I once re-signed him for United on Premier Manager '98 and he played to the ripe old age of 51

Elegant ball player was Cockerill.

Always remember his goal that wasn't v Grimsby at the Lane where he put one in the top corner, the ball hit the stanchion inside the net and came out, the ref being the usual crap un who was blind as a bat, ruling that it had never gone in. We lost it 3-2.

Always been lucky us Blades.

Owd ‘No Neck’ was a very good player sold too soon.

 

[8lade]

Had my 'people' checking the care homes for him, called off the search.

 

[Topplayersleave]

One of my favourite players from that shocking era
Still the £200,000 fee from supergiants Southampton probably saved us from bankruptcy again

 

[sladeblade]

Great player now looks like an old rock star

 

[Topplayersleave]

He scored a goal for Southampton at the swill and dedicated it to Blades everywhere

“Does that bed pan smell like Cockerill?”

 

[BritishSteel]

Was this the follow up to " Whatever happened to the likely lads" ?

Good idea but guess it never made it past the pilot episode.

 

[Geordie Blade]

I was eight when we sold him and I refused to go to the next home match in protest. If I’d known about shoes and car parks, I would’ve done that instead.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Fine player , as was his dad Ron who I also remember .

The latter was also a very talented cricketer who I once saw smash a six out of the ground and onto the roof of a nearby school !

That would have been quite a sight. Holding your “Sunnysan” sandals aloft in the car park!

A great player. Always a thorn in our side when he played against us for Lincoln City. The final piece in the jigsaw when we signed him. Great range of passing and great pace. Liked him a lot, even though a polo neck sweater was wasted on him!

 

[Silent Blade]

Our player of the season for 1984-85

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

Our player of the season for 1984-85

By the look of his dress sense & hair style, he’s still mentally still there.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Our player of the season for 1984-85

We escaped the drop that year

 

[1889]

Fuck me, 59 years old with a 6 year old son?

I reckon he’ll be tiling bathrooms ‘til they put the lid on, rather him than me, but as ever, GLTTOL

Whatever happened to Joe Bolton? Proper hard man and fav of mine.

 

[boo radley]

I remember going to see us play Lincoln away in the FA cup. He was the standout player and I'm sure it was on that performance we signed him?
Cannot remember the year though?
He used to come in to the Wee Willie with Colin Morris on a regular basis.
Really was a cracking player and the Glenn Cockerill of that time would fit in the present team no problem and be our stand out midfielder.

Oh no . Here we go - Helen Shapiro , Green Shield stamps , Woodbines , Davy Crockett hats ........

Nope just a genuine question.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

Nope just a genuine question.

I know . Just a tongue in cheek observation on how these things can develop on here .

 

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

The perm at the back, Farrah trousers and a lambs wool Pringle jumper

So how is Joe Bolton?

I worked with a Lincoln fan and when we signed him, he told me he was Lincoln’s best player and we’d signed a top player.
Said scouts of bigger clubs were watching him so we’d done well to get in early and sigh him when we did.

He was correct, He quickly became our best player, fantastic engine, high energy, always busy.
All round style, good tackler, good passer and shooter, good brain too, generally kept it simple and effective.
No spectacular skill or flair, understated style (like an Engolo Kante type) means he doesn’t often receive a mention when talking about our best players but he was a consistently very solid/ effective player that became too good for our team.

You could see that Cockerill was destined for the top division and it was no surprise a top flight club came in for him.

He came up to me in a pub in chesterfield. I had my Utd shirt on and he started chatting and said I used to play for sufc. Surprised I asked who he was and he said Joe Bolton. Seemed really nice bloke and still had a soft spot for us.
