New York Cosmos: Blades Link!

[St Albans Blade]

Peter Anderson ?

Indeed. Did he finish the dribble from Sabella against Sunderland with a tap in?!?

Nope, I was wrong, that was Steve Finnieston.

But here's that dribble for everyone...


The way Sabella accidentally took out the ball boy behind the net is a classic too!

And a bonus point for anyone who can name our Number 2 who started the move?!?

Bobby Moore on the top right!

 

[Revolution]

Pele’s 1977 autobiography “My Life and the Beautiful Game” describes Field, Eddy and Garbett as “excellent players”.

He was, however, less than impressed with Ken Furphy, who he did not rate as a motivator or a tactician.

 

[St Albans Blade]

Never mind him, what about Cruijff?

Johan Cruyff - Wikipedia

Good point...

 

[Silent Blade]

Bobby Moore on the top right!

Yes, looks like you failed to spot the ex-Blade player with Pele and Beckenbauer in the showers photo.

John Cutbush

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Colin Franks!

Yay !!!!!!!

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

9 looks like David Frain, 11 seems like John Flood, but I'm really clutching at straws, do tell who are this famous foursome?!?

Extreme right is the only Blade ((to my knowledge) - further (better?) clue below
Reliably informed the extreme left is the pig, Gary Bannister ( whoever that may be )

Centre left Mark Hateley
C / right Jim Hagan (obviously not our Jimmy H) - most famous (sic) for >130 games for Birmingham ?!

 

[Blade1959]

Bannister Hateley & Hagan all on loan from Coventry

Is that an older, wiser David Bradford?

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Is that an older, wiser David Bradford?

Don’t know about the wiser - especially given the haircut is still shite, but yes it is

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Don’t know about the wiser - especially given the haircut is still shite, but yes it is

Although to be fair to the lad it is (something of) an improvement form previous

 

[Kenny Powers]

Pretty sure it's ex blade, Tony Field on the right and played in the Cosmos team with Pele and Beckenbauer.



 

[Kenny Powers]

Colourized it for you

 

[St Albans Blade]

Yes, looks like you failed to spot the ex-Blade player with Pele and Beckenbauer in the showers photo.

No, clearly a shocked Tony Field

My gosh, David Bradford apparently morphing towards being Trevor Hockey!?!

Great book actually, details the very humble start for Pele, the equivalent of a Herdings Hero

Pity he couldn’t tackle like TH

I once saw David Bradford score a beauty against Spurs from the edge of the [Mick] Box.

Curler, top corner, kop end - stood right behind it on John St & knew it was going in as soon as he hit it
He had all the attributes (apart from fashion sense) to be a top player - guess he suffered as many did in that woeful relegation side & particularly for him the presence then absence of TC - couldn’t get a regular game & then expected to replace him

That's the one. Ken Furphy said he would be the first million pound player. He wasn't.

I remember Tony Pritchett comparing David Bradford to Billy Bremner!

Jesus
With the pressure of comments like those there’s little wonder he didn’t (quite) make it
