TC's goal in his Blades debut

[Silent Blade]

55 years ago today Tony Currie scores in his Blades debut. Blades 3 (B. Wagstaff, Currie, Reece) Spurs 2 (Greaves, Chivers)

 

[JOE SHAW 1956]

Don't think that's Currie ?? I was there , but could just be a bad old photo ??. .

 

[RammyBlade]

I was at that match - it doesnt look like TC !

Yes, it is him. He had short hair until the 1970s

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Looks like the flying Welsh man to me.

No, Reece's winner was at the Kop End

Why is the ball an apostrophe

Yes it has to be him ! Not a regular header of the ball that was a rare one. What a debut that was ,remember even now he had the ball on the touchline on the terrace side a couple of spurs closed in on him ,they couldn't tye him down it was clear even then he was a special talent just 18 he was at the time.
We managed to get relegated as well losing a lot of home games on the bounce.
This after beating Liverpool at anfield on good Friday 2-1. We just collapsed after Fulham came from 2 down to beat us 3-2! Fulham were already down really by then we just couldn't buy a win at home.

yes that was the game that cost us our first division place finlay along with wraggy flogging mick jones to leeds the previous september we were coasting against fulham at 2 up but completly went to pieces after their first goal was at that 3 - 2 game with spurs fantastic match

Bad grammar isn’t a new thing

Bernard Shaw,if he played ?

 

[Sneinton Blade 1952]

Agree it doesn't look like Currie - and I don't recall his headed goal being headed down like that that night. Recall him rising above his defender to head home. But it was 55 years ago. That's definitely the reliable John Flynn in the background.

Yes, he played

Woodward in the background
Flynn didn't join us until summer 1969

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

Yes, he played

I’m pretty sure it’s Bernard Shaw,i can only assume the Sheffield Telegraph used the wrong photo,my long term memory is good,i just can’t remember what happened yesterday !!

I got my silk scarf nicked off me by Tottenham Hotspur fans near the Siver Blades whilst waiting for the 71 circular bus after the game !!!!

 

[Ginger Gnome]

I checked with James Shield, he says it's Peter Ndlovu.

 

[Lane Ender]

Lesson one lads never question Silent about any Blades history.
I thought it looked like Bernard Shaw but he couldn’t jump that high

Oh yes. That's right. An age thing eh ...

I'm going to commit the cardinal sin and go against Silent Blade on this one. That certainly looks like Bernard Shaw. The Star might just have used the wrong photo.

I can still see him rising to nod that first Blades goal,was right behind the goal.

 

[Dnblade]

Remember watching from JSWT..Great debut,I was only 8 so very sketchy,but remember me and my Dad being impressed with TC..Jimmy Greaves scored as usual,as my Dad predicted.
Not a great likeness on the photo though.

 

[finlaytheblade]

Yes, it is him. He had short hair until the 1970s

On reflection and studying the picture it is more likely to be Bernard Shaw TC scored at the Bramall Lane end don't think that picture was it!.
