Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Silent Blade]

My first away match, won 1 - 0 with a goal from Woody and I remember getting the Green Un that night and we were top of the First Division, Pigs were bottom of the Second. What a day!

The three blokes I went with fancied a pint outside the ground and so left me (a snotty nosed kid) in a cafe close by with some pop and crisps. I was shitting myself when a load of Everton lads came in hanging round the pinball machine and was really relieved when my fellow Blades came and got me. We were sat in the middle of the Everton lot on the side stand but when Woody smacked the ball home we all jumped up. Had to run the gauntlet getting back to the car but the joy I felt watching that marvelous bunch of players bring 2 points back from Goodison Park will live with me forever.

Any ideas why we played with the orange ball Silent?

There were a few matches around that time an orange ball was used but I never found out the reason for that if there was no snow on the pitch.

The pigs used a yellow ball in the early seventies from memory.

Plenty of the covers of the Football League Review magazine (given away with the programme), showed orange balls.

I always thought, and it's probably just me but I always thought the white ball felt lighter and moved quicker than the orange ball.

You will have seen HighfieldBlade 's photo before, it will have been in one of the Park Drive book of Football. Think you have one or two?

Oops, I didn’t recognise John Harris, only Don Revie. Not my finest hour….

Bert was thinking about John Harris the other day, it dawned on Bert that he's never heard John Harris' voice.

Different times.

Leeds v Stoke in December 1974

I went to this game with a mate who was a Leeds fan, as the Blades had an away game somewhere. Stood on the Gelderd End.

Possibly our worst ever shirt, covering our worst ever period, down to the Fourth.

Even worse than it just been some designer called Guy, or Sebastian's whim, it was engineered to fit our first sponsors on.

Absolute cracker of a goal by your namesake @35 seconds!
