Old United games on You Tube

[United Aren't Back.]

Our record against the bottom 4 that season were won 2, lost 6!

Scored 4 v Gillingham at Lane including a goal by Francis Joseph.
1 0 v Aldershot towards end of season on a hot Bank Holiday Monday.
Deane obviously.
David Barnes changed his torn shorts on the edge of the pitch, playing for Aldershot that day.

Another rarity that.

I'm not sure I've seen this before - what a free kick by Edwards!

Earliest known recorded GCB at beginning?

There's some good stuff on that YouTube channel from the 80s/90s.

Not a game, but a Football Focus article about us in 1985 and our 'Dad's Army'.

We invariably seem to lose on a lot of this old footage , so here's one that should warm a few hearts... it's us beating Luton away 6-3 and Kevin Gage almost scoring a hat-trick!

Leicester was always a lively day out in the early 70's. Nice when Woody slots one straight in from the corner though

Tranmere 3-3 Blades 1998.

Tranmere 3-3 Blades 1998.

I remember a 3-2 win at Tranmere the following year. We were two down at one stage and Dellas got a couple of goals.

Tranmere 3-3 Blades 1998.

That was when we played 4 games in 9 days at the end of the season. We only got one point - from this game - and scraped into the playoffs after Birmingham failed to beat Charlton on the last day whilst we lost at Stockport.

Rumours flying around that he got black eyes from an incident at the Cricketers pub two days earlier. Kelly couldnt play in the match due to an injury so Tracey had to play!

Tranmere 3-3 Blades 1998.

Can't believe that's the same Andy Parkinson who scored their 3rd that Warnock signed.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Thought Blackburn had taken the kop for a minute. It's actually at Blackburn, not the Lane.

Yes, I heard that too.

Love how the play button is positioned so it looks like it's censoring Thompson's gargantuan conk.

Definitely NSFW.

A controversial game against Everton in the League Cup. Was United's second goal offside? Did Everton's equaliser cross the line?

Miles offside

That season in Division 4 taught me how football could be brilliant fun even if you were in the bottom tier. Great memories.

Just went on to youtube and without typing anything in , Colchester United 5 Sheffield United 2 highlights came up!
One of only 4 defeats of that 4th division season and I was at the game! 4
40 years ago., and I wish I hadn`t been. 3-0 down in 9 minutes.
How were Jimmy Hill and Match of the Day covering a 4th division match? Must have been a quiet day!

 

[Maurice Maurice]

If you have a spare 40 minutes, this is well worth watching

Here's one I've never seen before. Winning 2-1 at Hull in 1987-88.

Beagrie's acrobatic goal celebration!

I also found our 5-1 defeat at Leeds in 1974. Dearden scoring a consolation and Eddy missed a penalty, but decided against as who really wants to watch that!

Also found a 2-0 home defeat to Millwall in early 1979, pitch was dreadful. Decided not to post for similar reasons including some comical defending with ex Blade Warboys scoring after Kenworthy's attempted clearance rebounds off him into the net.

Warboys didnt play for Millwall. It was John Seasman who scored Millwall's 2nd. He later played for Millers

You're right of course. I'm getting mixed up with another game I watched against Bristol Rovers that we lost 3-2 after being 2-0 up! It was the one where Woody scored that great goal where he bursts past about 3 players and leathers it from the edge of the box. Can't remember the significance of the goal but there was one.

Was it Woodwards 200th goal ?

Broke Doc Pace's post war goal record (think it was 141). Woody's post war record of 157 goals still stands. Two ex-Blades scored all Bristol Rovers goals. Dave Staniforth and Alan Warboys (2)
