyway)

 

[Pollingtonblade]

The thing is, if Bassett had stuck Blake straight in the team when we signed him we would have stayed up that season.

Listening to him last night he seems to have conveniently forgotten this article where he wanted us relegated. He got a lot of abuse for celebrating in front of us after scoring for Wolves in the play off final but that was in relation his weight. His comments last night about playing at BDTBL and the atmosphere is a complete contradiction to what he said in 2011.
