The furthest flung place I have seen another Blade was on a ship taking workers to the Falkland Islands in '84 to rebuild the airstrip following the war.
I was a deck hand 17 years old and had my 18th birthday the day before we docked into Port Stanley. The guy who was a Blade was from Huddersfield and as committed a Blade as I've come across. He went to every away game but told me his wife said "if he went to the one at the weekend she wouldn't be there when he came back". He said she wasn't.
We got talking loads about the Blades and he came into the crews accommodation for my 18th. Good bloke but I did lose touch.

Fingers crossed I'll be there on my way to Antarctica in Spring 2022. Must remember to pack one of my Blades shirts.
 
In the mid nineties I was sat in a mobile bar in Albania. The ‘bar’ was a drop sided lorry with a bar in the corner and silver mirrors. It was mobile to avoid being made to pay gangster costs and he could go wherever the cash was to earn a crust.

In walks a Blade in a far too tight Lavers laces shirt. I had on a pair of United football shorts. I nodded, he nodded and we did nowt else.

I’m not sure if it was the surprise at seeing a Blade in such a strange place or the sight of my far too tight shorts that put him off further conversation. In hindsight those white Umbro shorts from 93 should never be worn anywhere other than on a football pitch or possibly on Grinder...

Always loads of Blades fans in Benidorm - except this year (we're all sat at home on our own watching BT Sport Box Office and Sky Sports Box Office).
 
Las Vegas strip, blades team.

took missus for her 30th in 2017 the year we were promoted to the championship. Virgin flight from Manchester, as we walked to the boarding gate I saw a large group of lads waiting to board, turned out to be the full team going on their jolly. I congratulated them and shook a few hands, congrats, up the blades, have a good un and all that. For some reason on the flight Leon clarke didn’t sit with the group, he was sat right behind me and our lass. After the hostess gave a congratulations to the team over the tannoy for promotion we briefly chatted.

2 days later walking down Vegas strip early afternoon I heard ‘that’s that blade from the airport’ turned round to 6 or 7 of the team pissed, couple of drunken hi fives later and watched em saunter off into some casino laughing and joking, thought to myself ‘what I’d give to be partying with them right now’ then looked at our lass and pictured a ball and chain! True story
 
Went backpacking round South East Asia, Australia, NZ etc after university with a couple of mates, one Wendy and one Blade. First night in Aus in Adelaide we went to a casino. Got chatting to this aussie guy, older than us, probably 30 odd. Said we were from Sheffield and he starts claiming he's a big Blades fan, despite never leaving Australia. Thought he was talking bollox until he rolled up his sleeve to show a big Blades tattoo. Said his dad was from Sheffield.

Invited us to stay with him down the coast in his remote house near the cliffs. I was up for it but my mates were scared he was going to Fritzel us or something so we never did.

Nah he was probably a dirty................... but if you only had your blades shorts on he was keeping you talking so he could get a good look ;)
 
In a car park in Looe, Cornwall in August this year. Turned round from ticket machine and behind me was a family who’s young lad had this year’s home shirt on.
’Up the Blades !’ I said with a smile and a thumbs up. Tumbleweed, nothing in return 🤷🏼
 
Back in 1976, I was camping in a field on the South Island of New Zealand. There was virtually nobody else there until a VW camper van rolled in with a young couple. We got chatting and I discovered they lived near High Storrs in Sheffield. To cap it all he was a big Blade. We had a very enjoyable evening supping bottles of Dominican bitter, a favourite Kiwi tipple.
 
in New York Nevade smiths bar when we played Newcastle danny webber scored i jumped up so did a bloke on his own at the end of the bar,

nevada smiths was also the new york branch of the newcastle united supporters club so it was a good day
 
I was in a bar in Doonbeg in Ireland out on the west coast & randomly saw a load of Blades memoribilia behind the bar.

It turned out the guy who was running the place for his old man felt so passionate as a child about how we were cheated out of the Premier League in the early 90s that he decided to start supporting us. He now comes across for a handful of games every year & follows all of our matches on the TV.
 
Seen blades on most holidays abroad in Greece/Spain etc but the one that made me laugh was down London somewhere around oxford street on a Monday morning in rush hour. I saw a cyclist wearing a blades hat and my automatic reaction was to shout Na Na Na Na he’s a blade and he’s a blade, the bloke looked over to me at the crossing and smiled which also nearly cost him his life with one of London’s finest red buses. We both laughed but the cockneys and tourists just looked bemused at what just happened.
 

I like it when you go into bars abroad with football tops on ceiling, first thing I do while drinking my pint os look for blades top.
 
Barbados about 10 years ago. Met a local guy selling coral trinkets on the beach on the south west of the island near our villa. Friendly bloke and got chatting for a while before he wandered off. A few days later ran into the same guy on the beach and he was wearing the black and red pinstripe Visit Malta away shirt. 'Na na na na' went the cry, he didnt look round; went over to him and said 'Sheffield United pal!' pointing at his shirt. Still nothing. 'You a Blades fan mate?' at which point he got a bit weirded out and gestured me to piss off! Odd one indeed.

I used to work next door to there, they always had interesting things out the back and on the washing line.

Didn’t see any Blades kits though.

Maybe a red and white glory hole?
 
About 2 weeks ago car with a Blades sticker in the LIDL car park in North Hykeham, was going to say something but I had to buy beer so it slipped my mind.
Anybody on here? I was the Goldfinger look-a-like with a slightly effeminate walk staring in your direction.
 
Summer 2003 (I think), in a little town called Marcel in the middle of France, we parked totally randomly behind a white van with a Blades sticker. We left a note under the windscreen wiper, and when we came back after "les frites et vin" or whatever, the van had gone but a nice "up the Blades " reply was under our wiper! We did wonder what the chances of that were!!

I was in the RAF serving in the Falklands and there were a few Sheff lads there - some piggies too but mainly blades. It was great to be so far from home and have some red and white around.
 
On a hike up a volcano in Santorini bumped into Johnny ,Kell brooks uncle 33 years ago was a blade I new from the metro in town
 
Was at a Safari park in S Africa about 12 years ago. Usual touristy things, walking with the elephants etc. Got talking to the guide/trainer who said he was Peter N'dulov's cousin.. Dont know if he was pulling my plonker but I did give him a big tip.!!

He’s probably Tony Yeboah’s brother when a Leeds fan shows up too ;)
 
Has anyone left their blades shirt with their favourite holiday bar to have hung on the wall or from the ceiling?
