[Silent Blade]

You've got to kidding with Hope!

It is obvious you watched the Blades from 1972. In 1971, Hope had a poor game only once in 1971 and that was in the 5-0 League Cup defeat at West Ham

He was poor ask most Blades and I've been supporting United since 1966 by the way

Foulke off Tracey for me​

 

[Silent Blade]

for the purposes of this thread, 'keeper for me would be McAllister (Kelly as back-up)!

Ask most Blades? Are you questioning my memory? Hope was good in 1971. Hodgy had lost confidence and form, other teams knew about it. Harris had to do something so in January 1971 he brought in a big keeper and Hope made a big difference. He played well, making a lot of good saves (particularly in the 0-0 home draw against Norwich in April as Norwich dominated the game)for the rest of the 1970-71 season. He carried on playing well in the first half of the following season (apart from that 5-0 defeat at West Ham) and was called up to the England u23 twice. He had a shocker in the 5-0 defeat at home to Arsenal but still kept his place in the team for more than 2 months ( Harris asked Hodgy to return but he refused and McAlister, who played in the friendly against Dynamo Kiev, wasnt ready yet) and then he had a shocker in the 4-0 home defeat against Derby. McAlister then came into the 1st team and stayed there until he broke his leg against Man city in October 1973

I always liked Kevin Arnott as a player, especially as he was playing with some proper shite! However with the central midfielders I've seen I'd need a squad of fifty to include him. I couldn't decide for ages between Brown, Hamson and Sabella!

Not questioning your memory at all its just my opinion but Hope was not in the same class as Mcallister, Brown, Kelly possibly Tracey, Burridge was good but essentric, Kenney made great saves but didnt command his box, Hodgy was folklore.


I would put Hope in the same catorgory as Nicky Johns

He scored my favourite Utd goal at Southend in div 4. Hamson was good and close ,Sabella was all style but no substance.

 

[mattbianco1]

Only including players i've actually seen play.

Kelly​

​

Boborkis McGrath Jagielka Nilsen​

Ndlovu Brown McCall Whitehouse​
