Nice - where did you get that from?
I have had it around 15 years pal, I was playing cricket in Skegness on my birthday, when I got home my wife had bought it from an antique dealer on Abbeydale Road, she doesn't drive and got a bus to pond Street and then a bus home, it weighs a ton! It has pride of place in the kitchen as you can partly tell, great conversation piece when we have visitors, which reminds me of an estate agent sat in my kitchen a few years ago when he looked up and saw it, he was a Wendy, he went on to tell me a tale hiw a few years ago he was in a house to price it up for a possible sale, the childs bedroom was covered in everything blades, he went down stairs and made a light hearted comment about the bedroom , the man looked up at him and asked if he was a pig, he literally threw him out of the house, followed by a load of expletives , true story, I then threw him out of my house.
 
My play off final T-shirt turns 21 in a few weeks. The moths have not got to it yet.

I’ve plenty of blades memorabilia but this has to be the most random. It even says “BLADES” on the top
i once made one of these using the plan in the Blue Peter annual.. i took it to a game and it got confiscated (offensive weapon) . never got it back .. tbf you could have done some damage with it :)
 
Got plenty of stuff, hundreds of programmes, shirts (couple rare), trading cards, newspaper clippings, and some old stuff from the shop, like a glass tankard from the early eighties, probably not many of those knocking about now.

Two most obscure pieces of United memorabilia are these though.

This cup made by a family friend. Can't drink out of it because the lacquer is toxic so it's not much use as a cup haha

And this bit of the old John Street stand that my Dad got from the building site. He was a steward for years, and saw a chance to get a bit for posterity one day while he was walking down. Suppose it could be any old brick so it's worthless, but knowing where it came from, it's cool to have.

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.

Bizarrely you can still get them in Prague! I was there a little over a year ago and you could get them, Billy Sharp was the first one. But it was in the previous seasons kit, the white one, so I didn't bother as it doesn't look like a blades shirt. Never seen them anywhere else though..... how odd.

A bottle of wine with a spelling mistake. A real collectors item! Let me know if you want to make a cheeky bid!
 
A ‘I’ve scored at Bramall Lane’ thong, the wording being strategically placed..

I stress it’s a female one and not a Stringfellow on a beach one.

And if the lovely lady wants it back then I’m up for a rematch after all these years. The bike may be a bit battered in appearance, the engine may need a good pull on the choke to get going but I can assure you the ride is a lot more relaxed than in 89..
 
I got Paddy Kenny's gloves from Crewe away in the promotion season, he dropped a corner which led to their goal if anyone remembers. He ran over to the crowd at the end of the game and seemed to make a beeline for me and my lad for some reason.
 
I have a seat in the garage from the old John Street stand and also had 'Sheffield United FC established 1889' tattooed down the shaft of my penis by Phil Starbuck after a drunken game of Truth or Dare in The Sheldon circa 1995.
 
I've got one of the old wooden South Stand seats somewhere in my cellar. Mrs SV keeps threatening to chuck it out, but I've told her she goes before the seat does. :D

I saw her earlier in Wilkos asking where the firelighters and matches were kept.

Got to go now as I can smell burning......

I once bought some wood from Texas when Mike (spit) McDonald owned us. BIFA's friend.
