This was fantastic by both fans

Three of my biggest memries as a 9/10 year old, Mel walking round the pitch, getting there at daft o clock, parking in a random car park and getting approached by a rough looking bloke who gave us a box of red and white balloons whilst looking like he was going to stab us, and getting randomly hugged and thrown around by an old bloke as Corky scored.
 
My best friend worked at the post office at the time, so we went down on their coach.
It was.knackered to say the least, windscreen wipers stopped working going down the M1.
Was a coach of blades and owls having a good old crack.
When Mel walked out onto the pitch the support from both sets of fans was superb.
When Wads put the ball down and smacked it I said to my mate top corner.
When Corky scored it was delerium.
But alas as always with us Blades never a happy ending at Wembley over the last 30 years.
On the way back out of London some cockney scroat started chucking stuff at the coach windows and banging on the door to try to get in, while we were stuck in traffic, at that point two lads(men) on the coach one blade and his mate and owl got of the coach.
Everyone else thought they were going to batter him, but no they calmly talked to him until he decided it was better to walk away.
Didn't get back to Sheffield till midnight.
My most cherished memory of Mel Rees was his debut at the Lane, can't remember who it was against now but what a superb goalkeeping performance it was.
World class.

I remember being in the shaky at Hillsborough full of wednesday fans singing about Mel Rees dying
Was one of the most disgusting things I've ever experienced and the first time I was introduced to the inner thoughts of our neighbours and sadly it's been a regular occurrence ever since
From accusing innocent young men of padophillia to casual racism and mocking dead children etc etc
