Ten Minutes Of Your Time, Please.

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Can NEVER get enough of this.

Sunday morning at BDTBL.
Deane announced as fit when I/we all thought he was lame.
Dane 1-0. Kop. Bedlam. GET IN.
Tracey givin' it The Dambuster's. Watch closely.
Deane 2-0. Woods' legs. HAVE IT.
Six points. Derby Double.
Finished 9th in the old Div 1.
Bassett era. Great times. Sometimes.

The first Sheffield league derby me and thousands of others had ever seen. In the 80s, we avoided each other and it was something that just wasn't going to happen. This helped build up the atmosphere on the day, with the exception of the Wembley game , it was the best atmosphere for a Sheffield Derby. Having said that, the next Sheffield derby should be a cracking atmosphere, whenever that may be!
On another note, the media always refer to these games as Steel City Derbies. Has any real fan used that term before?

Deane and Whitehouse scoring in one match against pigs then Wilson missing from a couple of yards. Does life get any better?

 

[UnitedBlade]

Joyous day and a couple of good bundles in there.

You, I/We know that answer!

We've not been a steel city since.....

Meadowhall and pre.

Just before the game Chris woods was interviewed and he said playing in a Sheffield derby didnt faze him att all because he had played in bigger ones before and fir England, cue a very nervous display, his handling, or lack of it when coming off his line was terrible, his performance definitely helped us win, fast forward to the match at their place, mid week, we beat the scum 2-0 was so loud radio hallam had to cut short a presentation to Derek dooley before kick off I took my young lad and left a few minutes from the end,walking along leppings Lane with "we beat the scum 5-1" the look on their faces,still sends a shiver down my spine, easily my favourite away game, what a great memory, made my day that.

I think maybe my favourite ever match. The first real derby I ever went to, hearing for weeks at school how the slick footballing pigs side was going to tear us a new one. For some reason we only managed to get one ticket between me and my dad and he let me have it - a fact I will never ever forget. I was sat on the old John Street and next to a pig and his wife, and I was on my own, but there was a lad in front of me who also seemed to be in a single ticket and when Dane's goal went in, we were very quickly best mates.

I was so ridiculously nervous, but the atmosphere was immense and Dane's goal was such a thing of beauty for a celebration. Sheridan and Warhurst (i think) collided and everyone laughed, then it broke to Gannon who played a great ball to Bryson, 1-on-1 with Woods and the whole ground was ready to go then Woods parried it, but Dane was in the right place and the explosion of celebration was made more so by how the goal built up.

I remember near the end and not shown on the vid that someone was through for us to make it 3 right near the end of the match but got hacked down by Warhurst again I think, and I went berserk wanting a red card and elbowed the pig sat next to me who took that moment to take his leave! Was a brilliant brilliant day and i couldn't speak properly for a good few days afterwards but I gave it a good go at all my pig mates at school who's only response was 'just wait till get get you back at ours...' HAHA.

Yes Pinchy, we're aware of your attitude towards Dangerous Dave's style of football, but can you not even find it in your heart to acknowledge a great derby victory against the odds?

Have another.... Building up quite a collection there, Chiefy.

I was there celebrating like everyone else. I also saw John Harris' proper football team beat the Pigs. Anyone interested in that? No, not in S2, where Diplodocus Dave reigns supreme. I bet he's the burning issue on Watford, Barnsley, Palace, Forest and Leicester fora this morning as well?

What? No mention? None at all? You're kidding me? Complete irrelevance, you say? Goodness me...

 

[gavtheblade]

Barnsley referee Steve lodge.
How did they ever get away with that!!

Barnsley referee Steve lodge.

Didn't matter.
PIGS had Calamity in goal.
Didn't read the script!

Not in anyway sayin' any PIG would try and influence a referee or bet on a football ma....
Scrub that.

Bloody hell Mr pinchy are you always this happy

The double in 1961-62 (Doc Pace scored all three), 2-0 at the Sty in Sept 64 (Birchenall scored 2 in his only 2nd game), 1-0 at home in Nov 1965 (Birchenall) and Feb 1967 (Punton) and finally the 3-2 win (Colquhoun, Dearden and Tudor - my first competitive Sheffield derby)

I saw only the latter two. Bill's winner from two inches was a delight.

Here's one for the old-timers. You will know, but let's see if anyone else does. What curious event do only John Tudor and Brian Deane (at least to my knowledge) have in common?...

 

[Seanshoreham]

Re. the 2-0 win.I was in that standing corner between the kop and john street. Before the match the pigs had stated that (in true pig style) they had bought thousands of tickets there and were "going to take it over"

Well about 200 prize porkers were right in the corner surrounded by police. We gave them plenty of verbal - loved the look on their faces, cause they thought they would walk it. In true pig style they fucked off at half-time, little curly tails between their legs

Scored with ball going in between goalies (Grummitt & Wood) legs.

Both were half hit shots too!

Shameless like bait.

As is that
When I moved to Worksop (spit) in 1998 ,we first looked at Barlborough ,the woman showing us round said proudly that one our neighbours was a certain Chris Woods ,20 minutes later we were in Worksop and agreed a sale. The day I bought the house was the same day that DiCanio pushed that Foriesteri styled referee over.

I'm interested, why do you assume I'm not? However, I was at the 1991 game, I wasn't at the earlier ones, so it's inevitable that my first hand memories are quite vivid. It was the first game I was at with my Dad and Trig Jnr (TE) and we went with no real expectation of a win. When the 2nd went in, I was practically delirious, I went dizzy and had to sit down. After the game, we went to a family party hosted by an oinker, where we won the back garden kickabout as well.

If you have any press coverage from the earlier games you mention, or even your own memories, or video clips, I'd love to see them posted on here.

Thanks in advance for your time and trouble.

And at the Lane end.

..

remember going to both games and the Birchenall double led to the green un headline tank double settles derby
enjoyed Bills daisy cutter , you do him a disservice he was at least a foot out

 

[Silent Blade]

And at the Lane end.

I didnt see Tudor's winner enter the net. I was a small 8 year old in the middle of the BLUT. I could see Tudor's strike which made me think it would be picked up easily by Peter Grummitt, the crowd in front of me stood up blocking my view of the 6 yard goal area but in a small space I could see Grummitt's anguished face looking over his right shoulder to look at the ball enter the net

You, I/We know that answer!

We've not been a steel city since.....

Meadowhall and pre.

Whatcha talking about isn't there a bronze statue in the middle of Meadowhall showing how thousands of Sheffield
people used to make a living . ( my own pops included )
A fucking statue .
