They dreamed of playing for The Blades part 1

Juan Sebastián Verón

I didn't realise his uncle was Pedro Verde and has a youngster his dream was to play for Sheff Utd
After his transfer to Manchester United, Verón said, "So there I was hoping to play for Sheffield United and here I am at Manchester United!"

Yep. I remember this story in the Sheffield Star a few years ago when he was at Man U. Very odd for him to be a follower of the Blades but I suppose the family connection explains it. He's still playing and would certainly get a game in our side!

Pedro Verde would still gat a game in our current side...........

"Verde's contract was cancelled in the summer of 1981, around the time of the Falklands war..."

Surely shome mishtake?

Up there in the quality stakes is Steve Heighway. Slightly lower down, John Beresford and Richie Humphries...

Because you don't work hard enough young man. Shit will always lose out to harder working shit.

Try harder to be worse.

I thought he went at the end on the 1979/80 season, so I reckon it is a mistake as well.

I'm just looking forward to parts 2 and 3 featuring Nathan Dyer and Kyle Reid!

And he's still got the County Cup!

Kevin Davis could be one. He was a very tearful 15 year old when given the boot.

Kevin Davis could be one. He was a very tearful 15 year old when given the boot.

He was less tearful when he told United to ferk off after he started scoring for Chesterfield.

"If I wasn't good enough for you then, I'm not good enough for you now."

I used to see one of Kevin's cousins quite a lot a few years ago, and he gave me that quote. I also won a fair few quid via Kevin when he was talking to a few of us about the state of the Blackburn dressing room the last time they got relegated.

"We could go in at hal;f time 3-0 up, and no ferker would say a word to anyone. I hate it there."

They were duly backed (repeatedly) to be relegated, and HH (for once ) formed an orderly queue at the 'pay out' hatch.
