abbeyedges   83 #13 Posted May 15, 2021 I think the 'Bouncing' was massacred that day.  Sad to think of being a Blade for over 55 years and the level of success we have enjoyed (or not), that day was one of my best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bassett one   451 #15 Posted May 15, 2021 if i recall correctly was not the great dooley our highest ever in one season goal scorer?my father always said when he had the ball and ran ,it was magic,down went the oppsition players like skittles and often him,the full back,the goalkeeper and the ball ,all in the net,pity we cannot play like that these days,you only have to blow at a player and its a free kick.

abbeyedges   83 #16 Posted May 15, 2021 Dooley would make sure 'early doors' he gave the goalie some stick. It put the keeper on edge for the rest of the match always keeping an eye open for Dooley whenever the ball came near him.  Early mind games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

My next door neighbours a scouser and he loves to rip us both to bits, us especially,hes been allover the world to watch his team. Kid i grew up with has a man utd season ticket,had to wait for someone to die to get it, hes the same,theyre brought up on winning trophies. But you only have to look to Leicester to see its achievable if you have the ambition and get the all important recruitment bit right you can compete, west ham could be the next to break into the top 6.
