10th November 1973, Upton Park. West Ham United full back Frank Lampard makes the mistake of taking on Sheffield United's Eddie Colquhoun.

Only going to be one winner there

That photo should be a compulsory addition to all coaching manuals, under the heading "How to make a corner kick go above waist height and past the six yard box"

I remember being away at QPR years ago and Marsh was paraded on the pitch at one bit. A load of Blades gave him stick for breaking McAlister's leg.

I was one of said Blades.

Pitsmoor?

Pitsmoor?

Ignore, just seen your reply, Burngreave. Closer than Silent though

 

[Silent Blade]

Kenworthy and John Matthews?

Kenworthy, yes, but I think the other Blade is Barry Butlin?

Looks a bit too chunky for Butlin. I assume it was a cup game? Bit of a guess, but Andy Keeley?

 

[Robby Blade]

Pitsmoor?

Yes, between Carlisle St and Peter St. Lived with my grandmother 'cos my parents didn't have anywhere else to live. Moved to Lowedges when I was 9. Grass, trees, own bedroom, like being in Heaven.

You know you're really getting old when it's not the son, but the grandson who's now playing, which is what I saw at the weekend with Tom Hateley playing for Dundee :-(

It makes you wonder how much of footballing 'skill' is down to nature or nurture. i.e. how much of it is it in your genes or down to practice (and lots of it).

Another good shout. I don't know the answer, tbh.

[Tunstall Fred]

He wouldn't have been that far back Houseman,he was your typical lazy winger,I reckon that Freddie blokes right

Or what about Marvin Hinton?

Didn't we take the lead in this game,hung on valiantly until 2 late goals from Cantona

Franz Carr or Deano scored for us?

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Shipps and Stretch?

Franz Carr opened the scoring. Brian McClair equalized and Eric Cantona scored the winning goal. 35th anniversary of the Munich disaster
