Was it a nurse wearing a hat, by any chance? Along with a nurse wearing a 'Zippy' backpack?
Thought you were a dib-dab, different uniform owlie!

Was earlier reminded of Overreaction Man, who sits near where the much-missed "You've had a great game referee" used to be. Always having a go at the 'biased' officials, and at least once a game, his distinctive voice will shout "Referee... he's GOT to go" following a foul that could range from a leg breaker to simply breathing on someone.What's happened to the bloke that sat in gangway F of the South Stand who always used to shout "You've had a great game referee" at some point in the second half (unless the ref had indeed had a great game... though I think he'd still say it anyway)? He was the only entertainment some weeks. Some years, in fact.
Think I saw the twins biking away on John Street towards BL after the game
Long blonde hair, moustache, Viking, veteran supporter was walking down Bramall next to Bert after the game.
Bert should be keen to note that the long haired,moustachioed, Viking lookalike veteran supporter has been nicknamed Asterix.......
Lol, I may have been with them but I wasn't one dressed as a nurse!Thought you were a dib-dab, different uniform owlie!
I call him Alfred after the strawberry blonde tashy bloke from the popular children's game, "Guess Who"Bert should be keen to note that the long haired,moustachioed, Viking lookalike veteran supporter has been nicknamed Asterix.......
Lmao, I wasn't even born in this era
In the early 80s there was the Old Racist Man who stood near the front of the Kop and made monkey noises at any black players. He did come across as a bit senile. Stood nearby, against a pillar was Old Lady With The Transistor Radio.
Up until about five years ago there was a Friendly Old Black Lady who stood outside her house on Woodhead Road, who said hello to everyone as they walked to the ground and goodbye as we walked home. We used to say that she was the person who counted the attendance (probably no less accurately than some of the official attendances over the years (allegedly)). Sadly, she appears to be no longer around. Unless she has given up on the Blades as well.
It was always good to see a cheerful face following a poor Blades performance.Sadly, she's been gone some time now.
Good Yorkshire expression.There was also a middle aged guy who was fond of shouting "bleeding hell fire!" When things went wrong.
Sorry meant guyKnow who you mean but I suspect he's straight.
2 seasons ago? Always wore a grey coat.
Does anyone know "Tossers These"?.
He used to sit halfway up the kop behind the goal in the early 00s. He'd shout "come on lads, tossers these" about every team we played, week in week out. I even remember him shouting it just after Man City had put a third goal past us in one match.
For a good few years there was a bloke on the Kop towards the back of Gangway D who would, without fail, shout 'C'mon Blades, they're shit, these!' five minutes into every match, whether we were playing Hartlepool or Arsenal.
Haven't heard him in a while now though.
Pair of ageing fucking hipsters the row in front of us who - this season - get in late, go for a piss after twenty minutes, come back, go out ten minutes before half time, come back in five minutes after second half kick off and go for a minimum of two pisses in the second half. The bloke near the end of the row always looks like he going to chin them. The bearded, flat capped oldest swinger in town tossers.

I think "Mad Bill" and "Briefcase Man" might be one and the same.
What about Attendance Man on the Kop who always used to stand up and celebrate when the attendance was announced. He might still do but I sit in the JSS now with the kids where there is Get in't Box Lady who demands that our entire team reside in the box when defending or attacking. Plus Scottish Skier who is an old chap that wears a tartan flat cap and a 1980s Ski Jacket (which replaced a different 1980s Ski Jacket approximately 18 months ago).
