December 1975. Blades 1 Man U 4.

Stuart Pearson, Sammy McIlroy, Lou Macari, Jim Brown, ref and Paul Garner
Is it Mr Kirkpatrick? Probably not but who ever he is his position mean he would never have seen Pearson's hand ball goal if he could have reached it.
Photo don't flatter Jim Brown's positioning, having said that, photo seems to reflect the final score line.🙁
 
The match was in March 1978, we lost 3-1. Blade fan, Peter Kitchen, scored a hat trick
Some Blades fan😊
Anyone remember James Beattie missing a sitter v Southampton at the Lane?
That's how you show your allegiance. 😅Their fans sang "that's why we let you go".

A Sikh gent was referee I think.

I think our goal was a penalty? Didn't it hit the bar but scored the rebound? Went to the game at Old Trafford earlier in the season and they trounced us 5-1 I think? 9 against in total? Bad season that one wasn't it😞
 

I worked in the same group as Albert Cox's daughter about 20 years ago and she gave me this newspaper cutting. 6 days after the photo was taken, we thrashed Wendy 7-3.

Top row: ?, Fred Furniss, Derek Hawksworth, ?, Eric Burgin, Howard Johnson

That's brilliant Silent. Played at Shiregreen CC many a time myself.

Bad, and it got worse until the small ray of sunshine of 81-82. Mediocracy of most of the 80's, then the sun shone when DB arrived. Not all brillient, grey days in amongst the sunshine but boy what a ride.
 
The tale about him signing for us is astonishing really. Villa one day, Blade the next. One Christmas I think?
Yes, he was signed on Xmas Eve 1957, there were no announcements of the signing on radio and in the papers. My dad remembered that he was puzzled when he saw the new face wearing the number 9 shirt and spectators were asking each other "who is the number 9?". He did score on his debut
 
Thanks for posting that. He was a much more important player than was often recognised. For us, he hardly missed a game, scored regularly, always gave maximum effort, and came across as a modest guy. We had that outstanding defence all the years he was with us, but his goals turned that solidity into success. It amazes me that he did not have similar levels of success elsewhere over a longer period. He was the right signing at the right time for the Blades.
