The last time we won at Arsenal. August 1971. After beating Southampton 3-1 in the opening game of 1971-72 season we went on to win the next three games, 3-0 v L**ds (1969 League champs), 1-0 v Everton (1970 League champs) and 1-0 v Arsenal (1971 double winners)

Let's have one bang up to date. Hopefully Blades will look back at this in years to come with just as much warmth and affection as we do now looking back on the Harris and Bassett eras. UTB.

It was on the corner where Halfords was. Too young to go in when open.

Neither very old nor Blades-related, but I thought some of you might like to see expensive Wednesday flop Gary Hooper failing to score from the spot for Celtic v Hibernian on the opening day of the 2011/12 season.

My first town drink was in the Dove and Rainbow ,before braving the ridicule of going into Stonehouse to see if it had a roof on or not
