A mitre. Great football.

 

[Bath Blade]

It’s got to be the Mitre Delta.

 

[Harry's Game]

Missed Higgo and Salmon off there pal.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Your having a laugh, no Joe Shaw, only Currie from that list could live with him.

William Gillespie

Billy Gillespie and Nudger Needham were real Blades legends.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Missed Higgo and Salmon off there pal.

Geoff or Tinned?

 

[itsinyerblood]

Umbro used to make a spiffing ball.

 

[sheffielder]

Deane is the only one I’ve seen play.

No room for hodges though

 

[scottyblade70]

That white un in eightees, wi the red hexagons around it

 

[Esablade]

This is a bit like when David Bowie asked his fans to vote for the songs he’d play on his next tour and everyone voted for ‘The Laughing Gnome’

 

[DronnieBlade]

For me, 100% Glyn Hodges. As it stands.

But we have a current player that is rapidly catching him up.

UTB

Pentagons. You can't make a sphere from hexagons apparently.

 

[puppet]

Hutchison, Cowans, Borbokis, McGrath, Ebbrell (we will never know but that turn he did just before he crocked himself on half time vs Reading, had he repeated such skill over 200 games, would've made him Pele)...

 

[zablade]

Easy way to judge this.

Everyone who ever saw both Hagan and Currie says Hagan was the better player.

Told this story before but my late Grandad on my mums side was a huge Wednesday fan, had no time at all for United, I wouldn’t be allowed over his door step with my United shirt on when I was a kid, always said he wouldn't eat bacon as it had red and white stripes in it.

But ask him who was the best footballer he ever saw he would answer without hesitation.. Jimmy Hagan.

 

[Bladepicker]

Follow follow follow....

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Leon Clarke?

 

[adebo]

For me, 100% Glyn Hodges. As it stands.

Agree all the old uns I know who saw both Hagan and Currie in their prime say Hagan was better
but these type of yester year to modern comparisons always tend to be bias in favour of the older player.

Also the passing of time and nostalgia often seems to make a player seem better than they were.

 

[Silent Blade]

My dad would say Hagan but he thought Willie Hamilton (played for us between 1957 and 1961) was very talented. Billy Gillespie said he would watch us train and marvel at Willie's skills. Jock Stein said Willie was the most talented player he ever managed but despaired of his lifestyle
