monzaman Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Nothing tippy tappy about our football at that time mate, Sheridan and Waddle pulling the strings in midfield, Worthington flying down the wing and Hirsty bangin em in, best football Sheffields ever seen, you can keep your Bassett era neanderthal hit and hope stuff. still tippy tappy though:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a world of difference between a top player making a 40yd pass to a colleague and Bassetts (and Warnocks) Sunday league cloggers wellying it up front and hoping Deane gets his head on it, a style that has largely been confined to the dustbin of history.

Apart from the fact that man utd and chelsea still use it now and it's deffo longer than 40 yrd passes.Also it should have read bassett warnock and megson:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said earlier that brand of football gets "found out" eventually (Warnock quicker than Bassett) I'd rather be rooted to the bottom of L2 than spend nigh on 20yrs watching it.

Well I'd rather watch us beat Man Utd and Arsenal but that's all a matter of personal choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
