McMahon Classic

[THE FLASH]

Anyone who says 'Don't you know who I am?' is a cunt.

Except the unknown soldier??

Have you got footage of any of the games at the back end of 2000-01 season please?

Still no pictures of our games against Oxford (A) or Peterborough (H) on the web.

i'd like the game we put four past oxford here around 97?

[Arch Stanton]

I havent got any footage from the turn of the century...I stopped being such a geek and recording stuff of the TV around about 1997. And as the club stopped doing end of season vids there is a black hole in my collection.

I had the official goals/season review videos covering pretty much 91 - 96.

I pretty convinced I've got us nailing 4 past Oxford at the Manor Ground, in a game we were two down in? I'll have a look.

Except the unknown soldier??

And 'the man with no name' ?

The board dont miss many tricks, but they have with the end of season dvd's thus far. It would be worth them getting the last 10 or 15 seasons worth of of Sky, ITV, highlights et al and putting them out, even though for most of that period we have been crap, it would be a nostalgic look back, and i'm certainly that much of an anorak to buy them all.

Any videos of Darren Bullock getting sent off knocking about? Always a laugh.

[Arch Stanton]

I've got him scoring on his debut vs Birmingham City... we all thought he was gonna be a megastar then!!!

I think thats the same game that Marlon Broomes 'swept' in a 30 yarder as well!! (I believe that pun was actually used by the Adver in the following days match report)

Bullock only ever got one red playing for us.

Larwood found the Daily Star when Bullock clocked Steve Bruce in her dads attic last week. Front cover of their football pull out is Bullock getting restrained by about 4 players.

August 10th 1998.

'FOOTBRAWL IS BACK'

'Steve Bruce was in the wars - after just 11 minutes of his debut as Sheffield United player boss in the 2-1 victory over Swindon
Swindon's fiery midfielder Darren Bullock sparked the fracas which saw Bruce take a punch. But Bruce quipped it was handbags until I got one on the chin, the referee did well to just walk away and get on with it'


He didnt get sent off. Unthinkable now. 

The picture is Bullock looking down at Roger Nilsen on the floor. George Ndah looks like he is telling Nilsen to fuck off, crouched over him. This paragraph is a McMahon classic.

'United's Norwegian centre back Roger Nilsen was accused by McMahon of being "unprofessional" and taking a dive during the punch-up
Nilsen said "Bullock had his arms around my throat. I had to go down to get away from him".

Just proof that foreigners have made our national sport a game for poofs if ever it was needed.

Wow, that was quite a find, old newspapers are quite a scream when you stumble across them, I found an old copy of the telegraph in the attic with coverage of the Wembley victory over Sunderland..... ahh the memories!

McMahon did bring a fair few psycho's into the squad - Bullock and Collins being two that spring to mind. I've got some footage of Gary Elkins flying into Crystal Palace's Carl Veart as he was squaring up to Mark Walters, Elkins barges him to the ground, sparking a brawl.....he didnt get sent off either, but Walters saw red later in the game....

 Fuck it, I'll see if I can find it so I can post it up....watch this space....

[Arch Stanton]

Here you go -





Plus a bonus video of Bullock scoring on debut vs Birmingham, which also includes the Marlon Broomes wonder goal that I referred to in an earlier post. (plus a great bit of skill by Mike Newell and a pretty decent strike from Gary Ablett!)

Albert Steptoe watch on the first vid.

[juddie]
