Old’er Uns Help please

[Bert]

Harry senior had 6 England caps but Harry junior was never capped

Yet another injustice against the man

 

[B14Nco]

Given he's the most successful player/captain to ever grace the shirt, should the great man not be front and centre. Not a criticism, just a slightly biased opinion (see my avatar )

I like it, though, really good idea and definitely worth the effort, liking the developing work. Any consideration for Jimmy Dunne? Giving his scoring records (I know it's another pre-war), he still holds the record for most number of goals in a Blades season, not to mention the still standing all-time record of scoring in 12 consecutive matches. I think he's still the highest scoring Irishman in the English leagues.

Yep he’ll get on there!

 

[B14Nco]

Isn't there room for that other scoring sensation ..... I know he scored against us, but he does have a Statue in the Car Park .............

I’ve been trying to work out where to put him.

I’m going to add managers to the end of the rows... so think I will add him there.

Do yourself a favour and don't put Derek Dooley within 100 miles of your picture.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Yep he’ll get on there!

He'll be the hardest looking chuff on there. There's a photo of him in a Blades shirt, fuck me I'd run the other way if he was coming towards me!

Do us all another favour and put a shirt of Peschi pleeaaasseee!!!!

 

[Bashambauer]

Personally I'd also consider including a few from Chris Morgan, Derek Geary, Rob Kozluk, Nick Montgomery, Stephen Quinn, Michael Tonge and Matt Kilgallon. Granted they're weren't superstars but still prominent players that wore the red and white during the noughties...

 

[B14Nco]

Was Trevor Hockey really only 5’6?

 

[Sean Thornton]

Hipster haircut.

View attachment 40277 Right then. I’ve atarted a 1889-2018 Team picture. See Above. (It’s not I repeat not going to be a Sheffield United eating lunch on a metal girder looking out over Sheffield - although I might do that at some point )

Anyway. I want to add a sprinkling of historic legends. My issue is I have no clue how tall they were!

I’ve got a good idea for e.g Edwards, Hemsley, Woodward etc but the ones I’m struggling with that I’m going to add are:

Derek Pace
Graham Shaw
Jimmy Hagan
Len Badger
Alan Hodgkinson - 5’9 (I think?).
Tony Kenworthy

Do any of you happen to know ‘roughly’ how tall these guys were?

Also... I’m not intending on adding (Gil Reece, Cec Coldwell, Ernest Needham, Mick Jones or Trevor Hockey) would this be a mistake?

Any help would be appreciated.

Surely Mr Foulkes would bend the girder? You got to include him. First Lane legend?

 

[B14Nco]

So this is coming along. Two rows down - two to go! (ignore how little Simon Tracey looks like Simon Tracey - I need to rework it but I’ve already done so a few times so need to take a break from him!).

Anyway... I’m going to add managers. I’m adding Harris, Bassett, Warnock and (controversially) Wilder... but that’s not up to debate question is... who am I missing historically? Is there one other that you think should be there?

Cheers!

 

[blade too long]

wheres trenton
you could put len de goey on the front row in clogs


seriously thought bill dearden and gil reece, legends

 

[B14Nco]

I'd include Lievesley, Gough, Smith and Burgin as well.

Out of these four if I was to add one more which would it be?

Might want to think about adding Chris Wilder towards the front of the piece. He could be setting fire to the posters he ripped down in the training ground and laughing and stamping on the ashes.

 

[Doddyontheball]

My grandad used to say in the 19 30’s to my dad after a match, Was Doddy on the ball? A giant of a man, Jock Dodds was and scored for fun

 

[Doddyontheball]

Brilliant

In terms of success John Nicholson would top the 'manager' poll by some distance, although he is always classified as Club Secretary and wouldn't be a manager as we know it today.

Bingo. Now just need to find a better picture!

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

He's always pictured stood up, never sat down. But this might he a better one:

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

 

[Silent Blade]

Unsurprisingly we lost 5-0

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

It wouldn't get played today.

 

[Bladethebrian]

If it's the last supper you're painting it's got to include Warnock unless anybody knows a better Judas.

Paddy K?

 

[Bladethebrian]

Macallister was better than all of them in my opinion.

Agreed

 

[XM657]

What a great photograph, not seen it before. A team in transition from the all conquering one of a few years previous. Transition to players in more ways than one. Back row L to R (players only) Old Harry Johnson-here's one transition Sievesley is Lievesley-Benson seems to be two players because I'd know George Waller if I saw him in the street. Now that would be a transition. Who's the missing player? I don't know and no time to look up at present.

 

[Silent Blade]

Albert Groves who was our right back is between Harry Johnson snr and Joe Lievesley

Agree must have reece and dearden

 

[8lade]

Paddy K?

I don't get the PK hatred and it was Warnock who took him.
