Your most random bit of Blades merchandise?

During my first ever Christmas spent at a girlfriend's house, I was naturally very touched to see that her mum had bought me a santa sack and filled it with presents to avoid me feeling left out.

I was less touched to discover that it contained not one, but two Sheffield United stamped rubber ducks, by far the most pointless piece of merchandise I had ever clapped eyes on.

We're not together any more.

Still have the ducks.

Ive got a Harry Maguire Russian Dolls set. Away in Prague for a weekend saw a stall full of russian doll sets made of football players all the usual suspects were there man u, real, barca etc. I flippantly said to the bloke where's sheffield united then to which he said one minute. He then appeared with a small wooden Nick Blackman which fitted inside Neil Collins and inturn inside Harry Maguire. I was that taken aback i paid whatever ridiculous price he wanted.

I got one of these too in Prague :)
 
I have Robert Page's game worn shirt from a home match versus Norwich a few years ago. I think he may even have scored the goal in a 1-0 win (stato's? - it was early in the season, probably August 2004ish). The company I was working for sponsored the match and got the players shirts to auction off for charideee. Page's shirt somehow found its way home with me.I was sat just behind 'Let's be 'avin ya' Delia in the directors box.
 
I've got an away shirt with hai hou dongs signature on it...

Either that or I wrote the Chinese order on it by accident....
 
I’ve got the white Midas games away shirt from 2003(??). On one of the open days I had it signed by all and sundry.

Then had it embroided.
 
I have a poster from 1984 that shows us playing at home v Arsenal in the FA cup. Unfortunately our home ground is Hillsborough. It is a 'Hot Shot Hamish' themed poster though, so not serious, unless you loved the old Beano, Beezer comics from back in the day. They obviously got confused by our attendances back in 84 and confused the clubs.

I was just thinking "I've heard that story before" then saw the date!
:oops:
Didn't realize the thread was that old! :)
 

I didn't believe it.
Then more people starting coming forward with the same story.
Then the pictures.
Although in fairness the guy who produced the dolls was no artist, I'm sure i could do a better version of Fleck in 2 minutes.
 
I've got a freeze dried turd from the first dog allowed into the Lane ('Rex').

I get it out most days and marvel at its complex structure and size.

I could spare some if any needy Blade is desperate. Let me know your address and I'll shove it through the letterbox.
 
I got really pissed in republic nightclub......3am, on the way home i jumped over the turnstiles and ran on the pitch. Decided i wanted some adidas predator boots so Pulled the tunnel doors open (not locked), fell down the tunnel stairs, went into home dressing room and basically stole Kevin Blackwells coat. It had KB on the label. Started to sober up shortly after and as the sun was coming up, i got the fuck outta there. Woke up in my bed wearing KB's coat. Good night but iam not proud of it.

Can't beat the Russian dolls but I bought a Sheffield United FC mug in Cornwall in 1972.

It's claim to fame? It was blue, green and white with not even the tiniest hint of red on it.

I got one of those as well, it had the Sheffield coat of arms on as I recall. I bought mine in Coombe Martin in Devon at about the same time.
 
I've got a tape measure with the crest embossed in silver on the side...

10/10 on the adventure.
0.004/10 on the reward.

Weirdly enough that is where my random merch comes from too.
I bought the white away kit that season and there was a comp in the star and the winner got given the full kit, presented on the pitch with a player and also got one of those weird pendant things signed by the players - as my avatar will show, I was paraded onto the pitch for the game v Norwich with none other than the great Mark Rankine! :rolleyes:

Interestingly, I chose to have Page 6 on the back of the shirt and that is when he scored his one and only goal, nice volley it was too. I like to think I influenced the outcome of the game with my shirt name selection :D

Me and my mate once went to the club shop in the summer when stuff was being sold off cheap. The player photos were about 20p each, all sold out, just one or two left even of the most occasional reserves, but a bloody great pile left of Lee Sandford.

I felt sorry for the f***er so bought the lot. 64 Lee Sandfords
