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.
My brother in law gave me his ticket in their west stand for this game,my cousin,who sat beside him,rang me in a panic,not wanting to sit beside his older Blades supporting cousin.
My younger brother,also of the blue persuasion,wound our cousin up,telling him," you know he's bound to say something,you know he'll fight back if them mates of yours say owt to him,then you're sat there for the rest of the season "
Our Stewart shit his self and gave his ticket away to another Blade,and we sang and danced when Hodges went on his demolition spree,getting sent off.....
 
Mick Hill's equaliser at Hillsborough in January 1968 would be in there somewhere for me. We were in a relegation fight and Wednesday were looking to do the double over us, having won at Bramall Lane earlier in the season. Fantham put them in front soon after the break. Time was running out when Willie Carlin picked the ball up in midfield and embarked on a 50 yard run towards the edge of their box. He laid it off to his right, Hill hit it first time on the run and it absolutely pinged into the net off the far post at the Leppings Lane end despite Peter Springett's dive. I was nine, on my own in the stand at that end - my dad had driven me to Meadowhead, put me on the 42 or 53 bus, given me my bus fare and the price of admission and told me to "take care" - and I jumped up and cheered. I was surrounded by Wednesday fans but could see other Blades in that stand doing the same as me. Carlin wheeled away towards the South Stand and kissed a female Unitedite celebrating on the front row. It ended 1-1. The crowd was 43487.

King Tudor's winner in 1970 is up there too along - obviously - with Duffy's golden goal in September.
 
"Birchenall's Derby", stood with the Blades fans at the top of the Kop going ballistic.

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!
My only visit to Wembley; is it just me or did it take about 10 seconds from the ball leaving his foot to crossing the line? I remember jumping up to celebrate and when I landed it still hadn't gone in!
