TC 50th. Anniversary

[Isaw Joeshaw]

As many of you will know, the 26 th. of February will be the 50th. Anniversary of the great man's debut for the Blades, and what a debut it was.

The nearest home game to that is on the 20 th. Feb and, coincidentally, is against QPR who he went on to play for.

This seems to me to be the perfect opportunity for both sets of fans to show their appreciation for one of the games truly outstanding individuals.

I understand the club have been reminded about this special occasion in our history but I'm not banking on them to do anything so perhaps fans can organise something to make sure this very special occasion does not pass by without some form of recognition of the man voted our greatest ever player.

C'mon Blades, let's be 'avin yer.

 

[Bert]

Bert grew up watching Currie, he was head and shoulders above anyone since......... however he's totally fed up with the ex player being wheeled out and having his arse kissed every five minutes.
The club have done too many things for Currie as it is.

Is that every five minutes or a couple of times in 50 years.?

As for having done too many things for him, we did a lot more for Derek Dooley and he never kicked a ball for us.

But don't worry, if he gets a minutes applause or something similar, you could always stand there with your hands by your side and a face like a slapped arse.

Normal look?

Are you seriously suggesting that the club should organise a minutes applause for Currie before a game?

Why does Bert get his arse kissed?

Is it something to do with the thrid person bollocks?

What happens in Cuba, stays in Cuba.

 

[Blackheath Blade]

I would've suggested a round of applause on 10 minutes if that would gain Bert's approval?

Nothing less than a 200 foot high statue in the car park a bit like the Saddam Hussain one.

Coupled with a pre match introduction to both sets of fans ( to a soundtrack of ' You Can Do Magic ) sounds just about right to me.

This anniversary, so close to the anniversary of the Munich disaster, set me thinking about about how quickly things change. Duncan Edwards and TC are 2 of my absolute favourites, and although the difference in age was not much more than 10 years, they seem worlds apart in my mind. Duncan Edwards belongs to a world in black-and-white, hard but fair, ordinary lad who achieved fame but not fortune. TC, just a few years later, belongs to a different world - long hair, a colourful world, where the flamboyant footballers became celebrities whose lives were endlessly covered in the media. Did the world, and football in particular, really change that much between 1958 and 1968? Are our memories distorted by the images which remain (colour v black-and-white)? Will today's youngsters look back at the players of today and those of 10/15 years ago, and regard them as belonging to totally different eras?

The 1960's was an incredible decade of change. Probably the most significant decade of the last century apart from the 1940's.

Bobby Charlton who played in both eras remains in my mind a player of the 'black & white' era and yet his team mate George Best was so instrumental in developing that era of 'colour'.
