speedy69 Â Â 10 #13 Posted March 30, 2017 This is not correct as you and so many owls seem to agree it is I thought I'd just put the record straight Maidenhead didn't adopt the name "United"until 1920 so therefor Sheffield United are and always have been the original United..

cherrytree03   10 #14 Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Can you provide a link to this?  No problem. Now you do the same.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_United_F.C.  After the Great War the two clubs amalgamated as Maidenhead Town and adopted the famous black and white stripes. They had immediate success winning the Great Western League. In 1920 the name "United" was adopted and two years later they entered the Spartan League. They won the title three times in their nineteen-year stay. In 1936 Maidenhead reached the semi-final of the FA Amateur Cup losing 4–1 to Ilford at West Ham in front of 18,000 spectators. It was that season that the ground record attendance of 7,989 was set when Southall came to York Road in the quarter-final. In the 1929–30 season the club’s goal-scoring record for a season was set when Jack Palethorpe scored 65 goals in 39 games. He went on to play for Sheffield Wednesday and scored in the Owls FA Cup win in 1935. Edited March 30, 2017 by cherrytree03 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
