Classic King Keith v Bradford City March 1986...

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!

That game was on Big Match revisited recently. How on earth that finished 5-1 I will never know. We were by far the better side.

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)

And here it is if you can bear to watch. Note Elton John presenting The Big Match....

Yes in addition to Eddy's missed pen, we hit the woodwork twice and had numerous chances. Whereas two or three of their goals came from some horrific defending.

I was at boarding school. A Leeds-supporting pupil informed me that we were winning 2-0 and that Woody had scored (this Leeds fan was a big Woody fan). I thought we were to get a big win. Many of the pupils were on their way to the school xmas party but I was still in the tv room along with a few others watching the Final Score on the Grandstand vidiprinter. It was a shock that we hadnt scored in the 2nd half and that Bristol Rovers had scored 3! My mates looked at my shocked reaction!

Yes I was at Elland Road that day, we were all over them in the 1st half!

Check out some rare Monty skills in the lead up to the first goal!

Losing to Norwich 3-2 in FA Cup replay in 1959.

Beagrie's acrobatic goal celebration!

I was at that match, but the dust of decades made me think that Andy Kennedy scored the winner. More grey hairs than grey cells now obviously...

 

[Large Mendonca]

Quite possibly my favourite Blades goal, scored by one of my favourite players - Dane Whitehouse. Even this footage doesn't do it justice, not sure I've seen a ball struck so sweetly since

3 good goals. That was Mel Eves’ only goal that season after scoring 9 the year before: he was injured a lot.

Liked Mel Eves. Real livewire to cope with....

Andy Kennedy played for us on loan the season before

Love how the police are stringently policing the game

I still have nightmares about this game; it sums up that era of United's history.

Not sure if anyone here was around in 1952!

Yes I was thinking after I watched it, how many times in that period from say 1976 to 1981 did we lose after leading by 2 goals?

Millwall at home 28th March 1981,was very costly at the end of the season!

I remember thinking that we were doomed after that Millwall game. And I was right.

Yes it was a bad one, though as well you know we still had enough chances to escape!

We spent a total of 5 minutes in the relegation zone all season. Unfortunately it was the last 5 minutes.

 

[ancientblade]

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

can remember seing the coaches coming back up snig hill while we were queing to get in the merrie england bar under the black swan

 

[1973Blade]

Not a happy game, including Mike Trusson scoring against us!

 

[1973Blade]

If you have a spare hour, you can watch Wilder playing against Middlesbrough for us!

I do keep checking on You Tube, my hope is that one day a video of United v Walsall will appear (I don't know why it was a depressing game, but a big moment in my childhood). I enjoyed seeing the videos you did of United in the 80s. I always thought Porterfield wasn't given the credit he deserved for that period.

There used to be a very good website listing all United's various TV appearances. Its sadly defunct, but I copied it before it died. Sad to say, the Walsall game was not on the list and, so, is highly unlikely to have been filmed by anyone.

Actually, that site is now here...
