[Davie Blade]

No not really missed much apart from the 7 - 3 thrashing.

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Singing in the rain game,after all the wait till you come to Hillsborough taunts from the Wednesday fans,so sweet

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

7-3 bit before my time

 

[maxtheblade]

Corky's goal at Wembley - I had a shit view of a shit goal in a shit game with a shit result - but I saw the Blades score at Wembley!

Personally the moment that Duffy smashed the ball past Westwood and the bouncing stopped,

That was most beautiful moment ever, and a beautiful introduction to the Sheffield derby for Brownie jnr

I would abridge no. 4 to the 1st goal, local boy made good, through the ranks, 100% Blade, putting us 1-0 infront of the kop in a game we supposedly had no chance of winning, following the most risible chuckle brothers collision between 2 of their leading lights which broke the nose of one of them. As Sir David Attenborough might whisper, quite, quite magnificent!

I’m sure I remember Beattie scoring a free kick that took the roof off, but your list is really hard to argue with.. Duffy goes down in history without a doubt, timing is essential and location was key, he does beat brownie into second place and I never thought anybody would do that..

 

[I should coco]

Loved Duffy's goal and Brooks' nutmeg but for me the 'Bobby-Bobby-Bobby Davison' singing in the rain tops it.

Having said that I reckon you've got a pretty good top 10 there.

are we talking the winner in the Bramall Lane end through the GK's legs?

My first Derby

UTB

 

[snootyfenooty]

Nah, nothing beats the 60's when the pigs bought iron lung for £100k and as usual were going to smash us. So we countered that by splashing out £10k for a balding grandad by the name of Bill Punton.....who duly scored the winner.

My first competitive Steel City derby too. Missed only 2 since then (both in 1980)

You've no need to make stuff up vs the pigs, they just keep putting it on a plate.

 

[UnitedBlade]

The 7-3 and 5-1 wins at the Lane.

Sherman’s double at the Sty.

Boxing Day - some may be surprised at this. It’s the most successful day of the year to play the pigs. Only lost once but won 3 times and drawn once. More points from the pigs than any other day we’ve played them.

Whose the Wednesday keeper?,it doesn't look like Ron Springett,who I presume was their goalie at the time,it can't be Peter,too much hair on the lad

Ahhhhh I'd forgot about the Beattie goal.
Late equaliser against the pigs, yum

Deano "nutmegging" woods at the bramall lane end

 

[Inter_blade83]

In my time, April 2001 was a special day. First time in several years at Hillsborough, 8,000 allocation for us, fantastic strike by D'Jaffo and the header from Asaba took forever to sneak into the far corner.

Amazing day.

 

[Harry's Game]

Chris “England’s no 1” Woods dropping the ball at Bobby Davidson’s feet to make it two nil in 1993.

 

[blade too long]

Derek Paces 65 yard lob at hillsborough in a 2-1 win

also special mention for Tonges free kick and Akinbiyis gleefull smashing of the ball into the kop end net

pushing us on to promotion

Plenty, tha's only covered 26 years and they have only had a wembley win and one double in the last 100years.

Brian Deane putting it between woods legs,
Singing always look on the brightside of life (which should always be repeated and never forgotten)

 

[Roygbiv]

The double we did over them under Bassett was my first season as a Blade. I think Duffys goal will go down in history because they thought they were gonna hammer us, they thought they were gonna beat us after they levelled and then BOOM

 

[boo radley]

Being there Boxing day and the fact that loads of Blades kept singing that stupid song about their glory, I could never understand.
Being there on September 2-4 was something very special and thanks to Mr Duffy, I now sing about our glory on Bouncing day.

The Stuart McCall assist for the Kabba equaliser in the 3-1 win epitomised McCall’s own game but also the team’s attitude under Warnock that season. One of my favourite assists for a United goal.

 

[JJ Sefton]

My first derby...

 

[CarlingBlade]

A1-1 draw at the Sty in 1993 when it kicked off and Hodges decked Harkes and Hirst, maybe not the best footballing moment but satisfying.

 

[Rodley]

Amazing day.

Forever christened “The Lion of Hillsborough’” was Big Laurent. Also to be remembered as the game where we had about 3,000 in their stand to the left as well.
