Your prized Blades related possession?

[Foxy]

In joint first place with that is an album which I'm keeping for my son. It has a photo of him at every away game he's been to plus his ticket from the game. Hopefully I'll keep that going and give it him as a catalogue of misery when he's older.

That's a cracking idea, hope he appreciates it and looks back fondly on all the awful Saturday afternoons

Actually, did we ever get any from the time you joined us in a box for our 188bet competition?

Yes - you sent us a photo of him with Tony Currie.

Less excitingly (unless he turns out to be a complete anorak), I'm keeping a spreadsheet with details of every game he's been to (108 so far) mainly because I'd have loved one for the game I've done.

I have a DVD which an ex-SUFC player made for my wedding. It's a spoof documentary about me as a Blade and features appearances from Simon Francis, Michael Tonge, Andy Gray and an Oscar worthy performance from Paul Peschisolido. Watched it a time or two and it still makes me laugh every time..

Jack Lester by any chance

 

[Dog Blade]

Like that Coops, and what a great kid he is. Amazing how your potty mouth managed to clean itself up the last years, most of the time! I anticipate it's return once he reaches secondary school.

Well when they were demolishing John St I decided to ask for one of the turnstiles, but I was too late. I got half a turnstile door instead - and made p[art of it it into a seat for the kids swing. United have been up and down a few times since then.

I still have my season ticket book for 1966/67 and programmes from 1965 to now - not a full set though.


My proudest possession would be 2 tickets for the125 celebration event but I ballsed up and forgot to buy them...................so if any one.........................

I like Raul's

but in terms of physical possessions then I've got a row of 5 of the old wooden seats from The South Stand in a row in a little bar I've built to get away from the wife and two daughters at the bottom of the garden. Alongside my favourite Cops n Robbers bandit and Del Boy bar it's a nice hideaway to watch the football, and Coopers Wedding DVD.

Also got an old working turnstile (from the Kop or John Street I think, they got rid of them about 7 years ago and sold them for about £150 each - anyone know which stand they were from as I've forgotten). That proper turnstile 'clicking' sound can take you straight back to the 'good old days'.

 

[RedandWhite]

I have saved every ticket to every game I have ever been too, might make something with them one day.

 

[Trigger Blade]

A piece of concrete from the old John Street terrace from when it was demolished. My Uncle worked on that job and took some for me though I didn't ask him to.

It's something I've kept for the 20 years or so since it went. Also something to remember him by as he's no longer with us.

Same theme, but at a BIFA fund raising auction a year or so after that, I bought two pieces of the cast iron Bramall Lane street sign, salvaged from the rubble after demolition.

It has pride of place over the stove in the living room and baffles visitors, as it spells AMA ANE

 

[Northyorksblade]

A signed framed print of Alan Kelly making a save during penalties in the fa cup game v Coventry many moons ago. And my name plate that was on my seat for being a member of the (very) select group who joined Blades 2000. Not the best marketing ploy United have ever had, only 200 odd members!

 

[Greenwich Blade]

My copy of Fever Hitch, which the author never signed. Beware that one, very dodgy!

More valuable without the signature.

Have you seen the latest prices on Amazon?

Have you seen the latest prices on Amazon?

Are we down to a penny again?

 

[More Bladier than thou]

my shares, my number plate and luminous yellow shirt from1990. oh and the memories

 

[Greenwich Blade]

Oh my goodness! I just checked and I

Are we down to a penny again?

Oh my goodness, I just looked and I laughed and laughed and laughed.

They start at a penny and go right up to £348.38. If anyone is thinking of buying it my tip would be to go for the 1p ones.

I got a birthday card for my 40th thanks to Brian Gayle who pinched it off the now ex wife before returning it to her a few minutes later signed by Basset and quite a few of the 94-95 team. Got a few Christmas cards from the club signed by Neil Warnock somewhere probably in the loft, with the programmes going back to 1963 ( I must find a good home for them someday, what a load of old tat we fans collect)

 

[metty]

I've got a grey hair for every Blades game I've been to. I look like a timber wolf.

 

[FleaPitBlade]

I have a shirt with Prest 5 on the back which Billy Sharp got signed for me.

Merging this with the lying to your kids thread, my son hasn't yet realised that it isn't actually the shirt daddy wore when he made his United debut!

 

[shorehamview]

I've got a seat from the South Stand from when it was upgraded to placcy seats, and I've got the signed match ball from Jags's first game. I've also got the Junior Blades membership card that my daughter received when I enrolled her at the age of around three yours old, and it's still in my wallet. That's probably the best bit of tat that I've kept.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

My one and only autograph book given to me by my father as a christmas present when I was a kid - has all the United promotion side of 1960-61, the Burnley side of 1961-2, lots of individual players and perhaps "spoiled" by the entire Wendy team of the early sixties when Swan, Layne and Kay was playing (John Fantham r.i.p was kind enough to get the latter - my mum worked at his mothers shop). Nowadays it isn't fashionable collecting autographs but I still treasure that little book.

 

[JohnDenver]

I've got an old, dishwasher addled, Blades mug which is hardly recognisable as such. The logo and text is barely readable anymore.

But it was given to me on my 18th birthday by a remarkable person who, unbelievably unjustly, is no longer with us. So there we are.

 

[Nedski]

Does anyone have any info on this mirror? Is it rare? My uncle gave it to me years ago but I have no idea what the story is behind it

My goal-producing ring of destiny.
