what became of him? Was a heavy drinker and a bit of a lad. Wasn't at the recent get together of the ossie play off squad(Ross MacLaren the other absentee)
I know he drifted out of football only a couple of years after leaving us when his alcoholism got a grip on him. Such a shame and waste of talent. Where he is now though I don't know. Coincidentally we signed him from tonights opponents for £40k. |

Currently sat in the Mecure in the city centre. Sadly i'll be on my way home at four. Watch out for 50mph ave cameras Northampton area and Nottingham - Sheffield area. There WILL be traffic congestion.

It appears we are definately the underdogs if forums are anything to go by. Out of 120 votes in the Sheff Utd forum only 12 think we can go on and win promotion. http://www.s24su.com/forum/index.php?threads/play-off-poll.39687/Being underdogs could genuinely work in our favour with all the pressure on Sheffield, their fans are well known for being moaning fickle negative fans anyway. |

Third. The other two we won. 3-2 against Wigan in '87 (after coming back from 2-0 down), and doing the conga in the away end, and winning 2-1 at Blackburn, after a Steve Foley special.  !! And chucking all those clods of grass/mud that constituted the away end |

I'd read little to nothing into that. Most seem unaware that we've been playing our reserves/youths lately. Not that a poll would make any difference anyway. |

Nothing any of us write has any influence at all on the game  Reading all the forums (I was bored) of all the clubs in our division (and several that aren't) I would say that in the eyes of fans of other clubs we are by far and away the least fancied of the 4 teams with most backing Preston (as the finished highest obviously) or backing the plucky, smallest fanbase, side Chesterfield, mostly because they don't like us, PNE or Sheff Utd it would seem. If football matches were the result of fans forum positivity then Chestefield would walk the play offs well ahead of us, Preston and Sheff Utd. Both Preston and Sheff Utd have more than their fair share of whinging moaning negative posters that put ours to shame. |

Leaving work at 2:00.
Nervous and proud to be cheering on the lads.
Sheffield United reduced to 10 men and a 1-1 draw.
