Steve Simonsen

When he ran into the leyton orient player dropping the ball at his feet allowing him to score..
Then appealing for a free kick
Glad he's no longer at the club tbh!

Lowtons was the main one for me ,but his weak attempts after those first 2 were pathetic.

The best taker of our penalties that day was your hero, Matt Hill! He should have been one of the first 5

Ah, yes. Finally the penalty makes sense.

Can't imagine you would get good odds on the Blades losing a play-off final

I also met Simmo after the Brentford away game, and he traveled back in to London with me and my mates on the train, as he was getting the train back to Liverpool instead of going back to Sheffield with the squad, and he was a sound lad, had a bit of banter with us, and was happy to pose for pictures, although he did seem unusually nervous and unconfident for a footballer.

I have seen him in a social setting and that's my impression of him too.

I believe one of the reasons we didn't go up in that 1st season under Wilson was because he dropped simmo and put long in. Remember the Exeter game? Those points would have taken us up

Connecting that Wembley penalty that Simmo missed with his recent betting ban is a load of bullshit if you ask me.

What he has been done for is a few accumulators on the football, which is something most people do anyway. As long as he isn't betting against his own team to lose or throwing games i don't really see any issue with players having a fixed odds coupon as long as it doesn't involve their own team.

I felt a bit sorry for Simonsen during his time at the Lane. He did pull off some top quality saves, and did have some excellent games, but unfortunately he will be better remember for some of his howlers. He certainly wasn't one of the better keepers we had, but he dropped a league to join us, a team where morale was low, and who dropped through the Championship like a stone.

Just a shame for the lad that it came down to him to miss that penalty at Wembley.

Generally agree with all you say as we were on the same train talking with Simmo.
We got off at the same station and wished one another well.
