Though I do recall the 1987 cover’s David Frain, a fore-runner of O’Hare (?) ; why did we not retain Frain at the time?

He wasnt as good as O'Hare. I remember a Flashing Blade contributor saying that he missed a going to a match because he was laid low with flu and was "feeling as weak as a Frain tackle"

Good goal against Sunderland though.

Blades 3 (Mills og, Field 2) Ipswich 1 (Lambert)

I was surprised that we had won against the media darlings, Ipswich, and my fears about getting relegation were disappearing fast. As I was at Mary Hare I didnt find out who had scored until the next morning. Only the prefects were allowed to read the newspapers until the papers were delivered in the Reading room at 11am. After breakfast I managed to persuade a prefect to find out who had scored for the Blades. He went to find out and came back to me saying "Mills own goal, Field two". Not the scorers I was expecting. It wasnt...

Blackburn away 1980 as our first ever season in Tier 3 came off the rails.

Don’t think I was actually there.

Any recollections anyone?

Was Kendall player manager then?

I also notice the referee was Peter Willis, who later became the first referee to send off a player in the FA cup final.

Easter Monday game we lost one nil. That was the third of the Easter weekend games that finally put at end to our lingering promotion hopes. We were 4 points off 3rd going into the Good Friday game at struggling Southend with 7 to play.

We lost there 2-1 to a last minute goal, then drew with Wednesday 1-1 on the Saturday before the last over 40,000 crowd at the Lane (Curran getting THAT goal) before the defeat at Ewood.

Noticed the Kendall P-M thing too.

His management stint with us totally unmemorable. Was their any high point?

Curran our most bizarre old boy! Unforgettable for what he did to us. Totally forgettable as to what he did for us!?!
