Blades have allus been a selling club, hence we are where we are. How many big clubs have recruited a vision technician (window cleaner}, Ooh Ahh Bob Booker to play in the top division? Bob did us proud but a huge contrast to massive sums paid for just above average players by the up their own arse so called massive clubs. Big spending as deffo killed the competive nature and great history of the English game. Remember when Chester went to the wall for a debt of just 10k owed to the tax man and no one came to their aid? Knowing what we know now even the fiddling lying bastards at Post Office management could have found a bit of their loose change to save them. I mention Chester because whenI was a muscle mechanic in civvy street Former Blade Mick Speight was excited about getting the job there and was going through his physical preparation for the demands of the job. Don,t know what Mick is up to these days but a great South Yorkshire lad with the tenacity of a Bull Terrier!
TRUE BLADE is my title Peaky mi owd pal.
