My first video since my Dad passed and it's with a man who has recently been through the same thing and is turning this difficult experience into a positive by raising funds for charity.

Ritchie Humphreys talks through being a Blade whilst playing for the other side of the city as well as his charity bike ride in memory of his father, John

Just watching this, what school did he go to? Played for Greenhill & Lowedges, like me. Although our year was probably the most underwhelming compared to the couple of years above, who were really good.

Seems a decent lad.

Fuck him
He said in an interview once that he was glad he'd joined the biggest club in Sheffield and took great pleasure in belittling United

Top Blade was big John. Hope they raise a ton of money.
