In terms of homegrown talent Gareth Bale is a decently sized omission. Missed him in his early Championship days, then we were in the Championship/L1 during his PL stint and breakout with Spurs, he'd left the club by the time we played them in the League Cup in 14/15, and then was an unused sub at the lane in 2021.

Remember that game well. Standing on John St West abusing the ginger kid Hopkin. At least that ended well!!

How great to have four Blades in that side.

Maradona should have had a career at bdtbl, but United said nah and a 17yr old was not worth it. Had he signed would we have sold him to Leeds and then gone to the 4th division, would there ever have been a hand of god ......
