CONFIRMED Porter leaves for Colchester United

[Foxy]

...after the Blades terminate his contract.

I'm guessing they needed a penalty taker!

Good luck to him.

I'm guessing they needed a penalty taker!

Good luck to him.

Just in time for him to get one in a couple of weeks' time.

A decent move for all concerned I suppose - Porter is at an age where he needs to be playing, we've got some wages off the books.

I know he has his detractors, but I wish him well.

 

[metty]

all the best Chris. You tried but your best just wasn't good enough

 

[alcoblade]

I know he has his detractors, but I wish him well.

And I'm his biggest, but seriously - all the best Chris.

Thought he was ok personally

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I'll never forget that header against Stevenage when it seemed all was lost.

Thanks for the memories Chris.

 

[IOM Blade]

Aye, thanks for the memories Chris!

 

[madeinsheffield]

Scored some good goals, played his part in creating some fine memories. Always had the right attitude. Wish him well

 

[Guesty]

As above, gave us a few great memories despite generally not being up to it. I will say this, he had ice in his veins. He'd come on having been out of form for weeks, barely get a touch but when the Blades won a late penalty he'd step up and bury it nae bother.

Good luck Chris!

 

[Billyblade]

All the best Chris.
Some questioned his ability but you could never question his attitude and workrate.

 

[Linz]

Some of the comments on Twitter are laughable and indicative perhaps of the relative recentness of some of the support:

"thank fuck for that one off the worst players I've seen at lane"

is my particular favourite.

Not by a long, long way my young friend.

 

[stannyblade]

Better start bringing them in then now Nige.

See Brighton have said CO'G is going nowhere

 

[Mendi]

Shocked to see him joining Colchester. Their had the money after their sold Freddie Sears to Ipswich Town.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Gave everything he had, but sadly what he had wasn't worth very much.

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Scored some very important goals for us. For those, I say "thank you Chris".

 

[JJ Sefton]

In time he will receive his due as a Blades Legend.

Still can't understand why he hasn't been chanced at any point this season. Probably for the best good luck to him

Good luck Chris Porter, came across as a likeable, nice lad.

Always tried hard, gave 100% so I wish him good luck..

 

[Esablade]

it IS today dad, it IS!!!!

 

[Deleted member 875]

I appreciated Chris Porter for what he was, a solid pro who always gave his all for the cause, but knew his limitations.

One of the players I'm not particular sad about leaving, but one who leaves with my best wishes

 

[SwissBlade]

All the best Chris! You had your moments - forest last season in the cup and port vale away in the league! Good lad

 

[breeny]

I always thought he gave us something different - not going to get a chance to sing the song anymore.

 

[blade too long]

He had a purple patch last season , he spilt some Ribena on his track suit

 

[sitwell]

What did Brownie say to him in the Brothers ?
