    Did you notice after our second goal that Paul Walsh had a different shirt to the rest of the team, a different shade of yellow; no blue collar and nothing on the arms?

    Have set the record button to watch later. 

    Martin Peters was player manager if the Blades. 

    I think that this was the game where Peter Shaw went on a Beckenbauerisq serging run.

    Scrub that I was talking about the home match which was also televised. 

    Was this the away game where we wore a Sheffield Wednesday kit?

    I was at the game. I thought due to a mix up we played in Sheffield Uniteds away kit?

    Yes correct Wednesday away kit. 

    Three memories of the day. We were held at a service station for an hour as the match was in doubt due to the icy weather. During the second half there was a massive roar. Apparently Wednesday were losing. Cue a chant of Jackie Charlton has fucked it up again.

    Finally after the loss a Blade shouted at us as we boarded the coach that we should stay down with them. We went up and they were relegated to Division 4!!

    Seem to remember Rotherham v Colchester was rained off so the TV went to Bramall Lane instead. We had to borrow a set of shirts from Wednesday as we'd only taken up a set with our sponsors name on them, those were banned on telly in those days. Utter mudheap of a pitch if I recall correctly.

    Wasn’t it a case that we had FADS on our shirts and the TV cameras couldn’t show it?

    I remember the home game. Traveled back into London on the train with a couple of Blades fans who were close to tears!

  • Really enjoyed the match. Hatrick from Killer and Bremner playing for Hull. Colin Powell was really good and a great interview with Killer in the studio afterwards. Those were the days !

    I had a look under “available episodes” on Sky and there is a FA cup programme from 1981, with brief highlights of our 5th round tie at Ipswich. Also, there’s a young Colin Walsh playing for Forest, they huffed and puffed to a win over Bristol City. They had a good excuse, they had flown to Japan and back the previous week for the world club championship.
  • 5.55pm tonight - Fulham vs Charlton - 1977 - with George Best playing for Fulham - on ITV 4

    Interesting interview with Brian Moore, Keith Peacock and a Fulham player whose name I didn't catch. They spoke like normal people, being honest about mistakes and issues in the team, seemed totally different from todays media trained and non-controversial players comments.

    Alan Slough was the Fulham player.

    How bad did Fulham look consider they had Moore , Marsh and Best in the side .

    They had the Christmas one on last week (1976 I think) where Elton John was presenting with Keegan and Channon as co-hosts.

    It was so bad, it was almost brilliant.
