There should have been a song!

We could still be singing it.

Sheffield United 7 Sheffield Wednesday 3

The ground was bursting at the seams. Late comers who coul'n't pay because the gates were closed climbed theShorham walls, I couldn't get closer to the action than in front of the cricket pavilion. 7-3 was special. It made my Saturday,, really.really special. It became even better when I visited rellies who were owls and I gave them heaps. Did I forget to mention that Tom Mcnearney, who had a torrid time against the guy in my Avator, lodged with said rellies. Never mind Boxing Day. The stick I gave Tommy more than made up for that. Truhfully, he took it in a good way. I was banned from turning the screw for a week or too though.

I was there - with my best mate who was a Wednesday fan. Part of the deal was that I had to go and watch Wednesday with him later in the season. Dooley was playing in that match. I forget how many he scored but I think it was a hat-trick. For some reason Dooley didn't play at Bramall Lane.

Dooley was playing for Wendy reserves on the day we beat them 7-3 but he played in the fixture at the sty in New Years Day and scored in our 3-1. We did the double over them that season but the funny thing is that we finished in 11th place and Wendy finished as champions

Said with great emotion that it was a good day, maybe the best, to be a blade. Thanks for the spot TB, made a father and son very happy.

It's odd how our loud neighbours in S6 don't have a song about that one.

shows you in the bigger picture derby games mean nowt, going up would have been oodles better
but 7-3 is always worth remembering

 

[GAZBLADE]

Aah, i was full of snuff that day!

 

[Kentblade]

What a match that was, one never to be forgotten, and probably will never be repeated.
Was it really 61 years ago,that we had the excitment of the Blades in that era.
