Players you hated... and then we signed them

[DifferentClass]

Patrick Bamford, tek a bow.

Anyone else?

 

[S64 Blade]

Gary Madine

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Marlon King

 

[Pawk Patrol]

Terry Curran

 

[Scarebus]

I've never really hated Bamford. He's a down to earth lad, talks well, and does the business on the pitch. If anything, I respect him more for coming to us.

 

[North Riding Blade]

Patrick Bamford, tek a bow.

Anyone else?

I don't know any professional footballers well enough to hate them. Where do you know Bamford from?

 

[PokerBlade]

Stuart McCall. Remember seeing him against us and thinking he was a gobby shite trying to ref the game with all the moaning he did.

 

[Guesty]

I didn't hate him overall but I remember Stuart McCall being a right prick at the Lane a season or so before we signed him. I seem to remember he got a fairly early booking and should have had a second on about six separate occasions.

He was refereeing the game like Teddy Sherringham did when he played for West Ham.

Snap!

Don't think Dave Kitson was very popular when he was here, but I quite liked him and I couldn't stand him when he was with Reading.

 

[Grey Blade]

Never very keen on Vinnie Jones but warmed to him a little. Wouldn't say I ever hated him though

 

[b1ade4life]

Marlon King

Hated him before we signed him
Hated him when we signed him
Hated him when he left

 

[Rodley]

Never hated Bamford, don’t really get why people did in the past.

Leeds, reyt cunt when he were there.

I liked Kitson. Plus he always made for a great View From...thread. Guaranteed someone to be angry about him.

 

[Gannon's perm]

Hated him before we signed him
Hated him when we signed him
Hated him when he left

Still hate him

 

[Gannon's perm]

Wasn't keen on Leon before he signed. Won me over quick

 

[10-0 win]

Hate clubs not players at work

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Wasn't keen on Leon before he signed. Won me over quick

Leon Clarke, though it was brief, was my favourite ever Blades CF to watch. He had absolutely everything during that early season purple patch.

The only guy that comes close is Mousset, and his purple patch was even shorter!

 

[Gannon's perm]

It was easy to tell his quality right off the bat. Could be a bit of a mardy fucker though, but that made me love him all the more. Loved how he wore gloves, even before the clocks went back

Was good to see him at the Bash charity game and is a just a really nice guy too

 

[Maurice Maurice]

Keith Curle, grew on me a bit.
Gary Madine, still hate him with a passion.

 

[Winn Gardens Blade]

Never very keen on Vinnie Jones but warmed to him a little. Wouldn't say I ever have

Vinny Jones was class of the field he gave me and my mates 4 free tickets for Luton away when away fans were banned after Millwall rioted there Blades won 1 nil Deano scored.

 

[Maidenhead]

Curran is a bastard

 

[BerksBlade]

Vinnie Jones & Wally Downes.
Definitely Terry Curran.
Ambivalent towards Jones these days but still despise Curran & Downes.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I get the dislike of Bamford - think it was all down to his poorly concealed conning tactics v Villa.

Patrick Bamford: Leeds United forward 'regrets' deception incident in Aston Villa game

Leeds forward Patrick Bamford regrets the incident which led to a ban for deceiving a referee in April's draw against Aston Villa.

www.bbc.co.uk

He's much more professional at conning now though

 

[Booker4]

I've got one the other way round if I may suggest Kieffer Moore. Thought he was a really good signing who'd be an upgrade on McBurnie last summer. But he wasn't aggressive enough, not that great in the air, nowt special at all Then there's Wembley. It's not even the pass to Watson which was bad enough. It's the terrible decision making to not pass to Campbell in space to almost certainly score and then go 2 up. At 32 he should have known better.

Then leaves to go to Hollywood FC, although I blame Selles more for that. Not a fan to say the least of Moore.

As for the Op. I have it on record on here that Madine, Bamford and Clarke were all players I was delighted to sign and I never massively disliked any of them to be fair. Most players I've really not liked have never signed for us to be honest. Chris Waddle and Steven Gerrard would spring to mind!

 

[Gannon's perm]

Bobby Davison didn't take long to win me over either.

As a kid I used to hate Ian Rush, Liverpool constantly won everything and on the rare occasion it seemed like they might not, Rush would dig them out of a hole. Then he signed for Leeds.

So hated him before he signed, hated him for the brief time he was here. Still don't like him

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Madine was infamous for fighting blades.

Played a small part in a promotion that has changed the club for half a decade so I'll forgive him.

Leon Clarke. Always felt like one of those ex pigs who would always score against us. Became a tip striker for a short a and scored two at the sty

 

[LBA_Blade]

Jefferson Cáceres By far couldn’t stand his antics whilst I watched the Peruvian divisions and after a well thought through scouting mission, I couldn’t believe we had scouts out to Peru!

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Alan Quinn.

Not hate but he was a good player for Wednesday and took piss at the Lane before we came back to win 3-1.

Outstanding for United when him and Geary came over, two proper Blades.
